Matters that were Discussed at Last Night
Council Meeting
At the meeting Of the city council last
evening considerable business was trans>
acted with but little delay. There we're
no lengthy discussions aud the proceed
ings rolled on uninterruptedly. Several
ordinances came up for action, but the
worthy couucilmen had all thoroughly in.
formed themselves on them alters, and con-
sequently there was not hitch in the pro.
ceedings.
Want Their Money Back.
There was some discussion on the
matter Of refunding the money to the
property holders on upper Moline ave.
nue., where the street had been widened
at the request of abutting property hold.
ers. After the avenue had been wild
ened and the work finished some of the
owners of abutting property came up
and paid as they had agreed, while others
have never done so. 1t was proposed 10
return the money to those who had paid,
a petition 10 that effect from such per-
sons having been received. Several CT
the aldermen thought that it should be
returned, while others we're of the opn>
ion that it should not be returned, but
some action be taken against those who
had failed to make good their promises
in this respect, and as compromise the
matter was deferred for future action.
Want the Tracks Removed.
On the matter OF the petition of prop.
erty holders along First avenue for the
removal of the tracks of the R. l. & P,
Fred Hsss was given permission to be
heard, and made extended remarks set
ting forth just why such action on the
part of the residents there had become
necessary, aud said he could not see how
the council could do otherwise than give
the petition the attention it demands.
He was followed by Col. J. W. Bracket,
who said that the residents there were not
asking favor, but merely doing what in
their minds was the proper recourse in
such matters. and after giving the senti-
ment of the people in that vicinity he
hoped the council would act in the prem-
Uses at once. After some remarks by
Aids. Guyer and Knox. the mstter WAS
referred to a committee previously sp-
pointed on kindred subject.

Has a Diagnosing Watch.

There is an old woman at Pitts
burgh named Mrs. Schwartz, the
number and value of whose patients
are the envy of all the doctors OF the
place. She is the only one OF her
school. The result Of her success
lies in the possession of diagnosing
watch. This is her own construction
after years of labor and at a large
sum of money This watch, says the
New York ESening Sun, has been
made according to some principle OF
anatomy that she has discovered.
The right hand, it appears, is pos
sessed of five veins, in the left hand
there are seven. The mechanism oil
the watch is so delicately adjusted
that, placed on the wrist, 1t IS az
fected by each one Of these veins. A
disturbance in any one of these
veins, f the watch is placed
on the wrist, is pointed
out by the figures on the watch.
Such disturbance indicates some DIS
ease according to the vein affected.
The disease being thus identlneu, IL
is treated with herbs and lotions OF
the old woman's manufacture. There
is no disease this old lady, who is an
educated woman with several learned
diplomas from the old country, is
afraid to tackle. Her method is to
rub the afflicted part with lotion
and say: I'm so many days this OIL
that will be-" All the evidence goes
to show that she is remarkably sue
cessfuI. Physicians who have taken
note of this say that it is merely al
example Of the power OF suggestion
and but another curious example o.
the mental vagaries so conspicuous
in the art of healing in this last dc
cade of the century.

Various are the ways Of starting a
picture, but surely none more curious
than that Of New York artist when
he starts to paint a batch of water
colors. He takes long strip of pa
per- vets it, daubs color upon it in
surfaces as large as dollar, and then
walks over it in pair of French
sabots, or wooden shoes. After he
has rambled around 1t for a time,
mixing and distributing the color,
subjects will suggest themselves out
of accidental blots Of green, blue,
brown and yellow, and he will cut
the paper into various lengths and
elaborate these suggestions into COM
plete pictures.

some of them being so small that

A Kings Dreadful Deed.

Not long ago there was terrible ex-
element at the royal court or An
nam. The King, Thanh-Tai, who IS
now IA years old, was missing. Etl'
uuette requires that the Annameso
King shall never leave the royal
grounds. He is a kingly prisoner.
And that the King should not only
be absent from the palace, but that
no one should know where he was,
constituted an event Of such dlreful
consequence that the whole court
was in dismay.
But the young rotentate was not
hard to find. Though he was king,
he was a boy; and it is natural for a
bow. when he has some money IL his
pocket, to want to go out and
spend it.
That was exactly what the King OF
AMMAN had done. Entirely alone,
be had started on shopping" expe'
dition through the streets OF Hue.
Of course no one knew him. because
he had never shown his face In pub
lie. He was simply q boy, like any
other boy; and this was exactly what
be wanted
But he was treated with great re-
spcct by the shopkeepers, because he
seemed to have plenty Of money.
Curiously enough, the thing which
seemed to attract him most was
Notwithstanding machine, or hair-clip
per, and when the frightened mobiles
of the court discovered him at last
it was with this singular implement
In his possession. No doubt he in
tended to amuse himself by shearint
the heads of all his dependents.
In fact, he had already begun al
attempt to experiment with it on thu
heads of several small street boy1
who were proving rebellious subjects
when the courtiers approached him
prostrating themselves upon tn
ground and making alarmed outcries
Thanh-Tai was restored to th
palace, but the aged regents of tn
kingdom at once sent in their resg
