of Mr.. Ferguson, said his client was the
owner of all the property on the south side
of Third street between Clay and Hill
streets, and asked that the sidewalks be
widened to ten feet. c. +. Stamps, who
owns almost the entire frontage on the
north side, also requested that the roadway
on the north side Of the street be aban-
doned and it be converted into ten-fool
sidewalk, thus allowing two feet to be added
to the sidewalk on the other side, making
it an eight-foot walk.
The protestants argued that the change
could be made in the plans without doing
anybody an injury or causing any change
to speak of in the tunnel itself.
AT the request of Mr.. Mathuss Mr.. King
of the city engineers department was called
in and questioned as to the effect the pro-
posed change would make in the tunnel it.
self. lie informed the board that prac-
tically there would be no change, other than
that the tunnel would be commenced at
points few feet north of those originally
intended as its boundaries.
The board seemed favorable and might
have granted the request had not Council
man Toll of the Fifth ward appeared on
the scene and taken hand in the proceed
ings. Mr.. Tolls first question was: GLOW
do the Clay street people feel in regard to
the matter?" Mr.. Mcfarland said they had
not complained, but it later developed that
they were not aware of the proposed change.
at is my opinion" said Mr.. Toll, "that
when the residents of Clay street learn that
their Third street outlet is to be taken from
them they would enter strong objection"
He held that as Clay street only ran from
Fourth to Third street, it would be seri.
Gus matter to make the Third street end
valueless so far as affording an outlet to
Hill street was concerned.
On the other hand, the protestants
claimed that in all respects, with the excep-
tion of name, Clay street was an alley, and
held that at present it was almost impos-
sible to use Third street to reach it. Mr..
Ferguson said that even the mikmen
walked up aud down the hill to deliver their
milk. "And you all know" he added,
"that those fellows drive where the devil
is afraid to walk
Mr.. King remarked that the grade was
70 steep on Third street that it would be
very hard to put in serviceable surface.
He explained that asphalt and cobblestone
pavement would be too slippery and that
dirt would wash in rainy weather Council
man Toll admitted this was without doubt
true, but the fact still remained that Clay
street property owners had not been con.
suited with regard to the change, and adj
vised the board to take the matter under
advisemcnt, which it did.

Results of the Late War" by Judge w.

Consul General, Congressman New
lands Of Nevada and Rev. II. Stebbins.
rhe discussion was opened by Mr.
Newlands, who spoke mainly of the
problems consequent upon the acquisi-
ton of Hawaii, Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippine group, and the problem
of governing the latter in case they are
annexed. He said:
The scheme of outgrowth as a ma
ton has made necessary the acquisi-
ton of islands contiguous to our coast,
which, in the event Of war, might be
made the base of attack by foreign
foe.
In the future the navies of the
WOfIG VIII De concentrated on the ASIA
tic coast, but no attack on our shores
can be made without coaling station
The Hawaiian Islands offer this.
1--WE have been drifting into policy
and now we have drifted so far that
we cannot go back. We cannot drive
the islands back to Spain. That would
be a crime against humanity. We can
not leave them with the natives. That
would be to give them over TO anarchy.
But there are grave problems in
volved in holding them. Their govern
ment is a problem which must be seri-
ously considered. 1t certainly would
not do to hand them over to politi-
clans, as we have enough experience
with political schemers right here I'M
der our own eyes.
Il think the government and care OF
the islands would be perfectly safe in
! tn hands Of the navy"

The House of Too Much Trouble

In the House of Too Much Trouble
Lived q lonely little boy;
He was eager for a playmate,
He was hungry for a toy.
But twas always too much bother,
Too much dirt, and too much noise,
For the House of Too Much Trouble
Wasn't meant for little boys.
And sometimes the little fellow
Left a book upon the floor,
Or forgot and laughed too loudly,
Or he failed to close the door.
In a House of Too Much Trouble
Things must be precise and trim
In House of Too Much Trouble
There was little room for him.
He must never scatter playthings,
He must never rOmp and play;
Ev'ry room must be in order
And kept quiet all the day.
He had never had companions,
He had never owned pet
In the House of Too Much Trouble
1t is trim and quiet yet.
Fv'rv room IS set in order
Every book is in it's place,
Ard the lonely little fellow
Wears smile upon his face.
In the House of Too Much Trouble
He is silent and at rest
In the House Of Too Much Trouble,
With a lily on his breast.

