Refused Concurrent Action.
There was considerable discussion on the
joint resolution appropriating $500 for
sewer in Tidewater street, from the river
to Taft street.
Councilman Ryder thought that 1t was
not good policy to expend money for
sewers In that section under existing con-
ditions. Already the city had expended
more than $4,000 above the receipts for
the current fiscal year.
Councilman Farrell emphasized the ne
cessity OF sewering that section of tho
city, and now was the time to proceed
with the work. BY a roll call vote con-
currence was refused.

HIS BACK BROKEN
Martin NoOnan Of Denver
Street Still Alive.
The Accident That Caused Injury
Occurred in January.
Operation Was Performed Yesterday By Dr..
Hudnut-Patlest's Condition Critical.

Martin Noonan of Denver street has been
living with broken back for the past four
months.
While at work on building at Wood
lawn last January he fell from a staging
and has since been confined to his bed.
Soon after the occident he was taken to
the Rhode Island Hospital, but he did not
seem to improve under treatment there
and was removed to his home.
Paralysis set in and his condition for the
past month has been critical.
DR.. Hudnut was called yesterday, and,
assisted by another surgeon, a thorough
examination was ma lie.
The spinal column was found to be frac-
tured and 1t was a mystery to the doctor
how the patient has lived so long.
There Is no chance for Mr.. Noonan's re-
coyery,

tions--Collective Note of:.Powers
Presented TO Turkey.

Greece is In a wofu plight. She
does not know whether the war is over
or not. as the porte has not as yet re-
piled to the powers request for an ar
mistice. 1t is not remote possibility
that the sultan will take the matter in
his own hands and deal with the ques-
tion as he thinks best. When Greece
entrusted" her care to the powers she
was given no assurance that hostilities
would cease. A London report says
the cZar has peremptorily ordered the
sultan to stop fighting. A dispatch
from Rome says the powers request
for an armistice has been granted. An
Athens dispatch says the porte intends
to reject the mediation of the powers and
negotiate directly with Greece. The
situation at Athens is one of great anx-
iety.
Athens, May 13.-The fact that there
is no news Of fighting must be regarded
as good news, but an uneasy feeling
exists here.
The Turks are trying to outf1ank the
Greek position at Domokos, and the de-
lay in the porte's reply is also inter-
preted to mean that Turkey does not in
tend to cease hostilities.
kilograms from the front report that
both armies are concentrating in an
ticipation of an engagement.
The city continues quiet, though 1t is
believed that the Italian volunteers and
socialists now here will endeavor to
foment a revolution leading up to a re-
public.
But the Greeks are devoted to the
monarchical idea, and the worst tkat is
likely TO happen Will be a change of
sovereign.
The return of Crown Prince Constan-
tine to the capital might produce dis
turbances, but he Is likely 10 be discreet
enough to avoid Athens for a time.
1t is now officially denied that German
officers were found on board the Turkish
transport ship captured Monday by
Greek torpedo boat off the Turkish ISL
and of Tenedos.
Acute anxiety is felt here because of
the absence of any news from General
Smolenskfs column.

FACTS AND FIGURES.
They Present the Economical Side OF
the Good Roads Question.

They Present the Economical Side OF
the Good Roads Question.
There are, it is estimated, 100000
miles of highway roads in the United
States, about 90 per cent. of the roads OF
all the world. Great Britain has 12O,-
coo miles of roadways, and these are
some of the best in the world. Germany
has 275,O0O miles of roads, and some OF
them are as poor as the roadways OF
great country can ie. France, which
has taken an enlightened view OF the
good roads question for many years
and has spent by go, ornamental or local
authority more than S1,000,000,000 on
highways, has a road mileage OF 33O,Ooo'
more than any other country. Russia,
with an enormous area, has only TO-
900 miles of roadways, while Italy,
smaller country, has $4,000.
For a considerable time the agita-
ton in the United States for good roads
Ianguished for the reason, perhaps,
that by the American system of subdl-
vided local authority whats every
body's business is nobody's business,
and, controversies being frequent as
to the liability of national, state or mu-
nicipal authority for needful eXpendI-
lures, very little was done. The Nation
al League for Good Roads was organ
lied in 1892 ito awaken general inter
est in the improvement Of public roads.
TO determine the besI methods of build
ing and maintaining them and conduct
and foster such publications as may
serve these purposes" Atthe beginning
of the agitation, the good roads ques-
ton did not make much Roadway, and
it was not until the popularity of BIZ
cycling grew that the demand for i'm
proved roads became organized, and
since then considerable Roadway has
been made. y computation which finds
much favor among the advocates OF
good roads is this: There are approXi-
mately, though the number is steadily
on the decline, 100000 horses in the
United States There were 100000 by
the census of 1S9O), and there are about
100000 mules, principally in the south,
the annual cost for fodder forthese ami
mails being 81, SOC, 900, 900. On fine stone
roads one horse can haul as much as
three horses can haul over the average
dirt road of this country. 1t is esti-
mated that it would be necessary to
build about 100000 miles of macad-
amized roads in the United States in
order to have as good a system of pub
lie highways as is found in several Eu-
ropean states. At $4,000 per mile this
would involve an outlay of 81, 100000, 600.
a pretty large sum. But if half of the
draught animals could be dispensed
with by the building of such roads,
there would be an annual saving of
S7OO,OOO,OOO in the food bill. Conse-
quently, if road bonds were issued bear
ing three per cent. interest 100000
miles of macadamized road could be
built without increasing the annual ex-
penses one dollar.-N. Y. Sun.

or manlier fellow. He came of a good
family, though his immediate ances-

those unmistakable marks of gentility
that are bred in their possessor. He
was good six feet tall, perfectly built,
had a strong masculine face and was
graceful as a tiger. He had the COM
mendable pride that goes with self
respect and self-reliance, but had the
broad democratic views of the true
American. No one could ask a better
friend, while even as an enemy he was
as magnanimous as he was fearless.
During the third year we were to-

the region had become quite popular

capacity for enjoyment. He was in
his old haunts and having his old
sports, unmindful of the fashionable
invaders, more than one of whom cast
admiring glances upon the cookbook

Any milk having large amount OF
sediment is suspicious. Particles OF
dirt are a sign that germs are abun-

milk consists mostly of particles of
dead skin and manure, which fall into
the pail from the body of the cow dur

and dirt and dust in the vessels used
for handling milk, and unclean attend
ants, are also common sources of dirty
