on account of the depressed financial
condition then prevailing, property
owners should be given more time in

hesitancy on the part of city officials to
require that the walks be put in good

Then, after the walks are so restored
that they are presentable, measures
should be adopted which will have the
effect to keep cattle and horses from
roaming over them and breaking
them down again. The stock nuisance
is responsible for many of the damaged
sidewalks, and needs rigid restrictions

was girl, and the original poems dedi.
Gated to her and inscribed in fine,
flowing hand in her Album of
Thoughts We've revolted against such
gushing sentimcntality' People flop
from one extreme to another, and just
now we're at the tlippant cynical point.
The most winning and lovable trait in a
woman is her tenderness and gentle
ness. Women used frankly to abver.
tise to the world these traits. They ev.
en- pretended to be full of sentiment
when they were really as hard as flint.
It's so different now. They are callous
and critical and cold, self sufficient and
disillusioned, and with very keen eye
to the main chance. Another good one
is that bachelor can live as comfort
ably now as any man could want to.
There are bachelor apartments and
clubs in abundance, and if pure comfort
is what man wants, a bachelor can
probably get more of it for less money
than most married men have. All the
comfort about the place belongs to the
bachelor, and to him alone. He doesn (
have to consult anybody's prejudices or
anybody's convenience, and that's a
great thing. Then there's another thing.
Probably there are plenty of excellent
wives, but somehow those are not the
ones we hear much about. We hear
about the extravagant girl who worries
her husband to death with her bills the
cross one who nags numerically the
careless one who becomes a slattern the
stupid one who becomes a bore-all of
them apparently nice girls before they
fell under the blight of matrimony. |

AFTER GENERAL MERRIAM.
Central Labor Union of New York De-
mands Ills Recall and Court Martial.

Central Labor Union of New York De-
mands Ills Recall and Court Martial.
New YORK, June l9-The central
federated labor union yesterday pre-
scntcd a resolution instructing its secre-
tary to write to President Mckinley ana
the war department, demanding the re-
call and trial by court martial of Gen
eral Merriam, because of his policy re-
garding the striking miners at Couer
d'Alcne, Ida.
This action by the central body was
inspired by the reading of the reply
from the war department to a letter
asking if General Mcrriam's orders to
the miners to employ no union men had
the sanction of the department. The
reply was written by Frederick g.
Squircs, confidential clerk to Secretary
Alger, who sent a copy of the insa'uc-
tions sent to General Merriam. These
were as follows: "You will instruct
Major Smith, commanding at Wallace.
that he is to aid the United States
troops simply to preserve order. Those
were your original instructions. The
army must have nothing whatever to
do with enforcing rules for the govern
ment Of miners or miners union. That
is matter for the local authorities to
deal with"
