On behalf of Mr.. l.. 8. Nicolai, Mr.. w.

urging them to issue the specifications
covering naphtha lighting for the coming

tofore suggested by Mr.. Dodge he again
urged the Commissioners to provide for
the purchase of the burners and tanks in

port of this. Mr.. Dodge contended that
municipal ownership of these appliances
would so open competition as to make II
not only possible for a local man to hid
for doing the lighting, but also, by in
creased competition, to reduce the cost of
the work.
The Commissioners recently informed Mr.
Dodge that they believe it is to the hest
interests of the District for the contractor

missioner Wight explained that If the in
Vltatlon for proposals should be DELAYED
until after the passage of the pending
District appropriation bill, the District
would, until the new contractor took hold

ent contract, he added was entered into
when the price of naphtha was much lower
than 1t Is reported to be at the present
time, and 1t therefore appeared TO hin,
that. in the event of the existing contract
being continued until the new contractor
takes hold, the District would be ad-
Vantageously placed. inasmuch as the con-
tract price for the work next year will he

Mr. Dodge repeated that all he desires
is that his client be given such an oppor-

he sees a great wall thirty feet at the
base to fifteen feet at the top. Once
inside the gates the traveller is in the
outer, or as it is called the Chinese
city.
From this city, entrance may be had
to the inner, or Tartar city, which is
surrounded by walls fifty feet high and
from forty to sixty feet thick. Inside
Of the Tartar city is the Imperial city
enclosed by great wall, and inside Of
the Imperial city is the Forbidden city,
enclosed by another wall, where the
palace Of the emperor is located. The
chief difference between the ground
plans Of Pel1in and the pigs in clover"
puzzle is that the divisions Of the puz-
zle are in circles while the divisions Of
the city are in squares, and the further
difference that the Chinese or outer
city does not enclose the other three
but joins the inner or Tartar city on
one side.
While Pekin or Picking, meaning
northern capital is the common name
of this strange city OF cities, its official
name is Shun-tien-fu and literary men

another British diplomat named it the
city Of dirt, dust and disdain."
Dirty, dusty and disdainful are ad-,
jectives that describe it well. The
streets are unpaved and the city has
10 sewers. After rain the mud in
the streets is about three feet ~eep,
and in dry weather this mud turns to
fine dust. The only vehicle with watch

The best view Of the city can be had
from one OF the high walls. From there
the observer will see in the Chinese

OF this inexperience and enticed these
peasants into debt to them. Once in
debt, the serfs quickly became slaves
again-slayes TO their creditors. 1t
was to put stop to this industrial con-
dition and this reinstatement that the
Jews were compelled to leave Russia.
We have been most hospitable to
them. Of these Slavs we received, for
the year ending June so, 1899, $685..
To be sure. not all of them were He
brews, but 24,275 confessed that they
were. 1t is very likely, indeed, that
more than $4,000 were Hebrews. The
year previous we received 27221 who
were confessedly Hebrews, and the
year before that 22,750. To set at an
approximation of the real figures we
would have to double these. II the
year ending with June, 1896, we re-
celved 1917 Russian Hebrews. There
IS no way to get at the exact facts, but
It IS quite within the truth to say that
within the last decade we have taken
into this country 100000 of these Slavs,
who, in reality, are Hebrews. That we
can assimilate them seems to be i'm
possible. They will have to remain a
race apart, as will also the negroes

DID THE LORD HEAR Alright?

Father Edward Soren, of Notre
Dame, brought with him on his return
from one of his visits to his native
place, Paris, France, native teacher
of French for the Academy of st. Mary
du Lac. She was a charming sister in
her gestures and manners, and was
anxious to learn the English language.
She asked one Of the American sisters
to teach her the Lords Prayer in Eng
lish.
This American sister did so with
great deal of relish and apparent sport.
And when the dear little Parisienne
could repeat her Pater Noster in the
delightful language used in this coun-
try, she went to the good old priest,
Father Soren, and told him in French
that she desired he should hear her say
her prayer in English. Gravely grant
ing her request, the amiable man lis
tened with sober face and a gentle light
in his eyes while the little sister re-
peated with earnestness the ditty Of:
old brother Ben, shot his goose and
killed his hen"
telling her beads with the same devo-
ton she did in saying Our Father" in
French. At the conclusion Of her
prayer Father Soren said:
That is we'll done, sister. You have
acquired the language with great ease
and facility. But, pray, tell me who
was the sister that taught you so beau
tifulIy?" She quickly gave the sister
name. and asked in French:
But, my father. do you think the
Lord heard me Alright, not being accus-
toned to me in English?''
Yes, yes, my child, the Lord has
fully understood your prayer. It is not
the words, but the intent.-E. Hovey-

AARON BURR'S LOVELY DAUGH-
TER.
She Was Both Useful and Ornamental
in Her Fathers Household.