Major Shanley's Christmas Edi.
tOriai,

Harner's Monthly; "Once again is
ushered in that blessed season of glad
ness wherein it is vouchsafed to us to
forgive our enemies and do good
where we may. Forgiyeness-how
beautiful thing it is In conducting
an honest and fearless paper ike the
"Nindicator" we have naturally made
many enemies. When you tell the
truth about scoundrel, you, of course,
make him your enemy. This is what
we have done in scores of cases. But
on this calm day of peace we forgive
them all gladly. The quality of mercy
is not .prained. Even old Bill Winter
bottom, who runs that rag which he
thinks is newspaper, even this old
double-dyed blot on the face of nature
is forgiven. Forgiveness can no further
go. He probably doesn't know the
meaning of the word forgiveness, but
he's got il just the same, gladly. But
We ask for no credit in thus forgiving
our enemies. For, like virtue, forgive
ness is It's own reward. Kind hearts
are more than coronets. There ID Il
feeling Of exutation, OF gladness unut-
terabie, when one knows that he has
forgiven his enemies, and made his
peace with the whole world. 1t isn't
our iault that the old boa-constructor
doesn't know the meaning of the word
forgiveness. We stand willing to print
the word On three sheet poster, and
go around and ram it down his cavern
GUS throat. If he wants us to, We'll load
our shotgun with type which spells the
word, and shoot it into his worthless
body ,free!yand fully This is not a season
for reserve, or for waiting Tor others to
do what is right. Let every man look
into his own heart, and ask himself,
Have | done right ?' Old Bill can't
do tins, because the inside Of his heart
is SO dark and black that he can't see
ANYTHING; but the rest OF us can. Christ
mas comes but once year 1t is a
flower on the prickly stalk of the twelve
month. To-day your enemy is your
brother. Make glad some heart ,
Brighten some life And, above Al
scatter forgiveness and kind words even
as the sower scattcreth the seed of
spring-time. 1t is what We, personally,
do every Christmas. Sacred truth, awe
compelling act, even, shall be sup
pressed to-day in the interest of the
beautiful brotherhood o. men. We

Christmas at the Nelson Dewey.

The work of both teachers aud pupils
at the Nelson Dewey deserves especial
mention, particularly for their artistic
and painstaking decorations and enter
tanning programs, prepared for the
Christmas celebration, and also for
their faithful and efficient service thus
far in the year. The school has been
crowded to over flowing from the start,
consequently the work has been much
harder than the sy stem usually follow
ed anticipates or recommends, and yet
the grades are up to the standard in
every instance.
Our people should not fail to visit the
school especially on festive days, wien
they may gain from the special exhibl-
lions of drawing, decorating, singing
and recitations, very good idea of the
every day painstaking work of both
teacher and pupil. One word at this
time regarding the prompt and regular
attendance Of pupils. We are pleased to
say there has been a great advance
along this line, but there is still room
tor, mprovement.Th This is one ofthe most
important factors to successful work in
the child's lie and the teacher cannot
be blamed Tor failure if the pupil does
not attend regularly.
1t would not be just 20 say that one
room was prettIer than another, or that
the programs were not equally good
for one ana all in some especial and in
dIvidual way compared fayorably. This
individuality, which is possessed to
marke degree by tie Nelson Dewey
teachers Is great advantage in school
work as well az in any other line, and
should be cultivated and encouraged in
the pupil as well as the teacher In
the primary rooms Miss Mccormick,
Miss Manwaring, Miss Kennedy and
Mrs. Lynch all had trees, while the
kindergartners had something to suit
themselves, and not quite so conyen
tional as a tree. The afternoon was Civ
en- oyer to the exercises. Everybody
seemed very happy at the Nelson Dew
ey build ng, this Friday morning, and a
Merry Christmas seemed to be the
universal greeting among both old and
young. May no one be disappointed"
