sun SOFTENS IT.

Investigations resulted in a selection
of granite block for grades and vitrified
brick for the level ways. AS an expert
rnent a portion of Union Street was pay
ed with sheet asphalt. Il makes a
smooth noiseless roadway and stood
wear well during the cold weather. The
majority said: 1T is a good thing" and
soon a contract was made for paving Up
per Sycamore Street with the came
material When the hot sun pours down
on sheet asphalt the asphalt softens and
is easily torn up by the hoofs of heavily
loaded teams. Union Street does not
present the smooth surface now that
1t did before the summer sun got
chance at it.
There is now a desire with some MEM
bers of the Council 20 substitute asphalt
block for sheet asphalt on the streets
now to be paved. Some say the property
holders are expecting sheet asphalt, and
II change We're made they would prob
ably object to paying that part Of the
expense to be assessed against their
property. The chairman of the Public
Property Committee says the people
would hardly be so unreasonable as to
ask the city TO give them an inferior
pavement just because they at first had
thought it would be a substantial one
The matter may yet come before the
Council again.

STREET sPRINKLERS.

Three street sprinkiers are insufficient
to keep down the dust in Petersburg,
and the city fathers are unwilling to add
five more to that number. Eight sprink-
lers would be adequate, but economy
IS uppermost in the minds of those in
charge of the city's affairs. There is
great deal of complaint from the cih-
zens because they have to suffer from
the heavy dust clouds Chairman Tai
ley. of the Committee on Streets, says
he can do nothing to relieve the situa-
ton, as he is not the whole Council.
The matter of street-improvement is
a question much discussed at this time
The Council has decided to repave the
roadway of Washington and High
Streets, two of the principal residential
streets 1t is about settled that most of
the new pavement Will be sheet asphalt.
Twelve months ago, when the city de-
cided to repave many of the streets,
committees and individuals were sent to
various cities to ascertain the kind OF
pavement that would best suit the needs
of the streets in Petersburg.

San Francisco Letter in New York Sun.
Did you ever think of it? There are on
this coast. say 1900 Cinnamon, and every
one of them is governed, not by the Unit
Cd Srates. but by their own society rules.
When a Chinaman gets a grudge against
a man he goes to professional murderer
and hires him to kill the man. If you
should want TO get rid of some one these
societies would do 1t for you with dis
match. If The Chinaman has one lad more
than another it is for secret societies. The
average American believes these societies
N he benevolent organizations, but the
ma ioritv are formed to defeat the ends of
iustice and enable the members TO com
ynit a variety OF crimes without danger of
punishment. Americans call the members
bieh binders. but the Chinese call the orr
ganizations Ratchet societies and the mem
hers Ratchet boys, which well describes
them.
fThe history of the Ratchet or high
hinder societies in.America goes back to a
lot of political refugees, who came 90 this
country some years ago after an attempt
10 overthrow the government in China.
There are many societies, but the grand
head is the Triad Society in China. which
crops up now and ifen. II any plan IS
discovered against the reigning house in
china YOU may be sure that 1t can be
