ORDINANCE
Requires That Chief Must
Deliver Notices.
Chief Harrison Believes That the
Custom Is a Peculiar One.

Chief of Police Harrison Is not fas-
cinated with the ordinance which reads
that notices To Councllmcn of special
meetings shall be served by the Chief
of Police personally, All morning
Thursday the Chief was engaged in
hunting up Councilmcn and giving
them notices of the special meeting TO
be held tonight.
Chief Harrison would be greatly in
favor of change in the ordinance so
that officers might also be entrusted
with the very important duty. All
members of the police force are under
bond to perform their duties with care
and correctness, and any officer, the
Chief argues. could serve notices ON
Councilmen.
During the recent tight relating to
telephone matters, when special meet
ings We're many, the practice of in
structing the chief to deliver notices to
the Councilmen became custom
In case that the chief was absent
from this city, the question naturally
arises, "who would deliver the no.

THE.SUBsTITUTE.
One who Forgot Himself When 1t
Come to a BIT of Hot
Flghting,

"When substitutes arrived at the
front" said the colonel, in the Chicago
Inter Ocean, "they were unmercifully
hazed and badgered by the veterans,
who had entered the service without
any inducement in the way of boun-
ties. and who scorned the idea Of a
man fighting for money 1t was as
sumed that all substitutes were OF one
pattern, were men who had declined
to enlist as a matter of patriotism,
and who entered the service only
when large bounties were offered
Many of the veterans believed That
the word substitute was synonymous
with the bounty-jumper and coward,
and acted accordingly. But in truth
many old soldiers, who had seen years
of service, and many high-spirited
Young fellows who could not leave
aged parents without support, became
substitutes, and were none the worse
for the bounty paid
sour regiment, after service OF
SO months, was mustered out at New
port barracks in the summer of 1864.
The men declined to reenlist as an
organizati ton because they were tired
of fighting, and wanted rest, and
they scattered to their homes in diff
ferent states. Before snow fell more
than half OF them were again in the
service, many of them returning to
old regiments as recruits or substi-
tutes. In all such cases the recruit,
SO strong was the feeling against sub
stitutes, concealed his reenlistment
from his old comrades, and in not few
cases the veteran played the part OF
raw recruit SO as to dissociate the
new service from the old
zone OF our old company returned
home to find his family in distress
and the farm mortgaged. After trying
to stem the tide of misfortune, and
after trying vainly to borrow money,
he sold himself, us he put 1T, for $4,000,
and went to one of the new regi-
ments at the front as q substitute.
He pretended to know nothing Of
drill or soldier duty, and played the
part of stupid but well-meaning
clodhopper. He bore all the jokes
and prosecutions with cheerful pa
tience and made friends with other
substitutes. He never forgot him;
self except when 1T came to battle,
and then the change was not noticed
at frst But one day, when the reg
iment was hard pressed. the soldier
spirits asserted itself and carried the
old veteran beyond the self-imposed
limitations of a substitute.
"When the break came he turned as
he would have turned in his old reg
iment and ran to the colors. There
he met the sergeant, who had drilled
him, and the captain who had treat
ed him contemptuously, and Others
who had laughed at his stupidity
Before this the men Of his company
had not believed that he could fire a
gun effectively. Now they saw that
he was familiar with all the tactical
work of resourceful man making
desperate resistance. They saw that
he knew what 20 do and how to do

the fragments OF the regiment had
the hardest fight in their experience
as soldiers, the so-called substitute

After this success rest of four years
was taken, and then the city outdid all
of her previous efforts combined. The
exposition Of 1905 was opened by no less
parsonage than Napoleon l., and at
tracted 1922 exhibitors. 1t was held
on the Esplanade des Invalides, and
was visited by people from all over Eu-
rope and America.
Still longer wait came between the
exposition OF 1906 and the one that fol-
lowed, which was not until 1919. For
eign war and internal strife kept
France in turmoil during those years,
and expositions were impossible. But,
like the others, the exposition off1sl9
showed an increase in the number OF
exhibitors and attendance, the exhib-
itors growing from 422 In 1906 to SEE
in 1919.
The sixth exposition opened in 1923,
and. the seventh opened in 1927, met
with but little success, while the eighth
showed considerable gain over its
nearest rival, the one of 1919, there be-
ing total of 2,4s7 exhibitors.
Still another gain in interest was
shown at the exposition of 1899, held
on the Champs Elysees, at which 1850
exhibitors were represented. The ex-
position of 1549 was held at the same
place, and attracted quite as much at

Cement pavements have come to stay
In the larger cities, such as Chicago,
Cincinnati, Toledo, Columbus, and In
fact nearly all the cities and towns of
the country, 1t is not possible to get
permit to lay anything but stone or
cement pavement, there being munic-
ipal ordinances against the laying of
brick pavements. This demonstrates
that cement pavements. when properly
put down, have been tried and not
found wanting.
Their uniform beauty and durability
gives them the preference over stone.
They never sag no matter how much

THE PARIS EXPOSITION OF ls4e.

