MORE LIGHTS ARE NEEDED.

The sidewalk on the west side of Westinghouse St
has recently been widened between High and Mas
sau sts.. under the storage and switching tracks
Of the Bridge. More room was needed there and 1t
could we'll be afforded from tho unused or little
used ground beneath tho tracks People who have
had occasion to pass along Washngton-st. at night
since this desirable improvement effected have
remarked upon the need OF more lights In this part
Of the street. The brick arches only few feet
above their heads and a gloomy day like
yesterday the place is uncomfortably dark At
night 1t Is almost Impossible for pedestrians to keep
out Of ono anothers way. as the only light comes
from the opposite side Of the street or from tho
electric lights at each end Of the block There
ought TO be lights placed at frequent intervals on
this block; and further UP Washington where
the Bridge tracks are at much greater elevation.
there is also need OF additional lights. The block
between Concord and Tiary sts Is long. and II
does not seem fair to people going that way at
night TO let them depend solely the light that
makes it's way across the street.
IT Is to be noted that provision for the comfort OF
pedestrians has been made where the walk has
been widened by placing galvanized iron troughs or
drip-pans under the orders supporting the Bridge
structure. which have been wont to collect moisture
and allow It to drop on the heads and down the
necks OF men and women passing underneath.

WITHOUT a NAVY.
Kingdom of Belgium las Water Front.
Rut No Shins Of War.

EJnSdom of Belgium liaS = water 'front.'
But No Ships of War.
No IL citation has been extended to
the naval authorities of one neighbor-
ing country to participate in the festlv-
tiles at the opening OF the ship canal
between the North sea and the Baltic,
which are to attract the armed ships of
various European and American
governments. That country, says the
New York Sun, is Belgium, and 1t is
peculiar among European countries
having a water front from the fact that
it has no navy.
This is the more remarkable when it
is considered that Belgium includes
within it's borders one OF the oldest
harbors in Europe-Antwerp-which
at the zenith of its commercial success,
had as many as 2,000 ships. The COM
merce of Antwerp is still considerable,
and fair share of it is done with the
United States.
When the war of 1850 eliminated in
the independence of Belgium from the
rule of the Netherlands, the two
countries were so divided that Holland
had the larger share of the seacoast
line, and Belgium had larger measure
of the inland country. Holland re-
tanned all the colonial possessions ai
the two countries, and, in order to keep
up connection with them and protect
them from hostile assaults, the navy
was maintained by Holland.
Belgium, having no foreign colonies
to protect. was under no obligations to
maintain navy. Holland has now a
considerable navy, having 1O0 ships and
$500 sailors, but Belgium is able to get
along without any navy at all, though
the Belgium army, on peace footing,
is 1000 men stronger than the Dutch
army, and, on war footing, has 100000
men more.

Company Being Organized In Boise City

It Is learned that movement Is on
foot here for the organization OF a
company of volunteers to assist the
Cubans, says the Boise Statesman. AZ
it is necessary to avoid q collision
with the government over the neutral
ity laws, it Is essential to conduct any
such enlistment with great secrecy.
1t is not known who is at the head OF
the movement. A prominent man in
Boise who has an enviable record for
courage, gained during frontier ex-
periences in the early days, has stated
that he intended to go with the party
In this connection it may be stated
that a non-commissioned officer at
Boise barracks, whose term is about
to expire, has recently received a letter
from the Cuban junta in New York
making him an offer to enlist. He
states that the junta has evidently se-
cured a list of all those in the army
whose terms of service are about at an
end and who have such records as to
commend them to the revolutionists.
Efforts are being made to induce these
men to enter the service of the Cubans.

The grand old Frenchman, now in his
eighty-eighth year, passes his exist
ence in sort of semi-somnolent con-
dition in the arm chair, which he only
leaves for his bed. He can no longer
walk, he has become stone deaf, and
when he is not gazing in silence at his
children he reads newspapers, care
being taken to select those which con-
tain no uncomplimentary references to
his name. Having lost all notion of
time, those placed before him are most
ly of dates four and five years ago,
when he was still in the heyday of his
glory, and when the press, still richly
subsidized by the Panama managers,
was never weary of referring to him
as ''the greatest and most illustrious
Of all Frenchmen.'' To this day
no one, not even the countess, can
say with any degree of certitude
whether he has any knowledge or
even inlxling of the misfortunes that
have overtalzen himself and his son
Charles. At any rate, he has given no
evidence thereof, and there is a gen.
eral disposition to hope that his once
grand intellect passed into its present
somnolent state in such a manner as to
have spared him any such sorrow.

ALLeEN.ALi, THE COBBLER.
How He Lost His Wives and His Faith at
the Same Time.

How He LOST his "fVcs anu I1As EaAth a.
the Same Time.
Ali-Ben-Ali was and is renegade.
He believes in three gods, and drinks
spirits of wine, corn and rye. He also
believes that women have souls and
that, while there are many houris in
heaven, there are more in hell. When
the muezzin calls to prayer he puts his
thumb to his nose and spreads his fin
gers out, which is his Turkish way of
expressing derision. Once upon time
he owned seven slaves, four of whom
were white. Great men were his
friends. Now he cobbles shoes, says
Vance Thompson in the New York Ad-
vertiser.
He might have been happy man to
this day had it not been for that devil
of an Alcibiades. Ali-ben-Ali was sit
ting on his feet, looking through the
open door out on the blue waters OF
the Bosporus and the low sandy
shore beyond when the Greek came up.
He was a low-browed Greek. He was
peddling slippers with long red points
which curled over like rams horns.
Ali was absorbed in thinking of his
seven female slaves. He kicked the
Greek in the back violently two or
three times, but otherwise ignored his
presence.
The subtle Greek departed. Under
his low brow he devised this revenge.
He wrote letter to the sultan.
well see about this" said the sui
tan. .sMesrour, off with Ben Ali's
head and bring me his seven nice
wives"
Mesrour returned in half an hour, the
seven slaves, of whom four were white,
trailing after him.
ben Ali is dead" he said.
Mesrour lied. Ben Ali. by hribes,
had secured his escape and, disguised
as 4 bale of tobacco, was stored away
in hold of n vessel bound for New
York. He is in New York now to prove
that this tale is no lie. He cobbles
shoes. At times he drinks strong
spirits. Then he curses the COM
mander of the faithful and Alcibiades
the low-browed Greek. The sultan i.
a Mohammcdan, and him Ben Ali
curses; the Greek is a Christian and is
ourced of Zen Ali
