FOR A PAID Department
Ordinance Passed on Two Readings
by Select Council.
THERE WAS SOME OPPOSITION
Ordinance Creating a Sewer District on
the South Side Passed Third Reading.
Argument on the Ordinance Fixing
Uniform Rate of Wages.

Select Councilman w. M. Firms ordin-
ance for the establishment of a paid
fire department was the first one re-
ported from committee at last nights
meeting of select council. The ordin-
ance was called up in its regular order
for consideration on first reading. Mr..
McCann wanted information about.
when the ordinance was reported.
Mr. Manley was the next speaker.
He said that it looked to him as If the
ordinance was introduced for the pur-
pose of raising Chief Engineer Ferber's
salary, whom he said appeared to have
a penchant for having his salary raised
since he became connected with the fire
department. Mr.. kellow had few
words to say against the ordinance ana
stated that he would be in favor of
paid fire department as soon as he could
be convinced that the present volunteer
department had outlived its usefulness.
For him the latter was good enough yet.
Mr. Sanderson has been in favor of
paid fire department since he came on
the council, but he questioned the WIS
dom of creating one now when the estl-
mated expense for the coming hscal
year Is SIS, 600 more than the amount OF
revenue that will flow into the city
treasury. Mr.. Finn said the appropria-
ton for a paid fire department does not
exceed the one which it will take to run
the volunteer department, any more
than few hundred dollars. Mr.. Man
ley's motion ito indefinitely postpone
was lost. The ordinance then went
through on first reading. Some of the
members tried to stop its progress any
further, but after a short discussion the
ordinance passed second reading.

TENDERS ON STREET CARS,
An Opinion of General Interest De-
liNercd in BROOKLYN.

Justice Neu of the first district civil court
Of Brooklyn handed down an opinion yester-
day morning in one of the actions recently
brought by the city of Brooklyn against the
Brooklyn and the Newton Railroad Com
pany, for an alleged violation of the ordi-
rance passed by the common council, and
approved by the mayor April l, 1895.
The resolution adopted was to the effect
that each railroad in the city operated by
electricity should within sixty days be
equipped with safety fender attached to
the front platform, which should be not
more than three inches from the track, and
SO constructed that no person could pass
der it.
The first question to be decided was
whether the common council had the power
to pass such an ordinance; second, is the
ordinance reasonable one which the de-
PENDANTS can comply with?
AS to the first question, the justice decides
that the~common council had the power to
pass such an ordinance in the interests OF
public safety.
AS to the second question he decides that
the requirement in regard to the distance
the tenders should be from the ground
made it an impossibility for the company
to comply with 1t, on account of the oscil-
lations of the car, and therefore gives judg-
ment for the defendants.

HE WAS NOT LOUIS XIV.

His Drawing Room Was Perfect Ex-
cept That Its Owner Did Not Match 1t.
From the Uphosterer.
I cannot too forcibly advise great care in
the selection of styles. An uncle of mine
became rich and spent an immense amour.
of money in furnishing his drawing room in
pure Louis XIV style. Everything was cost
ly and accurate. He spent eighteen months
on the task. When it was finished he asked
a friend, a great art critic, to dinner, and af-
terward took him upstairs and showed him
the room-hs triumph. The critic examined
everything carefully and at last gave sigh
and said: Everything, my dear sir, in this
room Is genuine, perfect and harmonious,
save one
.'What is that?" said my uncle.
The critic took him by the hand and led
him to a large mirror. He looked in and the
reflection showed a short, stout, bald ma 4
in the orthodox claw-hammer coat, boiled
rag" shirt and black trousers of mems
evening dress.
1.-The one discordant irreconcilable thing
the one utterly inharmonious-is yourself
Are you Louis XIV in style?'
NV uncle looked in the mirror for a mo-
ment. then groaned and walked straight out
of the room. Since that day no one can in
duce the poor man to put his foot in the
drawing room, and the rest Of the house Is
furnished in the most heterogeneous name,
conceivable.

ONLY ENGAGED TO HIM.
Novel Suit Involving I'm Some De-
gree the Status of the Fiancee.

