ALL SECTIONS FAVOR IT.

P. r. Beckley of Franklin said he be-
lieved the people in the southern part of
the county were almost unanimously in
favor of the bond proposition for the
building of good roads. At least they
would like to be given the opportunity to
express their views on the subject.
j. E. Butler, of the eastern portion of
the county, said that while the roads out
that way are not as bad as in other locali-
ties still the roads are bad enough and
ought TO be better. Supervisors Curtis
and Jenkins have done everything possi-
bic to improve the roads in their districts
with the means at their command, but
they have been handicapped.
The people IN his end of the county all
favor the calling of the election asked
for. They have learned that the issuance
of bonds will not increase the road tax,
while the county would have good roads
for all time.
Chairman Morrison and Supervisor
Curtis contended that it would still re-
ouire 25-cent road tax to keep in repair
the cross roads and short roads through
out the county.
Mr.. Irvine said that if the cost of re-
pairs should be removed from 156 miles
of macadamized roads, the tax should be
that much less, unless it should be
deemed desirable TO spend more money
on all roads, branches as well as trunk
lines.
Mr.. Woodson said that if the people de-
manded it there was no one to complain,
William Dixon of Cosumnes said the
people Of his section want the board to
call the election. and they want good
roads, too, no matter what they cost.

HIS ORDER.

The College Presidents Injunction Was a
Difficult One to Obey.
The speaker who has planned an ad-
dress for multitude, and finds himself
confronted with but a single auditor,
sometimes fails toreadjust his remarks.
and the result is apt to be ludicrous.
A little story illustrative of this point
is told in connection with former
president of the University of North
Carolina.
One day, as this dignified and stately
parsonage was walking about the cam
pus, he observed an unlawful assem-
blage of students at some little dis
tance. He did not hasten his steps, but
proceeded slowly toward them with his
head down and his eyes apparently
bent in contemplation of his own boots.
When this leisurely proceeding had
brought him to the spot where the
students had been gathered, only one
young man remained, the others having
prccipitately departed.
The president raised his head and
surveyed the solitary culprit with APP
parent severity, although the young
man always contended that he detected
a twinkle in his keen eyes.
Sir" said the president in a com
manding tone, Instantly disperse to
your several places OF abodeI'
Difficult though the feat required GER
tainly was, the young man executed it
to the best of his ability by ''dispers-
ing" without further delay

1t Means That Children Must Be Under
the Parental Roof at Nine O'Clock.
The curfew tolls the knell of parting
day sometimes at eight and sometimes
at nine o'clock in several of the towns
in this province, says the Toronto Mail
1t no longer means slights out, = but is
simply a summons to little boys and
girls TO take themselves off the street
20 the shelter of the domestic roof,
where their sphere of danger, of bad
company and of mischief will be mar
rowed. while fuller scope will be given
to their capacity for rest. The curfew
bell might be looked upon as piece of
Socialistic presumption on the part of
the municipality, as an encroachment
on the inalienable private right of the
head of the family to order the affairs
Of his own household. But the moral
sense of the town will wink at this ell
bowling aside of the parent by the mu-
nicipality. The parent who is jealous
of his prerogative as the ruler of his
children fails to exercise that preroga-
tive and delegates it to the town when
he allows them to be a public nuisance
and such worry to the public.
The police should not be called upon
to render service as nurses to truant
officers They should be left free to
keep adults out of mischief. There is
no more vexatious tantalizing duty
than that of keeping track of com
pany of mischievous boys. They are
likely to absorb the, attention of any
policeman who has them on his beat.
Consequently, older and worse offend
ers are given freer hand. Nor is
there anything that demoralizes a po-
iceman more thans that kind of serv-
ice. He is apt to lose his interest in
larger game, and sink into a spy on the
conduct of urchins, who will then
make it point to fill up his time with
larks. and escapades. The curfew
tends to take this strain off the police.

An old hunter said the other day that
when he first went up into Michigan
and Wisconsin where wild leeks
abound, he was surprised to find lying
at the side of his plate at the table a
piece of 1eek about three or four inches
long. He did not understand why it
was placed there until he tried the but
ter, which he found to be almost intol-
cradle from the taste of leelzs. He then
followed the example of the others and
ate the leelz, when he found the butter
instantly transferred into just as de-
licious butter as he ever tasted. The
leeks grow up through the snow, and
are the first green thing to be found in
the fields and along the streams, and
the cows eat them with relish; with
the resultthat the butter made from
their milk is strongly scented, and the
disagreeable taste can only be re-
moved by fighting it with its own
weapon, and so leeks- are provided for
each plate az

WOMEN STATION AGENTS,

They Are Common in Australia, and Earn
from Thirty to Sixty Cents Day
Il spent two months of last fall in
Australia said a traveller to a New
York Telegram man, 'sand saw some
very funny things, but. ut.nothing struck me
as more peculiar than the lady station
agents, who are now quite common in
some parts of the colony. To do the
ladies Justice, they appear to be per-
fectly competent to carry out the work
assigned to them, and they have way
of answering questions without resent
ing each one as an insult, which is
very refreshing. In-some of the small
stations woman is in sole control,
operates the telegraph herself, sells the
tickets. looks after what little freight ar
rivesand is shipped, exercises general su-
pervisicn over the train hands and sleeps
in little room either above or behind
her office. None of them seems to be
in the least disconnected or alarmed in
consequence of risks which they evil
IDENTIFY run, and, as far as the public
is concerned, the innovation is by no
means Objectionable. But just how
these ladies keep body and soul together
on the 1nunifcent stipend which varies
between thirty cents and sixty cents
per day is one of those mysteries the
solution of which is known only to the
ladies themselves and the soulless cor
porations which employ them"

Clippinc of Cold Cnins.

