IN behalf OF the city and the citizens
The two parties to the proceedings
argued from entirely different franchises.
The city. through its attorneys. holds tnat
the company forfeited its franchises be-
cause 10 did not begin work under them
until October Dist, or two days. according
90 the contention OF the city, after the
six months time limit expired. Tho city
claims that the ordinances granting the
franchises did not require any action on
the part OF tho mayor. ami therefore be-
came effective on the night they were
adopted By the Councillor April l9,h.
The company claims that the ordinances
did not become operative until tea days
after their adoption. and therefore the
six months did not expire until NOveml-
Der lst, or some days after work was
begun.
EXTENSIVE ARGUMENT.
And so. there was extensive argument
from these separate vicws-each side pro
ducine voluminous authorities 10 sustain

and substitute for It a machine per-
forming the same duties. The in
staious inventor, Herr zimmerman.
las ascertained that two leather sacks.
gl,ed with air, when brought violently
together make a noise precisely like
that produced by the clapping OF hands.
He placed pairs OF leather sacks in
il dden places throughout theater.
and then connected them by wires with
the wing so that they could be set In
motion by electricity on button be-
ing pressed. The regisseur in the
wings controls the apparatus in all
parts of the house. and can produce ap-
plause from the gallery. the pit or the
stalls at will. Herr Zimmerman
claims that his invention is now in use
in several theaters in Paris and Berlin.
but for obvious reasons declines to say
In which ones.

Three New PIeture Framss:

A novelty in small frames for photo
graphs is the architectural frame. This
is made up of two Roman or Corin-
THAN columns for the sides. surmount-
ed by Intel, the whole resting on
what appears to be doorstep. The
Roman column is the favorite. and is
finished in deep green or black. Deli
cate water colors in figures are popu-
lar. framed in a tiny oval gold bead
ing with wide mat of deep red. An
other style of picture which takes a
dark red mat well is the black and
white print Of famous drawings. The
red seems to throw out in relief the
details OF the drawings. The tiniest
narrow black wood frame is the best
finish.-New York World.

Ventilation of Rooms.

Except in foggy or very severe
weather the bedroom windows should
be open a little bit at the top during
the night. Warm air (that which is
given out in breathing) always rises.
II the top of the window is not open
1t cannot escape, and SO 1t is breathed
back again into the lungs, and is preju-
dicial to health. Before leaving the
room in the morning the window and
door should be thrown open for an
hour or so. Spread the bed clothes
near the open window and allow the
fresh air to play upon the bed COW
erings. The foul air and carbonic gas
will thus escape from the clothes. and
consequently rest taken in them will
be healthy rest

then its execution. Administrations
change, but they do not, neither do their
methods They took good care to see,
when the Cleveland administration came
IN. that the right kind of a man for
them was made land commissioner, and
the same old story went monotonously
on; Indians cheated, pine land despoil-
ed. estimators corrupted, the law evaded
and their pockets lined.
Now they appear to have been effec-
lively choked off. The secretary of the
Interior actually listens to the representa-
items of the Chippewas He revokes the
orders of the land commissioner for the
sale Oh the pine. He stops the dead-and-
down grab. He sends about their busi-
| ness the horde of estimators who have
been playing the old game with the esti-
mates. He orders inspectors out into
the field to examine into the conditions.
and contemplates adopting the Menominee
plan of dealing with the dead-and.down
timber. And we are told that the dead
landowners make their final plav and
get Congressman Eddy and Morris to go
to the secretary and plead with him
to get some "experienced'' lumbermcn
to do the inspecting instead of a couple
of inspectors who cannot be supposed
to know anything about the orthodox
manner of handling Indian pine. And we
are assured that ztha secretary-~ S4niea

had probably reached the conclusion
that there had already been too much
of the experienced" lumberman in the
affair. 1t really looks as If the dead-and

THE EDITOR MAN.

The editor sat in his well worn chair, his
head bowed low on his breast,
The tangled whiskers which fringed his
face clung close to his tattered vest
He sat rejecting upon his lot, and the
Sighs which he let escape
Seemed windy evidence that affairs with
him were in desperate shape.
Delinquent subscribers came not in to
gladden. his heart with coin,
Twas many day since he had slowed
away silver, in his groin.
And his wife had told him that very
morn, with a sort Of hungry frown.
His dinner that day would be turnips
straight, with water to wash EN-
down. -
He'd chronicled every birth and death,
with comment on each event;
Had Personal every man in camp, IL
he only. a-f1shing went;
At every wedding, no matter If the bride
was a hornefy fright
He'd laud her comeliness to the skies
just f1atter her out of sight.
He often said that the minister was a
Talmage of eloquence
The brain of the young attorney-at-law a
bonanza of 3egah sense
In short, he'd plsffed every living soul,
from the mayor 10 hummer Jim;
Yet never a. thark YOU had come his
way, nor a doh been thrown to him.
While thus refleetings he heard a step,
and a heart-warming 'Howdy-do?

And fell with a dull and sickening thud

But the ten-dollar shock had done its
