SENSATION IN THE COUNCIL.
Thes Mayor Scores a Local Newspaper
for Criticising.

Thps Mayor Scores Local Newspaper
for Criticising.
The meeting of the common council
last evening was enl1vened by an ad-
dress by Mayor Rack in which he
severely scored a certain local paper
and its reporter (who was present at
the meeting) for alleged abusive crlll-
cism of the city administration. The
incident arose over a lengthy discus
sion of the bill of the noxious weed
commissioner, Peter Blair, which was
originally presented at 800, but which
a Joint committee had recommended
allowing at $780, Besides the commits
sioner's bill, there were minor bills for
labor in cutting weeds, amounting to
about SIP. This expense was incurred
through the neglect of lot owners to
cut the weeds around their premises,
but he charges could not be put In the
tax roll because the commissioners
failed to furnish descriptions of the
lots. 1t was the sense of the council
that the commissioner should be made
to suffer for his negligence by having
the bills for labor deducted from his
salary. After much discussion of the
matter the mayor made his address.
He said be felt that the whole discus
sion was a slap at him for his appoint
ment of Mr.. Blair, but he claimed be
made the appointment in good faith
that Mr.. Blair was an old taxpayer, a
staunch Democrat, and he did not think
he would render an exorbitant bill.
Then he paid his respects to the paper
above alluded to, and as he dramatic
ally said that There sits man who at
every opportunity is ready TO knife me
through the columns of his little pa
per-" quite a sensation was created.
The mayor thought the papers course
in the weed question was actuated by
personal reasons, trouble having been
had with one Of the proprietors over
some weed cutting. Finally the whole
matter was settled for the time being
by referring the commissioner bill
back to the joint committee.
An ordinance referring to the repeal
of the first issue of waterworks bonds
was read twice and laid over. Another
ordinance authorizing an issue of wa
terworks bonds to the amount of
$4,000, with interest at per cent, re-
ceived two readings and was ordered
published. This change is made neces-
sary because the old bonds, which bore
only per cent. interest, could not be
disposed of, owing to the jump in
money rates occasioned by the cam
paign discussion of the monetary sys-
tenn.
On recommendation of the Fire De-
partment committee three dozen rub
Der coats and three dozen pairs of
rubber boots for the use of the de-
partment were ordered purchased; also
the hook and ladder truck and engines
were ordered painted.

Is a Countess and = Brewer.

A unique occupation for a woman is
reported from Berlin. The proprietor Of
a large brewery there received q request
from Russian lady to be shown the
interior arrangements Of the brewery
After looking at various processes
through which the golden beverage has
to go the lady inquired for several de-
tails of the pneumatic machinery in the
malthouse, which proved to the brewer,
to his great surprise, that she was per-
fectly familiar with every detail of the
entire complicated machinery. Upon in
quiry it was learned that the lady, a
Russian countess, had a large acreage
of barley growing on her estate, and in
order to increase her revenue from this
source she had built brewery, which she
managed all alone. She was interested
very much in the pneumatic mailing
apparatus because she could not get
skilled labor necessary for the produc-
tion of malt ON her Russian estates.
Tasting the product of the Berlin brew
cry, she stated that her own beer was
not much inferior to the German prod
uct. When few days later the brewer
received some samples of the lady's
Russian beer, he pronounced it excel
lent and not inferior in any respect to
the best Bohem hn or German beer.
This lady is believed to be the only
woman brewer in Europe. .-Philadel-

Beatty's Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washing
ton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer, is building
more Organs and Pianos than ever.
In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
niless plow boy, and by his indomit-
able will he has worked his way up
so as to sell so far, nearly 200 of
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked an ordinary man
forever, he turns to an advertisement
and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world.
We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 200,
600 more of his make; that means a
business of s2O, ,OOO, 900, if we average
them at 500 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in exist
ence. Write or call upon Daniel F.

In the Early Days the Former Had n
Struggle to Live.
Among the artists resident in Glas-
gov who had acquired before 1910 some
what of a reputation Graham Gilbert,
Horatio Macculloch and Daniel Macnee
are those most widely known to general
fame. To these men fell the prizes Of
the profession such as they were at that
time. Prices were then on a scale that
would not please the popular landscape
and portrait painters of today.
The smaller men-not very numer-
Gus, it is true, and yet some of them
nost deserving-had a tolerably hard
struggle for existence and had to exc
cut their income by other work than
that of regular picture painting. Mac
culloch and Macnee themselves made
money in their younger days by decorat-
ing the lids of snuffboxes. The average
FAINTER was frequently pretty much of a
bohemian, living from hand to mouth
and glad to clear off a tradesman's s bill
by painting the portraits of the worthy
slopkeeper and his wife.
One of our best known artists tells
low on occasion in the long years ago
when he was engaged at a sitter's house
on the portraits of 4 successful clergy
man and his family the dinner hour ar
rived. He was not considered "genteel"
enough TO be asked to take place at the
table, but the mistress of the house
kindly sent to the parlor, where he was
working, a pate of stewed rhubarb 10

A Runaway Locomotive Had Many Sleep
ing Passengers In Tow.

