Cured. Both stood their ground

Lexington Wants More Revenue.

A secret movement has been in
augurated TO increase the saloon
license in Lexington to $1,000. At
present the revenue derived from
saloon license is about $4,000, and
those at the head of the movement
believe that with the license at
$1,000 the revenue would be ct
least $4,000 per annum, as it is
thought fifty saloois would pay
the increased license. This move
ment has been brought about ON
account of the insutiiciency Of the
revenue derived from licenses, tax
alton, etc. Last year the tax rate
was increased from $1.25 per 800
to 81 40. At the same time the
assessed valuation of city property
was higher than before the hard
times set in. With an increase Of
10000 from the saloon men it is
believed the deficit will not be so
great, and will obviate the neces-
sity of issuing so many refunding
bonds. Owing to the Interpretation
of the new city charter by LeXing-
toms chief executive officer, the
number of city officials has been
greatly increased, thereby swelling
the snlnrY list.

MEN AND THE CHURCHES,
Presbyterian Ministers Discuss
the Paucity of Men in
the Fold.
The Local Methodist Churches Will
Hold New Year Watch
Meetings.

"The Church and Men, was the subject
of paper read by Rev. E. E. Clark at the
meeting OF the Presbyterian Ministerial
Association yesterday morning. The
speaker quoted DR.. Clark's statistics to
prove that women form the majority of
the churchgoers in this country, and that
the men only average one-third OF the con-
gregation, saying:
MAY we not see in this the cause OF
much of the dishonesty in business? There
are religious hypocrites, but | believe they
constitute very small percentage OF the
whole number. The ballot is practically
in unchristian hands, and the fact that
we must have civic federations anG Chris
tian organizations to enforce the laws Is a
sad as well as a hopeful sign" Mr..
Clark urged manly preaching as one means
OF attracting men to church, and con-
cluded by saying, ''If we solved the prob
lem OF getting men to church, we should
solve many OF the social and political prob
lens that now perplex the church and the
Nation"
In discussing the paper Rev. Mr.. Bevier
advocated institutional churches, with gym
nasiums and reading-roOmS attached. Rev.
Mr.. Parry said he believed lodges stood as
substitutes for church membership with
many men.
Df. Alexander said: Wherever there
is man in the pulpit there will be men in
the pews. Wherever there is a namby
pamby Miss Nancy in the pulpit, all the
old maids III the country will be in the
pews." DIR. Ketchum decrIed any attempts
at trying to please ungodly men in order
to get them to church, and DR.. Minton
said he did not believe in churches with
swimming-tanks and gymnasiums. Men
We're often driven away from churches by
seeing the pastor aiming to please them.
The thing IS, he SAID, "to preach the

CARPENTERS VICTORIOUS.
They Win the Fight on the vallejo
Schoolhouse Job.

They Win the Fight on the Vallejo
Schoolhouse Job.
The carpenters and laborers who went
on strike on Rouptree Brothers North
Vallejo schoolhouse job have won their
point, and have gone back to work. They
struck because the contractors failed to
pay promptly, and because they worked
them nine hours a day. The mat
ter was called to the attention of the car
penters' business agent, E. R. Johnson,
Labcr Commissioner Fitzgerald and the
Solano County School Board. Johnson
told the men to hold out. Fitzgerald,
backed by the law making eight hours a
DAVIS work on all State and county work,
took the contractors to task for violating
the law, while the School board rounded
ND the Rountrees for not having the work
finished on the specihed time.
1t did not take long for the contractors
to see where they stood and an under
standing was quickly reached. The car
penters will be paid in full, the contractors
giving them orders on the School Board
for their money. They will resume work
and receive all future moneys in the same
manner: and last, but not least, 1t was
agreed that eight hours shall be all that
the men will be required to labor. The
carpenters regard this as another gratlty-
ing victory, although the job is not very
large.

Speaking of Boston and the members OF
that literary guild which made the Allan,
tic Monthly so famous, Mr.. Adams said
that he frequently met Longfellow at the
Papyrus CLUB. In its day that club was
the quoted literary club of Boston. Aid
rich, Holmes and many otner bright spir-
its met there frequently and happy times
were passed.

An Improved Headlight.

An ingenious machinist in the Dunsmuir
railroad shops is credited with having con-
structed an automatic headlight for en-
gines. In going around sharp curves head
lights on locomotives. being made station
airy. throw the light straight ahead instead
of throwing 1t SO that it follows the track,
where The light should be at all times-a
defect now remedied in this new arrange
ment.
The headlight is made to hang on two
pivots, the framework that holds the one
on top being fastened to the smokestack
and the bottom one to the boiler-head
From the bottom of the headlight two
chains run to the ends of an extending
arm, which latter is connected by a rod
that runs TO the pilot-wheels' truck. Thus
as the pilot-wheels strike curve the out;
side wheel forges slightly ahead, of course
and this movement works the rod and
chain Just enough to move the headligh,
SO that the reflection is cast directly on the
track.
