The finance committee of the Council met
last night and decided to recommend the
passage of the ordinance appropriating ST.

against the city on account of errors in the
assessments for street and sewer improve
ments. The liquor license ordinance was
considered. but no action was taken Irwin

They say they have wintered here and,
during the winter, have paid out over &c.

money they claim, has gone directly into
the pockets OF the working people. and on
that account they think they are justified
in asking that they be charged no license

The members of the committee do not like
to establish such a precedent, and the prob

The great Kentucky 4-year-old carrying 113 pounds, easily de feated Yo Tambien, 119, and Lamplighter, IF, at Hawthorne park, Chicago, last year, covering the mile and a quarter in 2:09&, and there is a general opinion that Cliff ford at 122 pounds has the big Handicap at his mercy this year. He is in greater form than ever and will without doubt go to the post hot favorite. In the seven years of its history, however, the Brooklyn has been captured but once by the favorite Tenny was tipped by his owner Dave Pulsifer, as being dead lame'' just before the race in 1891, but the little "swayback" managed to hobble home first, carrying 12S pounds, the heaviest weight ever borne by win ner in the Handicap, and landing a pot of money at to for his numerous packers.
 The best time ever made was in the first Brooklyn in 1887, when Dry Monopole, car rying 106 pounds, romped home first in 207, with Blue Wing, the favorite, close sec ond. The Bard carried 125 pounds in 1888, and Hanover, the favorite, was second. When Exile, 11G pounds, won in lSS9 Prince Royal, another favorite, was second. The following year Castaway, 100 pounds, won at odds of 20 to 1. and Los Angeles, the ia vorite, did nor get a place. The worst up set occurred in 1892, when Judge Morrow captured the big event ;!t | to l, and Long street, the favorite, Was twelfth and last horse home.
 Next to Clifford, Ianlp!!ghler, Sir W alter and Don AlODIo are second choice at to l, and Ajax, Banquet, sport and St Leon ards come next ct odds ranging from l3 to 15 to l.

The great western racing mare No Tam bien salso q pronounc- ed favorite despite the facts that mares rarely get into good form so early in the season and that of the few mares which have run in the Brook lyn not one even secured a place.

 Among the other favored ones are Ban quet.

 ''Stop that, Hawkins. I am immense ly obliged to you for the initial sugges tion, but please remember that while 1 you on business I prefer to escape discus sion of my personal affairs. y
 Hawkins gave an angry whistle and said roughly:
 Sec here, Mir. Royal Cleve, it's quite too late for you to take that tone with me Remember we have drawn and signed \ few papers, papers that would be awkward reading for a young lady I could name. You went into this on busi ness. Now you want to shift to senti- ment. Very good, but you'd better keep a civil tongue. By turning my hand over can put lion in your path-another lover-beside whom you would have as much chance of winning this Overton girl as have of going straight to heaven just as I stand. I meant no harm, no disrespcct to you, to her. I am as anx ious nearly as yourself that you shall marry her, but won't get ill tho dust and take kicks and cuffs at your pleas ure to bring it about. The sooner you understand that failure or success for you rests wholly in my hands the better it will be for both of us. "
 Royal Cleve swore a great oath under his breath. Aloud he said, half mock ingly:
 ''Is it so, my good Hawkins? Now listen to mo. hope you are my faithful ally. Certainly will do all that can have said, but recken surely on one thing. This girl, Dare Overton, shall be my wife ill spite of everything
 Through the bright moonlight Flaw kins smiled sourly, saying, half to him. self:

 Senator Jarvis succeeded Senator Vance also in the governorship of North Carolina. He was lieutenant governor when Vance resigned the governorship to go to the senate ill 1879, and so ob- tained the gubernatorial chair, which he afterward held by election till 1884. After his retirement from the governor ship the legislature unanimously recom- mended him to President Cleveland for a cabinet appointment, but the president gave him instead the post of minister to Brazil
 Senator Jarvis was born in Currituck county, N. C., in January, 1886. His father was Methodist minister of more character and ability than worldly wealth, and the son had hard scratching for collegiate education, but by doing farm work and teaching school finally managed to get through Randolph Ma con college, graduating ill 1860. He en- tered the Confederate service at the be- ginning of the war as a private and was promoted to O captaincy. He had his right arm shattered by bullet at Dru- y's Bluff in 1864 and has ever since carried it, helpless, in sling.
 When the war was over, MT. Jarvis kept store for couple of years, study ing law in the meantime. He was ad- mitted to the bar in 1868 and was cho- sen a presidential elector on the Sey- mour ticket and a member of the legis- lature that same year. He was speaker of the house in 1870, presidential elect- or again in 1879, a member of the con- stitutional convention in 1875 and lieu tenant governor in 1876.

CHAPTER XV.

