WILL HELP THE CITY
Westlake Residents Don't Like Judge
Morrison's Oil Decision

The Westlake Park Improvement asso
ton, by its secretary, j. c. Foy, yesterda.
fled with the city clerk for presentation
to the council a letter, in which it is sug
gested that the city Immediately take step
to contest the recent decision of Polio,
Judge Morrison on the coil limit ordinance.
as to methods are made anC
offers of help from the association, botl
morally and financially. The communica
ton in full reads:
The executive committee OF the
Westlake Park Improvement associa-
tion herewith beg to draw the
attention of your honorable body
to the recent decision Of Police Judge
Morrison, declaring the ordinance
protecting Westake park from encroach.
ments of oil derricks as unconstitutional.
Inasmuch as the public property as
represented by both Westlake park and
Sunset park is liable to be jeopardzed in
usefulness and value if this decision rests
upon valid grounds we regard it the ur-
gent duty of you, as guardians of our
city property. to take steps to see that
the city's rights are fully and carefully
protected in the superior courts. where
lHe case Will uItlHldttlN ne ueclUeU.
The city attorneys office is now fully
occupied with the water case, and we
respectfully suggest that the same steps
that were taken to protect the city's
interests in the water case be adopted
viz the retention of outside associate
counsel to assist the city attorney
Fresh air from the parks is as important
as good water and each should be pre-
served.
Inasmuch as the city is already en-
ploying associate counsel for the water
case. we venture to suggest that the same
gentlemen could probably be employed
to greater advantage and convenience,
and possibly economy than fresh coun-
sci. We, on our part, stand ready and
willing to do more than our share of the
work and shouldering the expense of
aiding the upholding of the ordinance,
but at the same time we insist upon
pointing out that the protection of the
public parks is decidedly more of pub
lie than a private affair, and that the
city should not shirk its plain duties in
the matter.

out is claimed by the opponents OF the
measure as their principal objection. At
present there is no method of meeting such
demands save by an appropriation IRON
the cash fund.- and it is averred that In Its
present condition, within few years the
city would be seriously hampered by the
accumuating demands for repairs, etc. The
law covering the subject reads as follows;
Whenever any street or portion OF
street has been or shall hereafter be
fully constructed to the satisfaction OF
the superintendent OF streets and OF
the city council and is in good condi-
ton throughout, and a sewer, gas pipes
and water pipes are laid therein, under
such regulations as the city council
shall adopt, the same shall be accepted
by the city council by ordinance and
thereafter shall be kept in repair and
improved by the said municipality; the
expense thereof, together with the as
sessment for the street work done in
front of city property, to be paid out
of fund to be provided by said coun-
ell for that purpose.
At present there is no such fund to draw
upon and one must be created.
Councilman Toll is the most outspoken
opponent of the new departure and while
he was defeated on Monday promises to
rally again to the attack. AT the next meet
ing there will undoubtedly be one or more
motions that other paved streets be ac-
cepted, which will precipitate anew the
whole question.

MORE APPOINTMENTS
City Hall Deputies and Office Holders
Being Named

Politics still continues to be "done" at
the city hall, although in far different
manner from that of few weeks ago.
Now the corridors are Uttered up with
good things looking for job-the fatter
the better-and the unlucky officeholder
elect who shows up is Immediately button
holed and talked to turn. Appointments
continue to be announced, although it will
be several weeks yet before all is settled
for the new year.
A caucus of the Republican members of
the incoming council will undoubtedly be
held the latter part of the week or the
first of next, at which the majority will
agree upon the president of the council, the
boiler inspector, oil inspector, health de
partment staff, etc. Councilman Silver will
have no opposition to succeeding himself
as president of the council.
Councilman Blanchard, who has been
chairman of the board of public works for
two years, wants the place again. Council
man l.. f. Vetter is also an aspirant.
Councilman Todd may secure the chair
manship of the building committee, while
the zanja committee may again go to Coun
Gilman Pessell. Councilman Toll desires
the new finance committee. Councilman
W. ii. Pierce is after a place on the board
of public works. The Democratic member
of the board is said to be Councilman Rob-
ert A. Todd.
Late yesterday afternoon it was an
nounced that Mayor-elect Eaton had ap-
pointed Edward Dalton Of the Sixth ward
to be zanjero or water overseer. The new
superintendent of buildings is to be Frank
d. Hudson, an architect who Isl we'll known
in the building trades. Clerk Trowbridge
was yesterday receiving congratulations on
his appointment and merited recognition.
1t is said that DR.. L. M. Powers is to sue
ceed himself as health officer, although a
Democrat, owing to the fact that many of
the physicians of the city desire that no
change be made, as DR.. Powers is acknowl-
edged to be one of the most efficient men
who ever filled the position of health in
fcer, besides being an enthusiast in sanitary
and hygenic work. His reappointment
would probably mean that the present board
of health would remain as at present consti.
tuted.
Invitations have been sent out by Ferd
K Rule, chairman of the Republican city

