HIS LAST KICK.

Alderman Hicks made another kick
at the last council meeting against
Mayor Callaghan's policy of holding
back the pay of the Elmendorf en-
ployes. The alderman quoted the ma
yor's Interpretation about the '96-'97
taxes, and made the plea that his res
olution was in line with the admins
tration policy, but Mayor Callaghan
very quickly sat down on Alderman
Hicks, as much as to say, won't you
be good now" If the expectations of
the mayor are realized, in the matter
of collections of taxes Alderman Hicks
resolution will be entirely superfiuous.
1t will die --

BURT WILL HANG.
Criminal Appeals Court Confirms His
Death Sentence.

Criminal Appeals Court Confirms His
Death Sentence.
Austin, Texas, June 9.-Special.-The
State court of Criminal Appeals this
morning confirmed the death sentence
rendered against Eugene Burt in this
county last December, for the murder
of his wife and two children, which set
ties his fate and as soon as the lower
court fixes the day of his execution he
will be hung. Burt was convicted of
numbering his wife and two infant
children at their home in this city last
August. His crime is without parallel.
His residence was in the most thickly
settled portion of the city yet without
creating a disturbance during one
night he hacked his wife and two
small children all to pieces with a
Ratchet, tied their d~isjointed bodies in
a sack and sunk them into a cistern in
the cellar. He packed all the bloody
bed clothing in boxes and shipped
them to Houston saying his wife and
children had gone to visit relatives in
Dallas. He was trailed all over the
country and finally, after twenty days
search, was arrested in Chicago and
brought here, where he was promptly
sentenced to hang. The confirmation
by the higher court this morning set
ties his fate.

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT Elk
-
PENSES.

Mayor Callaghan has been laboring
to reduce the expenses of the Health
department. The estimated amount on
this years budget is SIC, 442.OO. This
includes hospital and every other item
of expense. The amount appropriated
by the Elmendorf administration was
ST., 974.97 but the expenditures exceed
ed this amount over 100000. Should
it appear that a similar cut can be
made in other departments, the pres
ent administration will have money to
spare.

HOW MAYOR CALLAGHAN DID
NOT PAY HIS TAXES.

WI Al l1lo l.
One Of the charges against Mayor
Callaghan during the last campaign
was that he had not paid his city AK
es. 1t seems hat Mr.. Callaghan con-
sidered that he had more than paid
his taxes although he was sued by the
city attorney and has actually judg-
ment against him.
The following official communication
tells the story:
San Antonio, Texas, Nov, IA, 1897
Hon. Bryan Callaghan, City,
Dear Sir:
In accordance with Public Improve
ment committees report adopted at
| Council meeting held on the 18th inst.
I am authorized to offer you for the
acres of land owned by you and used
by the city as dumping ground, the
sum of 81, 5O0-Out of the amount your
city taxes are to be deducted.
II accepted by you please furnish
deed for the property so l may have
same recorded.
Respectfully yours.
HENRY ELMENDORF,
Mayor city of San Antonio.
| Attest, E.. r. NORTON, City Clerk.
The whole transaction was consum-
mated, but Mayor Callaghan was
sued and because the City Council &C
ted in the shape of a resolution instead
of an ordinance it was decided that he
owed his taxes and that, although the
city had used his property for a gar
bage ground it was no contract. May
or Callaghan has a bgi damage suit
coming only that he is in a position to-
day in which he must defend the city
from damage. But the bargain with
Elmendorf should be carried out.

A noble record is that Of Trinity
Church Of Boston. 1t is the church
over which that large-hearted, conse-
Grated man, Phillips Brooks, was rec
tor for so many years. Its present rec
tor stated few Sabbaths since that it's
work Of charity during the last twenty
years had reached in contributions an
average Of one thousand dollars Sun
day for every Sunday the church had
been opened. These were voluntary
offerings for all who have needed sue
cor and the ministries OF pecuniary
help. quite apart from the costly main
tenance Of the services of the church
itself. 1t shows the great influence for
God and humanity an earnest, great
hearted preacher may have over the
people who listen to his religious teach
ings. and are ennobled by the example
Of his unselish life. 1t speaks. too,

Any American bicycle maker who
seeks information as to the best means
OF introducing his wares abroad and
particularly In Italy cannot do better
than consult a report on this subject
made to the state department by United
States Consul Johnson at Venice. The
consul says that while the Italians
make a fair bicycle, the people gener-
ally prefer foreign wheels, and If the
American maker can supply three
grades, about $3.50. s6s.s5 and s115.s0
each, there can be no question that
good market can be found. He adds:
As yet, in Italy, women have not ta-
ken very enthusiastically to bicycling,
but the interest taken by them in this
district is daily increasing. especially
those who aspire to a position in the
fashionable world. as it seems to be
quite the proper thing and in excel
lent form for a woman of a smart set
to be an expert bicyclist."
