Alderman Williams Report

"Whereas, certain citizens and property owners adjacent to the site of the proposed stockade appeared before said committee this afternoon and vigorously protested against the said Stockade being located on said site; and
 "Whereas, MT J. K. Mcdonald, presi- dent of the Realty Company, proposed to said committee to sell to the city, or pos sibly exchange, property on the corner of Second avenue and Twenty-eighth street, North, sufficient for it's purposes of stockade, the selling price being S22.50 per front foot for said property; and
 Whereas, It is the wish of your commit tee to harmonize conflicting interests in the matter, it is recommended that if the said Realty Company will exchange with the city a like number of square feet of the said property on Second avenue and Twenty-eighth street for the lot belonging to the city upon which it is now proposed to erect the said stockade, the same to be accepted and the stockade be built on the lot thus acquired from the said Realty Company, instead of as now proposed"
 Alderman McAnally objected to the loca- tion of the stockade in the Fifth Ward, and moved to table the report. His motion to table received no second.
 A substitute for the report ordering work on the stockade at the present location in the Ninth Ward discontinued and refer ence of the whole stockade question back to the committee was adopted.
 Alderman Heidt, chairman of the Light Committee, stated that at joint meeting of his committee and the Judiciary Com mittee, held last Friday, report favorable to the acceptance of the Birmingham Gas Company's proposition for a new thirty year contract was agreed upon, but that since then considerable opposition had de- veloped, and he therefore asked for fur ther time. This was granted and the board adjourned.

claim that in these DAYS OF keen

kerosene oil is a great labor. saver
in fire kindling, and properly used
is perfectly safe. Fill fruit can

wood and apply the match. An
imperative rule should be that No

fires Never use the oil can. Alb

Three copies of the instrument were executed, one in Chinese, one in Spanish and third in English. This is departure in diplomatic usages, as the extra copy is usually in French, that being the recognized language of diplomacy.

With the Eyes Of Faith.

Some idea Of amateur photography
as it was in it's early days may be
gathered from an incident which the
late Bishop Walsham How confded to
his note book. Before he became a
bishop he used to call together the
old men of the parish on New Years
day, and on one occasion he displayed
to his guests photograph Of two old
men who had long worked at the rec
tory. They were photographed IN
their working clothes. one with a
spade and the other holding little
tree as if about to plant it. \ very
deaf old man, Richard Jones, took the
photograph in his hands. and looking
at 1t said: Beautiful! Beautiful"
So the rector shouted: who are they,
Richard?" why" he said, "its
Abraham offering up Isaac to be sac
rificed!" The rector tried to undeceive
him, and as the old men who had been
photographed were sitting opposite
him, he said: you'll see them before
you if you'll look up" Richard
smiled serenely but all he said was:
Eyes, yes, 1 sees 'em before me-by
faith!"-Youth's Companion.
