DELAY IN OPENING BIDS.
iIeEes May Not Be known for
Three Weeks.


The bids for the hotel and stand privi-
leges at the Union depot were not opened
yesterday and it was said they might not
be decided until the executive committee OF
the depot company is called together IN
about two weeks.
This is the first time in the twenty-one
years of the depot company that privileges
have been let to bidders. The BLOSSOM
estate and Mr.. Doggett have handed the
hotel and lunch counters from the nrst anu
the news, cigar, check and fruit STANDS
have been controlled from the first by ).
F. Cosby. Mr.. Doggett was one OF the
bidders for the part he has formerly CON
trolled and Mr.. Cosby wants the same priv
leges he has had in the past. The speclt-
cations called for separate bids on each
privilege. For the hotel and dining room
the bidders We're Mr.. Doggett and FRED
Harvey. Mr.. Cosby bid for all the stands
he has now. but there were a dozen or
more individual bidders for the single
stands and lunch counters in the two
rooms. 1t is possible that the privileges
may be cut up among n half dozen people.
The lease the company wants to make
is for but three years and contains a pro-
vision enabling the company to cancel! any
of the leases on sixty days notice. mas
much as it requires from $1,000 to $1,000
investment to furnish and run the hotel
and privileges as they are now fitted up,
the siXty-day cancellation right on a three
years lease has attracted much comment
among prospective bidders and shut out
many.

TO ACCOUNT AGE.
1t II Not to BE Reckoned by Years,
but by Wear and
Tear.

It Is ~faIlacious to measure age by years.
1t should be measured by the evidences Of
wear and tear of the machine. Some ma
ture much earlier than others. the same as
fruits and flowers and animals. The period
of decline also sets in much earlier in
some than In others. Some men and women
at 10 are older than others at go. A great
deal can be done in the way of preserving
health, looks and vital powers; and it
should be the endeavor of everyone to solve
this problem. Scientists say that it is even
possible to prolong life far into the second
century. Many instances are on record of
people whose names are given who have
lived to be over 100 years. one lived 145
years; and another even up TO l5, though
these accounts are somewhat discredited
by the modern scientists. The insurance
companies have carefully tabulated the
probabilities of life. and issue their poll
cies with reference to such tables. The diff
ferent periods of life have great influence
on the average of the number of deaths. so
that the figures given do not convey the
proper idea,

ART TURNED TO ACCOUNT.
How to Give Children an Incentive to
Learning-A Good Use for
Pictures.

In these days of abundant illustrated
periodicals many excellent photographs
and prints find their way into the home in
the course of a year. The Boston Herald
tells how one woman utilities them: She
has set aside a room in her house for the
reception of old magazines and illustrated
papers from which the pictures are cut out
and prepared for the use of the public
school teachers down town. Incredible as It
may seem, many children from the slums
Fave never seen, or seen TO notice. some
of the most common country objects; To
such children pictures of flowers. birds,
trees. animals are all incentives to learn
ing. and hence great helps to the teacher
to keep the class interested IN some spe-
cial lesson or story. For school children
in other districts. where the conditions are
better. more advanced pictures are pre-
pared. These are mounted on cardboard,
and serve to illustrate history or biography.
Thus a cardboard with a picture of Abra-
ham Lincoln on one side on the other mas
from the little log cabin to the White
House. A picture Of Washington Is ac-
companied by scenes from Mount Vernon.
.For home uses such pictures will also
afford great pleasure. and 1t is not a bad
habit for a girl or boy to cultivate to col
lect odd and end bits here and there in the
direction Of their hobbies. One l2-year-old

girl is in the habit of saving AIN the pictures

girl is in the habit of saving all the pictures
of authors and their homes which she can
find, and these she slips loosely between the
covers of their works. When she finds
something unusually good she carefully
cuts it out and pastes it on a back fly leaf.
In this way her Little Women abounds
with pictures of the author and her Tim

JUDGE GILL RETURNS.
Was n Visitor to the Quaint City of
Nassau, in the Island of New
Providence.

Judge Gill. of the Kansas City court of
appeals, returned yesterday from a stay
of eight days in the Bahama islands. Most
of the time he spent in the city of Nassau,
on the island of New Providence, which is
only $50 miles from Havana. The judge
said that Notwithstanding the fact that
the island is so close to Cuba, he heard
scarcely any talk there about affairs in
he returned than during all the time he
was away. New Providence is a part of
the British empire. The people are con-
tented, happy. slow going and quaint in
their manners and customs, the judge
said.

MONEY FOR COURT EXPENSES.
Businesslike Manner of due
Court Affairs by the Present
administration

United States Marshal Crenshaw yester-
day received notice that the department of
justice at Washington had forwarded to
him $4,000 for payment of jurors fees and
the expenses of the spring term of federal
court in the different divisions of the dis
trict. Generally the department is late in
forwarding any funds. and the courts are
often seriously embarrassed to meet the
emergencies. The present administration
appreciated the situation and furnished the
money so that there would be no trouble
and the marshal will have no apprehension
of annoyance from that source.

England's Care For Her Soldiers.

Government departments are now
required. to reserve two Thousand posts
annually which will for the future be
bestowed upon soldiers only: $500
ex-soldiers were taken on by the rail-
way companies last year, and strong
appeals are made to the other great
employers of labor to follow their
example, The soldiers life while still
serving with the colors is happier and
for more healthier than at any previ-
Gus period of army history. Soldiers
no longer sleep in the dark and stuffy
places in which they used to be herded
together. Canteens are well organi lied,
and all the profits are spent for the
advantage of the troops. Comforta BILE
quarters are provided for the men
permitted to marry. Recreation room
gymnssia, and bathrooms are Injuries
to which the recruit of twenty years
ago was a complete stranger. In many
English villages the idea still survives
that lad who has enlisted for
soldier has gone to the bad. That
idea is a survival of the time when
the ranks of the army were filled from
the jails, and when the conditions of
the regimental life of our soldiers were
Inconsistent with common decency-
