TO CLIP Mr.. REINHARDT'S WINGS.
City Council Proposes to Elect the Assist
ant City Solicitor,


ant City Solicitor
Thursday, City Council decided
TO take the matter of selecting an
assistant city solicitor out of the hands
OF the city solicitor and make the office
an elective one by Council, and in
accordance with this decision an ordi
nance was introduced by Mr.. Kane at
Ihursday's meeting providing that an
assistant city solicitor shall be elected
at tho last stated meeting in this
month for the ensuing term of two
years, beginning ON July 1st, Mt an
annual salary Of 5000. Provision is
also made that such an official shall
have been resident of the city for Mt
least one year prior to the time OF his
election. His successor is to be chosen
IN the same manner two years hence
and every two years thereafter. The
ordinance was given two readings and
referred to the law committee, which
Will, In all probability, make report
at the next meeting.
1t IS believed the ordinance will he
passed, although it has been intimated
that one or two Democratic members,
as well as the three Republican men,
pers, are opposed to the plan; first,
because it is not in accordance with
feSNSeSt'1 oAd noSOhiig, DbGduHb DdNlQ
J. Reinhardt, solicitor elect, following
precedent, has already selected man
for the place. IL is altogether likely,
however, that there Is a sufficient ma
lority in favor Of the ordinance to pass
II, and it will be passed, after which
it will be in the hands of Mayor Fahey
for his approval or rejection.
The situation is somewhat peculiar.
The ordinance being referred to the
law committee, that committee will
consult City Solicitor Conrad in regard
to thu matter. OF course, he will sim
ply be called upon to pass upon the
Legality Of the measure, but If he de-
cides that it is legal it will set aside
the precedent established by himself.
When Mr. Conrad assumed tho office
of city solicitor and provision was
made for q deputy the fact was evil
IDENTIFY overlooked by Council that the
method of making the appointment
was not set forth and Mr. Conrad was
permitted to make Dis own seleotion,
which he did, His first assistant was

The stars OF the flag represent the
idea taken from the constellation Of
Lyra which signifies harmony. The
blue of the field was taken from the
banner Of the Covenanters Of Scotland
likewise significant of the league and
covenant of the united colonies against
oppression, and incidentally Involving
vigilance, perseverance, and justice.
The stars were disposed 10 circle sym
bolizing the perpetuity of the unicn,
the circle being the sign of eternity.
Both the 10 stripes and the stars showed
the number Of the united colonies, and
denoted the subordination of the Stntps
to, and their dependence upon the
union, as well ms equality among them
selves. The whole was blending OF
the previous banners, namely, the red
flag of the army and the white one of
the navy. The red color, which in the
days of Roman glory was the signal of
defiance denoted daring, and the white
denoted purity. ffs
BY the War Department the stars in
the union are usually SO placed as to
form one large star. In the navy the
stars are in straight lines perpendicular

About Canes.

Gapes are usually due to filth, the
eating of the residuum of food prevl-
ously given and feeding In damp places
1t is believed that they are propagated
In earthworms, but no facts have yet
been discovered regarding such claim.
The best remedy for gapes, If the
chicks will eat Is to add teaspoonful
of spirits Of turpentine to a mixture of
one pint of cornmeal and half pint Of
middlings. Thoroughly incorporate the
turpentine with the dry material, then
scald as much of the material as may
be required and feed to the chicks on a
clean board. Put ten drops of carbolic
acid in every pint of drinking water
and change the water frequently one,
day. There Is no sure remedy fo,,
gapes. and inserting feather tips in T.
windpipe to draw out the cape worn
can be done only by an experleno
person. There are suggested remed'
but they are sometimes as fatal to
chicks as the gapes.
