the ambitious dental surgeon consider that

The tenement house committee of the
has offered four prizes. ranging from $500
to 500, to architects for plans for improved
city tenements The first prize is for
houses and lots of 5Ox1OO feet, the second
prize for those 75x10O and the thiru for
houses and lots of 10Ox1OO. a special prize
of 500 being offered for the best plan for
house on a lot 25x10o feet. The plans sub
mitted are to be exhibited in connection
with the tenement house exhibitions, to be
held this winter in New York ana other

Theoretically sealed, there is no loss of the

and are OF great value to the physician.
Each tube contains from one to two ounces
of chloroform, quantity more than suffi-
cient for all ordinary persons. For the
preservation and transportation of hydro
fluoric acid paraffine bottles are CONNER
cially used, owing to the fact that this
acid eats glass, while mercury, owing to
its great weight, is sold in iron bottles
with screw shoppers when the amount is
large.
The question has lately arisen abroad
as to whether a sufferer from malaria is
source of danger to his healthy neigh
bors. DIR. Foa, of Turin, asserts and main
tains that malaria can be indirectly COM
municated from person to person, and he
is Endorsed in his views by other expert
hygienists. The most practical result of this
declaration is that the Society of Hygiene
proposed an "order of the day" by which
the government was invited to make pro-
vision for the sale of quinine to the fever
stricken poor at cost price.

His PROPOSAL.


She knew he loved her by each glance
Though he'd not spoken;
His hands quick pressure in the dance.
Each flower and token.
She waited for the story old
AS she had read it.
But though his eyes the legend told
He never said it!
He sang to her in verses sweet.
His accents sued her;
He played the banjo at her feet,
In rag-time wooed her;
On smooth yacht decks all golden glow.
Where starlight blended
Till she began to think him slow
AS well as splendid!
She led him into quiet hooks.
On stairs, demurely,
Where lights were low and tender looks
Might pass securely;
And when the band throbbed some deep hymn,
Or old song story,
She steered him gently for the dim
Conservatory.
But in a crowded cable
One rainy morning
They rode with many jolt and jar.
The weather scorning,
Till swerving round curve she leaned
Against his shoulder
And safely by her big hat screened
Twas then he told her.

At Flood Tide.

There some hidden rocks along the shore
Where always is the din
OF angry surges. and the breakers roar
Whence er the tide comes in.
However calm the peaceful ocean sleeps,
AS toward the shore IL rolls.
A shudder rises from it's darkened deeps
When first they feel these shoals.
There are some reefs near which the caimest
thought
Draws with a sudden throe.
And breaks in Wild tumutuous surges, caught
From quivering depths below.
Oh, can we meier efface nor quite forget
Those loves that once have been?
Must these old losses rise to meet us yet
Till iife's last tide sweeps in?

THIRD AMENDMENT ADOPTED.
Last Returns Indicate a Majority of
Fifty Thousand.

The Indications of the last returns from
the counties of the State are to the effect
that amendment No has been adopted
by majority Of more than $1,000 votes.
1t was apparently the intention of the
trainers of the third amendment to equaliLe
taxation by forcing money lenders to pay
taxes on the property affected by their
mortgage. thus relieving the borrower of
the debt. The real effect of the amend
ment the loan agencies say, will be %
raise the rate of interest. thereby Indirect
ly compelling the borrowers to pay the
taxes on the property.
Attorney +. n. Judson Yesterday stated
that there was difficult legal question in
yolved, but that he was not prepared to say
whether the amendment would stand the
test of the courts not
l.. G. Rowse, representing the Connect
cut Mutual Life Insurance Company stated
that his company had practically suspended
the loan business in the State. and that he
was waiting for further instructions from
his company.
Charles H. Turner stated that his COM
pany had entirely suspended loans and that
1t would not do any more business of the
sor. until some line of action was agreed
upon to counteract the effect of the meas
ure.
The impression among the loan companies
is that the people voted for the amendment
without giving 1t any thought whatever or
probably under the impression that in some
way II would tend to make the burden of
those in debt lighter.

FILES STATEMENTS OF EXPENSES.
Tell How They Spent
Their Money.

Almost all of the successful and some OF
:he unsuccessful candidates for city Offices
and General Assembly have filed with the
Recorder Of Deeds and Election Commits
sionars Il sworn statement Of their ex-
penditures for the election. The statements
Tor the most part contain an ttemiZed ac-
count of the manner in which the mOhey
was expended. a review of some of the
items listed and a comparison of the ex-
penditures of the various candidates will be-
found interesting.
The election expenses of the candidates
who have submitted statements range all
the way from si25 the top notcher' down
to $3.50. Joseph f. Dckmann. Sheriff-elect,
says he spent the larger sum- while a. n.
Sanford. the unsuccessful candidate for
Representative in the Second District, con-
tesses that his failing to land the prize
cost him only the modest sum of $50. all
of which, ne says, went for refreshments
for the "boys."
Mr.. Dickmann's statement contains only
three items viz: Printing and advertising,
$50: contributions to clubs, $50; refresh-
ments and incidentais, Sl25.