ing Passengers In Tow.
Early one morning the engineer and
fireman Of the Santa Fe overland train,
bound east, when near Cajon pass, i'm
agined they saw something on the track
right ahead. Thinking the train was
about to be wrecked they both jumped.
The engineer was rather badly hurt, but
when the fireman picked himself up out
of the dust he found that the engine had
made kindling wood of a wagon to
which two horses had been attached.
Their driver had seen the headlight Of
the engine and had jumped in time to
save himself, and the animals them
selves were cropping the dried grass
along the roadside, which showed that
they had not been greatly disturbed by
the accident.
But the train, with nobody at the en-
gine's throttle, was plunging away
through the darkness, the passengers
asleep in their berths, utterly uncon-
scious that they were being drawn by a
wild locomotive.
The fireman, who had been left be-
hind, thought he would try to overtake
the flying train ON foot. Then he changed
his mind and, jumping astride one Of
the horses, he set out after the runaway
train. He knew it must stop shortly, as
il had to climb very steep grade, and
if the fire under the boilers was not kept
up the supply of steam would not fur
nish sufficient pressure to keep the
wheels going around. The vagrant train
did stop a mile and a half from where
the accident occurred. There did not
seem to be any reason for an Interrupt
tion of the journey just at that point,
and so the conductor and brakeman hur-
ried ahead with their lanterns to ask the
engineer what had given out.
When they found the cab empty, of
course the trainhands were very much
mystifed. They asked each other a good
many questions, and were engaged in
looking up theories to account for the
strange disappearance of the engine
crew when the fireman came loping
along on the horse he had borrowed.
After explanation had been made, he
turned his horse toward this city and
brought the first tidings the railroad
people had of the missing train. A hack
was sent out to the scene with another
engineer, and as soon as steam was
raised the overland went on over the
hill through Cajon pass. The same car
riage brought the injured engineer to
the city.-San Francisco Examiner.

dinner yesterday, Il want you 10 come
homo early this afternoon. / want that
sitting room stove up ard going by Sun
day.
IAN right, my dear" said johnson.
'I'I be home at 4. "
So that afternoon Johnson's wife sent
the children over to visit ON the other
side of town and stuffed rags in all the
cracks to dcaden sound. After a fervent
prayer that all the neighbors would be
out of town for few hours that after
noon she was ready for johnson.
He arrived promptly.
1.-The stove is out in the wood shed, -
said his wife.
The stove was not very large, and
after johnson had dressed himself for
the occasion, with the help of Mrs. John
son, who had taken care to have his old
clothes and gloves handy, lie got the
stove to the back porch without much
difficulty.
1T must be blackened, said Mrs
johnson as she mixed the blacking. It
blackened to a beautiful finish with very
little rubbing, and johnson whistled at
his work
Then he tackled down the oilcloth
mat and the zinc and kept ON whistling.
He took the stove in carefully and
put it in the right place.
There was plenty of the old stovepipe,
and while he cleaned it in the alley
with stick Mrs. johnson sat on the
back porch and listened to him whistle
The first joint went ON all right, and
the damper staid in place. The next
joint fitted so well that Johnson almost
stopped whistling in sheer admiration
for it, and so did the next one. The ell
bow fitted admirably, and the collar and
last joint went ON like a top. The seam
was ON the right side all the way up.
There was not even a speck of SCOT on
the papers Mrs. johnson had spread on
the carpet
In ten minutes more johnson had a
lovely fire in the stove and was in his
business suit again spick and span read
ing the paper while his wife got supper
1t was just here that there was a saw
age nudge in Johnson s left ribs and he
heard his wife tell him to wake up, and

why the Quaker's Chester Hogs Took No
Prizes In Georgia

Prizes In Georgia
81 never shall forget an incident
which occurred at the first fair ever
attended in Georgia., said a retired
Cincinnati meat packer. "It was ut
Macon, and 1 think they called it n state
fair. At any rate it was a big thing for
the town in those days. They had some
fine stock ON exhibition, and a Pennsyl-
vanian had sent down about 20 of the
finest looking hogs you ever saw. They
were mostly Chester Whites, and if
recollect Alright they We're exhibited by
Thomas Wood, great hog and cattle
fancier of 20 and 30 years ago. Ee it
was who introduced that famous breed
of hogs, the Chester White, and he
made a great deal Of money out of his
fancy stock. He was "a Friend-a Qua
keT, you know-who used the plain Ian
guage and wore a broad brimmed hat.
He was a smart old gentleman. honest
and prosperous. He sent his hogs from
state fair to state fair, and they took so
many prizes and blue ribbons that each
hog looked like boy who had spent all
his money making collection of badges.
when the Macon judges made their
awards, they gave blue ribbons very lib
orally to the razor backs, but not one Of
the fat, sleek Pennsylvania hogs got a
prize. The owner of the exhibit did not
understand it, so he hunted up one of
the judges and said in the language Of
the Friends:
g i know thee to be an honest man,
and do not question thy fairness in the
award, but to crafty my own curiosity
l would be glad to have thee tell me
why thee gave all the prizes to the ma
tive stock and what fault thee found in
mine?'
My friend, the committee admired
your hogs greatly, the judge replied.
They are certainly handsome, and 1
Eave no doubt that in your section they
are the best breed to raise, but they are
not suited for this country. They are 80
short legged and fat that a niger could
catch them in two minutes. What we
require in a hog in the south is legs and
wind. We give our prizes for speed. ."
