A PROPER MOVE.
Name One of the Cruisers After
the Magic City.

The folio wing is the text of a resolu.
ton which j. Allen Watts introduced at
the last meeting of the Council, and
which was passed by that body. This
matter will be taken up and pushed with
the utmost vigor.
This resolution will be engrossed by
the clerk of Council and copies sent to
iel and Representative Edmunds:
Whereas in the opinion of this Coun-
Gil it would be appropriate and desirable
to have one of the new United States
cruisers named after the city of Roa-
noke; and
Whereas this Council has been in
formed that the Secretary of the Navy
is disposed to look with favor upon any
reasonable and proper request with this
end in view: now. therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Secretary of th @
Navy be and is hereby requested to
name one of the new cruisers after the
city OF Roanoke, and that in the opinion
of this Council the said name will be
appropriate for many reasons: First,
because this city is the best example of
the rapid and unprecedented growth and
development which has taken place in
VIC SOugn tu0 ldSb lew YEARS. IL nay
ing grown from wayside station of
few hundred people to town of twenty
odd thousand in the course of eight or
nine years, and having within its bord-
ers some of the largest and most varied
industries in the whole South; second,
because the name "Roanoke,' on &C
count of its historical associations, de-
serves considerat ton, the first English
ST ttlement in America having been
made at Roanoke Island, and the first
tobacco smoked by civilized men having
been grown on Roanoke Island, and
third, because the namo of Roanoke is
already we'll and favorably known in
connection with the naval history of the
United States.
Resolved, secondly, That copy of
these resolutions be sent to the Secre-
tary of the Navy, with the respectful
request that he give this matter his at
tention, and that if it is consistent with
the pubic good he comply with our de-
sires.

The atmosphere on Salem avenue was
rendered obnoxious by the fumes and
odors of burning trash that permeated
it yesterday. Merchants along that
street have made practice of burning
their trash instead OF carting it away.

German for Americans.

DR.. Jacob Mayors work just published
by l. Kohler, Oil Arch street, Philadelphia,
entitled German for Americans" is a
practical guide for self-instruction and for
colleges and schools. 1t contains pronun-
citation, grammar, sentences with special
reference to grammar; table of classifca-
ton of irregular verbs, exercises, dialogues,
phTaseology alphabetically arranged, list
Of words similar in sound, vocabulary with
nouns classified according to gender; Ger
man and English proverbs, rules to deter
mine the gender Of nouns, etc. The Ger
man language is being spoken all over the
United States, in the cities and villages, by
millions of immigrants and their American
born descendants, by naturalized citizens
and natives, in the popular gatherings OF
the masses, and in the select circles of So
ciety. In nearly all our higher institutions
of learning, German thought and its fruits
have found their congenial sphere of use
fulness; German professors are teachers al
our universities, and at German seats Of
learning many of our prominent professors
received their education.

No. 422. Filed June 15, 1892.-The prin-
cipal defendant below, the West Side Irri-
eating company, employed Clerf & Klein
smidt to excaVate an irrigating ditch
twelve miles long over the lands of various
owners. Clerf & Kleinsmidt sub-let to
plaintiffs two miles of the work. Plain
titts claimed performance of their sub-con-
tract, and filed a mechanics lien upon the
ditch, which they sought to foreclose by
this action. The superior court dismissed
the action for failure to show ownership or
interest in the land over which the line of
the ditch lay. All that appeared upon
these points was that the irrigating COM
pany owned the ditch and had possession
of the land it was being built upon with
out objections from the owners.
A ditch dug upon land either for the ir-
rigatiOn or the drainage of that land would
be an Improvement" which would sub
ject it to a lien for the cost of the ditch
and an extension Of the ditch over other
lands, which would be an appurtenanCe of
the dominant tract, would pass with it up
on a sale. Perhaps work upon such an ex-
tension at the instance of the owner of the
land to be benefited, or of some one haV-
ing an interest therein, would support a
lien on the land or such interest as the con-
structor of the ditch might have in it. But
in this case the most that is claimed is that
the lrrlgating company owned the ditch,
viz: the depression left in a third PERSONS
land after the work was finished, and
which, for aught that appears, had no
beneficial connection with that land what
ever.
This kind of property does not seem to
have been included in the contemplation
of the legislature as the subject of a lien,
although "diteh is enumerated as one of
the structures for labor upon which a lien
may be maintained in connection with the
land on which it is built, as against the
land owner. Judgment affirmed.

Beatty's PianOs and Organs.