publican nominees, which will be held in

WOMEN IN TROUBLE
Mrs. Simpson Sat Tight-Emma's s
Neutrality-suspicious. Mistake

Nette Simpson thinks there is no place
like home, even il it is located in a l2xl2
shack. She vehemently resisted being eject
eG' from that place yesterday when Ben Il.
Wady wanted her to leave. Wady tried
arguments and various diplomatic means.
Finally Wady had to appeal to the law to
rid him of his tenant. Mrs. Simpson was
charged with having committed misde-
meanor in retaining possession. She was
arraigned before Police Judge Morrison
yesterday, who set her trial for tomorrow.
The Morrison-Maine feud has broken Oh i.
afresh, with the usual result that Emma
Morrison found herself arrested yesterday
on charge Of disturbing the peace. Mrs
Josie n. Maine of Sl9 Hemlocl street
charges Emma with having used foul, abus-
i've and generally bad language before her
and other women. Emma denies the soft
impeachment. As Emma was arrested sew
eral days ago on a similar charge, and her
trial was set for the 18th, Police Judge Nor
rison yesterday set the second trial for the
same time.
Ethel Lawrence, woman of easy virtue,
related to Police Judge Morrison yesterday
how she had been abused by d. Robbins and
crown ol iilenus. Iney stopped IN front
of her window and tried to cause trouble
Robbins said that if she got fresh he
would cause her arrest and she would be
fined So He had things fixed" and he
would escape without paying fine. Rob
bins was right regarding the woman, but
wrong about his own fate. He and the wo.
man were arrested and she was fined S. for
disturbing the peace. Robbins entered
plea of guilty yesterday and was given a
similar fine by Police Judge Morrison Both
fines were paid.

Fire Engine Bids

AT today's meeting of the fire commits
sion it is expected that the consideration OF
bids for five fire engines for the department,
which were opened by the council Monday,
may be taken up. Three firms, the Ameri-
can Engine company, the La France and the
Amoskeag, are represented, and the fight
will be to secure the whole order if posi-
BILE for one firm instead of having the order
divided as in the case of recent hose bids
Although there is combine among five
engine makers which has kept the prices
practically the same in all the bids, it is
expected that lively contest for the order
will be made, as it means the handling OF
some 100000 of the city's money by the sue.

Awaiting Icentiticatio

Patrolman Smiley of Em's patrol agency
was able to recover six stolen chickens last
Saturday morning, but the thief got away.
Early that day man appeared at the corner
of Fifth street and Broadway, with sack
full of chickens and offered to dispose of the
birds to a tamale man. Before the latter
could negotiate for even some of the feathers
Smiley hove in sight, and started to question
the possessor of the birds. The questions
were evidently of an embarrassing nature,
for the man dropped the sack and ran away.

much surprise when later word told of
trouble in Pekin. At first IL was
that the Empress DoWager had been
assassinated, but afterward report said
that the Emperor had been poisoned by
one of the grand secretaries, who had IN
vited him 10 feast Though very sick,
it was possible that he might recover. The
Empress Dowager is managing affairs in
the interior. Many have been arrested and
severl heads have been taken off. We do
not know just how it is. These are only
rumors and may be much modified by later
news Still, it shows that the course of
reform does not run smooth. These silk
gowned and long-fnger Sons of
Pride are so stuffed with Confucianism and
the love of the way of the ancients that
we are practically presented with the oid
problem of what is going to happen when
an irresistible force strikes a fixed, i'm
penetrable body. For reform must come;
its spirit is abroad in the land, and the
force of its movements is quite as ire
sistibe as the conservatism of these so
called scholars is immobile.
These things naturally affect our work
as missionaries. The people realize that
great changes are about to come to pass.
Those who are capable are doing more or
less thinking. They know that the En-
peror is under the influence of foreign
learning, and are thus disposed to be more
friendly to the foreigner, and more ready
to converse with him. We think we can
perceive a considerable improvement in
these respects here in our own vicinity.
1t is our hope that eventually the bar
riers of prejudice and persecution, which
have hindered many from considering the
claims of the gospel will be largely re-
moved. We may all well pray our God to
preserve and direct the young Emperor
of China
In his letter Mr.. King wrote of his in
tention to return home next year to visit
his mother. While the letter was on its

A DOG AS A WEDDING USHER.
Miss HOrwitx' Pet Fox Terrier Takes
Part in the Ceremony.
From the New York Times.


The wedding of Francis B. Stevens, Jr.,
of Hoboken, N. j., and Miss Adele Hor-
witt of Baltimore, Md, which took place
in Baltimore on Tuesday, had several re-
markable features which have set Balti-
more society talking. There was neither
maid of honor nor bridesmaid, but the
bride entered the drawing room accompa-
MED by her pet fox terrier, Jock, around
whose collar were entwined orange blos-
SONS, from which steamers of white rib
bons flowed. During the ceremony jock
after viewing the guests, sat upon the
feet of his mistress. Mr.. and Mrs Benja-
min F. Horwitz gave their daughter dia-
mond clasps for her slippers, and her gown
was so arranged that these CONNECTIONS of
white Liberty velvet and their jeweled
fastenings could be seen by the guests.
After the wedding the friends of Mrs.
Stevens paid her back in her own coin
for the many practical jokes which she
has been wont to play upon the society
people of her native city. The carriage
which conveyed the bridal couple to the
station was decorated with various we'd
ding articles, and created a sensation as
il drove through the streets of Baltimore
Long streamers of white ribbon were
tied at every possible point of vantage,
and placards announcing that the occu-
pants were bride and bridegroom were at
tached to the sides and rear.

serve.
The railroads have made very low
rate and the schedules will be srch that
you can go down in the morning and
back at night and you will thus save
hotel bills and at q very small outlay Of
