COUNCIL DID NOT MEET,
INTENDED TO CONSIDER RIP.
PER AMENDMENTS.
Mr.. Keller Had Resolution He In
tended to Introduce Opposing
the Ripper Clause.

A meeting OF the common council
was called for last night to consider
the amendments to the ripper" bill,
which have been prepared by the coun-
cilmanic legislative committee, and
such a meeting would have been held
had not Messrs. Alworth. Paine and
Mcdonald picked up their hats and
stolen out into the hall just as Clerk
Lynott began to call the roll.
On account OF the sudden leaving of
these three gentlemen, there was no
quorum and the members who re-
mained were obliged to adjourn. Mr..
Keller. who Is a member of the COM
mittee. was a little late in getting 10
the meeting. This may have prompted
the three members above mentioned
to break the quorum, but be that as
it may they made no effort to enter
the council chamber again when Mr..
Keller arrived, which was Just as the
roll was half called.
Mr.. Keller was prepared to spring q
little sensation in case the meeting was
held and he was a little bit dissap-
pointed that it was not. He had in
his inside pocket resolution which,
II passed, would have placed the coun-
Gil on record as opposed to the rip
per" bill.
This resolution after going on TO de-
clare that the idea of legislating duly
elected city officials out of office was
opposed to the fundamental principles
OF government by the people. etc, de-
clared that the common council was
opposed to the ''rlpper" bill in its en-
tirety. but most especially to the
schedule which contains the ripper
clause itself.
That resolution" said Mr.. Keller,
"embodies my personal views about
this ripper business and think the
views of every right thinking man in
this city today. The ripper feature of
the new bill is entirely wrong and /
haven't found one man yet who could
give me one good argument in favor

SILAS SAGGLEBY.
An Old Time Resident of storlxvills

An Old Time Resident of storkvins
centre Who Was La.y and Thrifty.
"One of the wealthiest of the old time
residents of Storkville Center" said
Col. Calliper, reports the New York
Sun, was at the same time one of the
LATEST. This may seem like contra
diction, but the money was left to him
by his uncle. The uncle was a miserly
sort of man, who liked to accumulate
money, and loved to gloat over it. He
put most of his money into bonds, and
bought coupon bonds of small denomi-
nation, so that the pile would be bigger
to look at, and there would be more
coupons to cut of. The old mans chief
delight In life was cutting of these
coupons.
II don't suppose that one needs to be
misery, though, to find enjoyment In
such work as that. As matter Of fact,
I know of very few people, whatever
their condition IN life, or their temper
ament, who would not find pleasure in
plying the coupon shears. Not so, how
ever, with Silas--his name was Silas
Saggleby-he was too lazy even for
that; he used to hire man to cut Off
the coupons for him. But the first
thing he did after coming into the
property was to change ell the little
bonds into the fewest possible big ones,
90 that there would be fewer coupons to
cut and lie could get the work done for
the smallest possible amount So you
see that, lazy as he was, and he was the
LATEST man / ever knew, he had some
thing of his uncle's thriftiness, too"