A century or more ago the clipping
of coins was carried on extensively in
England and elsewhere. Gold pieces
which had lost more or less of their
substance were common then and
passed current readily enough. But
statutory restrictions have rendered
this business comparatively unprofita-
BILE. However, it is still practiccd by
criminals of great experiences. Gold is
almost exclusively subjected to such
treatment. Some of the processes en-
ployed are remarkably ingenious.

OPEN TO ALI ASPHALT
Board of Works Will Not COnfine
Bids to the Trinidad Stuff.
Alabama Street Ordered Improved Over
RemOnstrances-NO Paving Between
TrackS-A Contractor Overpaid.

The Board of Works yesterday decided
to order the Improvement of Alabama
street with asphalt from Maryland street
to Fort Wayne avenue, and the city en-
gineer will draw up the specifications ac-
cording to a new form adopted by the
board yesterday. These specifications do
not confine the bids to Trinidad asphalt,
but allow contractors to bid on other as
phalts, provided they show that their as
phalt is as good or better than the Trini-
dad. In case a two-thirds remonstrance
is now presented against improving the
street with asphalt, the ouncil will con-
slider the Improvement resolution.
The width of the street will be fifty feet,
but the asphalt Is not to be laid between
the street-car tracks. This will make the
improvement cost about as much as that
on North Pennsylvania street, from Ohio
to st. Clair. or about S6.5S a lineal foot on
each side of the street.
The new Specifications read as follows in
that part referring to the quality of the
asphalt: The asphaltum to be used in
this improvement shall be the best quality
o. STANDARD Trinidad asphalt commonly
known as pitch lake asphalt, mined d.
rectly from Pitch lake in the Island of
Trinidad), or asphalt of a quality qua in
oil ItSDcttS VI super vi (iClCAO, dld Shoh
be specially refined and brought to a uni
form standard of quality in purity and
gravity, to be approved by the engineer
and the Board of Works"
The board also reserves the right to eX-
act, in addition to the deposit of bonds or
cash amounting in value to 20 cents for
every square yard of asphalt laid, a bond
with good security, and representing in
amount a sum equal to 40 per cent. of the
total cost of the Improvement. If in the
judgment of the board the asphalt requires
replacement before the guarantee expires,
the board will also have the right to fall
back on this bond. provided the company
does not repair the street to the satisfac-
ton of the board. The contractor is also
that he injuries in digging excavations.
1t is provided that six inches of concrete
shall be rammed down under the cross
ties of the .street-car tracks. Bidders must
also show that they have proper facilities
for doing the work required, besides the
proper experience, and before bids are sub
mitted samples of the material proposed
to be used must be submitted to the board.

DIR. JAMES JOHNsTON'S LECTURE.
He Exhibits a Number of African CuriOs
Collected.

DR.. James Johnston gave a lecture last
night at Plymouth Church. describing his
trip across Africa. In the beginning he
showed a large number of curios. There
was a basket made of grass. which would
hold water not only for a few hours, but
for weeks. a knife made of iron which
ard YET could be bent. How this is made
is a secret TO the natives. A Matabele
hatchet was shown, and the hoe used by
the women. A long peculiar pipe was put
together. Tobacco is not strong enough,
and so a narcotic is added by the natives.
The lnen sit in a circle and the pipe is
passed around for each one to smoke. The
smoke is not Immediately exhaled, but is
drawn into the lungs and held. After a
certain time the narcotic takes effect, and
then the native is happy and rolls on the
ground. A number of skins tanned and
valuable and were presented to DR.. john
ston as pay for his services as physician
to a number of the wives of a king.
d. Following the exhibition of the curioS
came a series of views of the people and
country taken by DIR. Johnston on his trip.
A map of Africa, showing the course taken
by the traveller was first exhibited, and
then came pictures of the country, people
in all sorts of places, a picture of the
Victoria Falls, which he measured and
found to be a thousand feet high. ruins
which are a mystery, as they contain YES
sells that are of Phoenician make, others
Arabic and others of yet different nations.
The place is hundreds of years old and no
one knows its history.
An escape which DR.. Johnston had when
lost from his men and after he had fallen
into an animal pit was described. He had
found a lake only to taste the strongest of
salt water.

ANOTHER LINCOLN MEMORIAL.
Geo. II. Thomas Post HOnors the Birth
of the Great American.

George II. Thomas Post held memorial
the G. A. II Hall, on Delaware street, last
night. Commander ID. r.. Lucas, of the
post, presided. Col. u. A. Smith read his
paper, Lincoln in the Present and in the
Future" His central Idea was that there
is no American character having the infiu-
Grafton. This influence would increase as
the time Of Lincoln would grow further
away. He recommended all young people
who are looking around for an example to
follow through life to accept that Of Lin
coin as the model one. w. c. David recited
a poem, "Recollections of Lincoln" in a
stirring manner. Lieut.. Harry Adams rem
dered his composition, THE Humor Of
Lincoln" 1t was a staid fact that Lincoln
great abundance of humor, yet that which
he possessed was of the refined order. His
humor generally crept out during the dark
est periods of the late war, when some one
would call and make complaint against
the plan of action of one of the leading
laid that no offense could be taken from it
by either party. His boyhood and early
manhood experiences had so affected his
bearing and apparently everyday nature
that he was often accused of being melan-
choly.
The meeting was then dissolved into a
general talk, in which many took part. 1t
was the opinion of many that Lincoln
could be safely called the greatest Of all
Americans, not excepting George Wash
ington. The services last night were the
first of a series that Will be held b. the
post in honoring the anniversary Of. the
birth of the leading generals and characters
of the late war.