A Novel Suit Involving I'm Some De-
From the San Antonio Daily Express.
A novel question is involved In a suit now
on trial In the state district court at Gal
weston, Texas. Allen Taylor, an employe Of
the International and Great Northern rail-
way, died in Houston, March II, 1895, from
injuries received in a wreck on that road
that day.
He had his life insured in favor Of his
flancee. Miss Josie O'Shea Of this city, in the
Travellers Mutual Insurance Company for
81 500. Shortly after his death suit was
filed in the district court against the insur-
ance company and Miss O'Shea, to restrain
the company from paying the amount to the
beneficiary designated, and to compel pay
ment to Mrs. Mary C. Taylor. mother Of de-
ceased, and his sisters, Laura SheetZ and
Fannie Ingram. who are Joined pro forma
by their husbands. Arthur L. Sheetz and
Frank Ingram. The petition alleges that
the designated beneficiary was not related
to deceased, and that plaintiff, Mary c.
TAYLOR is q widow, the deceased being her
sole support, and that she and the other
plaintiffs were his only legal heirs.
No case wherein the validity Of the In
surance in favor of a sweetheart was In
yolved has heretofore been presented to any
court in Texas, and there Is but one case on
record in the United States where the case
has been adjudicated. The case referred to
is reported in the fifty-second Missouri re-
ports and 1t was decided by the supreme
court of that state that such insurance was
valid.

MINING by FIRE,
A Queer Method Employed in the
Yukon COuntry-BOundnry Dispute.

Queer Method Employed in the
Yukon COuntry-BOundnry Dispute.
From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
j. o. Hestwood, who is we'll known in this
city, returned from Alaska on the last trip of
the Alaska Commercial Company's steamer
to San Francisco, arriving in this city on
Monday night Mr.. Hestwood has some
mining claims on the upper Yukon, near
Forty-Mile City. He left that point In the
early part of September and it took him
over a month to get home. He came 1900
miles down the Yukon to st. NIichaes, en-
the coast, then down to Unalaska, and from
there across to San Francisco.
About 100 people went into the upper
Yukon country last season." said Mr. Hest
wood. by way of Juneau. making their way
over the mountains at Chilkat Pass, then on
the ice over the great lakes for 300 miles
from there they had to go 100 miles further
by boat, when they reached Forty Mile City,
There has been a great deal of activity in the
mines at FOrty-Mile. 1t was demonstrated
last winter that these mines can be worked
as profltably in the winter as In summer in
fact, at much less expense. This Is done by
the use of fire. A hole is sunk by fire down
to the pay streak. the earth being thawed
out by the heat. The dirt is then hoisted
by windass and left on top of the ground
and is washed out in the spring. l opened I'D
quite rich claim this season on Glacier
creek. and have men employed this winter
burning. l expect to take in prospecting
machinery next spring. which will enable
me to locate the pay streak In the gulch In
q comparatively short time. BY using this
machinery hole twenty-five feet deep can
be sunk in day, when eighteen inches cay
by burning Is pretty good days work"
Speaking of the Alaska boundary dispute
Mr.. Hestwood said
I'm my opinion, II the United States fails
to hold her rightful title to the territory
which is in dispute she might as we'll give
up all claim to Alaska. II this country
should have no coast line up there except
above the Hist meridian, entrance to the up
per Yukon would be impossible by way of an
American port. except during the summer
months. because the mouth of the Yukon
which Is about sixty miles wide, is filled
with Ice from Boring sea until late In June
You can easily what this would mean
England would absolutely control the trade
OF that country 1t Is universally claimed
by experienced miners who have been in
Alaska that 1t is one of the greatest gold
bearing countries in the world. There are
pup miles or waterway In which gold csn
be found"

THE NEwsBOY's VERSION.
He Had the Idea, but His Language
Was Out of the Ordinary.


Was Out of the Ordinary.
From the Chicago Record.
Through a truant officers activity seven
year-old newsboy called 'Jamesy" was fore
ed to change the freedom Of the streets for
the restraint of the school, He went to the
school house half determined to escape at
the first opportunity, but soon became inter-
ested in the proceedings. Toward the close
of the session the teacher said: Now. will
read this from this little book, and any Of
you who wish to can repeat 1t to the class
in your own words. Don't try to say 1t
as 1 read it, but just as you would say 1t"
Jimmie's eyes grew big and he was all at
tention. The teacher read this short lesson
from the first reader: See the cow. Is it
not a pretty COW? Can the COW run? Yes,
the COW can run. Can the cow run as fast
as the horse? No, the COW cannot run as
fast as the horse" "Criminy!" thought
Jimmie; "is at all? Ats dead easy" His
hand was up in a twinkling In imitation of
several others. His interested face caught
the teachers eye, and she said: We'll,
James, you may try 1t, but be careful and
get it right You may stand up by your
seat" "Jamesy" arose. Ordinarily he was
not bashful. but now his face was flushed
and he was trembling with Importance as
he said: Get onto de cow! Amt she a
beaut? en- she git move on? Sure! C'n
she hump herself as fast as de horse? Nav,
she amt in 1t wild de horse, see!' The teach
er was overcome but, nevertheless
"Jamesy" was a favorite from that mo-
ment.

