Mr. Nobels funeral took place in
Stockholm on Dec. %. The ceremonies
We're impressive, but We're marked by
one feature which is a source of regret
to the people of Sweden. No member
of the royal family gEaced the occasion
with his presence. In the future, when
kings will be looked upon as an inter
esting phase of the progress of society
from the semi-ciVilized to the civilized
state, the name of Alfred Nobel Will be
greater than that of any monarch from
Alexander down to the last perished
example of the kind. 1t has been hint
ed broadly in Stockholm by progressive
citizens that King Oscar would have
been the individual honored had he
forgot that sometimes even a man in
trade may be greater than a king But
| Mr. Nobel was not one who sought
royal favor. No Swede did his country
| the service that Nobel did it while he
| lived. King oscar distantly recog-
nzed these services by decorating him
with the order of the North Star, a
| decoration the millionaire cared no
more for during his life than he cared
! for King Oscars absence at his fu-
neral. The kings course has not made
him more liked by the people.
America has a public benefactOr in
the person of its great oil magnate

greatest benefactor reared the colossa
fortune which he has just beQueatheC
to humanity largely by his interests il
the product and refinement of the Goa

of his brothers will, hence, not be un'
interesting to Americans.

SUMMIT AVENUE PAVING.
Board of Public Works Makes an
Inspection of 1t.

President Copeland, Commissioners
Hare. Banholzer and Justus, Of the
board of public works, and City En-
gineer Ruffdlett yesterday made an
inspection of the asphalt pavement on
Summit avenue from Dale to Selby
avenue The city officials were joined
by John B. Robbins, the representative
Of the company which laid the pave
naent ten years ago, and Gen. Bend,
Col. Newport Eand J. H. Weed, who
represented the Summit Avenue I'm
provement association, as we'll as their
own property.
The contract under which the pave
ment was laid in 1886 provided that
$4,000 be held back from the contract
price, one-half of the amount to be
paid at the end Of ten and the balance
at the end of twenty years. Another
clause in the contract provided that
the pavement should be in as good
condition at the end of ten years as
when it was laid, wear and tear of
travel alone excepted. The ten years
was up last November, but the pay
ment of the first installment on the
deferred payment was delayed, owing
to the property owners insisting that
the pavement was not in as good
shape as when it was laid. The con-
tractors, the Warren-Scharff Paving
company, insisted that the pavement
expected after ten years of service.
The contract was pulled on the con-
tractors and the clause which stated
that it should be in as good condition
as when laid, wear and tear from
travel alone excepted. The claim of
the property owners was that the
pavement was cracked in places and
that the entire cushion should be re-
laid. The company insisted that the
cracks in the pavement were caused
by the travel in cold weather when
there was no snow on the pavement,
and that any defects were caused by
travel This was getting the thing
down to a rather fine point and as
there was snow on the ground it was
decided to wait until this spring and
then have an inspection made by the
board Of public works, which. under
the contract. is the sole judge as to
the condition Of the pavement.
The board inspected the pavement
yesterday with the city engineer, and
the bad places were pointed out by the
delegation of property owners, who &C
cCmpanied the party on the tour. Sew
eTal pieces of the asphalt were dug up
and inspected by the board, the state
ment having been made that the en-
tire cushion was rotten. The board
were evidently of the opinion that they
were somewhat hampered in the in
spectiOn, both by the property owners
and the representative of the company,
for it was decided to make another
visit to the scene this morning in what
might be called executive session. At
this time the city engineer will be TAX
en- along to measure and mark OUT
certain parts of the pavement which
the board will point out as being in
such condition as to need repairs.
After concluding this part of the in
spection the property owners will be
called in and given a chance to be
heard on the matter.

