The steamer Spokane which went to
Wild Goose yesterday. arrived in the city
five hours late, owing to break in the
machinery which occurred at Lime
Point, caused by the hard pull through
the shallow water. Captain Baughman
states this is the last trip until the water
rises again, as it was barely possible to
make the trip yesterday. The steamer
took up quantity-of feed aud provisions
for Chris Thiessen which will be taken

sioner was ordered to put in the same.
The question Of watering places and
fountains was brought up by a sugges-
ton from Mayor Beach. William Boil
linger and Alb Anderson had offered to
supply the fountains and trough for their
corner if the city would provide the wa
ter. Mr.. Wilkinson preferred the in
formation that the water company would
donate the water. The various members
then became heightened and demanded
filagreed metal fountains aud troughs,
as they are to be supplied without cost.
Upon motion Of Mr.. Weisgerber the
Office Of street commissioner and build
| ing inspector were segregated from that
Of city engineer, and William Denny,
city marshal, was given the duties Of
these Offices. The Office of sewer inspector
was designated as not being imposed
upon the marshal.
The city council met this morning at
10 O'Clock for the special purpose Of
electing a city engineer and consulting
with DIR. Boston about the removal of the
old mill from the street.
The question Of lease for site upon
which to remove the mill was discussed
at length. DIR. Boston contended for a
lease Of the river front between the mill
and the bridge for twenty-five years, to
which proposition number Of the coun-
cilmen objected. A motion was made by
Mr.. Weisgerber to grant lease for 10
Years, with the proviso that the lease
should be forfeited in the event that the
railroad should be removed from First
street to the river back of the old mill
within 10 years. The motion carried by
a unanimous vote.
Mr.. Wilkinson was requested to secure
from the city attorney the proposed lease
DR.. Boston did not accept the PROPOSE
ton.
4 The question Of city engineer came ur
for consideration. Mr.. Briggs said he
did not desire the position unless the
council was unanimous in the desire that
he succeed Mr.. Mccullough. In thai
event he would accept the Office if build
ing inspector was segregated from that O
engineer. 1t was pointed out that Mr.
Denny had already been appointed build
ing inspector.
The salary of the city engineer wa.
fixed at $50 month.
/ Edison Briggs was elected to the ofice
Of city engineer by the unanimous vot'
Of the council.

HARDENING PLASTER OF PARIS
Process by Which the Usefulness of the
 Composition May be Enhanced.

sThese plaster casts are very success fnl as a rule," said a lover of fine art in the statuary gallery at the Art insti- tate the other day, but unfortunately, tley cannot be long preserved. The humid weather, of which we have a superabundance in this locality, will destroy them ere many years have passed. ' This is the general complaint. Recently, however, a patent has been taken out in Germany for the treat ment of articles of plaster of paris with an aqueous solution Of ammonium borate, for the purpose of hardening them and rendering them insolubie in water. The process referred to is said to give results decidedly superior to anything that has heretofore been pro- posed The hardening liquid may either be mingled with the plaster in the act of molding or may be applied on the surface Of the finished casts with brush. The solution is prepared oy dissolving beraeic acid in warm water, and adding thereto sufficient am- monia to form the borate, which re- mains in the solution. The manner of using the solution is thus described: The saturation of the gypsum or paint ing of the plaster of paris is carried out in the cold The objects are aub- sequently rinsed off and dried. The surface becomes very hard after two days and insoluble in water, while the induration in the interior advances more slowly. By means of the fluid described gypsum floors can be hara- ened and rendered more durable and impervious to the influence of the weather. Saturating with ammonium borate is said to be especially useful on the exterior walls of buildings, bar racks, etc; on the latter, because ex- periments have proved an antiseptic action of the liquid.

Justice, Who Doesn't Know "Put' from
 Gall" Sits on the Game.
 Without regarding the feelings Of devotees of golf, Justice Potts of Jer- sey City has brought the aristocratic game which cannot be played without cleeks, mashies, lofters, and drivers down to the level of "shinney," game that only requires a crooked stick, any old thing that will serve as ball, tough shins, and an opponent whom the player does not like. Mrs. Pauline Seharff lives near the links of the Jer- sey City Golf club, and has filed objec- tions to having her children swatted on the head by golf balls driven in an ec- centric manner by beginners at the game. Despite the heat, Mrs. Scharff also objects to having the windows of her home suddenly fall to pieces in a most disquieting way. It was to stop these annoyanees that Mrs. Scharff caused Albert L. Drayton, president of the club, to explain to Justice Potts not only how it happened, but also how he would stop it in the future. The elite of Jersey City crowded the courtroom yesterday, and listened to Mr. Drayton explain that the organi- zation, through late recruits, had made some of the most wonderful strokes on record. He added that in few days new course would be arranged, and the beginners quarantined nine miles from any sign of civilization. Mrs. Scharff was willing to compromise. and even went so far as to express her admira- ton of the game when played in an other state, and everything was set tied. But the game is sshinney, just the same" was the decision given by Justice Potts. and which caused the elite to loft their noses and foozle their glances as they left the putting green bound for the next tee New York Press.