Hon. Daniel f. Beatty, the great organ
and piano manufacturer, is building and
shipping more organs and pianos than
eyer. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
nlIess piOw boy, and by his indomitable
will ne has worked his way up so as to sell
so far, nearly 100000 of Beatty's organs
and pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles in his way that
would have wrecked any ordinary man for
ever, he turns to an advertisement and
comes out of brighter than ever. His in
ular and. are to be found in all parts Of the
world. We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 100000
more of his make, that means a business
of 0,000,0 900 if we average them at $100
each. It is already the largest business of
the kind in existence. Send to Daniel +.

Shameful.

Here is pen picture of two events, in
two private families, and their treatment
by the two big daily newspapers of Wash
ington D. c. The wife of an army officer
reported to the police that she had been
robbed of some diamonds. A short inVes-
tigation brought out the fact that her son,
a young man almost out of his teens, was
the thief. He confessed, the diamonds
were recovered, and his mother declined to
prosecute. One of the dailies printed about
five lines, casually referring to the matter
and the other printed nothing. So much
for slip from the straight path by a man.
Now for the other side. A
young woman, daughter Of a widowed
mother, employed in one of
the big government departments,
having the misfortune, through her love
for man. to lose that which every honest
woman prizes most highly, went to New
York to make a last appeal to the honor
Of that man, and, having been laughed at
and spurned, she determined to end the
life which was to her no longer worth liv-
long letter to her mother, cOnfessing her
her heart as only a woman in anguish can
do to a loving mother. Kind hands saved
her life and unkind hands exposed the con
tents Of that letter, and Notwithstanding
the knowledge that in so doing the brand
of shame was forever placed upon the brow
of that young woman and disgrace
brought upon her innocent mother, the
two dailies both printed every word of that
heart-rending letter, under flaming 'scare-
heads" and upon their most conspicuous
pages

Ex-Speaker Reod's Course.

The strangest conversion of the day is
that of Thomas B.RReed, of Maine. He
has officially announced that he is one of
Mr.. Blaine's supporters, and he has advo-
Gated his denomination. His present posi-
ton is as fairly good evidence as could be
given that the present movement, nomi-
nally in Mr.. Blaine's interest, issin reality
one directed against his best interests. Mr.
Reed, of Maine, has been most pronounced
III his hostility to Mr.. Blaine. He has
openly denounced him on every corner
in Washington, and upon one occasion
called upon the president to protect him
from the aggressions of his secretary of
state. l have heard Mr.. Reed say more
unkind things about Mr.. Blaine than ever
came from the lips of any democrat, A
year ago last winter l heard Mr.. Reed out
line new field of exposure for democratic
Investigators in case Mr.. Blaine should
ever come before the public as a presiden-
tial candidate. Mr.. Reed expressed this
opinion with yigor, and wondered why the
democrats had never taken up the particu-
lar subject mentioned by him at that time.
This was only one Of the many bitter
things that Mr.. Reed has said concerning
Mr.. Blaine in the last four years.-T. G.

TIpsY Cake.

The late Cardinal Manning was a strict
temperance man. In spite of his dislike to
alcohol in a liquid form, he was very fond
of what is known as tipsy cake-a cake
soaked in sherry or brandy. Whenever he
was invited anywhere those who knew of
his partiality to tipsy cake always mad
some ready for him. 81 vowed never to
drink anything intoxicating" he used to
say, "but never made vow to abstain
from eating intoxicants. Exchange.

worked out two inventions, by which

considerable degree Of efficiency
was attained, aud hs added 50 ner

Found His .S&by in i Catfish.

\ we'll authcticatcd story comes
from TccunSch, in Pottowutomic
country. John James, Il negro,
lives with his family on the banks
of the Canadian river. a few
days ago his 7-year-old son took
the S-month-old baby to ride in his
wagon. He soun came running
back into the house naked and
said that he had gone in SWIM
ming and the wagon with the ba-
by had rolled INTO the river and
sunk. Help was scared and the
river dragged, but though, the wag-
on was soon recovered, no trace OF
the child could he found. \ few
days after the father and brother
of the drowned child succeeded
in landing an immense catfish that
had swallowed the hook on their
set lines. What was their hor-
ror, when they came to clean the
fish. to find within its stomach the
remains of the missing child.
The body was badly mutilated.
The remains of the child were
placed in coffin with some por-
tions Of the fish, from which they
could not be we'll separated, and
Il funeral WAS held.-Xicayune.

f"A morning paper publishes
IL dispatch to the effect that $50
negroes who had boon employed
to do some railroad work near
Rockford, H., were sent back to
Georgia, owing to the fact that
the weather was too cold for them
to work. If the truth were known
the Democratic State committee
Of Illinois had more to do with
the negroes going back home than
the cold snap. The scheme of
Republicans to colonize negroes
from the South in Illinois is not
working very we'll. Every bunch
Of negroes brought into that State
have been located and are being
watched.