czar, Nicholas H., when he visited
Paris In 1896. 1t has since developed
into one of the most magnificent show
pieces of the entire exposition. The
bridge spans the Seine and is 345 feet
long, supported on four stone piers go
feet high.
The great difficulty in building the,
bridge was to have it sufficiently high
for the boats 10 pass and sufficiently
low for the view of the esplanade and
the Invalides not to be obstructed
by it.
The steel span which runs from one
bank to the other is said to be marvel
of engineering. All the steel and iron,
however, is hid with the architectural
and sculptural part Of the bridge. The
ornaments along the sides are OF the
Louis XIV. style so as to be in harmony
with the ornaments of the Inyalides.
For their groups and statues sculp-
tors were told to have one principal
idea in mind-namely, the alliance be-
tween France and Russia. This has
been done in the details of the sculp-
turing. but the whole ornamentation
of the bridge on the right bank has
been done with view TO its being
symbolic OF peace, while that ON the
left bank is .'ymbolic of glory.

spent 100000 in building her exposi-,
tion; at 1t there were 23,954 exhib-
itors, and it attracted more than 5,0O0,-
900 visitors. That was by far the great
est exposition the world had seen up
to that time, and to those who visited
1t 1t seemed as though the limit of hui
man possibilities had been reached, yet
there were many people at that expo
sition who are visiting Paris at the
present time, two of whom i met the
other day, and though they were
pleased at what they were seeing,
they did not seem to think it any more
than could naturally be expected.
Since 1865 these great international
expositions have followed each other
| swiftly in Paris. The one of 1867 at
tracted $4,000 exhibitors, as did the
next one, in 1878, and the latter had an
attendance of IL, 900, 900 visitors. Again
after lapse Of II years Paris gave the

of 1889, with it, So, 4s8 exhibitors, and
at which there was an attendance of

should put a stop to the clicking of the
turnstiles.
One of the attractions of the present
fair Is the great Alexander bridge

France and Russia, and for this reason

Superb in It's appointments, hrst-
class N every sense Of the word, the
Norwood Is recognized by the appre-
ciatlve public as being one of the most
up-to~date, comfortable and homelike
hotels IN the country.
The house is four story and man
sard roof brick building, containing
66 large and well-ftted sleeping
rooms, each one being connected with
the ofilce by private telephone. Ev-
cry window is fitted with screens and
awnings, making them cool and COM
Portable in the hottest weather. Be-
Sides this, every room contains a sta
tionary wesh stand, with hot and cold
summing water. The entire house is
warmed by perfect system of steam
heating. Every floor contains a well
equipped fire apparatus.
From the roof garden at the top of
the house one has fine view of the
Ohio river for miles above and below.
: Also the best birdseye view of Mariet-
fa that can be secured from any other
point A man with his trunk can be
accommodated with large, light sample

told that the cuisine of this house
compares very favorably with the fin

room is a thing of beauty. all fitted in

stod smiling at their hysterical re-
joicing over the fact that they had
done their duty, The captain next
day made the veteran tell his story,
and while the old vet carried the
nickname of Sub to the end of his
second term OF service, no man In the
ranks OF the regiment had more con-
siderate treatment from officers and
men than he.
I'm another case four brothers en-
listed in three different regiments,
The two older ones went first at the
beginning of the war. The one next
in order went in the second year, The
fourth enlisted In the third year. This
left at home two young fellows un-

early in 1888 they brought their ia
ther $4,000 in money and asked him
to hire men in their places, and away
they went to the war These two
boys would have Jared hard as sub
stitutes had not the story of the fam
lily gone before them to the regiment
to which they were assigned. and had
not the rank and reputation OF their
brothers, long in service, opened the
way to the hearts of soldiers fighting
in front. But they were, in their fate
full few months service, substitutes.
AT the same time they were as gall
liant soldiers as ever carried rifles"

pride to the work they have done
while here. They have replaced the
steps at the Hotel Norwood, which had
only been put in short time before
their arrival here and which were
crumbling to pieces, because the part
les who had originally put them there
evidently did not understand this kind
of work. The cement steps that are
now there will last as long as the
house will. In fact, they have already
stood quite test. Some weeks ago,
a team of horses hauling heavy Gil
wagon, became unmanageable and ran
away. Headed right for the Norwood,
they ran onto the pavement and on
the steps and the steps withstood the
shock and were not broken nor harm
ed in any way. Had the company's
work been poor. or had they not used
the very best quality of cement, as
they always do, the heavy impact of
the wagon against the steps would
have knocked them to pieces.
Another job done by them is the
pavement in front OF M. s. Luchs'
store, on Front street.
The carriage house and stable OF DIR.
Curtis, on Second street, was also pro-
lvided with a cement floor by them.
Mr.. ] s.. Johnston, on Second, near
Washington Entrusted them with the
work of putting in two sets of cement
steps and two inside walks leading to
his residence.
Mrs Berry, at No. 522 Fifth street,
also favored them with some work at
her home.
General Warner replaced an old
walk leading to his house by new
cement one.
| Another nice piece of work done by
them Is the inside walk around the
residence of Mr.. w. 8. Gracey, on
Fourth street.
Mr.. w. II. Styer, on Fifth street, a
neighbor of Mr.. Gracey's, seeing the
beauty OF the work, had an inside walk
