BUREAU OF ASSESSMENT.
Decide to Assess. Spring Street Prop
 erty at Two-thirds of Cost.

Decide to Assess Spring Street Prop
 erty at Two-thirds of Cost.
 The bureau of assessment met last night and talked over the matter of assessing property for paving on North Willow, North Main, Grove, West Main and Spring streets. It was decided that the property on Spring street pay two-thirds of the entire costs of the work. Property owners on North Will low, North Main and Grove streets will be asked to pay on one-fourth basis and property on West Main street will be assessed one third. The reason offered for charg- ing two-thirds of the cost against abutting property on Spring street and only one-fourth on other streets, was that Spring street is very narrow, and that even at that difference the Spring street people will come out of it cheap CT than the others. It was also stated that Spring street Is not as much of a public thoroughfare as North Willow or North Main streets and that much of the benefits that come from the paving in the first named street ac- crues to property in that street. This last contention will hardly hold. Spring street was paved because 1t was represented that more teams use IT 1udu ally OlueT SuOTl StIeeC dDOul the center and that on this account the amount of dirt tracked out of there onto the other streets was on expense to the city which should be got rid of. The statement that the street is mar row is likely to be denied i'll any quar- ter. There was some discussion rela- tive to the big square on North Main street at it's junction with Bishop and North Elm streets, and after an ex- change of opinion it was decided to strike an uniform width for the street and assess property on that basis no matter whether it fronted on the square or not. According to this plan no property will be charged for q wider space than others, so that no one particular person can claim that he paid for paving the square, This will be met out of the general fund. The same rule will be applied with reference to the wide spot at the june tion of Cooke and North Main streets. In fact, that is the usual way. The whole matter was referred to the e1- gineer to make the computations. When all this has been done the bu- reau will report to the aldermen.

ALVORD MAKING MATS.
First Days Work of the Bank Teller
 in Sing Sing

Sing Sing, Jan Z4.-C. l.. Alvord, Jr, after coming out of his quarantine quarters at Sing Sing to-day, looked larger than ever in his new striped suit. An expert convict worker gave him his first lesson in the art of mak- ing mats. The bulky eX-bank teller was slow to take hold at first, but soon applied himself to the work, and evi- dently intended to make the best of the situation.
 The rough material used in the man. ufacture of mats Lad it's effect on All worlds soft hands, and he seemed to be glad when his first days work of hard labor for the state was finished. As he marched with the other convicts in his gang to his cell he received for his supper tin pail of tea and piece of ginger bread.
 A judgment for S5OO,O17 in favor of the First National bank has been en- tered against Cornelius l.. Alvord Jr, it's defaulting clerk, for moneys embedded by him.

VAN WYCK's REASONS
For Not Lowering the Flag on New
 York's City Hali.


 New York, Jan 24.-When aues- t,oned as to why he refused to order the flag at half-mast in New York, Mayor Van Wyck said: You under stand, I am following precedent long established. It has been observed by nearly every administration up to the present one, and since I have been in the City hall cannot recall q single time at which the flag has been low cred as courtesy on the occasion of the death of any monarch.
 We did not lower. the flag when President Carnot of France was assas- sinated, nor did we make any official demonstra tion. New York did not recognize officially the death of the empress of Austria, and the deaths of King Humbert of Italy and the Czar of Russia also were unobserved.
 T see no reason for the rule being changed. Since I have been mayor scores of my friends have called on me on different occasions with the re- quest that l should lower the flag. but l had carefully considered the advisa- bility of breaking the rule and refused There is no reason why new preee- dent should be esta bliShed now.
 T felt the death of General Joubert, the great Boer leader. as keenly as any one. l knew him personally. I had entertained him several times when he was in this country. I still believe he gave up his life for a just cause, and that the queen of England and her army were waging a wrongful war against the Boers. Had I followed the dictates of my heart when he died the flag over the City hall certainly would have come to half-mast. Almost all my friends called on me and begged me to break the rule for once at least, but 1 clung to the precedent.
 Il do Tot believe President McKin- ley ordered the flag to be lowered over the Capitol. If he did he did not fol- low the precedent.
 T will say. finally, as mayor of New ! ofk city. that we cannot possibly take official notice of the death of any foreign monarch. ruler nor general The flag must stay where it is.'

Reiff was well received by the crowd, but in the race he did not ap- pear to advantage. His mount and Edna Brown were entangled in the barrier at the start and finished in the ruck. But for the accident Edna Brown probably would have won Loates says he will not ride here. Fay, orites fell by the wayside, only two horses selected by the public getting home in front.

THE DOCTORS AND MORPHINE.

That accidental opium poisoning has repeatedly cut off a useful professional career is unfortunately true. But q morphine habit which controls one in every ten or twenty men is certainly not known to exist in the medical profession. Such 9 habit if it does exist, must be quite exceptional It is probably unknown among practition- CTS engaged in active duty We ob- serve that the writer speaks of the morphine habit as if it were merely q disease and nothing more. It has been customary with manly persons to refer to this and other aggravated forms of self-indulgenee in similar terms. They are regarded as vices which have ceased to give pleasure-as master passions which are hated but which will not be denied. Against this tyranny the will is supposed to have lost it's power of resistance. There are doubtless cases of habituai excess, the character of which is fairly so de- scribed. We are, however. of the opin- ion that too much has been made of such cases. It cannot be and i. is not true that | vice even after long Indulgence is always master and can not be withstood. 1t is equally certain that apparently confirmed inebriates and morphine takers have been en- :lbled to release themselves and have. remained in state of freedom. The force of habit whether innocent or hateful, Is usually very great, but this by no means implies that it must necessarily, even after long duration, annihilate the other controlling forces of will. To what extent it may have done so remains in many cases an uh- solved problem, and in this very un- certainty lies the germ of hope Unless we recognize this potent fact all pros poct of reform, 'al1k reason for. the efforts of temperance even. may be abandoned. No amount of fh6rapeu- tics will make a bad man good, or drunkard abRtemiou8 nnleae he iD d. lowed credit for such will power aB he has and is assisted Aes &Aai9ed to use tt for his moral rseiAanation.
