who spoke; turning round 10 the east

it interested Him, he felt as Il he were

The moon had now risen above the
clouds, and WAS pouring her milG, pale

a simultaneous impulse, every one di-

has made its first confession of the
inadequacy OF the black troops for The
work of policing its territory. The
Free State is enlisting a Belgian le

My Compel Trims to Stnn.

Washington, Feb. 21.--A decision Of
considerable general interest has been
delivered by the Supreme court With
three justices dissenting the court held
that a state has the power to compel
a railroad to stop trains at certain
cities prescribed by state statute. The
case was brought against the Michigan
Central railroad company by the state
of Ohio, which had passed q law pro-
viding that If the railroad ran three
trains a day through certain towns
they should be compelled to stop for
passengers. The railroad contended
that this was interference in inter
state commerce. Justice Harlan. de-
livering the majority opinion, said
contrary ruling would enable the rail-
roads to build up the great cities OF
the east and west at the expense OF
the small places passed on the way.

Funds for NIcaraG VA Canal.

Washington, Feb 21.-President
Mckinley has informed members of
congress that he does not approve of
the Nicaragua canal bill amendment"
as now attached to the river and har-
Dor appropriation bill. His objection
is that it authorizes the expenditure
OF s115,000,000 for this purpose, but
does not provide means for raising the
money. The president recognizes the
fact that there is sure to be a deficit,
and he anticipates an issue of bonds.
He believes the canal should be con-
structed at once. and that bonds should
be issued for this specific purpose.
This adds a serious complication to
the canal situation, and it is difficult
10 foresee what will be the outcome.

To nenntItr the CompIexIon.

For the complexion and general
health, drink slowly half an hour be-
fore breakfast one large tumbler of wa
ter as hot as you can swallow. and
once a week instead a tumbler OF cold
water IN which a teaspoonful of COM
mon salt has been dissolved. This is
better for tho complexion than any
cosmetic. Another recipe is the Juice
OF half lemon. pint OF warm water
and one ounce Of rose water.

Unreasonable Goose.

The man in the street car affirmed
that it was true story, but the Cleve-
land Leader does not vouch for it, al
though giving it in the narrator's own
words: was UP at the market house
night before last, buying stuff for over
Sunday, and / saw an Irishman up
there with a five goose under his arm.
Pretty soon the goose looked up at the
Irishman kind Of pitiful, and says:
"Quawk, quawi, quawk," in that coax
in way a goose has sometimes. The
Irishman didn't say anything at first,
but after a bit the goose looked up
and says, "Quawk, quawk, quawk,"
again. Then the Irishman cooked his
head over on one side, looked the goose
in the eye, and says: "Phat's the mat
ter wild yez, ony way? Phwy do yez
want to walk whin Ofm willin' to car

WIDENING WASHINGTON STREET
ACTION WILL BE TAKEN SOON
AND RESIDENTS WILL HAVE
TO MOVE

A meeting of the Board OF Street
Sewer and Drain Commissioners was to
have been held yesterday afternoon to
take notion In connection with the wild
ching of Washington street, but as one
of the members was absent from the
city. the meeting was adjourned. 1t Is
understood. however, that u meeting
will be held In the near future.
1t is STAYED that the widening OF the
street will be completed not later than
January LIST next. This work will ne
cessitate the removal to some other
quarter Of the city of the undesirable
class that made Washington street
notorious. a-
The scattering OF this element gener-
ally all over the city Is considered un-
desirable and it seems probable that
the residents VIII congregate In some
one locality They will probably be re-
quired to move to some Of the less de-
sirable residential nelghborhoods.

sHoTA.Ti CHICKEN THIEF.
BUT HE BROKE FROM OFFICER
EAST AND ESCAPED.

Yesterday morning about 3:15 o'clock
Officer East saw a suspicious looking
colored man enter yard on Reilly
street. The officer watched the place
and saw the man come out of the prem
Uses about q half an hour later. The
officer followed the man to Chapel
street, placed him under arrest and
walked him to the police patrol box ut
the corner of Falkland and Chapel
streets.
While Officer East was turning in an
alarm the man broke loose and ran. The
officer drew his revolver and fired at
the disappearing form, but whether he
hit the man or not is not known.
Later Officer East learned that some
time during the night some thief or
thieves had entered the chicken house
of Photographer J. II. Faber, on Falk-
land street. and stole n number of his
choice fowls. IS
While in the hands of officer West,
the prisoner gave several ncticlous
names, and said he was the proprietor
Of crap joint. He is not known to
the police. Householders will do well
to keep sharp lookout, ,as midnight
thievery is becoming evident again.
