pIsREPUTABLE pIYEs.

Police Captain Simmons appeared be-
fore the board and ked that the city re-
woke the licenses of the following saloons:
B. \. Trapp's, on X street, near Eighth;
Gibson ~ Cooks (the notorious Lafayettel,
on X street, between Fourth and Fifth;
c. Anderson's, on Eighth street. between
J and X, and John Frates, southeast COR
ner Of Third and l. streets. The Captain
gave a little history of each place, saying
they were breeding places for crime and
should be suppressed. Whenever q
criminal was wanted the police always
went to these places first.
Mr.. Copklin said he would like to hear
what the Chief of Police had to say be-
fore passing on the matter.
Captain Simmons said he was author
lied to speak for the Chief. They were in
consultation Sunday night, and agreed to
ask for the revocation of the licenses.
Police Officers Higgins and Franks
corroborated the statement of the Captain
with reference to the toulness of the sa-
looms on the black list.
1.-THE sooner we get rid of these places
the better are my sentiments" said
Trustee Green.
Mayor Steinman said he could not un-
derstand why there should be delay.
The police ought to know what kind of
places these saloons were and their word
should be sufficient
Mr.. Conklin said he only wanted to be
sure he was right before going ahead.
The Mayor moved that the licenses be
revoked and all three Trustees voted for
it.

The board was about TO proceed with
the opening of bids for the purchase of
the old tire-engine house at Nineteenth
and l. streets, when J. L. Brown put in
protest on behalf of Captain Jack, the
owner of the lot. He said the house did
not belong to the city, and he asked the
board to investigate before proceeding
with the sale.
"The property belongs to the city all
right enough" said Mayor Steinman,
"and I guess We'll sell it."
But won't you investigate the matter
first?" asked the attorney.
''We'll sell it first and investigate after
wards" was the reply.
But the board didn't sell the building
after all. 1t was found that only one bid
had been put in, that of Mr.. Scott. and
the Trustees did not think it would be
lust to the city to sell under such circum-
stances. Mr.. Conklin moved to Law the
matter over for week, and such action
was taken, despite the protests OF the lone
bidder.

ON SIDE ENTRANCES.

An opinion was received from CITY At
torney Post with reference to the closing
OF side entrances to saloons. He saws
the board has right to pass an ordinance
closing them il il so desires. The COM
munication was filed, and there was no
talk about the matter.
The bond of Henry C. Wolf, the new
Chief Engineer Of the Water Works, was
received and accepted. The sureties are
Z. Gum and John Driscoll.
Bids for improving Seventh street be-
tween D and 4 were opened and the con-
tract was awarded to b. Labs
The proposition to reconstruct the city
sewers under the plans recently submit
ted to the board by the engineers was tax en-
up. City Engineer Boyd said the pre-
liminary work would cost about 81 200.
and would consume about three months
time. The matter was laid over until
next week so that the engineers could
make a more definite estimate of the cost
OF the preliminary work.
Silss Chance addressed the board with
reference to the bad condition of the
crossing over the north levee near
Brighton. The levee belonged to the
city while the road was county affair.
He said the Supervisors We're willing to
stand half of the expense OF repairing the
road. The matter was referred to the
Street Commissioner.
CoDIFYING THE ORDINANCES.
Mayor Steinman renewed his request
that the board authorize the compilation
of a book of the city's ordinances. He
said the city had nothing but an ancient,
pasted together affair at present. He had
looked into the matter and estimated that
il would cost about $3.50 to codify the
ordinances and have them printed and
bound. The lawyers would all buy
copies. thus lessenIng the expense con-
siderably.
on motion OF Mr. Conklin, the Mayor
was authorized to have the books pub
lished.
Contractor Wall asked for two weeks
further time in which TO complete the
work of improving 5 street. between Sec
ond and Third. The request was granted.

gent public opinion of the country, and
the object lesson which the country is
now having in the course of the silver
senators, if carried to the extremity they
threaten, cannot fail to cause such a gen.
eral demand for a change as the senate will
not dare to disregard. 1t is obviously a
serious evil in our legislative system which
permits a small minority of senators to
block the way to urgently needed legis-
lation, and perhaps to defeat it, and the
sooner the evil is eradicated the better it
will be for the interests and welfare Of
the country. Nobody will object to fair
and reasonable discussion, but when this
has been had and all sides have been
given a hearing, to continue debate sim
ply for the purpose of delay and obstruc-
ton, is ~inexcusable and is at v~arience
with the basic principle Of free institu-
tons, that the will of the majority shall
prevail.

