; A Yukon mail-carrier writes to the
general superintendent at San Francis
CO, telling how he has had to sacrifice
''celerity." one of the requirements OF
the "star" postal service. to safety
In some recent experiences. On his
arrival from the trip up Forty-Miie
river. he found the Yukon jammed
with huge cakes OF ice, which 1t was
unsafe to cross because of the great
holes through which man or mall
pouch might easily fall. Whenever
any mail has gone to the bottom In an
jam. he says. every man therea-
bouts feels certain that at least a dozen
OF his letters were in that particular
pouch. So this carrier waited favor
able opportunity. which came on Nov.
6, when his party started forth at day
light. They made ten miles before sun
down. having two sleds loaded with
800 pounds each drawn by dogs The
ice was piled 80 high in some places
that they had to chop passage
through 1t rather than attempt to go
over. These are some OF the dihlcul-
ties that Uncle Sans servants In the
postal service have to surmount.

Although charges of wanton cruelty
have been made by Boer against
Briton and by Briton against Boer, the
contest thus far has been marked by
chivalrous humanity on both sides
when the fury OF battle has left It's

foes. In Boer operating camps and
hospitals. as in the British, no dis
elimination was shown between friend

during the year. But why give them !?
Why tell you that 100000 of our pop
ulation go to bed drunk every night in
the year and that the money spent for
drink every day would provide all the
widows with sealskin sacks and French
heeled shoes? We all know those
things Let us begin with Christopher
Columbus, who had rather more to do
with America than any man who has
come after him. give you his picture
on the canvas. You look puzzled and
surprised. You can't make it out. You
behold Christopher lying drunk OH the
highway, with jug on one side and n
hog on the other. 1t is a fanciful pic
ture. l want you to look at it closely
and keep it in your minds, and every
day for years TO come ] want you to
ask yourself what would have happen
ed il Columbus had been that sort Of
man. When Ferdinand and lisa bella had
fitted him out for his voyage, suppose
he had gone and got three days Jag
on and had rolled around in the mud
and had had three or four scraps with
other old buns. Can you for an instant
believe that he would have been left in
command of the expedition or that this
country would have been discovered
fer the next 80 years? But there was
no boozing He may have taken
farewell drink of root beer or lemon
ade, as was eminently proper but it
ended right there, and he became world
famous as result. A whole hem
isphere and millions of people owe him
a debt of gratitude and will remember
his name forever because of his abb
stinence. The lesson taught by the pic
ture is plain to all. Get drunk, and you
will be sent to the island for 80 days;
remain SOBER and you will become IA
nous.
My friends, let me give you the pic
ture of George Washington as he was
about to cross the Delaware and gain

observe that George is lying drunk
with his feet on a chair while the pa
triot army waits for him to take the
lead. You murlnur and are aghast.
You never heard that the Father of
His Country got jag on. No more
did he. l give you this picture as

good things should have attended
Tuesday nights session of the City
Council.
At this meeting five Republican
that they were helpless and completely
at the mercy of the Fire Engine trust,
in the purchase of additional fire ap-
paratus.
Some weeks ago it was decided to
advertise for bids on the supplying
of new fire apparatus for Akron. The
Commissioners in due time received
bids from various Fire Supply COM
panies, but upon opening them discov-
cred that the price submitted by each
bidder for supplying fire engines was
the same.
Councilman Brodt, believing that
tile bids were loo high, and not will.
| ing that Akron's officials should, in the
purchase of expensive fire engines and
apparatus, pay any price the trust
cared to quote, moved that the City
Commissioners be authorized to re-
advertise for bids for supplying fire
apparatus to the city. s, ).
The opinion Of the Commissioners
was desired on the matter, and Mr..
McMillen was asked to give his views
regarding the motion. He had nothing
| to say. Commissioner McGarry stated
that as several of the fire engine man.
ufacturers had formed IL combine it
was hardly probable that a lower price
could be received than the one already
submitted by these companies.
Fire Chief Manderbach next spoke.
He said the Council would make a
mistake i'm passing the motion to re-
advertise for bids, and drop the ones
already received, especially after the
bidders had given bond, etc. If the
city re-advertised, he believed the bids
would be raised by the Fire Engine
combine.
Councilman Koons was in favor Of
taking the advice of Chief Mander-
bach, ''as he knows more about the
worth of fire engines and apparatus
than any one else. If there is a com
L,ne in Fire Engine companies we
might be compelled to pay 1000 more
on bids received by re-adyertising than
the price submitted in present bids"
Mechanical Engineer Loomis stated
that he didn't think much could be
gained by re-advertising. The engine
manufacturers are combined and no
lower bids can be secured.
President Fiebeger then put the mo-
tion, which was lost by the following
vote:
Yeas -Brodt, Fiebeger, Mason, Merz,
Piske. (All Democrats)
Nays-Brown, Rooms, Markle, Rice,
sorrick. (All Republicans)
Absent Brady, Paul
The bids as advertised for by the
Commissioners, on fire engines and ap-
paratus, were received and opened last
May. The following companies filed
bids on furnishing fire engines:
American Fire Engine company, Of
Cincinnati, bid $4,660.
Thos. Manning company, Of Cleve-
land, bid $4,660.
La Franz Fire Engine company, of
Elmira, n. ", bid $4,66O.
The Comskeag Engine company, OF
Manchester, n. H., bid $4,000.
Each of the bids, 1t will be noticed,
are for the same amount. Since the
bids were opened by the Commission
ers on May 10. these companies, men.

The Commissioners believe, that

HALL COMMITTEE APPOINTED.
The matter of selecting a suitable
site and building of a City hall, was
again discussed at last evenings Coun-
Gil melting.
Councilman Marklc, after stating
that this question of building a new
City hall was the most important mat
ter which should now occupy the atten-
tion of the city officials, moved that
committee of five, including the Pres
ident of Council and City Solicitor,
be appointed to consider the matter
of selecting suitable site for a City
building. The motion was seconded
by Brodt and carried unanimously.
President Ficbeger appointed on the
committee, Councilmen Markle, Merz,
Rooms and Rice.
WANT BETTER QUARTERS
Councilman Rice stated that the
Council should secure larger and more
convenient quarters for their Council
Chamber. He said the present room
in the old postoffice building was en-
trely too small, that as it was used
for Mayors court 1t could not be fur
nished sufficiently with chairs, desks
and tables, to meet the requirements
of the Council. He then moved that
committee of three be appointed to
secure better quarters for a Council
Chamber. The motion carried and the
president appointed Councilmen Rice,
Sorrick and Brodt as the committee.