FOUR MILLION FOR A YACHT.
Huge Fortunes Sunk in Building stump
 tuous Pleasure Craft.


 The new steam yacht Victoria and Albert, which has been built for the queen at Tenby, will be on completion the handsomest and fastest yacht any British sovereign has possessed. It will rank only second to the emperor of Russia's wonderful yacht, the Polar Star, which is said to have cost close upon $ 100000. Nothing more lavish ly elaborate than the fitting and deco ration of the Polar Star could easily be imagined. Money has been drilled into her frame in hundredweights The decorations of the dining saloon, which will seat 150 guests, cost approximately S100,000. Exquisite paintings by some of the most celebrated artists adorn the saloons and cabins and all the woodwork is elaborately carved. There is a fine library and music-room aboard and beautiful white marble fountain, while some of the ornaments are of the rarest The Standart, the czar's smaller steam-yacht of 4,300 tons, is much more frequently used than the Polar Star. She costs slight ly over S2,600,000 This is only about half the price of the Polar Star, but the Standart is one of the most sump- tuous yachts af1oat. There is accom- modation aboard for crew of 300, twenty officers and eighty passengers. There are three magnificent suites of apartments devoted to the use of the emperor, empress and dowager en- press, fine library, billiard-room and music saloon. The dining saloon is paneled in tulipwood; the door handles, finger plates and the lamp fittings are of heavily carved solid sil- yer. There is fine marble bathroom, with heavy silver fittings, and the walls and doors of the principal cabin are elaborately inlaid with ivory and a another of pearl. So many improve Tments and additions have been made to her appointments since she was first completed that she is now worth probably half as much again as she originally cost. The German emperor's famous steam yacht, the Hohenzollern. of nearly 4,000 tons, was, considering her beauty and purpose, compara- lively inexpensive vessel, costing con- siderably less than $1,0000 000 She has very beautiful interior and splen- did accommodation for crew and pas sengers alike, and is considered one of the fastest, smoothest-going yachts R1oat.

PET ANIMALS BECOME PESTS.
Horses, Cats, Pigs, Goats and Rabbits
 All Have Become Nu:sances.

All Have Become Nu .sances.
 Ordinary domestic animals under fa- vorable conditions often become pests. Some instances: In 1897 Nevada passed law permitting the killing of wild horses as nuisances. In Washington they are cut up to bait traps Most of the wild horses on the continent are descended from few l0osed by Cortez in Mexico. In Australia hunters shoot wild horses, which eat grass needed by the sheep and cattle. Cats have made B home op Cat island, one of the Ker- gueleas, where they are so wild that it is impossible to tame them. Their pro- genitors escaped from whaling vessels. They were put ashore on Sable island, off Nova Scotia, to kill the rabbits that had become a pest. Now the rabbits are gone and the cats are worse. Pigs were put ashore on many islands, such as Bermuda, the Galapagos and is- lands along the southern coast, as food for shipwrecked sailors. In every casf they have multiplied and become wild. Capt. Cook put some ashore on New Zealand, where they are now shot as game. St. Helena, mountainous is- land of small extent, 2,700 feet high, was heavily wooded at it's discovery To-day it is a rocky desert, owing to the introduction of goats by the Por- tuguese in 1513. When the goats ate off the underbrush rain washed away the soil and the big trees tumbled Rabbits are the worst of all animal scourges in Australia and New Zea- land. They are poisoned, killed for their skins, for their meat; but still they multiply. Cats alone can kill them off but then cats become a pest also Since 1873 New Zealand has shipped more than 29o.ooO.oo0 rabbit skins.-New York World.

An Interesting Discovery.

