A WOMAN notary public in Colorado,
who was recently married, asked the
attorney general what name she should
use officially in the future He has re-
piled that she must sign all documents
as before her marriage, for he finds no
law compelling or even authorizing a
woman to drop her maiden name on
the simple excuse of marriage. In
fact, he says that there is no au-
thority for a change of name at mar
riage or at any other time.

Al stnrtIInr Ans.Ner.

A Latin professor was explaining the der
ivation of our word ''ostracise" to his'class
in a local academy the other day. He told
the story of the early Roman republics and
the scheming of the politicians of the
times. He related how, when any man in
the republic became obnoxious to his neigh
bors, they used to write his name on an
oyster she'll (Latin-ostreum, shell), and on
the receipt of a specified number by the
consuls that man was banshed, killed or
otherwise removed in some one of those
pleasant ways the old Romans had. When
he had finished his explanation he said:
"Now, the boy here in the front seat,
what did we derive from the old Latin use
of the she'll, which was called ostreum?"
The answer he expected was far from
what he got, for the little student with
spectacles in the front seat arose and de-
liyered himself thus:
From the Roman habit of using shells
to get the best of people we derive the
present Coney Island shell game, which is
a fascinating and costly sport. brooklyn

PITTSBURG RIVER NEWS.

PITTSBURG, July 21.-Unless some
thing unforeseen happens the wickets
at the Davis Island dam will be in
position probably by noon tomorrow
The work of lifting the dam commenced
this morning and at noon to-day the
wier south of the bear trap was in
position and few Of the wickets ON
this side of it. 1t was intended to put
in a few new wickets at this time, but
it was found that this would take too
much time. The coal men and packet
men clamored for the raising of the
dam and it was decided not to make
the repairs contemplated. There is
probably 100000 bushels of coal in
the harbor and the river has fallen
rapidly since yesterday. 1t is neces-
sary that the dam be raised as soon
as possible in order to prevent some
of the loaded barges and coalboats from
being grounded.
A coal operator said this morning
that the present year has been a very
successful one in the coal business,
much more so than for a number of
years past. The reason assigned was
the equalization of prices. There has
not been a disposition to cut as in for
mer years and coal has brought a bet
ter price at Louisville and Cincinnati
this year that it has for some time. The
figure at which coal has been selling
recently has enabled the operators, it
is said, to make a fir prof.. This,
it is expected, will be increased when
the contemplated consolidation of the
river interests takes place, as it is
said that much of the former competi-
ton will be destroyed and there will
be a common price for coal, based on
the rate paid for mining in the pools.
IN any event it is argued that marked
improvement in the conditions will
take place.

Should DO Ensured by the Peoples Fan
way Company.

way Company.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir: Please allow me space in your
columns to give my impression as a
business man and property owner Of the
duty of Council on the present street
railway fight. With the private inter-
ests of capitalists on one side or the
other, Council ought to have nothing
to do. Its sole consideration should be
the public good.
There is not the least doubt in my
mind that a new street railway line can
be built over the Peoples Railway Com
pany route and ii can be made a pay
ing investment. No one should over
look the fact, in all this talk about the
Wheeling Railway Company not max
ing money, etc., that the Wheeling Rail-
way Company to-day is paying fixed
charges on bonds, that represent nearly
as much, if not more, than the actual
cash cost of building its line. Whether
the Peoples Railway Company can or
cannot operate this line profitabiy is
not, however, matter for Council TO
consider In fact no man can answer
that question in advance, and no new
enterprise would ever be carried
through, If its projectors were hampered
and governed by doubts and misgivings
OF a lot of old croakers.
What Council must do, however, is
to make certain that the granting of the
Peoples Railway Company franchise
will ensure genuine competition. Mem
bers of the Peoples Railway Company
say that they do not and will not object
to any provision that will tend TO pre-
vent the consolidation of their company
with the Wheeling Railway Company.
All right. Let the City Solicitor insert
in their ordinance a stringent provision
preventing any arrangement, consolida-
ton, or mutual understanding between
the two companies, and make it con-
dition that the franchise is at once an
nulled should the provision be violated.
Good lawyers say there will be no diff
Guilty in protecting the city's interests
in that way.
Let that be done, and it seems to me
then, that the Peoples Railway Com
pany should be welcomed. They pro
ject a great public enterprise, which can
not fail to be of great value 10 the city
if properly directed. ONLOOkER.