As the hall clock struck 10 that night Hawkins, who stood hat and whip in hand. ready tc make his adieu, said low to his hostess:

 Heaven send it to be mutual, '" Mrs. Townley said, with the faintest possible inclination of her head toward the rooms farther side, where Royal Cleve still bent upon Dare that burning re- gart You had better take him away" " she went on "fI am afraid he will frighten her. By the way, what did he ssy to your scheme before he saw her?'
 Took it first as an American joke, " Hawkins said. But 1 had got pretty well the length of his foot and knew how to convince him that there were millions in 1t for all of Us. ''
 Mrs. Towuley dartod at him n keen suspicious glance
 You told me this man Cleve was very, very rich, " she said. If that is the CaSc"- \ look finished the sentence so that Hawkins made haste to declare:
 He is rich, Mrs Townley, rich enough to want very badly to be richer. You see, his father is big iron master over there. There are just two sons, this boy and another, and their ambition is to become iron kings That's why they are looking for investments here.
 This one is handsome and we'll bred, but looks disSipated. That don't like, " Mrs. Townley said conservatively.
 Hawkins smiled a grim smile.
 No doubt he has gone the pace, he said, but that only makes him the readier to settle down. Clearly he thinks so. The girl is charming, and he has got it worse about her than even"-
 Whom" asked Mrs. Townley as he stopped short. Hawkins did not answer. He was lost in rage at the memory of Allen Fauntleroy, of delight in the thought of how well his wrong at that young mans hand was likely to be avenged. Hawkins knew, what was as yet secret that Allen, while apparent ly accepting Major Overton's refusal, had SO arranged affairs that the old mans death would make Dare sole owrCr of the property ill dispute.

and would have done so had h been given fair treatment, but about every jockey in the contest managed to knock him about or crowd him out of his place, and the result was that the gallant thoroughbred finished second to Diablo, a cripple and eX selling platter. It was very evident that most of the jockeys were in the race solely to de- feat the favorite, and as Lamplighter's downfall enriched the bookmakers no great intelligence is needed to imagine why he was knocked about like an equine football The price against Diablo ranged from 60 to 20 to 1, but Lamplighter carried the peo- ple's cash

Twenty Mile. n Dav bv Elevator.

An elevator boy in the Monadnock building in Chicago rides from 90 to 25 miles 8 day in his car. It is about 225 feet from the ground to the sixteenth floor, and a car makes from 275 to 800 round trips day, according to the rush. Several young men have collected some interesting statistics on the skyward travel in that building. They find that on busy days each car hauls about 4, 900 persons up and down. There are 16 ele- vators in Monadnock building, which would indicate that 64, 900 persons vis- ited the building every day.

He had proposed to her in an extreme iy florid and luxuriant, not to say trop- ical and soulful, manner and she had received it with laughter and merry gibes.
 Naturally this course of treatment didn't improve his temper.
 "What do you take me for anyhow?" he asked, furiously indignant.
 Again that provoking laugh.
 ''I don't take you for anything" " she replied. 1T reject you utterly. Good evening, sir" And she left him to his meditations- Free Press.

The Coghlans Reconciled,

reconciliation between Rose and Charles Coghlan is now assured. They will soon appear in the same cast at Hoyt 6 Nc Kee's Madison Square theater in New York in "The Checkbook." The play was pro duced in Washington two years ago, but was soon abandoned, as it was faulty. Charles Coghlan has rewritten it in part and will produce it again with his sister. The reconciliation will cause surprise, as it has been supposed generally that the quar- rel between the brother and sister, arising from Charles Coghlan's matrimonial esca- pades, was too deep seated to be soon bridged over.

strange to me that for wool, grown from
the same breeding as the Ohio sheep,

should receive only about half what the

Scarcely a week passes in any year
that human lives are not jeopardized by
horses taking fright and running away.
The man who can devise some means
which will surely prevent this will be
a great public benefactor. Some one
who processes to know states that runa-
way accidents seldom occur in Russia.
The means used in preventing them is
very simple.
1t is asserted that in Russia horse
that is addicted to the habit of running
away has thin cord with "a running
moose around his neck at the neck strap,
and the end is tied to the dashboard.
AT Rome, says this informant, 81
saw in the Corso a phaeton with two
spirited horses bolt. They We're driven
by lady, and l expected to see instant
destruction. But the lady coolly grasped
a thin cord, and within 30 yards the
horses came to a full stop. | afterward
met the lady at Nice and expressed sur
prise at the skill with which she stop
ped the runaways.
"She treated it as trifie and told
me accidents from runaway horses are
unknown in Russia, as no one but a luna
tic would drive without the cord. When
a horse bolts, he always takes the bit in
his teeth, and the skill of the driver is
useless. The moment the pressure comes
on the windpipe the horse knows he has
met his master. Exchange.
