THE CALLED
SESSION.
The Council Has an Interesting
Meeting - Mayor Lang In.
structed to Sue COntrac.
tor Whites Bondsmen
On Account of the Condition OF
the Streets-Petition for Free
Ferriage Filed With the
COuncil-Other Notes.

The council met in called session
last night, nine members being pres.
ent.
Mayor Lang read the call, after
which joint petition from the resi-
dents Of Pope and Massac counties,
Illinois, through their representative,
Mr.. +. II. Ogden, Of Brooklyn, ask
ing for free ferriage across the river,
both to the upper and lower ferry
landings, in return for the trade it
would bring here.
The matter was referred to the
public improvement committee and a
wholesale and two retail merchants.
The plans for the outlet over Cross
Creek, and to Katterjohn's brick.
yard, were presented, and referred
to the street and public improvement
committees.
Mr.. Elliott read report relative
10 sanitary sewerage, and, as Mr..
Elliott is on the sewerage committee,
and as the sanitary committee had
not been consulted, Chairman Rob-
ertson, OF the sanitary committee,
said he did not think his committee
had not been treated with the proper
courtesy in preparing the report, as
il had been ignored. The matter
was finally referred to the sewerage
and sanitary committees.

provement of Bridge street from
Broad to the Benton gravel road was

THE ROMANCE OF RACE.
You Cannot Always Tell a Mans Ma
tionality BY His Name.

Let us begin, like wise preacher,
with a personal anecdote. Ii hap
pened to me once, many years since,
to be taking class in logic in a
West Indian college. The author Of
our textbook had just learnedly ex-
planned to us that personal proper
names had no real connotation.
Nevertheless" he went on, "they
may sometimes enable us to draw GER
tain true differences. For example, if
we meet man Of the name of John
Smith, we shall at least be justified in
concluding that he is a Teuton." Now,
as it happened, that class contained
a John Smith; and as | read those
words aloud, he looked up in my face
with the expansive smile Of no leu
tonic forefathers; for this John
Smith was pure-bloodcd negro. So
much for the pitfalls of chronological
generalization!
Nevertheless, similar conclusions
on very large scale are often drawn
on grounds as pslpably insufficient as
those of my lOgician, Facts of Ian
guage and facts of race are mixed up
with one another in most admired dis
order. II people happen to speak an
"Aryan" tongue, we dub them Ar
yans. We take it for granted one man
is Scot merely because he is called
Macpherson or Gillespie; we take it
for granted another is an Irishman
on no better evidence than because his
name is Paddy O'Sullivan. Yetasur-
Aey Of some such delusive examples
will suffice TO show that all is not Gel
tic, that speaks with brogue, nor all
Chinese that wears a.pigtail.-Grant

POOR OLD FOLK.
Bow They Fare in the Various Countries
Of Europe.


of Europe.
! As no one can remain youngalways,
ii is not inadvisable to look about in
these days Of easy travel, to find what
part Of the world treats its old folks
best. Happily for those who cannot
siTord 10 make a personal investiga-
ton, an article by Edith Sellers APP
pears in Temple Bar, telling graphic
ally ''lIow the Poor Old Folk Fare in
Other Lands"
France provides sumptuously for
the lucky one-fourth of the poor old
folk for whom there is room in the
hospices. The rest are left to starve
outside. Germany has an old age PEN
sion law which gives pittances to
workrgmen over 20 who have con-
tributcd regularly to the fund during
the required 80 years. Widows, mar
ried women and men who have not
had regular employment-the very
ones who stand most in need Of a help
ing hand-receive nothing. The
highest pensioner receives less than
$50 year.
Denmark and Austria are more hos
pitable. Both treat their aged poor
with wisdom and kindness. Denmark
sends the thriftless 10 the workhouse,
but gives pensions or comfortable old
age homes to worthy poor, where they
may end their days without want.
Austria goes beyond Denmark even
by providing respectful and kindly
entertainment for all the poor over
60, whether worthy or thriftIess. The
Nersorgungshauser, where they live,
are the most charming old-age retreats
in all Europe. In Holland the care
Of the worthy aged poor is considered
a religious duty, and the churches see
to it that none Of their poor old folks
are unprovided for. Thecreedless are
supported by the municipal authori-
ties. In Iceland the problem is solved
in the following delightfully."- prim-
tive" fashion:
"In every district list is kept Of
the old people who are unable to pro-
vide for themselves, and at the begin
ming of the year the local authorities
seek out homes for them. The Gus
tom is for each ratepayer to receive
one or more Of them, according to his |
means, into his house on q visit, the |

Russ,A's proposition for a gradual
reduction Of the standing armies Of
Europe contains the only solution to
the socialistic problems that are before
the continental nations. II the Car
is sincere, he has shown himself to
be the greatest humanitarian OF the
age. 1t will however, be with great
difficulty that the Car can impress
the nations of Europe with his sim
cerity. Russia today is both the
greatest srbiter of peace in Europe
and the most disturbing factor in
Europe. Before Europe dissrms, or
takes measure looking to that end or
to reduction OF Its armament, Rus
STA must take the initiative, not only
by reducing her own standing armies,
but by satisfying England that she
will cease her steady territorial en-
croachments, which daily bring the
features Of the two nations closer to-
gether. Some solution must be at
tanned Of the Eastern Question, and
the world must know what is to be
the fate Of the Armenians. Russia's
for universal peace seems a
brutal mockery, while she is prepar-
ing to drive 10000 Amenians from
her borders, and whose fate will be
death at the hands of Turkish subs
jects. Europe wants peace, but
Russia, IS the phrase goes, must
make 4 reputation" before her adj
rice will be acted upoD.
