CHARGE TT TO FISHER.
President WiIdman's Remarks About
Those Street Repairs.

Mr.. Wildman, president of the Board of
Works, offered an explanation yesterday of
the evidence before the investigating COM
mittee to the effect that the Board of
Works had ordered Street Commissioner
Fisher to repair streets left in bad condi-
ton by the sewer contractors. lie said
that complaints reached the board every
day about the condition of certain streets
"a mud hole here and some gravel needed
there, etc. He said all such complaints
were sent to the street commissioner with
the Endorsement instructing him to attend
to the matter. The street commissioner,
he said, is expected to use his judgment at
times, and after viewing the place, il he
thinks it is not work that should be done
by the city, report it to the board with
the name of the responsible person COM
pany. Sometimes these reports were made
by him, and then the board required the
contractor to make the proper repairs.
When no such report was received from
the street commissioner the board sup
posed that it was work which should be
done by the city and thought no more of
it, 1t is simply impossible for the board
to keep track of all the mud holes in the
city, and know whether they were caused
by the sewer excavations, he said.

The Greenwood Line.

The promoters of the indianapolis, Green
wood & Franklin electric railway are not
satisfied with the franchise rendered them
by the County Commissioners. The right of
way, prepared by the county attorney,
permits the company to take possession OF
but ten feet along the west side of the
Madison road. This space, the company con-
gle track. When the commissioners sub
mitted the provisions of the franchise q few
days ago it was understood that the rail-
way company would accept it. The direc-
tors are of the opinion that unless the
farmers along the line could be prevailed
would be useless to attempt to build a line

OF the railway company have been given

slider favorably proposition to construct

APPRAISING REAL ESTATE,
Township Assessor Wolf Preparing
for Spring Campaign.


Township Assessor Wolf is preparing for
the annual spring assessment, which, in ac-
cordance with the law now in vogue, begins
the first day of April. In conformity
with the statutes the assessor must this
year appraise every foot of real estate in
the township. This is done every four
years. Assessor Wolf says that if the Leg
islature enacts certain law that will be
brought up for its consideration he will be
able to do the work with much smaller
force of assistants than would otherwise
be required The clause which it is pro-
posed to get before the General Assembly
will provide for the commencement of the
real estate appraisement on the 1st of Feb
ruary instead of the 1st of April. By be-
ginning the work two months earlier the
assessor says he viii be able to accom-
plish it with less than half the force that
it would otherwise require. He says that
the members of the State Board OF Tax
Commissioners promised to interest them
selves in securing the passage of the new

MAIL CARRIERS NEW RULES.
Cight-HOur Law to BE Strictly OBJ
aerNcd-No Overtime work.


The First Assistant Postmaster general
has sent Postmaster Sahm list Of new
ders, with instructions to post them in the
Office conspicuously. These orders de-
signed, it is said, to test the real strength
of the several forces over the United States
and by this means to find out the necessity
OF working overtime. The intention is to
cut down overtime work beyond eight hours
to minimum. The carriers are instructed
that they must not report until the exact
minute in which they to go to work
and must not remain moment after finish
ing up the work after their last trip. They
are required to note the time required for
each trip and also the time spent in ''rout-
ing their mail. The daily trip reports must
be made out Immediately after each trip and
not at the close of the day as heretofore.
Strict instruction, under penalty of re-
moval, is given in reference to concealing
the fact that overtime is being made.
Carriers are forbidden TO do any clerical
work at all and must not be around the
postotiice when not at work. The post
master has special instructions to enforce
the eght-hour law. A list of questions rela-
tive to the method of transactng the bust
ness of the office was sent direct to the
postmaster to be answered. One question
is as to whether any effort is made TO test
the amount OF work that a carrier Is doing
This. Mr.. Sahm says, is done by assigning
another carrier TO any route that seems to
require any certain man too long to work
Il. IL there is a large difference, seeming
to show the former carrier slow or de-
linQuent in his work, still another carrier
IS assigned to the district. Then If the re-
suit is the same II is considered sufficient
evidence that the first carrier is not COM
petent for the task. There are some carriers
who have grown Old in the service, Mr.
Sahm says and they can no longer do their
work fast younger men, and this or
ever he says, he cannot prevent The

Saying few words is not marriage.
"History shows that there was time
when marriage was not honorable and
concubinage was. Now the hour has
struck for q holy moral crusade, not to
capture an empty sepulcher, but to exalt
I humanity by quickening the divine in

Blackstone now says, BY marriage
the husband and wife are one person in
law; that is the very being and legal ex-

The husband has become her baron or
lord and she is his servant.
Upon this principle of the union

FuRs AND wooLENs.
How TO Store and Keep Them Free from
Moths and Dust

How TO Store and Keep Them Free from
Moths and Dust.
The great secret of keeping furs and
woolens free from moths consists in
putting them away early in the spring.
before the moth begins to fly and seek
a place to lay her eggs. Before put
ting away furs and winter garments,
they should be taken outdoors, thor
oughly shaken and brushed, and then
put away so securely that no moth can
reach them. If furs are put into the
box in which they were bought, see
that there is no hole or crevice in it, and
paste a strip of paper around where the
box and cover meet, SO as to close it per-
fectly. Furs or wooden garments may
be kept securely in the paper sacks
which come for that purpose, or in
clean paper -four sacks. These sacks,
after being tied up tightly, should be
hung in a closet. If this matter is at
tended to early, no tobacco, eamphor
or other preventive will be needed.
but it will do no harm to scatter in
some pyrethrun powder, which is
preferable to the others, as 1t has no
disagreeab1e odor. If furs are put
away with camphor, they are apt to
come out next fall shade or two
lighter than they were when put away.
