might be prepared for planting on boUlr-

Vantage and cause serious loss to the city.

asked FOR this purpose IS. of course, al
most entirely for stock and for supervision.
However. as stated, II tbs finances of tn"
city are such as to require the most rigid
economy, our appropriation may be re-
ducpd by $3.50.

JOSEPH DID 1T.

NEW YORK, June pa dispatch
to the Herald from Washington
SAYS: Secretary Olney, when he
returns to the, state department,
will receive from Sir Julian Paun-
ceforte, the British ambassador, a
request from the British govern
ment to use his good offices with
Venezuela to secure the release
from prison Of the crown surveyor,
Mr.. Harrison, who is reported to
have been arrested by Venezuelan
police while engaged in construct
ing road connecting the Barima
and Cuyuni rivers, in disputed
Guiana territory. AS official ad-
vice of the arrest has not yet been
received at the Venezuelan lega-
ton, the Venezuelans, however,
find cause for rejoicing in the fact
that Secretary Olney has been ap-
pealed to by Great Britain, as in
dicating that the affair is not re-
garded as serious as at first sppre'
hended. They place the whole
blame upon Mr.. Joseph Chamber
lain's aggressive colonial policy
They point to the fact that under
date OF Dec. 10, 1894, they com
planned to Secretary Gresham
of the proposed road upon which
Surveyor Harrison was employed
and called attention to the fac
that as the route lay In Venezuelan
territory a conflict would be un
avoidable.
This appeal was affective for tn
time being. The road was aban
doned until last year, when tn
secretary Of state for the colonie
sent to British Guiana his call 70

road.

Fruit Inspection Needed.

To the Daily LIGHT:
Believing it to be your intention
to give space to any matters, Of
public interest, l would like to cal
the attention Of the city council
and the public in general to the
fact there was an ordinance passed
some several months ago regard.
ing the selling of over.ripe fruits
fruit in a green state, and also there
lie a provision which forbids the
many hucksters from selling fruits,
vegetables, ETC., that are exposed
to the sun. l do not believe it is
the intention Of any one to over
look these facts purposely, but
they are surely overlooked by the
authorities. And 1 think it ought
to be enforced, especially these
days of feverish heat; and 1
further call attention of the city
fathers to the many little stands
which keep rotten fruits and vege-
tables for sale and frequently i'm
pose them on children or any one
else who will accept them. think
it should be the duty of every po-
liceman to take notice to the facts
and when he sees such articles for
sale order them to the garbage box
to be carried away. If you think
over this matter seriously, 1 am
right. 1t Is bad enough to have to
buy vegetables that are spread in
the hot evening suns on the plaza
for three or four hours every day.
One of the LIGHTS hobbies, city
market houses, has and will con-
tinue to have the heartfelt sympa-
thies of the citizens and taxpayers
until the much needed want is sup
piled, and as long as we cannot
have them please give US protec-
tion from the rotten fruit and veg
etable impostors which the town is
alive with. Yours for sanitation

got to him ne said, 'Hel-
10, Mamie,' and / said Hello
Joe.' We did not stop until Joe
said, tom, are you fixed for me
now?' Tom said, NO, we will get
you tonight and Joe jumped off
the fence and had his coat on his
arm. He held it up in his hand
and put his right hand in the
pocket searching for his gun, say
ing, you - - -, get

draw the gun and fire. Then Tom
reached back for his gun. / then
