FAILED OF A QUORUM.

The Special Session of Council Called for
Last Evening Was Not Held
The special session of Council called
for last evening was not held, there
being a shortage of members in the
First Branch.
At 8 o'clock Second Branch had a
quorum lined up on the front steps of
the city hall, but the First was sever
al members shy. A quarter of an hour
later the First had seven members in
sight, but all efforts to obtain two more
failed, and, after waiting until $50,
those present agreed to dispense with
out the formality of a roll call.
There is some talk of another ses-
sion before the week is out, but when
it will be called, if at all, is uncertain.

Commissioner-General Peck is much
delighted with the liberality displayed
By congress in the matter of an ap-
preparation for the United States ex-
hibit at the Paris exposition. He has
been congratulated by the president as
being the only man who ever got a
bigger appropriation than was recon-
mended. The president asked for ST.
100000 in his message. The exact
amount appropriated is s1,21O,OO0, Of
which 100000 is for buildings, $780,
900 is especially assigned to the agri-
cultural department and 100000 for
the payment of jurors, which leaves
100000 for general expenses. The
central building will be about 100 fe-t
square and 100 feet high and cost $780,
900. 1t is not intended for exhibits,
but as a headquarters for the commits
sioner and exhibitors, and for the COM
fort of American visitors, like the
German, French and British buildings
at the Worlds Fair. 1t will stand on
the bank of the Seine, with a landing,
and all the river steamers will stop
there. There will be an imposing dome
with an American eagle standing upon
the universe. In the center of the
rotunda will be an equestrian statue of
Washington. About $4,000 will be
spent for an agricultural annex, con-
nected by colonnades with the Ameri-
can section of the main exhibit build
ing, SO that visitors can pass from one
to the other without going out doors.
There will also be an annex to the
building, especially for
the exhibition Of newspaper and print
ing presses.

A recent illustration of the working
Of lese majestic has afforded food for
sarcastic diversion among the bach
elors of the German empire, but the
married men, it is said, whenever the
subject is mentioned, become judic-
iously reticent. At Spandau, near Ber-
lin, husband and father, while seated
at dinner one day, made various o.
servations derogatory to the kaiser.
The cause of the outburst is not dis
closed. The wife was, apparently, OF
the sternly Roman kind, and with her,
loyalty to husband was subservient to
loyalty to ruler. She Immediately
fastened to an adjacent police-station,
denounced him, and had him arrested
and imprisoned. The moral embodied
in this domestic outbreak presents pos
Eibilities that must be somewhat dis
turbing to the married men of Ger
many.

A merchant of New York, whose
place of business was recently burned
out, has signified his appreciation of
the good work done on that occasion
by the firemen and the police by con-
tributing to their pension and relief
funds. In doing this he was actuated
by an honorable impulse, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful if the effect OF such
gifts is salutary. Private rewards for
public servants who have done moth
Ing more than their duty may conceiv-
ably have tendency to betray them
Into doing less than their duty under
circumstances which do not suggest
the expectation of reward.

The charge that college professors
ire impractical is sometimes very
practically disproved. A Western
professor tried the effect of electric
ty in an endeavor to thaw out n
frozen water-pipe To his delight, in
exactly twenty minutes full head Of
water was flowing in the house. The
pipe was heated to about sixty de-
Erees Fahrenheit. The success of the
professors experiment induced a gen
.ral use Of his method in the city
where he lived. A press dispatch de-
:lares that speedy relief was afforded
without the tearing up of foot of
pavement, and his fellow-citizens no
ioubt have concluded that the pro-
'essor is something more and better
