MARKET-STREET GRADES.
Sewer Commissioners Say the Hill
Should Come Down.

1t was reported at last nights meeting OF
the Market-street Improvement Club that
the Sewer Commissioners would recon-
mend the change of grades for Market
street as sanitary necessity.
The Board of Supervisors atten ton
will be directed to the matter, as the
Board of Engineers intend to have a lead
Ing sewer built on that thOrOughfare from
It's westerly terminus al Seventeenth
street 10 the city front. To do this a cut
OF forty-twO feet will have TO be made at
Dolores streer, and a tunnel will also be
necessary if the present grades should be
allowed 10 stand.
Attention was called to the intention of
the Spring Valley Water Company to
erect a 5000. 000-gallon reservoir on the
NIL above the Market-stree cut. This
was said would be done if the grades were
allowed to remain. 1t was declared that
such supply depot would be menace to
the surrounding property, as the reservoir
might give way at any time and flood the
neigh borhOOd.
John Z. Dalton was Endorsed for the pO-
sliI0n OF Fire Commissioner, and the Sec
retaTy was instructed TO transmit a copy
OF the resolutions of Endorsement to the
Board of Supervisors.

Treatment of Obesity.

In q medical article which was recent
" reprinted in these columns from the
European edition of The Herald, our for
eign medical correspondent communi-
Gated approvingly the treatment for re-
ducing flesh recommended by M. Dujar-
din-Beaumetz.
At this season of the year redundancy
of flesh interferes very much with COM
fort. The proposed method Of curtail-
ing surplus fat includes refraining from
drinking between meals and giving up
the use of tea, coffee, cognac and other
liquors, and requires the patient to take
plenty of exercise, to breakfast and dine
early and to make his dinner without
soup. Dry friction and massage every
morning, after general lotion with a
sponge dipped in hot water, and des-
sertspoonful of given solution Godide
of potassium, 10 grams; water, 100
grams) after each meal will complete the
regime.
This treatment, which prescribes only
two meals day, and that they shall be
very light and simple, seems rather he
roic, but ought to be efficacious. New

A story About Booth.

John Malone, the actor, who is also

ing of Edwin Booth in The Forum. ellis
instructive shrinking from anything like
self praise, says he, 'impelled him often
to ascribe to accident the adoption of
some felicitous detail of illustrative ac-
ton or variation of reading. Once
while we were rehearsing Hamlet he
told me how he came to adopt the ac-
ton of swearing Horatio and Marcellus
upon the cross of his sword.
zone night, he said, while kneeling dur
ing the ghosts speech with his hands
pressing rather heavily upon the sword
hilt, the point sank into the stage so that
when he fell prone ut the exit of the
ghost the sword remained standing.
When he came to cline, Never make
known what you have seen tonight, he
turned TO recover the sword. Seeing IL
standing with the light shining upon the
cross, the words, I'll cross it though 1t
blast me- came into his mind, and he
grasped it by the blade and held out the
cross for his companions TO swear on.
Thenceforward he adopted that action.
II was this alertness of mind that dis
tinguished him, where another actor,
content with tradition and welded to
old ways, would have seized it by the
hilt as usual"

each guest on arrival was supplied with
a comfortable chair and pillow, "all was

musical programme followed the period
ofsomnolence, refreshments were served,

bargains In New Testam ents.

It has been often stated that the re-
vised version of the Scriptures has been
failure so far as sale is concerned. But
this, observes the Westminster Gazette,
is not quite accurate. For the Revised
New Testament, the sale of which on its
first appearance was phenomenal, there
is now practically no demand, and the
Oxford University Press is Offering pri-
vately for charitable distribution its sur
plus stock at very low rates. For in
stance, if 500 copies are taken, the six.
penny edition can be had for q penny,
the shilling edition for twopence and
the 1S penny edition for threepence each
copy. But this only applies to the New
Testament. The sale of the revised ver-
sion of the Bible, containing the Old and
New Testament, is now large and has
always been SO.

right in his ideas excepting in two re-
spects, one of which was that white
lump was not made from glucose and
the other that glucose was a product Of
corn and not of animal refuse. He
seemed rather to resent the information
at first, and as he proceeded to destroy
the flavor of his coffee by the use Of
some very dark sugar which was little
more or less than glucose itself he told

The New Cruiser Proves Fast anu MAKES q
Record of 1894 Knots.
NEW LONDON, Conn. Dec S.-Anothe
triumph for Yankee shipbuilders and de
signers was scored on Long Island sound
when the new cruiser Marblehead crossed
the finish line on her official trial trip. The
new cruiser had equaled all expectations
by making n record of 1894 knots an hour
and made n snug fortune for her builders
The starting point was off Plum island,
about 10 miles from New London. The
last six miles were made in 16 minutes IS
seconds at an average speed of 2l.66 knots
an hour-the fastest time the vessel has
ever made and nearly five knots faster than
required.
The naval board then experimental with
her steering gear for a short time the time
limit of the trial being up, and tried her
ability to change her course quickly. Dur
ing these experiments the brackets hold
ing the steering drum were broken, and
the steam steering gear was disabled. She
proceeded to New London, guided by the
twin screws, and while the builders, cap
tain and engineers were receiving the CON
CALCULATIONS of all aboard she dropped an
Choir off Fort Trumbull In the last half
of the course 81 miles had been made in
hour and 50 minutes approximately, and
the half had been run at the rate of 1897
knots an hour The - miles had been GOV
cred in hours and minutes at an aver
/ age rate of speed of 1894 knots an hour.
! The contract for the vessel called for a
| speed Of Il knots an hour. For every quar-
ter knot over this the builders receive S2S,
CO., and for every quarter knot below II
they would forfeit S2500a. BY the record
made il is estimated that the Marbleheac

ALL EUROPE ARMING.
England Is Alarmed at the Hostile Att
tude of Russia

LONDON, Dec s - The important dis

Russian government had declared it i'm
perative that the kilia arm of the Danube
should be made navigable, the object of
which demand was to secure the exemp-
ton of the kilia branch from the control
Of the Danube commission, has served to
Ettracu renewed attention to the serious
situation of affairs in Europe-a situation
which would need only spark to kindle
the flame
That the various countries are fully alive
to the difficulties ahead of them there can
be no doubt, and numerous incidents have
come to light within the past few days
which indicate that all the powers are
making preparations to meet any emeT
gency, whatever its proportions may he.
In connection with these recent develop
ments the statement made that five new
battleships, "A first class cruiser and a num-
Der of smaller vessels have been ordered to
augment the British navy is not without
significance.
The Globe. commenting on the Vienna
dispatch, asks if we are on the eve of re
yival of the state of things produced b.; the
Crimcan war. 1t says that Russia's de
mand that the kilia mouth of the Danube
be made navigable is the most alarming of
the ugly indications of trouble which have
been SO numerous of late. Reference is also
made in The Globes article to the hostile
attitude of Russia toward India and TO
England's unprepared condition for war.
