Business Brought Before Them

The city council met last night
with the following members
present: Chairman pro tenn
Smith, Councilmen Edwards,
Livingston, Davis and McCona-
thy, City Attorney Alfred, Treas
urer Moody, Acting Electrical
superintendent NOrcrOSS, Mar
shal Williams and Sanitary In
spector Williamson
Clerk Dozier read the minutes
or the previous meeting, which
were ordered approved after
Slight corrections.
Mr.. NOrcrOSS, for the General
Electric Company, asked why the
company had not received its
July scrip. He said they were
ready to pay the taxes, held as
an offset, at any time when the
amount was known.
On motion of Davis, it was
agreed to pay the amount, less
the amount Of the state and
county taxes due on the plant,
using the year 1896 as basis.
A communication was read
from Fire Chief Carmichael, ask
ing that the city furnish him
with u horse and vehicle to go to
fires, as he had heretofore fur
nlShed one Of his own at great
expense and was unable to do so
longer. He stated that he would
be compelled to resign if the re
quest was not complied with.
Referred to fire committee.
A communication was read
from N. G. Jones, asking to be
appointed an officer to cmpOund
cattle. Referred to police com
mittcc.
Captain Ditto, Rev. Hilburn
and #. p. GalrnrN, representing
the Methodist church, came be
fore the council and asked for q
reduction III the price of electric
lights in the church. They said
the charges We're 81 per month
and the meter showed only $1,5C
worth used per month. The
council here, unwittingly resolved
itself into a church committee
and fell to discussing the matte
OF lights in the different churches
1t was found that the Methodist
CathoIlc and Mount Morlah Bap
tst churches use electric lights
The matter was referred to th'
light and water committee Will
power to act.
The ordinance relating to tn
issuing Of bonds to take up an(

been provided for, and was don
by the attorney. TO rcmOv" an
probability of doubt as to it
validity, the ordinance was pIl
on it's first reading as a new OF
dmanCe. This was done on mo
tion by Livingston, and the ord
nance was referred to the iudi

Death of Miss Frances Willard.

BY the death of Miss Frances Willard
gap has been left in the great army o.
Christian workers it will be hard to fill.
Perhaps no woman was more widely
known and more universally respected.
She was an earnest advocate of temper
ance, to which cause she devoted her
life, and at the time of her death she
was president of both the National and
International Womans Christian Tenn
perance unions, of which she was the
founder quarter Of century ago.
Miss Willard commenced the battle
of life as a teacher in the female depart
ment Of the northwestern university.
She was an incisive ard eloquent speak
er, and her voice was often heard from
the pulpit and platform advocating the
cause of temperance. Measured by the
number Of local unions and the total
membership of the w. c. T. T., and
taking into account its great influence
for good, Miss Williard's life was
blessing to humanity, and her memory
will long remain to cheer those who
are left to keep up the good work of
which she was the pioneer.
She was buIied at Evanston, ILL.,, on
Thursday, the oath.

By vote of Ii to the mayors veto
of the resolution Of Aid. Henle in favor
Of the annuiment of the franchise of
the water company was overridden, and
the city attorney instructed o take pro-
ceedin.s against the company immedi-
ately. The reason given by the mayor
for vetoin. the resolution was that the
city VAS not in position to enter upon

it is also true that il has only been by
ii-htin: tue company that the council
has been able to get anything. We do
not want to fight the company, because
we shodld not have to fight it; the city
council has Justice on its side. The
company agreed to furnish pure water,
but it has never done so. and it is better
that il should be made to do so than
that the people should be compelled to

mayor means we'll, he knows that the

have pure water even though the Water.

