.DR. SMYrII,S OPINION.

With full understanding that Dr. Newman Smyth had no personal knowledge" of the preliminarles to the gorgeous advertisement, and that he was not seeking to get into the mess, the Investigating committee dragged him into the presence and demanded his opinion. It was forthcoming Dr. Smyth based his opinion on the known and public facts, including the head mans queer message, and he gave it with his usual clearness and force. His opinion strikes us as in full accord with common sense and common hon. esty Isn't it plain enough, as he puts it, that the efforts which ought to have been made to prevent the waste of pub lie money were not made? And isn't it plain enough that such careless or wilful neglect justifies the criticism of it that has been made? And is care lessness dealing with the public money honorable?

SINS OF IGNORANCE,

The ancient children of Israel were pretty particular in their efforts to make amends for all their sins They even went so far as to sacrifice for sins ton of Israel sinned through ignorance young bullock was offered in expia- tion. If one of the common people ig- norantly did wrong he could square himself with "a kid of the goats, a female without blemish' And if a ruler did somewhat through ignorance against the commandments he could get relief by offering "a kid of the goats, male without blemish''
 If some of our rulers have sinned through ignorance and if they ever find out that they have they may well initiate the ancient children of Israel In trying to make themselves clean. We suppose it would be too much to ask them to offer up their offices in expia- ton, but they could make an offering of their pride by mounting the new and beautiful band-stand on the Green in broad day ,ght and making an apol- ogy to the whole congregation The whole congregation would be there to see and hear such an exhibition of con- scientiousness and 1t would do both
 them and the exhibitors much good. If this couldn't be done perhaps burnt offering could be made of the band stand. The cost of this offering
 wouldn't have to be considered as the
 city has money to burn. Something
 should be done to make amends for
 such ignorance as some of our rulers l have testified has been theirs. And it | i sa question whether the whole con- gregation has any right to feel comfort able until the burden has been re- moved.

ton of vacant lands has yielded excel lent results, and he expresses regret that the change in conditions makes it necessary to give up the work. To re- move from the scheme of potato culture the feeling that 1t is a charity, the Ger man arrangement is to require each planter not only to work his own plot without assistance, but to pay a con tribution equal to about one-half of the cost. The municipality supplies the remainder. The planters contribution Is paid on installments during the sum mer months, Receivers of aims who have fallen under the care of the police are denied the advantages of the scheme, which is intended to benefit those householders who are in distress ed circumstances, and who threaten, unless assisted, to become public charges.

 Second-The lymph, which flows through an automatic valve when 1t inserts its proboscis, contains a modifi- ed germ of the malarial fever, and, according to the well-settled law of innooulation, the introduction of the weak germ renders harmless an attack by the strong germ.
 Thlrd-The mosquito never swallows human blood, It cannot The fact that it's body becomes discolored and swells, while probing, Is caused by the discoloratlon of the lymph in contact with the blood and the muscular effort of inserting the probe.
 Fourth-A mosquito will never insert its lancet in person not susceptible to an attack of malaria. In this respect it's sense Is more accurate than the most skilled and experienced path ologist. This also proves, not only its unerring instinct, but that it never wounds unnecessarily.

occupancy of streets, under ordinary circumstances, drivers and wheelmen must regard the ordinary rules of the road It is in the interest of their own convenience and safety, They should exercise good sense and a reasonable regard for the actual conditions in every instance. Wheelmen should bear in mind that their vehicle is much lighter and more easily controlled than vehicles drawn by horses. In Judge Wilson's opinion the rules of the road did not require the driver of the cart to drive to one side "in order that the rider of a bicycle might be relieved or the necessity of deviating from a straight line." The judge says fur ther: In many cases it is the duty or the rider of the bicycle to regulate his course and to make concessions which possibly the driver of vehicle of bur den ordinarily would not be obliged to do. In this particular case it is quite evident that the plaintiff, under the mo- ton that he had right to compel the driver of the cart to leave the track in order to give him free and unob- structed passage, remained in his on- ward course so long that the collision
 which occurred was unavoidable. In this he was at fault he brought the consequences upon himself by his own folly. In our judgment there was noth- ing in the circumstances of the case or in his duty which required the driver of the cart to leave the track to make room for the plaintiff. We are, there | fore, of the opinion that the plaintiff
 made out no case and that the instruc-
 tion of the trial judge to render a ver-
 dict in favor of the defendant was
 proper and should be sustained. The
 rule is, therefore, discharged.
 According to this decision wheelmen
 must be reasonable in their use of the
 streets. Some of those who use Orange
 street would perhaps be more reasona-
 ble than they are if they had their at
 tention called to their legal duty.

THE TWO HORNS OF TT.

