DISPOSITION OF NIGHT SOIL.
Estimated Cost of $4,000 n Year to
Properly Handle IL.

There was an informal consultation last
night between the Board of Public Works
and the Board Of Health concerning the
disposition of night soil at the Sellers farm.
IL was discovered that no member of the
Health Board was In favor of the disposal
of this offal by plants built for the pur-
pose. The objection was that the expense
would be far beyond the available re-
sources. DR.. carp said the cost is COM
puted to be between $4,000 and $4,000 a
year, and the city would probably have to
assume it. Mr.. Bachman, who has the
contract to remove this matter, says there
are seventy tons a day delivered TO the
farm, and that the plant built by the COM
pany desiring a contract for its consump-
ton can only dispose of ten tons a day.
1t would require. DR.. carp says. four or
five plants, costing So. 600 each, for the
proper handling of this effete matter. IT is
said that Bachman, who has the present
contract, is not observing the terms to the
letter, but is doing the best he can, and is

a plan of burying IT In trenches and cover

CHARACTERIZATION I'm .Faust, To-Dny
There has been much discussion of late
years as to the existence of the devil. Some
people proclaim their belief in a personal
devil. h others as smphatically deny
his very existence. Whichever side may be
taken in the controversy there can be no
doubt that all have a lurking dread of his
satanic majesty. The idea Of Satan has
been utilized in literature for ages. Some of
the grandest poems have had their founda-
tIon on this theme. The drama especially
has benefited by him and many plays owe
their existence to him. Perhaps no play
OF this nature has enjoyed greater popu-
larity than the adaptation Of Goethe's
masterpiece. Faust" No play affords any
