The new council has assembled ard
will be organized for business ~ soon
an the committees have been appointed.
A high compliment was paid TO Maj
Rfnehart by his selection a. president
Of the bsdy Although . new member.
he has had considerable experience In
the business Of the city. and is a man
who. amid all the vicissitudes OF po-
lisicai life. has retained the respect and
confidence of the people. The fact that
his nomination was seconded by =
member elected on the fusion ticket In
ample testimony to the faith even po-
Ltical opponents have in his impartial
lily and integrity.
lie seemed to speak for the people In
the remarks which he addressed to the
council on assuming the office. The
opposition. although In the minority.
has larger representation than 1t has
had In the city council for many years.
but the character Of the men justifies
the belief that they will deserve the
compliment paid by them by the new
president. and that they will subord-
mate all partisan feelings to the gen.
eral welfare OF the city. A minority
can do far more 90 win approval by ju-
diciously working with the majority
than by seeking every opportunity to
thwart q proposition for little better
reason than that IL Ii suggested By one
OF the majority. The president can do
very much 10 bring about the result he
processes a desire TO see by himself for
getting that any member belongs to
either the majority or the minority. and
giving each one. without discrimina-
ton. equal prominence and equal atten-
ton.
II would be unjust while looking to
the future to pass over without a de-
served compliment the services render
ed by Dr. j. E. Crichton. who has, for
four years. been the presiding officer.
A man cannot occupy that position and
be- always free. but no has succeeded
Ia holding a very difficult position with
dignity and an evident desire to be fair.

THAT NEW RAILROAD.

The Tacoma Ledger. which II .

Rad. and = Eesstle Newspaper. which

the proposed railroad from Portland to
Seattle II a fake and . mere franchise

tuds being understood. and their ex-
pressions being inspired. or In supposed
accord with the views and interests Of
their patrons. the merits Of the appli-
cation tho company has made for u
franchise on Railroad avenue are not
at all affected by their assaults.
The Post knows no more
about the British Columbia, Seattle
and Pacific Coast Company than it has
given TO the public. II does not youch
Tor the proposition. and II has not as
sumed 10 say that its promoters are

They have asked fer franchise on
Railroad avenue. and thay express
themselves IA willing 10 accept oner-
Gus conditions that the work ef con-
struetion will begin at once. and that

months. Tais Ia an extraordinary
pledge and on It's face seems to assure
the entire good faith of the company.

ROBBERY OF STAMPS.
French National Collection Loses
1000 Specimens by Theft.

| FROM the PaFlS Herald.
Probably few people outside the little
world Of stamp collectors are aware
that France possesses a valuable ma
tional collection of foreign postage
stamps. There is such a collection,
however, and it has just been despoiled
Of a part Of its treasures mCst likely
by some INSCRIPTIONS person connect
ed with the postal administration.
The countries comprised in the inter-
national postal union-that is to say.
practically all the civilized nations of
the world and not a few semi barbar-
Gus states-are bound by convention to
supply a certain number of specimens
of their new issues of postage stamps
to the headquarters of the union at
Berne, whence some of them are sent
70 each Of the countries interested
France receives five copies. and one Of
these is placed in the national collec-
tlon, which has now been in forma-
ton for about twenty ears.
The stamps are stuck on sheets Of
cardboard. which are bound and kept
la four special cupboards provided with
safety locks, and are seldom disturbed:
but once year, in September, the new
issues of the last twelve months, which
are kept in envelopes until that date,
are added to the collection
NJ. Guillaumnn, to whom this duty is
Entrusted, has been many years in in
the service and enjoys the fullest con-
f1dence Of his superiors. On Sept 20
last, says the Temps, the new stamps
were handed over to him, and he
brought some Of the cards from the
cupboards to his private office, careful
ly locking the doors after he had taken
them out He was absent for a week,
but at last finished his task and, four
days ago, went to replace the sheets in
the cupboards. The doors were pro-
perry locked, but, to his surprise he

He counted the sheets and found

disappeared, yet no one but himself
had opened the collection for a year.
Inc theft must have been committed
either during his absence or while he
was engaged in arranging the new
stamps. Two hundred sheets, those
containing about 1000 OF the Oldest
specimens in the collection, were miss
ing, and, although it is not vet posi-
DIE to estimate the extent of the loss,
1t must be very considerable Many of
the stamps represent a high face value.
while others, though Of small amounts,
would command large prices in the
market.
The under secretaryof state was at
once Informed, and questioned all the
employees Of the department, but failed
to obtain any information. The cir
cumstances Of the theft point to the
conclusion that 1t must have been per-
retrated by some one familiar with
The working Of the office, probably by
some one employed in it, but no clew
has yet been found. The matter has
Of course, been placed in the hands Of
the detective police. and a sharp look
out Is being kept by the leading stamp
dealers and at the Bourse des Timbres
in case the thief should try to dispose
of his booty.

TOUCH OF NATURE.
Pretty Girl Comes to an Old
WOman's Rescue.

From the Chicago Times-Herald
poor old woman travelled painfully down
south State street the other morning Just
at the crowded hour Of noon She was Stout
OF form and plain OF feature and she walked
slowly along with a Derceptihle linn while
her face grew darlUy red and she wheeZed
and sighed with the exertion of bearing un-
usual burdens. Under the left arm lay a
huge ball of wearing apparel tied up in a
forlOrn striped shawl. Her right hand minus
a gloye, carried a large basket of Concord
grapes, and 10 add to its weight and preserve

the poor old woman trudged painfully toward
the south. jOstled in turn by hurryiug shop
pers and smart pedestrians. who thought she
occupied 100 much of the limited sidewalk
space. Two or three times the basket of
grapes was knocked abruptly against the
knees OF its burdenCd possessor, while the
TWO cans OF vegetables were perilously close

At last the expected happened. A man
hurriedly flying toward the north bumped
clumsiy against the fruit and the shock sent

sidewalk. OF course IL rolled TO the rear OF
the poor old woman. who stood helpless.y
trying to peer over her shoulder while
caught in jam that temporarily prevented
her from turning around.
But aid arrived from an unexpected quar-
ter. Quick as a fash pretty girl stylishly
gowned in a tailor suit of brown saw the
accident and the distressed countenance OF
