Reports of Gran d Jury.

1t is wel-known fact that after long and
careful attention to public interests of the
various Grand Juries their final reports have
simply been received, accepted and pigeon
holed and the jury discharged. We concur
fully with the recommendation made by our
predecessors that this and all future reports
OF the Grand Jurles shall be included in the
annual printed municipal reports Of the City.
The limited time allowed by law for the
existence of the present Grand Jury has pre-
vented US from making a more thorough in
yestigation into many of the departments of
this municipality, which we very much re-
greet, and as the last Grand Jury has complied
with the law requiring an annual exporting of
the books and accounts of the various City
and County officials we have not deemed it
necessary TO go into that work again after so
snort an interval of time. Respectfully sub
mitted FREDERICK HOBBS, Foreman.

City Real Estate.

We have made an examination of the realty
belonging to the City and we are surprised TO
find that there is no complete and correct list

mend that this deficiency be supplied at once
and q correct inventory be accessible at all

City Supplies.

The Grand Jury believes that an entire
change should be made in the manner OF pro-
curing and furnishing q large number OF the
supplies required for the various City insti-
tutions.
They recommend that central depot be
established and an efficient superintendent be
appointed to receive, weigh and inspect all
supplies and certify that the various articles
purchased and delivered are equal n quality
to the standards required. type samples
should be kept in his office in order that bid
dsrs can at all times see what viii be required
of them.
The system of obtaining supplies for City
penal institu tions by advertising for "rations"
is condemned as being the poorest method OF
obtaining the articles required. These inst1-
tutions should be supplied like the other City
institutions at sta ed price for all articles
needed This viii do away with extensive
advertising for bids for rations, which expense
has now TO be borne by the successful bidder.
which often prevents Il Tree and general COM
petition of bidders and greatly aids rings"
to combine and secure the contracts at high
prices, as has been done heretofore on several
occasions.

On this subject we find the law is defective,
inasmuch as 1t makes the crime misdemeanor
when it sh ould be felony. 1t seems impossi-
Bile to get at the managers and promoters OF
the business. The pc ice courts, for some Tea-
son, are entirely too lenient in the matter of
penalties, as they have gradually reduced the
amount Of fines imposed TO merely nominal
sum where formerly large fines were imposed,
and the courts entirely omit the imprisonment

County Clerk, and his own conscience must
decide as to whether he is doing the City JUS
tice or not. The only relief offered for mod

fixed by law, and the conduct of this Office, is
in the framing of a new charter. We find the

He Is the Second Son of the Heir Appar-
ent to Denmark's Throne
The recently announced betrothal of
Princess Maud of Wales to her cousin,
Prince Karl of Denmark, has been re-
ceiyed with judicious enthusiasm by
the British public. 1t is safe to pre-
sumo that it is a marriage of affection,
for there is small ambition for the
daughter of England's future king to
become the wife of the second son of
the heir-apparent to Denmark's throne.
Prince Karl is quite three years
Younger than his fiance, and his life,
spent in the quiet, old-fashioned court
at Copenhagen, has been as simple and
uneventful as only the lives of royalty
can be.
Perhaps the fact of his being without
- past" is what particularly aroused
Princess of Wales interest in the match.
Or it may be that her strong feeling
of affection for the members of her own
family. which has always characterized
