TOUGH ON THE TOWNS.
City Should Be More Careful Than
Ever About Bad Sidewalks.

This city should be mighty careful
to have its sidewalks in shape and
avoid any more suits for damages.
Under the present law case against
the city need not be filed until two
wears after the accident occurred. OF
course the sidewalk surroundings are
changed by that time and the possible
witnesses beyond summons. The
city can scarcely make up a case,
while the plaintiff has been for two
years arranging to assault the munic-
;pality. The law ought to be changed
making it compulsory on the injured
person to bring his suit within thirty
days after the accident.
Another discrepancy Is the fact
that no citizen in the town can sit on
the jury. 1t frequently happens in
consequence that country gentle
man, who has it in for city folks and
cities in general anyway, gets on the
Jury and socks it to the corporation
good and strong.

Death Of G. B. Maxwell.

G. b. Maxwell, travelling passenger
agent Of the Union Pacific, who is
well known in Abilene, died Saturday
In Kansas City and was buried from
there Sunday, interment being made
in Topeka The news Of the death of
Mr.. Maxwell will not be in the nature
Of surprise to the intimate acquain-
tances Of the man for he has been all
ing long time. 1t will nevertheless
be melancholy intelligence. Than
Mr.. Maxwell few railroad men were
better known and none better liked
For seventeen years he has been with
the Union Pacific, all that time serv-
ing his employers well and making
friends for himself, He was loyal to
both. The road lost a faithful SER
want and his acquaintance lost a man
whose loss they could i'll afford.

On August first, a strange little
ceremony took place at Ponce, Porto
Rico, at General Wilson's headquar-
tiers. when Rosendo Cintron, the first
local judge appointed by the United
States was sworn into office. He was
required to swear allegiance to the
United States SO long as the island
was occupied by her troops, and TO
"renounce all fidelity to every foreign
prince or potentate, and particularly
the queen regent Of SPAIN" The oath
was administered by Colonel Clous.

history of the United States that the
Judges of a foreign and hostile but
conquered country have sworn to sup
port THE constitution Of the United
States. This is all that was demand
ed of the Porto Ricans.

for inducing attendance at their lodge.
Numbers are issued every week to
members who attend and each mem
Der is entitled to draw. The person
whose numbers foot up the largest
total at the end Of the month gets his
assessment paid. Now the lodge
room will hardly hold the crowd that
attend. Some Abilene lodges might

The situation with regard to the striking
painters remains unchanged so far as the
master painters are concerned. The meet
ing of the contending forces which was
scheduled for yesterday amounted to moth
ing and it is the intention of the master
painters to stick to their position as long
as possible. Their claim is that when any
of their workmen stick to them during
trying time they will stick to them in re-
turn. Members of the organization last
night said that the association, while ready
to meet the men fairly on any question or
wages or other matters in which they have
a mutual interest, will not become party
to any attempt on the part of the union
to fine men who have offended the union
because of services and favors granted to
the firms when such services, which should
entitle them to the good will of the firm, is
the basis of the request that the firm assist
in disciplining them. Such conduct, accord
ing to the master painters, would neither
be manly nor even honest, and as the union
does not seem disposed to consider any other
proposition the master painters feel that
there is little they can do to settle the mat
ter.

MeridiaD-street Pew Letting.

The annual pew-letting at the Meridian
street Nj. T.. Church occurred last night
About $50 members were in attendance at
different times during the evening and ex-
hibited considerable enthusiasm in the sale
OF seats for the coming year. Few Of the
pews changed hands, however, and except.
ing that the increased membership brought
the reserve seats into demand, there was
little change in the makeup of the plat
from that of last year. Prices, however
were uniformly higher. and while the
amounts paid were not at ali alike, the in
crease was general. 1t is estimated that
the receipts from pews compared with that
of last year will be Increased at least 81 600
The actual price of the seats, however. does
not in reality tell what the revenue is from
them, as several members who are charged
with $40 a year-the highest rent scheduled
lin reality give as high as $500 year for
their pew. The primary result of the sale
last night was that there is not now seat
on the main floor of the church which has
not been Sold but this according to one
of the members of the finance committees
viii not in any way prevent strangers from
finding both a seat and a welcome when
they come.
