priation to the hospital was voted back, being urged by many pr2mipent ladies and gentlemen of the city. I voted for this.
 The sanitary inspector was reiustated and other objects of retrenchment were re- lieYed.
 Finally all that was left of the original resolution of retT enchment was the slightly shortened salaries of some five or six Of the city officials. l could see no justice in such piece of partisan work, and introduced the resolution of my own accord to put those hack on their old salaries. When the salaries of the superintendent of educa- tion and of the principals were not reduced l could not see how we could ask any city official to submit to reduction. The ''oaek salary sgrRb' 80 loudly talked about amounts to something less than 5000. No officer was reinstated with back bay. Only those officers in the employ of the city and whose salaries had been re- duced were given their regular salaries.
 Again, there was question, as MT. Lane explained in the matter of the schools, whether the city employees and officials who were elected to certain office at cer- tain salary for given time did not have good claim against tue city. l think Bir- mingham has had enough court experience. This is the whole story, and the leading citizens of the city tell me my position was correct. l am not trying to enlighten those who are not honestly seeking the truth or those who are unable to discern the truth when they see it..
 simply desired to make this state m ent, and to once for all set at rest the calamity howlers who are always finding other peo- ple's business more attractive than thoir own.
 have argued for an equitable and just reduction for some time, and will say that the city cannot run on the present revenues without rigid economy and large reduc- tions in expenses. Very respectfully,

UNITED STATES ooMMIssIoNERs' COURT. E Commissioner Wilson discharged James Fnlton yesterday.

 The case of o. H. Robertson, for carry ing concealed weapons, was continued. THE REINSTATEMENT OF CITY SAIL
 ARIES.
 To the Age Herald: understand that certain individuals in Birmingham, endeavoring to gain smiles from the bolters from the city democratic ticket, are busily engaged in circulating false statements concerning the reso ution introduced at the last session oI the city council reinstating certain city officials.
 For the benefit of those who are not ac. uuainted with the truth of the mater l will briefly review the case since August 15. when the first resolution was passed by the council making certain reductions. That resolution was prepared without the knowledge of the inside "why and where fores'' being given to the body of the board. These matters came out subse-' quently.
 That resolution made cut without re- gard of position, salary paid or services re- quired.
 suggested that all departments of the city government should be cut alike and that a few should not be expected to bear the whole burden. At the next meeting 1 introduced the resolution cutting S12, ,O00 from the school budget, which could have been easily accomplished and the public schools preserved as they are today. The teachers 9sed~aot have been reduced a dollar>-1nis did not suit certain overfed ln yiduals and an attack was made upon She resolution two weeks after it's passage. The BIZ, 1000 was voted back by a bare ma jority, i've of the aldermen being absent. in the meantime certain salaries that had been reduced were put back. The appro-

Additional tests made with the new
form of coast light devised by Schirm,
of Berlin, have proved quite satisfac-
tory. The trials, which were made on
the coast near the mouth of the Elbe,
show the light to be brighter than either
gas or electricity, while the cost of oper-
ating is said to be very small The ap-
paratus, with all its accessories, is barely
seven feet in height and three feet in di-
ameter, and consists of a blast engine
for driving air through pumice stone
inpregnated with benzine. The benzine
sas thus obtained is carried through fine
magnesium powder, and being saturated
Herewith proceeds upward through a
pipe and is consumed in small flame,
yielding light, it is claimed, of 400, 900
candle power. The apparatus is con-
trolled by clockwork, and is inclosed in
glass to protect it from the wind and
weather. The arrangement is especially
adapted for giving an intermittent light,
the consumption of magnesium being
small, depending on the power of the
light which may he required in any
given case. An important advantage is
also claimed for this apparatus, namely,
that it can be Gsel without condensers,
fog arrangements or refectors, although
the use of lenses further strengthens the
power of the light. Berlin Letter.

hitting u HALLWAY Station.

The joint railway companies have sue
cessfully completed remarkable un-
dertaking at Frodsham station, Cheshire.
Complaints have been made for years
of inadequate platform accommodation,
and finally it was decided to remove the
station masters house, booking offices
and general waiting room some six feet
back. In order to accomplish the task
without taking down the structures, ex-
cavations were made between them un-
til they were supported on large baulks
of timber. Then came the crucial point,
whether they would slide into their new
situation. Eleven powerful jacks were
brought into operation, under the super
intendence of Mr.. johnson, the COM
pany's engineer. Although the mass to
be moved weighed quite 400 tons, the
work was accomplished without hitch,
save that a chimney stack, which
cracked, had to be taken down. This is
stated to be the first occasion on which
an English railway station has been sue
cessfully lifted ON the American princi-
ple.-London Letter.

If Superintendent Byrnes would only
run down very plausible swindler who
aas just begun operations in the old
Ninth ward, the janitors of the many
apartment houses in that part of the
city would sleep better these hot nights.
The man is genius in his way, and
owes his success to the perfect manner
in which he has worked out the details
of his scheme. Yesterday morning
when the janitress of fiat house an
swered his ring she was completely be-
guiled by his Chesterfieldian manners,
which were further enhanced by a styl-
lsh suit OF clothes and IA glossy silk hat
As he looked at the apartments the man
ratified off Il plausible story that was
well calculated to deceive. He wished
a fiat for his old mother, who was an
invalid at present residing in the coun-
try He was wealthy, being in bust
ness in Broadway, and rs he wished to
make his mothers last days as comfort
able as possible, only the best rooms in
the house would suit him. The jani-
tress showed her sunniest apartments
and the man appeared delighted. He
ordered the rooms thoroughly cleaned,
and was about taking his departure
when the janitress suggested that it
was customary to leave deposit.
The man put his hand in his pocket,
and with an exclamation of impatience
remarked that he left his office in a
hurry and forgot to bring any money
with him. Then he remembered that
he had a check, which of course was
just the same. 1t was for ten dollars,
and he requested the janitress to take
three dollars deposit on the rent, one
dollar Oh the keys, and give the woman
two dollars for the cleaning. He would
leave the whole amount, only he would
have to pay for the moving before he
got back to his Office The janitress
was so impressed with his offhand man.
ner that she regretted she hadn't four
dollars in the house, and felt rather
small when she came back and told the
man she had only three dollars. He
seemed little disappointed at first, but
took the money and said he would trust
her for the balance until he returned in
the evening. The janitress congratu-
lated herself upon having secured a good
tenant, and it wasn't until the rooms
were all as clean as the proverbial new
pin that she took the check to store to
have it cashed. As soon as the grocer
saw the check he said it was no good,
as it was not drawn on bank at ALL

Travellers to the seacoast of southern
New Jersey from Philadelphia cannot
have failed to notice the bright patches
Of orange colored flowers which so de-
light the eye as the train passes through
the meadows. 1t is the Asclepias tube
rosa, one of the milkweed family and
one of the most easily transplanted
plants there is. 1t has heshy roots,
which penetrate to great depth, max.
ing it suitable for rather dry places.
Furthermore, these roots, when
broken to pieces, form new plants, so
that large number of plants can easily
be propagated. The common name of
this superb wild flower is butterfly
weed. Among the beds of Towering
plants exhibited at the Centennial ex-
hibition there was brought by a gar
dener from Holland one composed of
these plants and it excited as much
attention as any bed there.-Phila-