'ANCEL OF THE STEERACE."
Name Given to the Daughter of Rich

On her latest trip from Amsterdam
to New York the ocean liner Werken-
dam had for a steerage passenger
young woman whose air, manner and
speech clearly showed that she would
have been entirely at home among the
saloon passengers. This was Miss
Marie Lowenthal and she Travelled
among the poor with the sole object
or having greater opportunity TO
cheer and help them during the voyage
across the Atlantic. On the trip she
earned the title queen of the steer

was followed by hearty EXPLANATIONS

her father, who is one OF the richest
furriers in Amsterdam. His confidence
in his daughters business judgment is
shown by the fact that he trusts to her
care the conclusion Of a heavy deal
IN which she IS interested. Though a
steerage passenger, she dressed IN

day. for casting a doubt upon the hon

ton to have congressional committee
appointed to investigate the cause of

much better without rhem.

itself with guilt and everlasting shame
the other day when its citizens shot

justifiable and brutal crime never was
committed, and it is the duty of the
government to have the murderers
punished. Such deeds should not be
possible i'll this country.

WAITING.

The past week has been one of com
paratve calm throughout the country,
the people, with few exceptions, hav-
ing wisely decided to possess their souls
III peace until the report of the
Board of Inquiry, now in session
in Havana, makes plain the cause of the
disaster to the battleship Maine. While
il is very possible that it will be shown
that the explosion was internal, and
therefore not the result Of treach
cry, still. occurring when and where it
did, the American people were not to
blame if they became excited and said
things that, in calmer moments. they
would not have said, and they have
reason to be thankful that their chief
magistrate did not let their jingoism
influence him to let loose the dogs Of
war. An old soldier, and aware of the
dangers ever present where explosives
are kept, and knowing that accidents
happen on the best of regulated ships,
he was not prepared to condemn a ma
ton without being sure he was right. He
preferred to wait, and we are satisfied
that the result of the inquiry will justify
his action. War would be a terrible
alternative under any circumstances,
but an unjust war is not TO be thought
Of. 1t wonld bring down on us all the
nations of Europe, and no man could
foretell the result. But there is no fear
Of war with Spain as a result of the
loss Ct the Maine. Nobody believes
that the Spanish government insti
gated the blowing up of ship of a
friendly nation The thought is scarcely
less repulsiye to the mind Of a civilized
being than the deed would be. Yes,
there is some self respect and fear of
God let in the Spanish nation yet,
10 matter what may be said to the con
trary.

Paws for Ills Theatcr Ticket.

From London Answers: Contrary
to general belief, royalty does not pos
sess the privilege of free admission at
the theaters When the Prince OF
Wales, for instance, visits the theater.
the expenditure for box hire alone
amounts to $40. This is an unwritten
law at court. whether the theater
boasts of royal box or not. With one
or two exceptions the royal box Is not
reserved exclusively for royalty, and 1t
can be hired by any enc who cares to
pay the price-about twice as much as
is charged for the private boxes. The
exceptions are the Theater Royal.
Drury Lane, the Italian Opera and the
HaymarEet Theater. Although the
royal box is open to the public, very
few OF those who can afford it care to
occupy it. The upper ten" shun 1t,
for to be seen in that box is to be stig-
matized as rank outsider, a mauveau
richie, or a foreigner who knows no
better.

COW BELLS.
Made Now In just the Same Form A.
for Many, Many Years.

Made Now IN just the Same Form As
for Many. Many Years.
One of the comparatively few things
that the hand Of improvement has not
touched is the cow bell, which is made
now just as it was fifty, 100 and more
years ago, and has now just the same
peculiar, clanking sound as ever. Cow
bells are made, some Of copper and
some Of a composition metal, but most
Of them are made of iron and finished
with a coating Of bronze. The cow
bell IS not cast; it Is cut from a sheet
and riveted. The metal loop at the
top through which the strap is passed
Is riveted into the bell. Cow bells are
made of ten sizes, whose sounds range
through an octave. Sometimes must
cal entertainers who play upon bells OF
one sort and another come to the man
ufacturer, and by selection among bells
of the various sizes find eight bells
that are accurate in scale. There are
only four factories in the United
States in which cow bells are made.
and in each case the COW bell Is only
an item of production among many
other things Cow bells are sold all
over the country, just the same as ever,
but much the greater number are sold
In the South, the Southwest and the
West, where farms are larger, less
likely to be under fence, and cattle
are more likely 20 stray. There are
sold in those parts Of the country 100
dozen COW bells 10 every ten dozen
sold in the East American COW bells
are exported to the various countries
Of South America and to Australia
