GARBAGE STIRS IRE.
Two City Councilmen Fall Out
Over Dead Animal Ordinance
AND IT DOESN'T GET PASSED.

The Bicycle Ordinance Goes Through
1he ss,ounciI-Orher Matters Acted
On.
With the mercury above 80 the city
council held a meeting last night As
might have been expected the members
were not in very good humor and some
bitter words were said which were uu-
doubtedIy due to the oppressive atmos-
phere.
The mayor was the coolest looking man
in the room. He wore a blue percale
shirt and no vest and he did not use
fan. Councilmen Skinner, stephenson
and Burgess said good bye" to the god
or goddess of fashion and legislated in
their shirt sleeves. Each member had q
palmleaf fan and the fans had few idle
moments. When a member made an
extended speech on some subject of

wish that he had not been born an orator
The excitement of the evening was
over no less a matter than the dead ami

Councilman Skinner, in his usual
original style, inquired who was the
author of the ordinance, and when he
found that Councilman Bradford was its

why should not the ordinance pre-
scribe the size, shape and make of the
wagon and the color, size and breedin g
of the horses to be used. I would like to
ask the city attorney if that would not be
necessary with this ordinance. 1t says
that the dead animal shall be hauled away
at the expense of the city if the owner is
not able to pay or can not be found, but
how about Us who are able to pay-the
taxpayers. We shall have to pay our own
bills and for the others also. It does not
seem to me that is quite fair"
Councilman Bradford was on his feet
in an instant with fire flashing from his
eyes. "The gentleman is inclined to be
fscetious at my expense" said he
"He will find that he in
iures himself rather than me.

There was a really strong Scotch nov
ell published few years ago, though
it seems to have been already forgotten
by the changeful worshipers of Scotch
fiction of the day. / speak of Barrie's
Little Minister" That at least was
whole novel, not a book of sketches.
OF course it was about a minister, be-
ing Scotch, but this minister was enter
prising and he did something else than
die. Indeed, he did so unfunereal a
thing as to get married. 1t was quite
a trick for Mr.. Barrie to bring about
that marriage too, it was no easy thing
to manage love affair between a staid
and studious clergyman and a reckless,
creedless gypsy. That scene between
Babbie and Gavin at the well, and the
scene of Gavin's danger and Rob Dow's
sacrifice were well done. Now Mr..
Crockett, ! imagine, would have taken
old Mamie, who did not want to go to
the poor house. and old Margaret. who
had a past" and old Ogilivy who had
loved Margaret in his youth. and old
Rob Dow who died to rescue the minis
ter who had saved his soul. and any
other aged and infirm persons who
were handy and made a separate story
of each one because he has not the
patience or craft to weave them all
into one strong consistent novel that
has both major and minor strains, and
that is brave and cheerful and fair to
both sides of human life These chroni-
clers Of woe seem to delight only in
telling old women's tales Of the hard
ships they have seen and the wakes
they have attended. There is a merry

OF course every one dies, but there is
no use in inviting the whole world to the
funeral obsequies of the entire popula-
ton of Scotland. Death is not the es-
pecial privilege of the Scotch. some
times English men die, occasionally
even Americans. There are tragedies in
life much greater than DEATH IL one in
sists upon being tragic. There are
short stories and short stories. The
short story is a great art in its way; it
should leave one vivid impression. 1t
should have a vital point, or it should
atone for the lack of such a point by
beauty of language and quality Of style,
or else it should be pleasant. Now, Kip
ling's short stories are good reading be-
cause they are so various in theme and
treatment. They are full of real men,
young men, active and able bodied,
pleasant fellows whom you can chat
with and laugh with and forget. But

that he did not consider that he, had
really done anything in literature un-
til he had written long story. That any
clever person could write a sketch. but
that it took considerable ability and
tact to write even a poor novel. Certain
ly this Is true. A short story Is merely
a mood. an Impression. The chances
are that II will have genuineness and
continuity like any burst Of feeling. But
a novel requires not one flash Of under
standing. but a clear, steady flame and
oil in ones flask beside. Not a mood, but
a continuous flow of feeling and thought
and a vast knowledge of technique and
of the artistic construction of the whole.

also stated she went to that country
TO search for him, but failed to discover

THE TAXING POWERS HURT
An Extra Session of Congress, However

dent Cleveland.

Washington, May 21.-The income tax
decision, It's effect upon the revenues
and the probabilities Of an extra session
OF congress to provide the means for
supplying the deficit were the chief sub
Jects discussed in official and political
circles today. Senator Morgan of Ala
bama said today: The decision leaves
the taxing powers Of the government in
a state of wreck. t will require long
time for US 10 gather up the fragments.
The principles Of taxation which We're
considered we'll settled are torn up by

cording to yesterdays decision of the
supreme court"

Members of the administration who

unhesitatingly that an extra session of
congress Is out of the question: Nor Is |
there the least likelihood OF another |
bond issue. The treasury has now a |
balance Of over $4,000, 900, which is |
available for all purposes, and this |
amount Is more likely to be increased |
than diminished during the next three |
months 1t is argued that the ap-

iy augment the revenues, even should !
the customs not meet the present expec- |
tations. All licenses expire on June 80.
IN each year and judging from last
years revenues the receipts this year
from this source win exceed $4,000, coo,
which must be paid within the next 40
days. In the meantime expenditures
will be kept down to the lowest point
