"No matter what time he returns?"
Lottie failed to exactly catch the full
significance Of the words at once. Be-
fore she did so Addie, with reddened
cheeks and flashing eyes, exclaimed:
'sI do not think will trouble you. "
And turning she shut the door with q
slam and founced down stairs. At the
same moment the implication conveyed
in those half dozen inquiring words
burst upon Lottie's mind With an in
dignant, inarticulate yelp, she sprang to
her feet, overturning the workbasket
and dumping the scarfs like an avalanche
Of color, and dashed to the door. But by
the time she reached the stairs the hall
door below her closed with bang-the
insolent invader was gone. Turning
back into the room, poor little Lottie
threw herself into the armchair and
burst into tears.
II don't care 30 much for myself
but what will she think Of Mr.. La
tham?' she sobbed aloud, the stress iof
her feelings demanding vocal utterance,
even though she was alone.
"The wretch" thought Miss Hall,
lowering her veil to hide the tears In
her eyes as she rushed away. "To pre-
tend that he loved me, and all the
while He need never speak to me
again"
And her little heels pounded the flag
stones with unusual energy as she hur-
ried away from the now abhoTent
neighborhood.

sary appliance. The young ladies in
bloomers and rubber soled slippers,
appeared perfect young Amazons in
health and strength. They marched,
countermarched, and performed the
most graceful and difficult gym
nastic evolutions. They wound in and
out of q ladder like so many squirrels,
walked plank not an inch in width,
(these young women will not be afraid
to walk a log over creek); they
climbed rope to a height of at least
80 or 40 feet with the agility of a cat.
After the exercises are over, they
bring light mattresses, upon which
they throw themselves to rest. One
young lady told me her chest had ex-
panded three inches since taking these
exercises. They have not waited for
fashions dictates, but have already
adopted the Grecian waist, i.e., waist
proportionate in size to their God given
bodies.

headed people have reason to be
grateful to Professor Virchow, the
eminent German scientist, for reliev-
ing them from an unfattering stigma
There has always been a popular
belief that the size of the brain is
in proportion to that of the skull, and
that large-headed people are, there
fore, endowed with greater amount
of intellectual apparatus than those
whose heads are small. Professor
Virchow disposes of this theory by
pointing out that the Greeks, one OF
the most intellectual of nations, are
also one of the smallest-headed of races.

THE PUBLIC STREETS.

Tie People Have Right to Control and
Regulate Their Use,
To the DAILY LIGHT:
The right of the city authori.
ties to lay sewers in the public
streets involves the higher ques-
ton OF the right of the people to
the use and control Of the public
streets.
The public streets belong to the
public and the public is legally
entitled to the use and control Of
them.
Thei Mayor and council of San
Antonio are the agents and the
trustees of the people so far as the
right Of the people to the use and
control OF the public streets is
concerned.
But such agents and trustees
have absolutely neither legal
right nor power to grant any fran
chise in and to the public streets,
which would deprive the people
Of the legal right to use and con-
troll said streets, without let or
hindrance.
And should it grant any such
franchise, the same would be ultra
wires and contrary to the public
interest, and, therefore, null and
void.
The law presumes that every
individual knows the law, and, as
a corporation is an artificial per-
son, the same presumption ex.
tends to corporation.
Persons dealing with an agent
of any sort must look at the ,ex-
tent Of the authority of such
agent, and are chargeable with
knowledge of the extent Of such
authority because it was the part
Of prudence on their part to
scrutinize the authority OF the
agent prior to dealing with him
The law is too firmly settled
that the public streets belong to
the public, or to the people, to
be now jostled from its founda.
tions, or to be controverted.
1t is also thoroughly settled
that the municipal authorize.
Of town or city have neither
right nor power, under the law, Il
divest the pablo, or the people
OF the use, enjoyment, and contro
of the public streets by any fran
chise granted by them, either t.
an individual or a corporation
Every franchise on or over
street is granted and accepted
with the understanding that sucl
franchise is subordinate, or sub
ject to the right of the public to tn
use and control Of such streets. Rail
roads cannot condemn q publ
street in order to obtain a right O
way over and along it, but mus
obtain the right OF way through

And the city may prescribe tn
rate OF speed Of the trains, or tina
none except dummy engines shal

the people. The issue of sewe
bonds was submitted to a vote {
the tax payers, pursuant to Law
and was authorized by the vote
OF majority OF the tax payer
Hence the people authorized til
city authorities to place sewer
along the public streets.
The city authorities, as til
agents and trustees of the peopl
have the indisputable right
place the sewers on either side
a street, or in the middle OF it.

term implies. II the street raj

Washington, June 10 - The programme
Cor the annual movement OF troops, which
has been under consideration at the war
department for some months has been ar

was much dissatisfaction over the fact
that with the exception Of two companies
Of the Eleventh Infantry, the movements
ire confined to two regiments. 1t Is under
stood that lack Of funds is the cause for
the limited OH lngcs ordered. The Twnty-
second infantry has been directed TO change
stations with the Second infantry. The
former Is now distributed among posts at
Fort Keogh, Mont; Fort Yates, n. d., and
Fort Harrison. Mont. Instead OF taking
up their station at Omaha. where the Sec

troops will be placed at the new post, Fort

Pierre. =. OAK, Special, June 20. 49, The
lCtion Of Senator Pettigrew In Joining the
Sree-silvCr bolt at ST. Louis has alierated
ais warmest friends and admirers In South
Dakota. Only last week In conversation
with friends, he acknowledged freely that
he 81. Louis convention was bound to de-
clare against free silver and that he him
self would be turned down by the South
Dakota delegation, but ne assured them
that Notwithstanding these things he had
40 thought OF Joining in the bolt or leav-
ing the Republican party. In view OF other
things many OF his former friends think
that he has meditated this step for some
lime. and the final outcome has a faint OF
treason about II that takes away all feel
ing OF respect for the man. and he will
ind that he has underestimate his
strength and Importance in the Republi-
Fan party OF South Dakota. The rank and
die OF Republicans will stand by the nomi-
aees OF the ST. Louis convention and by
the platform adopted. The fight may be a
close and hard one. but Republican leaders
and voters generally have no fear of the
result.
