Mr.. Knox was little bewildered,
though flattered at his daughters delight
at seeing him again, in spite of the con-
trast he must afford to those with whom
she had been. He looked down at her
with critical fondness. Was it possible.
in spite of the rapturous letters they had
received from her every day. that she
had not been happy with her fine friends?
But when Colencl Prinsep came up he
forgot these doubts in seeing his evident
consideration for Jane and attention To
her wants. And the child accepted his
Civilities with such easy grace.
Little mink, She has inherited this
self-possession from her mother. whose
proper pride. as she herself calls it. is
generally equal to the most embarrassing
occasions" For his part it was as much
as be could do to keep his legs in an easy
attitude. and he had even more difficulty
in refraining from giving a military sa-
Lutte TO his colonel, although in plain
clothes.
To escape from what he felt TO be an
uncomfortable situation he moved away
toward the luggage-van. staggering in
his walk the more noticeably that he was
not entirely at his ease. Jane looked
after him, and Stephen Prinsep looked 1T
her.
A moment later their eyes had met and
Jane seemed to guess instinctiyely the
reason of his former imperturbability
1t was not because he did not care, but
because he cared too much.
And Colonel Prinsep? He saw that she
had surprised his secret in the same in

MUST STAND EXAMINATIONS.
Mayor Thinks Sanitary Officers Come
Hinder Civil Service.


Mayor Denny has discovered that neither
the Board of Health nor the Board of
Safety can legally appoint sanitary officers.
In looking over the civil-service rules the
following provision has been found:
Sanitary and meat inspectors, who shall
be selected by competitive examinations as
herein provided These words appear I'M
der the list of those applicants who must
take examinations, and the conclusion
reached is that the present force must
be examined. According to the present con-
struction the old force was appointed ille-
gally. Mr.. Denny held short consultation
with the Board of Safety yesterday, before
the board held its meeting. 1t was decided
to grant police powers to those men whom
the Board of Health has recommended, for
the time being. Joseph Sheppard and
Frank Adams were appointed yesterday
and sworn in. 1t was understood that they
are appointed temporarily. The civil-service
board will now be asked to order an eX-
animation of the applicants for the SAM
tary force and to make appointments for
the positions. The Board of Safety did not
grant Sheppard police powers when first
asked to do so by the Board of Health.
1t is reported that a member of the Board
of Safety remarked that no member of the
old sanitary force should be reappointed.
Sheppard appeared with letters, however,
showing that he was an unwilling party to

was decided to hurry the work of the cree
ton of three new engine houses and let
ter asking that such be done is to be sent
to the Board of Works. 1t was decided to
purchase two new hose wagons for the de-
partment, and Chief Webster was instructed
to advertise for bids. The board heard
charges made by Jerry Callahan against
patrolmen Nathan Ward and Daniel Car
ter. Callahan alleges that on the night of
April the two officers beat and kicked his
boy. Edward Shea filed charges against
patrolman Robert Meyerpeter, alleging that
on March % the officer kicked and beat him,
breaking his arm Meyerpeter was at
tempting to arrest the boy, and he claims
Shea tried to escape, and in the scuff1e both
fell to the ground. S. j. Rice filed charges
against patrolman Jesse Settle. Rice claims
to be man with an occupation. and says
Settle recently arrested him without cause
upon charge of lettering. The board did
not set time for the hearing of the sew
eral charges. A fire-alarm box was ordered
placed at the corner of Ninth street and
Hillside avenue.

AN OPEN ORDINANCE
BOARD OF WORKS WILL REGULATE
LOCAL TELEPHoNE MONOPOLY.
Phoenix Company's Prospositfon Not
the CfviI-seryice Regulations.

The Board of Public Works was in con-
ference yesterday afternoon with represent
atives of the Phoenix Telephone Company.
The latter made to the board it's PROPOSE
ton to the city for franchise which was
not regarded by the members OF the board
as altogether advantageous. The members
of the board are net satisfied with either the
propositions of the Central Union or of the
Phoenix and they now have under prepare
ton an ordinance in which will be set
forth the obligations of the two companies
or any companies which wish to obtain a
franchise. The Phoenix company offers a
very small sum to the city for franchise
and furthermore asks the use OF the sewers
for conduit purposes. The. compensation
which they offer is very small in the
neighborhood of 5000 a year. The board had
expected something like $1,000 The re-
quest that the sewers be allowed for con-
Quits was unexpected and Mr.. Holton said
1T was a matter upon which the board would
have to think long time" The Phoenix
company further promises to furnish the
city telephones for the fire and police de-
partments, at the rate of SIS a year a
telephone, agreeing to put in a separate
switch board. 1t also agrees to furnish tele-
phones to residences at the rate of 81 a
month and at business houses for IS a
month. The board did not think this fea-
tnre of the proposition was made sufficiently
nothing to prohibit the company from charg-
ing these rates for telephones near the
center of the city and higher rates for those
some distance away. The representatives
were informed that the board would give
their proposition consideration, but after
ward the board decided that the PROPOSE
ton could not be accepted. The board in
formed the Central Union what would be
expected, but no answer has been received.
perhaps the Central Unions thinks they
have III, in a hole,' said Mr.. Holton yes
terday afternoon, land that we will have to
come to their terms. This board is not go
ing to give any company monopoly ana
now that both companies have spoken, we
will SPEAK in a short time to them. There
will probably be an ordinance upon the
subject and 1t will contain our opinions
upon tie matter, which have already been
annouL ced.''
Claim that if the board imposes any great
burden upon them they will be unable TO
furnish service at as low rates as antlci-
patel. but the board will have something
to saw regarding rates we'll as the COM
pensations to be paid the city.
