Executive must use its discretion as
10 minor sppointees, but it might
consult the Council regarding the
filling of important positions.
Mr.. Bolte moved 10 amend the res
olution, changing somewhat the
reading of the third paragraph.
Mr.. Emmeluth said that was a
mere trsnsposition of words. The
idea of the resolution was that heads
Of bureaus should be consulted in the
selection of subordipstes in the
bureaus. He did not favor any in
reference by the Council in The at
fairs of the executive.
Attorney General Smith Thought
that the original resolution should
be adhered TO, as the head of the
bureau, and not the head of the de-
psrtment appointed his subordinates.
The amendment was lost and the
resolution was adopted.

An Act giving the Board Of Health
control of the Insane Asylum.
Mr.. Brown moved the bill be indie
initely postponed. The change
would not improve the Insane Asy-
lum in any respect. Boards of
Health did not have this control else
where. The Board had enough to
do, and the asylum had better stay
where it is.
The Attorney General said the
Insane Asylum would still be in the
Interior Department because the
Board of Health wss in that depart.
ment, but this transfer simply placed
the asylum under its proper branch,
1t should be under the supervision
and control of medical men.
Mr.. Damon said this bill would
bring the ssylum's expenditure IN
der better supervision. he would
have TO bring in g bill next week ask
ing for more money for the asylum.
Mr.. Brown thought that the In
sane Asylum had nothing 20 90 with

The motion to indefinitely post

The motion to pass the bill was

one Kind OF Yachting.

There is a man in New York who
owns steam yacht on which there
is not even an easy chair, though the
yacht is upward of 60 feet long and
cost nearly as much as a substantial
house in Harlem. Whenever the
owner goes out on his yacht-he and
the members of the crew wrap them
selves up in rubber coats, pull their
caps down over their eyes, crouch
down in the stern Of the boat and
throw the throttle wide open.
Then the yacht bounds forward at
the rate of 20 miles or more an hour,
while the water is thrown up in a
solid bank on either side of her, SO
that the men crouching in the stern
see nothing but these banks of water.
The whole boat is drenched with
spray. They are thoroughly uncom-
Portable, but they know that the peo-
pie on the ferryboats and the clam
sloops are looking at them with keen
envy, and probably this is a source
of delight.
These racing yachts are so delicate
ly constructed that they require as
much care as thoroughbred horses.
Despite the size of this boat she is
housed SO that when she has finished
her seasons racing she is entirely I'M
der cover. Her mahogany surface is
freshly polished every day. She is
splendid type of racing machine, but
she has no drink, food, nor comfort
of any kind aboard, and illustrates
the extreme development of steam
yacht racing at this end of the centu-
ry.-New York Sun
