turned into The newly built sewer. which in
turn carries it on. where it is allowed to
flew into neighboring property and Oh the
public streets.
Repeated requests have been made to the
Board of Health and the Supervisors for
relief. but owing 10 the objections of n few
large nonresident landowners prote SITS

know how much longer the nuisance is to
continue. and are bitter in their denuncia-
ton of the few who prevent the needed i'm
provement.

Tumble Fight.
NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 17.-Joe Goddard,
the pugilist. who is training at Biloxi,
Miss, had a very narrow escape from
death Wednesday and received q wound
that may interfere seriously with his pro-
posed fight with Smith. The wound was
received in an impromptu battle with
Alexander. the trainer of George Dawson.
who is also at Biloxi training for fight
with Tommy Ryan.
A dispute took place between Dawson
and his trainer, resulting in fight. God
dard interfered and Alexander struck him
with Q pitcher. Goddard threw Alexander
to the floor, breaking the pitcher and fall
ing on its edge. When an examination
of the wound was made it was found that
the lugular vein was almost grazed. The
wound is not considered a serious one,
though it may be some time before il heals.
and in that case will cause post ponement
of Goddard's fight with Ed Smith.

Gibraltar and Spain.

1t may be objected that, although Glib
raltar might be useless to Us as against
Spain, it would still, in wartime. DC use-
full to us as against any other power. 1t
certainly might be useful to very mod
flied extent. 1t is nevertheless a matter
of notoriety that Spain ar1tently desires
to regain possession of the fortress, and
it is scarcely conceivable that, unless we
were actually fighting for the protection
of Spanish interests, Spain would remain
rigidly neutral while another power was
attempting to expel us from the rock.
In order to secure the more or less &C
tive cooperation of Spain the other pow
er would merely have to give some Sc
cret pledge that, having once gained
possession of Gibraltar, she would hand
it over without charge to its ancient
owners. France, there is no doubt,
would, with things standing as they do
at present, be very glad to see Spain
take our place there, and though Italy
might not like it she would not spend a
single centesimo to prevent it.-fOrt-

The Postal Savings bank since January
/, 1892, has been a continual menace
to the public treasury and anything
but what il was intended 10 be.
Respectfully submitted,
THEo. c. PORTER,
Min. of Finance.
Vice president Damon moved the
acceptance of the report. He thanked
the minister for it. 1t would prove
satisfactory to the entire community,
as all had more or less connection
with the institution. This report
would stimulate confidence IN the
bank and government. 1t showed
that a crisis had been safely passed
through and the bank had been able
to meet a years severe run upon its
reserves. He thought great praise
was due Mr.. Hill, the late postmaster
general. The report proved that
confidence had increased. among the
small depositors as we'll as among
residents generally, under the Pro
visional government.
The motion carried with the addl-
ton that the report be published ID
the newspapers.
Bill to pay balance of special cleo
ton expenses passed TO final reading;
Bill to regulate the printing and
publishing of newspapers or prints
of like nature, after six amendments
were made, was passed, to take effect

Code, relating to insurrection or riot,

WAY r4E INTERVIEWER c%isTa
A Few Reasons to Account for the Pop


A Pew Reasons to Account for the fopu-
larity of One Form of Journalism.
Why do persons of notoriety adui;
the domestic interviewer? Probably
number of reasons may be assigned
The most respectable is indolent good
nature; il is easier to say yes than
mo to have the tiles IL your fireplace
described as Persian. and, al the same
time, as the work of an Englishman,
than TO keep you- drawing room for
your acquaintance. This Is the falrest
plea for permitting your person and
furniture TO be exhibited 10 the subur-
ban citizen who, honest man, prob
ably never heard OF you and cares very
little about you.
Again the patient may really like be-
ing talked about in public-may ENJOY
the idea of permitting all the world TO
know, as Mr.. Allen says, curious little
details which might be left TO your con-
science, your cook and the commission
ers of inland revenue" 1t Is an ODD
taste. but it is possible that 1.-The animals
enjoy it" The interviewed may pre-
tend to complain, but may really re-
ioice The public does not mind Ii, the
patient is pleased, the interviewer earns
his fee in the way he has been inspired
to choose.
All this may be admitted, but the plea
of necessity cannot be admitted. Again,
probably many of the patients think an
interview" good advertisement. They
are brought before the public notice;
therefore the public will read their books
or buy their pictures. This is a sad mis-
take The public which reads interviews
knows nothing about the interviewed
author and his works. cares nothing
about them nor about anything oi the
sort. Here is gossip about somebody
whose name l have seen in the papers.
| says the reader, SO he reads the GOSSIP
but there his interest ends.
The theory of advertisement, OF profit
to accrue from little more Of personal
notoriety, is blunder. The public OF
| this kind cares to know that an author
sauints, weighs Il stone 10 or has a
| broken nose, or uses a thick handled
pen; but as to what he writes with that
pen this kind of public is serenely in
| different. Where, then is the necessity
| for admitting the interviewer: Neces-
| sity there is none, but Incidence, vanity,
| love Of notoriety, are likely to keep the
author of interviews III full employ
! uent.
Mr.. Blathwayt has added to his vol
ume defense of his art. in which he
says practically that ''Zenophon" IL
