lin county hills, in the little village of
Charlemont, where her childhood was
passed. She is the idol of the town and
deservedly so. for it owes several of its
prominent advantages to her devotion

labored enthusiastically to provide the

Premiums For speed.

A tidy little sum has been paid out by
the government tina premiums to the
builders Of naval vessels during the pres
ent year. BY exceeding the speed re-
quired the Bancroft netted her contract
ors $4,000; the Detroit, $150,000; the
New York. 100000, and the Machias,
s45, 900, total of $4,000. This amount
is likely to be increased. The money
may be regarded as well invested if it
does no more than call attention to the
high standard of excellence attain
able by American shipbuilders.- s.-Bos-

bicycles Not Available For War.

The use of the bicycle for military
purposes, after having developed with
great rapidity in France, has suddenly
received o check. General Loizillon,
the minister Of war, has, it tappears, little
faith in it. He has issued an order that
the cyclist corps are only to be used on
prepared ground.
In time Of war, he snys, their use,
even if no account is taken of the liabili-
ty of the machines to break, is likely to
cause serious miscalcul3tlons, and they
can only rarely be substituted for men
on horseback. The cyclists henceforth,
therefore, or until some successor to
General Loizillon more favorable to
them is appointed, will be reserved, by
his instructions, for garrison duty, for
the great maneuvers and in time of war
for certain easy communications at the
rear of the forces.-London News.

Word Of warming.

This is the time of year when cold
creams are lavishly recommended for
the complexion tampered with by wind
and sun. A note of warning must be
sounded to those who are inclined to fol-
low this freely given advice. While the
emollient is all that it is said to be in the
way Of softening and healing the skin, it
is likewise sadly productive of fine
fuzzy growth of hair upon the face ad-
dicted to its use. No such ointment has
been patented, so far as known, which is
perfectly safe on this account to use
daily on the complexion.-New York

THE BOARD OF WORKS.
Protest Against the West Michigan
street Brick PaVemenf.


There was a strong protest at the Board
of Works meeting yesterday morning
against the acceptance of the new brick
pavement on Michigan street, between Mis-
souri, and Blake. +. c. Whitcomb, Henry
Russo and NJ. f. Connett appeared as a
committee, claiming that the broken stone
foundation was not proper one and thar
it was no better than broken stone and
sand. Further they urged that the bricks
were Clipped and not up to the standard
OF the samples filed with the board that
the Clipped edges were turned down and
that the interstices were not filled with
tar. The board promised the committee to
take no further action toward accepting
the Improvement until the city engineer
examines the work. The committee said
that If the work was accepted by the board
the citizens would carry the matter into
the courts.
The new brick Improvement on South
West street. from Kentucky avenue TO
Morris street, was accepted. The total cost
of the Improvement IS 39,2&.54 If the
troller within thirty days that they desire
to take advantage of the Barrett law
they will have to pay cash.
Robert Remington. the contractor on the
MadisOn-avenue Improvement, was notified
several times 20 repair the street according
TO his contract. He did not appear before
the board, stating that as soon as Mr.. Con-
duitt retired he would show up. The board
did not like this manner OF doing business.
and KenningtOn's bondSmen were notified
that the street would have TO be put in Or
der or suit would be brought at once.

TWO MORE SEWERS.
Board of Works Adopt Resolutions
The Water-WOrI<s Question

Nater-N OrkS question
The Board of Works. at its meeting last
night, adopted resolutions for the construc-
ton of two more sewers. One of these is
the main outlet from the foot of Kentucky
avenue to a point below the Belt railroad.
The outlet will be over 1900 feet long, and
about six feet in diameter. The construc-
ton of this sewer will give a large number
of men employment. but it will be over
month before the contract can be let The
other sewer to be constructed is to be in
McCarty street, from East street to Vir-
ginia avenue. 1t will be several feet in di-
ameter. The city engineer was ordered to
change q resolution so as to provide for a
drain instead of a sewer in Lincoln lane
The cost of the main outlet will be as
sessed against the entire city.
The street-sweeping problem came up for
discussion, and after that the members fell
TO talking about tie city's water-works sys-
tenn and the advisability and feasibility of
the city owning the plant The city now
pays $4,000 a year to the water copmany
for service. a sum which is more than s
per cent on $S0O,0O0. The city has been or
dering new mains at the rate of forty thou
sand feet a year, and the bill for water is
thereby increasing steadily. All the MEM
bers thought it would be greatly to the
citys advantage TO own the system. If the
system was under municipal ownership the
water rates could be reduced and, at the
same time. the city would receive an enor-
nous revenue from private consumers
There is a provision in the water COM
pany's charter whereby the city can buy
the plant at any time, the city to appoint
one appraiser, the water company TO ap-
point another and these two 10 select a
third. Mr.. Conduit thought the rates
charged by the company were excessive in
particulars, although the company claims
its rates are lower than those charged in
any other city the size of Indianapolis
Street improvements were also discussed
in an informal way. Mr. Widlman thought

roads that enter the city ought to be i'm

\ petition for a fire cistern on Lloyd
street between Parker and Pawpaw, was
referred to the Board of Safety. The board
ordered papers prepared for the paving

street. from St. Clair 10 Clifford avenue.
An electric light was ordered placed at
New York and Liberty streets.
In the afternoon the board considered the
petition of a number of property owners

paid the damages. a letter was written the
controller asking if there was any money
on hand for paying these damages. Then

Runaway.

Michael Lenker, a young married man
employed as shipping clerk by the Lieber

fatal. He was driving on South street, near

was dragged over the dashboard TO the
ground. This frightened the horse, and he
started at rapid pace. Lenker continued
his grasp on the reins, anC was dragged sew
eral blocks before the hors> stopped. When
picked up the injured man did not show ap
parent injuries but was shortly taken with
violent delirium, from which he is yet suf-
fering. He was taken to his home, at No.
Sg South Delaware street, where DR.. Bueh-
Ter found him in a critical condition. The
physician discovered concussion Of the
