The Board OF Town Trustees held their
regular weekly meeting on Monday even
ing, with all the members present. The
town printing was awarded 10 the Adyo-
cate, it having been the lowest bidder. 1t
was advised by Trustee Jones that the pro-
test against the Handy-street sidewalk be
oyerruled. He was sustained in his recon-
mendation by Trustee Whiting, the other
member of the committee. The date for
hearing the protest was set for Monday,
April %.
The Street Committee was granted
further time in the matter of the petition
of i. G. Lawson, that Prospect street be
graded and macauamized. A board of
three Commissioners, consisting of Messrs.
Irwin, Wass and Wilson was appointed to
oversee the opening of Grove street, be-
tween Woolsey and Adeline. E. Rawlins
and o. Neihaus were granted permission
TO place sidewalks in front of certain pieces
OF property on Ninth and on Dalton streets.
The contract for grading Alcatraz avenue
was awarded TO w. J. Schmidt, and for the
maCadamizing OF the same street to the
Oakland Paving Company, they being the
only bidders. A motion TO reconsider the
hquor-license ordinance passed last week
was lost.
The resolutions for the grading, curbing
and macadamizing of Shattuck avenue
were rescinded, and a new resolution of in
tention to grade and curb said street was
adopted and ordered to be printed in the
town paper.

Eleven men who will. in all probability,
be selected TO I'll places on the athletic
team that the university intends sending
East next month, went into training quar-
tiers on Dana street yesterday afternoon.

on the team, and will join their fellow-ath-
letes in the new training quarters.
The eleven men who were present under
strict orders yesterday are: Koch, Colt,
Barnes, Scoggins, Patterson, Woolsey,
Dyer, Edgren, Hoffman, Z. Brown and

the mile and two-mile walks.
A Faculty Tea.
The ladies of the faculty gave the last of
q series of monthly teas for this term to
the professors and students yesterday after
noon at Stiles Hall.
The purpose OF these informal receptions
has been TO stimulate q closer personal
friendship between professors and students.
This system was inaugurated last year to
take the place of the large receptions that
it was the custom to give once term at
some one of the professors houses. 1t is
intended 10 continue the teas during the
next college year.

EACH HAS ITS EXPLOSIVE.
Nations Which Are Experimenting fol
the Next War.

Nations WI ich Are Expefime nting for
the Next War.
Every great power has its own special
high explosive with which its shells are
filed. All the high-power explosives,
however, are in a more or less experimental
stage, and wet guncotton is the material
upon which most reliance is placed. There
is no doubt of the efficacy of the tremen-
dously powerful explosives which have re-
Gently been invented, so long as they can
be exploded among the enemy. When
subjected to the enormous impact which is
necessary TO obtain the required velocity of
1000 feet per second or thereabouts, they
are almost as likely to explode before leav-
ing the gun as afterward. If this difficulty
is overcome, the next question is to prevent
the shell from exploding before penetrating
the object against which Ii is fired, SAYS
the New York World.
The French pin their faith to melinite,
which has been very thoroughly tested.
Shells filed with this composition have
been fired through ten inches of armor
without exploding. The shells in this in
stance left the guns muzzle with velocity
of 20O0 feet per second. The English are
doubtful of the safety of melinite and use
a composition called lyddite. 1t gets its
manufactured. The lyddite shells have
been successfully fired through five inches
of armor.
Ecrasite is used by Austria. Its com
position is a secret known only to its two
inventors who are Austrians. This ex-
plosive has been found to have especially
destructive powers when used against
earthworks.
Sweden has decided upon the invention
of a Swede, which is called bellite While
it has not as much explosive force as many
of the other compositions yet it is claimed
to be more stable. Its powers of preserva-
ton are also much greater. The United
States has been making exhaustive trials
of kind of guncotton known as emmen-
site. The airguns of the Vesuvius were
designed for discharging emmensite shells,
but they did not prove satisfactory. Re
Gently emmensite has been successfully
fired from high-power gun with velocity
of over 1000 feet.

from the Postal Money-order Department.
A mum Der of recommendation were made
and. some months since, postal notes were
abolished with view of increasing the de-
mand for money orders.
Improvement in the Governments bust
ness followed. but, as pointed out by the
commission, the private corporations still
enjoy advantages to such an extent that
the ACCESSIBILITY has been suggested of look
ing into the legality of the money order
business as transacted by express compa-
MES The commission of 1893 said in its
report that the advantages of the express
companies were: First-That the sender
of an express money order was not required
to file an application blank; second, that
the sender got a receipt; third, that the
express companies rates were cheaper
than those of the Government. Because of
these advantages, according TO the report,
the business of the express companies grew
from less than 5000 orders in 1882 to 900, 900
last year.
1t has been suggested that the express
companies in their money order opera
lions have been encroaching upon the ex-
change departments of banks, as well as
upon the Governments territory, and the
banks have been represented as willing to
cooperate with the Government in making
a legal test of the express companies rights
in exercising functions of a semi banking
character.
A leading corporation lawyer of this city
said yesterday, with reference to the mat
ter: "The reason the express companies
outstrip the Government in the money
order business is that they assume respon-
sibility for losses of money intrusted to
their care, and, as private concerns, are
sueable. This is not true of the Govern
ment. Except by special statute, or
through the department of claims, a pri-
vate citizen cannot maintain an action
against the Federal Government, and when
an individuals money is lost in any way,
it is poor satisfaction for the Government
to say we are very sorry or institute due
diligence TO find out where the money has
gone, and yet fail to make restitution. This
IS the whole secret of the advantage of pri-
vate over Government enterprise under
existing law. l do not see how under State
or Federal law the express companies can
be prevented from carrying on their pres
ent line OF business. Baltimore Ameri-
can.

1t Required Explanation.

An amusing incident occurred the other
evening at the home of one of Brooklvn's
Weli-khoWh eltlzens. 1t was at the dinner
table, and the family had been waiting for
some time for the arrival Of the head Of
the house. The father was unusually late
and when he entered the dining-room he
made the round of the table. kissing the
upturned faces Of the little ones.
Everything went well until he reached
his six-year-old son, precoeious lad. The
father had kissed him and was about to
take his seat at the head of the table when
he was surprised at a request from the bow
for second kiss.
The parent fastened to comply, and was
stunned by the boy exclaiming: Say,
papa, what place did You stop in at on the
way home? ] like it.
The boy was commanded to be silent
but later in tie evening the husband adj
mitted to his wife that he had met friend

action and gives the public her solemn
guarantee that it has been tested in every
conceivable way, and has proved itself to
be the ONLY Hair Specific. It STOPS HAIR

HUNTING FOR A REMEDY.
How the Money-Order Business Has
Died Away.

Within the past decade the money-order
feature of the business done by express
companies has grown with such rapidity
as to materially encroach upon the same
business conducted by the Federal Govern
ment and the latter is looking about for a
means whereby the companies may be
estopped from engaging in that particular
feature The Government system was es-
tabished, in connection with postal bust
ness, as far back as 1864, and grew rapidly
for eighteen years. When, however, in
1882, private concerns entered the field, a
falling off in the Government business was
observed, and year or two ago the Fed
eral Joint commission for investigating the
status of the executive departments took
up the question OF the dwindling revenues