AT interesting discovery has reward ed the researches Of officials at Hamp- ton Court palace, London. There has always lurked suspicion that the walls of the famous Queen Anne's drawing room. which is in the center of the east wing of Wren's famous building, contained more than the sec- ond rate portraits of the Georges. Never however, was it supposed than an im- portant work by that once famous dec- orative artist. Verrio, had been con eealed from the public eye since 17S5, owing to a stupendous act of vanaal- ism, which, 1t is presumed was car ried out by Queen Caroline in 1735, probably to prevent the apotbesis of Queen Anne from meeting her eyes in her drawing room when she became queen. The date is known by the ex4 traordinary act of the paper hanger of that time, who, in covering up Verrio's work, scratched on his name and the date of the paper hanging. Tn taking down some of the portraits of the Georges, which were intended for Keu- elnstoH palaSe, It was noticed by an official that the top right hand corner elese3 t9 .''e ceiling seemed abruptly cut off from the general scheme of the beautiful ceiling. which everyone had seen and admired, and which repre- sented Queen Anne in the chariot of Justice. dressed in purple lined with ermine. Over her head is a crown, held by Neptune and Britannia, while surrounding and floating in the clouds are various allegorieal figures repre- senting Peace and Plenty, etc. The discovery now made shows that the whole of the walls were originally painted by Verrio in the same manner, the subject being Queen Anne's apotheosis as Queen of the Sea in the four great quarters of the globe.

- -~ - - ---- TO STOP BLEEDING.
Electricity Now Declared to Be the
 Best Relief.

Electricity Now Declared to Be the
 Rest Relief.
 The arresting of bleeding in surgical operations has always been one Of the difficulties in certain cases. and the electric current has been used before this with view to bringing abort that condition Of heat which is necessary in order to cause the blood to clot and so act as block to the mouth of bleeding vessels, arresting hemorrhage. This, indeed, has resulted in the utilization of the electric cautery, as it is called in certain operations, the platinum wire at red or almost white heat even sup planting the knife, because it burns through the tissues and at the same time prevents the wound bleeding to any great extent. This effect of heat was, indeed, known to our ancestors, who used red hot irons or boiling pitch. to scar the surface of the flesh after their operations, thus causing an im- mense amount Of suffering to the pa- tient, before the days of chloroform. A new adaptation of this use of cleo trieity, for the purpose of stopping bleeding has been devised by inelosing platinum wire in a pair of forceps or other instrument, the wire being insu- lated in bed of burnt pipe clay, and as soon as the bleeding vesse, is seiz- ed by the forceps and compressed in the ordinary way, an electric current Is turned on, whose effect is so great that the tissues and the walls of the blood vessels are all agglntinated, so that the blood is no longer able to pass.

St. w,nifred's Well to Be Protected,

MT. Justice Byrne has thrown the protecting ermine over the High Court of Justice over St. Winifred's We'll. in England, and declines to allow the water of the famous fountain-whieh is supposed to be endowed with mirac- ulous powers quite as wonderful as 2ny in the Grotto of Lourdes-to be bottled and ticketed for home and for eign consumption, like soda water or lemonade. The High Court of Justice did not exhibit the bottling of Wini- fred's mixture out of any churlish de- sire to keep her benefactions for the select few, but simply because the ripa- rian owners of the stream fed from the spring object to be deprived of their quantum of water to enrich the local board, who wished to sell it for their own pecuniary profit. These owners had enjoyed the rivulet from time immemorial. and preferred it's contents to a collection of useless sur gical appliances. His lordship held that, although the board were the cus- todians of the well, they had no right to carry off it's miraculous waters, which must remain in situ. Those who wish cures must get them on the spot An injunction preventing any in- terference with Winfred was accord- tngly granted

ESTIMATE SIZE OF THE SUN
Comparisons Show It to Re a Yer,
 Large Affair.

The earth on which we stand is, no doubt mighty globe, measuring as it does S,400 miles in diameter. yet what are it's dimensions in comparison with those of the sun? If the earth be rep resented by a grain of mustard seed, be represented by cocoanut. Per haps, however, more impressive con- ception of the dimensions of the great orb of day may be obtained in this way: Think of the moon. the queen of the night, which circles monthly does a majestic track at a distance of 240,000 miles from the earth. Yet the sun is so vast that if it were a hollow ball the moon could reyolye in the or bit which it now follows and still be entirely inclesed within the suns in terior. For every acre on the surface of our globe there are more than 10000 acres on the surface of the great lum- mary. Every portion of this iilimit- able desert of flame is pouring forth torrents of heat It has, indeed, been estimated that if the heat which is in- cessantiy flowing through any single square foot of the suns exterior could be collected and applied beneath the boilers Of an Atlantic liner it would suffice to produce steam enough to sus- tain in continuous movement those en- zines of 30,000=horse power which en- able a superb ship to break the record netWeen Ireland and America-Pear- sons Weekly.