It occurs to us that perhaps when the official and public investigation of the gorgeous street sprinkling advertise ment is over there may be private investigation in one of the newspaper offices. It is pretty plain that some of the city's business men who are inter- ested in the prosperity of one of the newspapers didn't attend to the city's business as well as they might. And they testify with one accord that they were not concerned about the business of their newspaper. If they are con- demned for not doing the city's business we'll will not their private business .as sociates also have a bone to pick with them for not looking out better for the interests of their newspaper? To be sure the gorgeous advertisement "got there" but it's getting there was such a clear case of accident that some of those who might have steered it seem to have laid themselves open to the charge of being careless about both private and public business.

The bicycles place in the law and in the road is gradually becoming fixed An interesting contribution has just been made by Judge Wilson of Phila- delphia. Thomas Taylor of that city was riding home from his work on a wheel. It had been raining and the streets were slippery. Going down Dauphin street he rode between the tracks of the street railroad. At the same time a cart, drawn by a single horse and owned by the Union Trac- ton company, was coming up the street in the opposite direction and was also between the tracks. Taylor saw the cart. and the driver of the cart saw Taylor. Each thought that he had the right of way and that it was the busi- ness of the other fellow to turn out. When it was too late to do it safely Taylor turned out. but the horse struck the wheel and Taylor was thrown to the wet pavement and hurt.
 Judge Wilson decided against Fay Tor. He points out that in the ordinary

BEAN BANQUET IN MAINE.
Citizens of Hallowell Sweep the Streets
 and Celebrate at Night.


 and Celebrate at Night.
 Hallowell, Me, has an improvement society which turns out once year to clean the town. Last Monday was ob- served by the society.
 At o'clock the men and boys began to collect at City Hall. They con verged from every direction. One hum dred strong they were marshalled, armed with rakes, bees, and heavy brooms MT. Penney was commander in-chief.
 Hallowell is laid out with four streets paralled to the Kennebec and several streets intersecting these at right an- gles. The hundred men and boys were divided into sixteen squads. Each squad was put under the charge of a competent captain, and a simultaneous attack was made at sixteen points. On Third street Editor Marston headed band; on Second street Alden Grimes was in charge, and so on, everywhere it was the same. Pebbles, leaves, sticks, paper, and other matter some biase and all passe, were raked into heaps, then half dozen two-horse teams picked up the heaps and hauled them to the river bank Now the river bank might be a thing of beauty and a de- light to the thousands who pass in the steamer but it Is, or was, collection of ash heaps and less cleanly things. The Kennebec tried to sweep the bank the other day, but 1t only got up high enough to raise the countless pieces of paper and leave them on the bushes. f n l on the street appropriate exercises were held at the high school grounds. Most of the boys were helping on the streets, | but enough were at the schoolhouse to i set out two trees to take the place of a large rock maple, which must soon be cut down. Creeping plants were set 1 out around the fences, and brief ex- ercises were held inside the building. | These over, most of the pupils went 1 to assist the Improvement Society in some way. The girls went down to the l Old South Church vestry to help get | the dinner ready, for there was a grand | banquet for the conquering heroes, the ! knights of the rake and the hoe. The 1 laborer is worthy of his grub, at least, for during the morning some pretty l downed. Some positive nuisances were cleaned up which soon would have re- quired the attention of the Board of 1 Health. As noon approached, the ad- vance guard appeared at the chapel. Fifteen or twenty of the best and hand soonest girls in town, and that means a good deal, made the vestry scene of delight for hungry, weary soul.
 Most of the laborers were boys, and after half days hard work the beans, rolls, doughnuts. ham, beef, cakes, and numerous brands of pie

 The boys were silent, too, for a few minutes, and then the uproar! MT. Penney beamed all over the place Henry Clearwater baled out the beans with a smile (and spoon) that was almost as refreshing as the food. Some fears were expressed that too much food had been collected, but these fears were soon dispelled. One of the wait l resses said she never had such a jolly time in her life-Lewiston Journal.

FASHION NOTES.
ALoose Belt to Look Small.

The wheel girl Is appearing in a jacket that is bobbed short enough to show the belt of the bodice below it. It is also very boxy and full, failing per feetly straight or even setting out little. The result is that even if her belt is an easy fit, as it should be if she is not to kill herself wheeling, yet the round look by contrast to the coat is dainty and slender. And we must have small waist. No one thinks of wearing a skirt that Is not fitted for the wheel, and these hang straight from the saddle at the back, the edge exactly horizontal to the ground Dust colors are much worn, and in many in- stances the jacket or bodice is strongly

It is related that after a San Diego man got divorce from his wife the other day he went home and found her there. She asked him to sit down to dinner, after which she asked him how he liked the new arrangement. First rate" he replied, "but I can't under stand it." "Oh, that's all right" said she; i've can live this way in content ment. The other way we quarrel. Now. then, suppose you retain me as housekeeper? Twenty dollars per month and board is all I ask.' This struck the ex-husband favorably, and the bargain was closed on the spot. The couple have not had a sign of trouble since, although they were in hot water for thirty-two years, fret ting under the marital yoke. They dare not quarrel much now, for fear one will leave the other in the lurch
 He must have his meals cooked, and she must have a place to stay. To- gether they are happy now, and the bargain promises to last to the end.