LION IN THE STREET
Causes FURRY of Excitement
Around NewspaDer Row

Around Newspaper Row.
Pedestrians in the vicinity of the
Lowry arcade, on Fourth street. last
evening were afforded the sight Of a
mountain lion walking serenely along
the crowded thCroughfare at the end
OF heavy chain in the hands Of it's
owner, M. f. Brown. The unusual
spectacle attracted quite a crowd
which gazed at safe distance at the
skulking figure of the beast as it gIidcd
rather than stepped close to the heels
of its master, shifting it's big green
eyes and nervously twitching a long
thick tale, as though chatting under
restraint of the chain. Several in
qu1sitive CANNES turned tail when the
lion flashed it's big eyes in their direc-
ton. The lion is a six months old
cub and was captured by Mr.. Brown
in the mountains near Jennings, Mont
last November. It's owner is an en-
gineer in the employ of the Great
Northern railroad, and was on a hunt
ing trip with several companions The
mother Of the cub was killed without
knowledge of her offspring, when two
kittens ran out of the thicket to her
dead body. One Of the cubs was also
killed, while the other was captured
alive by Mr. Brown. He has had the
brute for a pet ever since and keeps
1t in his room at the Lexington hotel
where he is stopping in this city. The
cub Is treacherous looking brute
about twenty-five inches high, tawny
in color, and about four and half feet
from muzzle to the tip Of it's tail. The
feet Of the brute resemble soft, velvety
cushions, while it's even now powerful
limbs are as large as a mans arm.
looking il-prOportioned to the rather
slight graceful body.
The young lion has as yet committed
no depredations during it's captivity
and responds to the touch and voice
of its master, but with the attempted
caress Of a stranger, tightens its sharp
ears to its head and assumes a malg-
nant appearance, heightened by the
baleful CLEAN Of it's eyes. The lion
was given an outing In Rice park last
night and gambOled about the benches
and trees like a huge cat.

Answer to E. j. Darragh's Suit fol-
Salary.

10 per cent reduction in Mr.. Darragh' )
salary which was put into effect by

January.
In it's answer filed yesterday the city
contends that Mr.. Darragh accepted
the cut, inasmuch as he accepted the
sum rendered him each month as sal
airy in full for all claims. This allie
cation Mr. Darragh emphaticaIly de-

GOES TO WEST POINT.
Lieut.. Castle Detailed There as an
Instructor.

Lieut.. Charles w. Castle, Sixteenth
infantry, u S. A., son of Capt. Henry
A. Castle, Of this city, has just been
detailed by the war department for
four years duty as instructor at West
Point Lieut.. Castle is now with his
regiment at Fort Sherman, Idaho. The
detail is a very high compliment, but
will, perhaps, be unwelcome to the
young man, who has expressed a pre-
ference to remain with his regiment.
Lieut. Castle graduated at West Point
in the class of 1894, standing very high
in mathematics and engineering. He
has been engineer officer of his regl-
ment ever since he joined it, and will
doubtless be an instructor in engineer
ing at the academy.

STRANGE ASSAULT, THIS.
John EricksOn's Queer Experience
ON East Seventh Street

John Erickson, 1aborer living at
420 East Seventh street, applied 10
the city hospital yesterday for treat
ment for a cash under the right eye,
which he received in a mysterious
manner Saturday night. According to
the mans story he was walking along
Seventh street, near Willius, about Z
o'clock in the evening, when two men
suddenly rushed toward him from the
opposite side Of the street Before he
could comprehend the situation, ETick-
son claims, one Of the men struck him
a savage blow in the face with a sIung
shot, telling him to the sidewalk. He
cried loudly for assistance, and ar
several pedestrians hurried to him. his
assaflants ran down Willius street.
Erickson says both of the men were
strangers to him, apparently young,
and attempted to hide their faces by
pulling SLOUGH hats over their eyes. He
did not report the attack to the police,
but when the cut under the eye grew
painful yesterday went to the hospital
and told the authorities there his story.
The wound is not of a serious nature.

1t is now learned positively that the
Rothschilds are about to make loan
to Spain, secured by mortgage upon
her quicksilver mines. The fact is
pregnant. 1t means SPANS complete
subsection to capitalism, and this in
turn points out the minor workings of
the mechanism OF capital.
The Spanish quicksilver mines are
reputed to be the very richest in the
world; their yield during the preceding
20 years is estimated at $50, 900, 900, and
it is asserted that, under more perfect
operation, they will yield enormously
more. Why does not Spain operate
these mines herself, and thus keep to
herself all the wealth there is in them?
Surely, her treasury is not so full MS to
cause her to be generous to others.
Why is she willing to part with large
chunk of wealth when she is in dire
need Of all she can get? She is willing
because she must; and she must be-

nations in which capitalism prevails, is
ingloriously the slave of the interna-

arm. Spain, like all other capitalist
countries, may or may not live, accord
