cipal officers.
A City Hall will Doubtless be Erected
in Pullman.

The new city council held its first reg
ular meeting last Tuesday evening, tine
most important work before it b, ing the
appointment of municipal ollieialR.
There were numerous applications for
the different positions, and the clerkshlp
was first considered. c. M. S.earns was
placed in nomination, and was elected
on the first ballot. A. W. Curtisa was
also an applicant for the place, For

were in the field. Mr.. Lanning was
made marshal on the fist ballot. The
deputy marshalship, or position of night
watch, was sought after by Fred Bow
man and w. p Murray, aud the first
ballot made Murray the wearer Of the
star. Dan Burnt ard Geo Gabber. were
placed in nomin ton for street commits
sioner and the y, e resulted in q tie,
but the mayor cast the deciding ballot
that put Gabbert in Office, Y. f. Bull
was unanimously elected cIty attorney.
The salaries of the different officers
are SIS per month for marshal, deputy
marshal and street commissioner; $50
per month for clerk, and $50 per month
for attorney. The latter will also re-
ceive commission on different work
The street commissioner ls also made
collector of water rents. The appoint
ments are all good ones, and will doubt
less give satisfaction,
The council also took up the matter
of erecting brick pump house and city
hall. Various plans were discussed, and
the entire board was in favor of having
a building of the kind put up in place
of the present one. Architect Swan was
ordered to prepare plans of a suitable
building formulated on the ideas pre-
sented by the councilmen. The com
mittee appointed at theprevious meeting
to inspect the pump house and lnvesti-
gate the locating OF the boilers eported,
aud on the strength of the report, the
two boilers we're ordered placed in pn-
sition suitable to the new building.
Engineer Griffin was given the contract
for resetting the old boiler at $500.
SWANS plans for the new city hall
will be presented to the council to day,
and it is to be hoped that the city dads
will go ahead with the matter, and will
have the building erected. " 1t is econ
omy to put up the house, rs the HERALD
shrwed last week, and every person
spoken to iavors the project. The plans
prepared by the architect, provide for a
two-story building, having Il sixty
frontage on Oeson street. The first
floor will contain the engines and pumps;
room for fire department apparatus, and
coal bins, and the second floor will con
tain council chamber 24x30 feet in
size. and offices for the different officials.
The building will be surmounted by Il
tower 50 feet high, which will contain
the fire bell. 1t is a well arranged plan
and the council cannot do better than
to adopt it and have the building pre-
ceeded with.

journals.
Some Of them in supplements gave re-
prints of sensational pictures of her
trial and copies, tinted and in black
and white, of her portraits. The mem
oirs of Earon NJ. Ihiedbaud, the friend
of Frederick the Great, which has just
come out, contain a description of her
as she walked from the chapel royale
ct Versailles to her private apart
ments.
It does not accord with the idea gen.
orally entertained of her sumptuary
elegance. She was, the baron says,
dressed in white percale, or kind of
thin cotton. 1t was so soiled and
shabby that he would have taken her
for an under servant, had she not
walked at some distance before bevy
of splendidly dressed ladies. Her
whole appearance denoted careless
ness.
When the baron men toned his sur
prise to some gentlemen of the court
they shocked him by the things they
said about her want of neatness and
incapacity to feel what she owed to her
position.
Indeed, whenever people about
court spoke of the king or queen to the
baron it was in a tone of sneering
levity. not to say Of ribaldry. In the
Arneth correspondence Maria Theresa
frequently chides Marie Antoinette for
her untidy habits, thus corroborating
Baron Thiebaud's impressions.

OF INTEREST TO ATHLETES.

James Robinson, the athletic trainer at
Princeton College, Princeton, n. j., says:
I have found it Imperative to have sure
and simple remedies on hand in case of
cuts, bruises, strains, sprains, colds, rheum-
atism, etc. Shortly alter entering upon

PLASTERS give almost instantaneous re-

plasters on the small of the back and in

HE was a young man and fairly
good looking; smooth face and without
glasses; wore dark suit; was about
five feet in height, and looked like a
married man: anybody would know
him" Such was the description turned
in by a young woman who slipped
quietly into the city editors Office and
wanted to advertise for Chalmers, says
the Boston Herald 1t appeared that
Chalmers had left home, and nobody
knew why, and this young woman had
faith that her recital of his personal
traits would bring him back. It was
a good example of the average per-
sons power of description of fellow
being.
1t is totally inadequate! Though man
be fearfully and wonderfully made,
there seems 20 be an unaccountable in
ability in nine persons out Of every ten
to give a creditable word picture Of
anyone whom they have seen. Because
we understand the looks of a person
when we meet him it never occurs to
the mind that other people do not
grasp thorough idea of his appear
ance with few passing phrases Of de-
scription.
Your friend comes in, and you cx-
pound to him that such and such man
has just called for him, but almost in
variably your exposition is jumbled
lot Of used phrases which apply to the
human race in general.
The other day when rushed into my
Office room with column story on the
end of my tongue-or at least at the
tip OF my pen, to be more accurate-I
was given this greeting:
Hello! A man has just been In to
see you.''
What did he look like?''
''Oh. he was good-looking fellow;
not very tall; rather heavy, but not too
much So"
"Was he old or young?"
about twenty or twenty-five, /
should say"
What color of hair?'
81 don't remember now. However,
Idon't think he had mustache."
''How dressed?'
''Oh, just an ordinary business suit. :"
Have you ever heard such a descrip-
tion2 If not, watch yourself next time
you tell of some ones call. You will
be surprised to find that your descrip-
tion would fit almost any member of
the human race.
Why is it?
l don't know. We read in books that
it's because we don't cultivate the hab-
it of intelligent observation.
There was once boy who learned
how to describe what he saw. Every
morning he was sent by his father to
walk rapidly by an elegantly arranged
Windows and then afterward to repeatto
him all the things he saw atthis one
glance at the panorama and todescribe
them. At first the lad could refnem Der
bat few thingsdhat his eye may have
caught in the passing glance, but in
time he could remember almost every
thing in a show window by merely
glancing at it once.