Exploded Traditions at Old Yale.

Both South college and the Athenaum
have their now blasted traditions. AS
to the former. it has been alleged in New
Haven-and at least one prominent ar
cheologist has Endorsed the story-that
about the time the college was built
there was a mysterious hiatus of grave
stones in the old cemetery on the New
Haven green. The tradition then averred
that these stones had been built into the
freplaces of South college, where they
would be found when the structure was
pulled down. Here was the fine hint for
a college ghost story, based on a spectral
apparitiOn of the atTrOnted owner Of one
of the stones, but, if ever penned, it is
outlawed now by the discovery that
every fireplace in Old South was of sim
pie brick.
Then, again, President Stiles diary
notes the confession of a student that he
had stolen the college Bible, dropped it
between the courses of mason work dur
ing the building Of the Athenaeum 1763),
and that there the sacred volume had
been bricked up-a myth proved so now
by the fall Of the AthenPum's walls
without the hlched Bibles temperance.

The Order Pleased the Cook.

The following story is told on a mis-
sionary of the China inland mission, a
bachelor keeping house for himself in the
southern part Of China: One morning,
in ordering his dinner, he wished to tell
his cook to buy him a chicken. Instead
Of saying we for chicken he aspirated
the word, saying, Buy me a 'che.''
His cook thought that was an cminently
proper command and went about his
marketing III high good humor. At noon
the missionary found 10 chicken cooked
intact, 10 nncrat all, for his cook had
not returned. About dark the man
came back, saying: This was not a
good day for buying wives. and [ have
been all day looking for one. but at last I
found one for you. She is rather old and
not pretty, but you a have her cheap.
Ihave promised $40for her. New York

arms, hands and legs. l had to rub and beat

in a measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession OF them. In addition, L had a
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an indeScrjbaDle gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians SAID 1t
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there Is no
relief. Once it faStenS upon a person, they
say, it continues its .insidiOus progress until
it reaches Il vital pOint and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. l had been dOctOrfng

to the growing bud. II, after an applica-
ton, good shower of rain falls, it will
be wise to go over the bed or field, as the
rain may wash the remedy off.
The same mixture for cut worms is the
remedy for the bud worm, and it can be
used by busting the bud OF the plant.
THE HORN WORM
does not trouble the bed, but assaiIB the
plant in the field when it is we'll grown.
Its appearance is indicated by it's eggs
being laid on the under side Of the leaf.
1t is well to keep a sharp lookout for
them about May. These must be picked
off by hand. Chickens, guineas and tn
keys, il they have the run of the field,
feed largely on this worm and do not
damage the plants. Wasps, dirt-daubers,
hornets, yellow jackets, aud all similar
insects are great feeders on the worms
which assail tobacco and should never
be killed. They are the farmer s. friends,
and should be protected. The small boy
ought to be taught that the wasp, the
hornet and the ell)w- jacket should never
have their nests destroyed. Tt would be
economy, where farmers have no clay
around their wells or horse troughs,
to haul it there, and thus furnish the
dirt-dauber the means of building his
house, and thus encourage it to make
it's home with him, even if he did not
plant tobacco. The same is true of the
other friendly insects; encourage and
protect them so that they may multiply,
for they are of great value to the farmer.

they may be the prey OF insects or be

come and the fertilizer, not having been
put in the soil long enough, may burn

and possibly others, it is we'll to have on
hand sufficient seed to provide against
these contingencies or accidents. Again,
no one should depend upon one sowing.
The first should be followed by another
every week or two, not only as a protec-
ton against accident, but to have fresh
plants with which to supply missing
places in the field, for which purpose they
are always needed.

WHAT KIND OF SEED TO SOW.
The common impression prevails that
Cuba seed, after they have seeded here g

imported seed; that they make d better

sought is to water so as not to pack tht