When TheodOsia was fourteen she
took her place at the head Of her
fathers household and became his in
separable companion her playful wit
Illuminating his hours Of relaxation,
her steadfast courage, her strength,
her very presence, constituting the
most powerful bulwark of his defense
in the darkest hours of his life.
She had much of her mothers self
pOise and elegance of manner, together
with her fathers dignity and wit.
When she reached maturity, though
short in stature, like her fathers fam
lily. she carried herself with a noble
dignity which, with a certain lofty be-
nevolence of cOuntenance, the refine
ment of her features, the frank inteili-
gence of her brow, the healthful bloom
of her complexion, made her singu-
larly beautiful She inspired in her
father the most absolute confidence in
her Many are surprised that 1 could
repOse in you SO great a trust as that
Of yourself" he wrote to her when she
was seventeen, but | knew you were
equal to it and l am not deceived.
He sent Brant, the Indian chief. to
her from Philadelphia with a letter of
introduction,-she was but fourteen at
the time and mistress of Richmond
HILL where she entertained him with
an ease which gave her father much
qualification. She gave a dinner in
his honor, inviting to meet him some
of her fathers friends, among them
Volney, Bishop Moore, Dr.. Bard, and
Dir. Hosack She was already belle,
with many admirers ever in her wake,
when Edward Livingston, then mayor
of New York, taking her aboard a
French frigate lyirg in the harbor Of
the city, thus warned her: you must
bring none of your sparks on board,

BELGIAN HARE FAD.

The Belgian hare fad has become
such a nuisance in Denver as to cause
the interposition of the city council,
which has taken up a proposition to
regulate the sanitary end Of the me-
mace. So prolific are the hares and so
numerous the fanciers that there are
fully 100000 hares in the city, and this
number is increasing enormously. Per-
sons are keeping hares in back yards,
in cellars, in barns and even in living
rooms The health office probably will
ask for the passage of an ordinance
to limit the number Of rabbits which
may be kept within a certain number
Of cubic feet Of space and to fix the
limit so that there shall be no over
crOwding: to compel owners to keep
their premises disinfected and to pro-
vide for the inspection Of all rabbit
barns and the destruction of animals
regarded as dangerous to the public
health The building ordinances allow
the erection of frame buildings to a
height of five feet, and this has been
taken advantage of by the rabbit
breeders, who build their tiers of
cages. each about two feet long, eight
cen inches long and foot high, against
the board fences in their back yards.
The building inspector thinks these
hutches would make a dangerous fire
anu probably will ask for some restric-
ton of this class of building

RAILROADING BY WHOLESALE

The Railway Age finds 135, 900 miles,
or 20 per cent, of the railways of the
United States controlled by % COM
panies. The New York Central leads,
with 10.410 miles, and is followed
closely by the Pennsylvania, with
1882 miles. Canada has the Cana
dian Pacific, a single system Of 10,01S
miles. The Southern Pacific has 1852
miles; Chicago and Northwestern,
S,463 miles; Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, S,001 miles, and the Southern
Railway, 1887 miles. The Louisville
and Nashville. with 5,077 miles; Balti-
more and Ohio. with 1905 miles; Sea-
board Air Line. with 2,540 miles; At
lantic Coast Line, with 2,27S miles, and
Plant System, with 2,140 miles, are
southern systems of note. These fig
ures take no account of the larger units
created by predominating financial in
lluence." If this influence could be
traced striking aggregates would be
disclosed. In the east the Vanderbilt,
Morgan and other interests concentrate
control of nearly all important roads
in a few hands. The Pennsylvania
influence, for example, extends to over
$1,000 miles. In the west plans Of alli-
ance are being worked out for many
roads which are to be unified. 1t hap
pens that the systems mentioned here
are the largest commonly regarded
as the best in management and service.
When plans of operation must embrace
many states and diverse regions and
conditions, large views must be taken
and it becomes we'll understood that
the prosperity of the transportation
system depends upon the prosperity of
the community served, and vice versa.
The idea that either the community or
the railroad can flourish by running the
other is obsolete.
