the increase of the salary of the healtf
officer from $50 to 500, was adopted
without discussion and by a like vote
the salary of the clerk of gas, who j:
now to discharge the duties of superin.
tendent, was increased to one Thousand
dollars.
The ordinance defining the duties o
the clerk of gas and of the committee
on light was passed. The ordinance
increases the number of committeeman
from four to five, changes the old law:
giving the clerk the powers heretofore
held by the superintendent, whose OF.
fee has been abolished.
The chairman of the finance commit
tee announced that the acting Mayor
had filed bond of $1,000 as he was
collecting some of the overdue licenses
and on motion of Mr.. Cation the action
of the committee was approved in &C
cepting the bond.
When the committee on streets re
ported in favor of reference to the
committee on poor of the complaint OF
the people of Del Ray in regard to the
city garbage being dumped on the aims
house grounds, Mr.. Burke suggested
that some action be taken to rid the
people of Del Ray of this nuisance, but
he thought that the hogs there were
even greater nuisance than the gar
bage, as but little odor was noticeable q
short distance from where the garbage
is deposited.
The chair stated that he had received
q communication from the owners OF
Del Ray and that the Superintendent
of Police had informed him that another
place could be chosen for the deposit
of all garbage except such as was heed
ed for the supporter the stock ut the
aims house.
The subject was referred to the COM
mittee on poor.
Afterwards, on the report of confer
ence committee, Council concurred With
the Aldermen in making the reference
TO the committees on finance and poor.
When the ordinance for paving Fay
cite street and requiring the Washing
ton Southern Railway to place their
tracks in the middle of that street be-
tween King and Cameron streets, in
stead of being as now. nearer the east
side of the street, was called up, Mr..
Burke explained that this was needed
in order that that square might be
graded.
Mr.. Snowden asked what was the
situation ofthe railway on Henry street.
1t was replied that the sewer requir-
ed q divergence on that street to one
side.
Mr.. Cation suggested that to lay the
track in the middle ofthe street between
King and Cameron would make curve
too abrupt, as the track was now on
one side of the street between KING ana
Prince, and on his motion the change
was required to be made from Prlnce
street northward.

no OFF YEAR

1t is commonly considered that the
wear between our Congressional and
State elections is an ..of year" in pol
tics This year has been a most
marked exception. Calamity howlers
and place-hunters who are already max
ing calculations about their course at
ter November elections IN 1896, have
kept up the fusilade the blessed year
through
Scarcely a single week has passed
without some populistic rally some
where within the borders Of the State.
1t has been Butler here, Skinner there,
Thompson Wonder. and now Henry
somewhere else he Iivelong year And
hungry ofiice-seekers have too often
neglected their business In irving to
find out from these SolOns something
new about the situation All this is
simply agitation artfully planned and
skilfully executed by these men who
are looking for nothing more nor less
than their own personal interest.
1t is absolutely appalling to see how
some men will stultify themselves about
things which they neither have the ca
pacity to know nor ever had the oppor
tunity to learn.
We do SO much wish to see q time
when men will lay aside all bitterness
and forget all unpleasantness and turn
their attention once more to the deyel-
opment OF our goodly land.

Occupation and Facial Expression.

A curious paper is contributed to Blackwood's by pr. Louis Robinson on the influence of trades on faces. It is pretty generally agreed that associa- tion with horses gives a person a horsey look; but it appears that circus riders and ring-masters are exempt from the general rule, because with them the horses are regarded as mere proper ties" and their minds are occupied sole ly with the achievement of certain feats to the satisfaction of the public. pr. Robinson takes as types professional musicians, priests, actors, actresses and blacksmiths, and shows how their pur- suits induce strongly marked facial ex- pression. Even the style of hair which has become associated with musicians is not altogether dependent on fashion, but is evidence of trophic changes re- sulting from mental habits. The growth and vitality of the hair are pro- foundly influenced by emotions Priests cannot change their priestly countenance if they wished. For some mysterious reason the subcutaneous tis- sue over the CHeeh-pOlleS dllu uuuSl IAiO jaws of the clerics face gets an undue supply of nourishment. which leaves distinctive marks, while the conscious ness of a share in the Apostolic legacy gives a muscular set to the lips. Dr. Robinson goes on to discuss the other classes mentioned in the same strain, and he ends by saying that the aim of the paper is to aid those who are en- deavoring to place physiognomy on a sound basis. The task is difficult one, because in the course of the article he admits that not only snay the organic part of man show every sign of guilt when there is no guilt, but only tempta- tion; but 1t may even go further in att taching a slanderous label to the coun- tenance, owing to the interlocking me- chanism of emotion, passion and nutri- tion.-London Daily Telegraph.

WESTYILLE.

June 1S.-The recent and much need ed improvements in some of our prin- clpal streets-the addition of several crosswalks at convenient points, the in- creased accommodation and splendid service given by the popular Fair Ha- ven and Westville Railroad company, had led us to conclude that we were not only highly favored people, but were entering upon an era of peace and pros perity unparalleled in our history. But alas, a warcloud has darkened our hori- zon. The failure of the honorable board of selectmen at their last session to of- fer a suitable apology to one of our leading citizens for what he terms some very flippant remarks made to him at a previous session has created a feeling of apprehension, and 1t seems to be the prevailing opinion that unless these misguided officials can be made to see the error of their ways serious results are likely to follow, and it is not im- probable that something besides Beech er's matches will be used to Illuminate the pathway of those who sit in high places. We shall await the next meet ing of the board with no little anxiety Meanwhile Fort Bradley will be, strengthened and provision made for the removal of the women and children to place of safety. Will the selectmen rise to the occasion and in a humble and contrite spirit make the apology asked for, or will they court death and destruction by pursuing an opposite course? This is the duestion that is now agitating the minds of this terror stricken community. We have fears for the future but hope for the best.
 Anxiously yours, F.

The Servant Question. From Harper's Bazar.l

If in the elaborate scheme of daugh-
 ter's education little time were given
 to a practical knowledge of household
 affairs, it would be found of inestimab1e
 service all through her life. Possibly
 the fault of which we complain does not lie so much with the servant as it does
 with the mistress. How can we expect our maids to know more than we know ourselves? They are very much like children, and they soon discover our ig-
 norance, and impose upon us. Try to
 teach a child anything, and see how ut terly impossible it is unless you your self know thoroughly the subject you are trying to impart.
 Another great trouble with the aver age young housekeeper is lack of sys- tenn. Her education is doubtless at fault in this, and she has never learnt business principles. But ones house must be run with method if one wishes ot run it satisfactorily. Inexperienced women make demands which are often quite impossible to be complied with not realizing what work their domestics are doing at the moment, which must be neglected if their request is regard ed. Given home, and husband who provides the wherewithal to keep the home, 1t obviously becomes the wifes just thought to see that she does not neglect this duty, and that the work is carefully and properly done. This of course involves many petty worries and vexs tions, and countless irritations and annoyances, but undoubtedly the husband has quite as many cares in his everyday business. A servants duties should be carefully explained to her, and each hour should find its appointed task If this is neglected the mistress should not overlook the fault, A busi- ness man tells his clerk what he ex- poets him to do, and if the clerk does not obey orders he is promptly dis unless some excellent and l
