The appropriations you may make must
be provided for largely by taxation upon
our people and. for this reason. every cit

expects. that they will be made as small
as is consistent with the best interests of

Appropriations.

While there are no large appropriations
to be made the present year outside or
those ordinarily made yet. as was sug-
gested to you year ago. large part OF
our expenditures are so fixed by law and
by contracts already made that the city
council cannot lessen the amount. ana
others, as the poor and snow bills. which
must DE paid whether the appropriation
is overdrawn or not, depend not upon the
economical ideas of the city government.
but upon the needs of those departments.
But. there are many appropriations over
which you have complete control and IN
those we should make the taxes as light
as is consistent with the welfare of the
city and. when they are made. We should
insist that they shall not be overdrawn.
Conclusion.
In accepting the responsible positions
we now occupy, we have solemnly prom
ised to discharge to the best of our abil-
tiles the duties incumbent upon us. To
do this will require your time and care
full attention and IL this be required be-
yond any compensation we may receive
it is duty we owe to the pubic ana q
lust claim which our citizens have upon
us and have no doubt will be faithfully
performed.
upon the meetings of the city council vii
materially aid in the proper despatcn no; o.
each one will endeavor to be present al
all our meetings.
invoking the care of that Divine Being
who doeth all things well over our be-
loved city and seeking his guidance in al
our acts. let us strive to merit the con
fidence reposed in us by our fellow cit
liens.
The Joint convention then proceeded
to the business of electing city officers
Alderman Dudley, and Councilman
Boyd and Murphy were appointed
committee to receive, sort and ccun
ballots.
The following officers were elected:

SWINBURNE FURIOUS.
English Poet Makes Volcanic Dem
onstration in the Times.

London, Nov. 29.-The loneliness of
literature had two volcanic demOnStra-
tions during the week Swinburne, the
poet, having been named in the acad-
envy as one of a selected forty to form
an English academy of immortals, wrote
a furious letter to the Times, saying:
1.-The notion of an English academy is
too seriously stupid for a farce and too
essentially vulgar for a comedy"
In conclusion Mr.. SwinbuTne remark
ed:
1T seems to me that the full and
proper definition of so preposterous an
impertinence must be left to others than
the bearer of a name selected for the
adulatiOn of such an insult"
Sarah Grands latest work is cauS-
ticalIy criticised and the authOress of
The Heavenly Twins" has written a
letter to the Daily Telegraphs book re-
viewer, cOuched in the most stringent
terms. Among other things she says:
THAT you are of ancient lineage I
am willing to admit, since your putting
in my mouth words and sentiments not
mine shows you are infected with the
blood of AnaniaS. That you should
take upon yourself to be a serious judge
of art, is a crime for which it is pain
full to think you must one day settle
between you and your God; but that
you should write yourself down an ad-
mirer of mine is the ugliest blow my
art has dealt me, and L take this Op-
portunity to publicly apologize for it.

FLOCK STRAYED 500 MILES
Shepherd Killed by Lightning and
the Grazing Sheep Go on a
Lonx Journey

Albuquerque. N. NJ, Nov ga
herder in charge of flock of 1000
base of the San Francisco mountains
IN Arizona was killed by lightning dur
ing terrific storm which visited that
section about August l. As the herder
was not expected to come in with his
sheep until October 1, his absence dur
ing August and September was in the
regular line of business and attracted
no attention. but when the middle of
October came and he did not appear
messengers We're sent out to find him
and see what was the matter. After
search of some days in the vicinity
of where he was last seen, the remains
of a camp We're found under a tree
which had been riven by the lightning.
The cooking utensils were scattered
about and the remains of a blanket
We're found, which were identified as
parts of one which the man had taken
with him The water key was also
recognized by a mark which had been
burned into one of the slaves. A
further search revealed the bones of a
man scattered about over the ground
some of them more than a hundred
yards from the tree, where they had
evidently been carried by the wolves.
a prospectOr who had passed that
way had camped night with the man
about August 1, and said the herd was
then moving uOrthWard- This tree,
around which these articles were found,
was just about far enough north to
nave been the next camping place, and
cAS IL Was remembered LDdI there was a
severe storm with thunder and light
ming in that section one night about
the time referred to it was clear that
the man had made his camp under the
tree, and had been killed by lightning
and his body deVOured by wolves The
sheep had never been heard of, and no
trace of them could be found anywhere
in that part of the country.
But now comes the strange part of
the story: About three weeks ago a
herd of about 1000 sheep was found on
the plain in San Miguel county, in New
Mexico, with no one in charge of them,
and to all appearances belonging to
nobody. The people in Arizona heard
of this fact and wrote to an officer in
the county where the sheep We're found,
giving their marks and explained how
the animals could be identified, when
! 1t was found beyond any doubt that
this was the same herd that had dis
appeared from range in Arizona about
August 1. They had been shifting for
themselves for at least three months
and a half, and turned up at a point
| fully 500 miles from where the herder
was killed, and had crossed the Rio
Grande on the way

Vatican Library Contains No Genuine