JAPAN AND COREA.
The Former DisavOvvs All RESPONSE
biIity for the Coup d'Etat.

The Japanese minister has made the fol-
lowing statement in regard to recent events
in Corea:
THE Japanese government disavow all re-
sponsibility for the coup d'etat in Seoul on
the Sth of last MONTH which resulted in the
death of the queen at the hands of Tai Won
Kun and his followers. The Japanese min
lister, Mr.. Muira, who was reported to be in
directly connected with the uprising, to-
gether with the members of his legation,
has been recalled to Japan. and these, as
well as other Japanese subjects who are I'M
derstood to have been implicated, will be
tried in the criminal court at Toxic
THE Japanese government has no inten-
ton of interfering in Corean affairs. Our
policy there is one of non-intervention, dis
tinctly so stated and distinctly to be
observed. When the Japanese troops shall
evacuate the peninsula of Liao-Tung all the
Japanese soldiery in Corea will withdraw
except a limited number whose presence is
necessary to protect Japanese life and Prop
erty. And these will be removed when the
Coreans shall have established a stable gov
eminent, possessed of sufficient strength TO
maintain itself and the foreigners resident
therein"

WOLVES FROM THE NORTH.
Their Invasion of the DakOtns Inter.
preted by the Weather SharDs,


From the Chicago Record
Recent dispatches from Chamberlain. s.
D., told of the unusually large number of
wolves in that vicinity and on the cattle
ges west of the Missouri river Reports
from many ether portions Of South Dakota
show that wolves were never SO plentiful
as they are at present. Serious loss has
been experienced by sockmen in the west
ern part of the state. and even in the east
ern part depredations are constantly In
cres sing.
The wolves are not the common coyotes,
but are the large gray timber wolves and
some of them that have been killed are
monsters. They are capable of overpower-
ing tWo-y ear-old steer with apparent
ease. At one point in the northern portion
of the state seventeen wolves were recently
counted In single pack feeding on the
carcass of horse. Since the settlement of
the country no such thing has ever before
teen known, and gray wolf has always
been rarity east of the Missouri river
There must be reason for this sudden

pers who have spent their lives in the
northwestern wilderness have an eXplana-

1rcm the extreme north, away up in the
woods of Alberta and the vicinity Of Hud
sons bay, and that the migration is the re-
suit OF that mysterious and unerring in
stinct which sways wild animals. This
southwark migration of the wolves ac-
col ding to the trappers, is always said 10
presage a severe winter and a phenomenal
sEcwfall which will prevent the animals
from obtaining food in their customary
haunts. While this visitation of wolves
may not be particularly enjoyed by the
stockmen, it is believed to be good sign
for the husbandmen. In their opinion it

1t Occupies the Attention of the Bal
timOrc Convention.

The big Rochester strike and its indorse-
ment was the question that took up the
greater part of yesterdays session of the
annual national convention of Garment
Workers at Baltimore. The convention
unanimously Endorsed the boycott on Roch-
ester-made goods, as ordered by the general
executive board of the association. All
unions have been instructed to hold enter
tainments, balls, etc, in order to raise
money for those strikers who are still out
of work in Rochester. There are now $50
men locked out there. The balance of the
1000 were sent to other cities, where they
have secured work. Later the delegates
will take up the question of immediate re-
lief for those unable to leave or get work.
1t will mean the expenditure of from $2O,-
600 to $4,000.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages, af-
fecting eyes. ears and throat, and is, in
fact, the great enemy OF the mucous MEM
brane. Neglected colds in the head almost
invariably precede catarrh, causing an
excessive flow OF mucus, and if the muc-
Gus discharge becomes interrupted the
disagreeable results of catarrh will fol-
low, such as bad breath, severe pain
across the forehead and about the eyes, a
