KEEPING WITHIN BOUNDS
COUNCIL DOES MORE FIGURING
ON NEW CITY HALL,
Architect Directed to Make Certain
Changes When New Bids Would
Be Asked For.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.

From Sundays Daily Gazette.
Among some Of the changes recon-
mended by the architects in order to
enable the city to build the new pub
lie building within the limit fixed was
the use of stoves instead of steam for
heating purposes, cutting off a frac-
ton from the height of the tower,
emitting stone stills at side and real
and plumbing in the second story,
reducing the height of the building
itself by two feet, emitting brick d.
vision walls in the boiler room and
concrete footing all around.
These with the other changes sug-
gested, would in the opinion of the
architects, make a saving a%ggregating
something over $4,000. AS a still
further source of contraction they sug-
gested that ordinary instead of press
ed brick could be used by means OF
which substitution another consider
able sum could be used. They recon-
mended, however, that this be lone
only as a last resort. BY using stoves
in place of steam it was estimated that
a saving of over $4,000 could be made
as a starter.
These we're the changes the city
council was asked to consider last
night when it met to take action in
the matter of devising ways and
means of building and furnishing a
city hall at a cost not exceeding $32,-
900. When proposals were submitted
in accordance with the plans and
specifications as originally prepared
it was found that acceptance of the
lowest bid, to furnish and render the
building fit for occupancy, would in
cur an expenditure considerably in
excess of the appropriation, and ac-.
cordingly all were rejected.
After considerable discussion of the
proposed notifications of the plans it
was finally decided to advertise for
bids to be received at the first meet
ing in January, and to extend the time

price either with steam heat or warm
air, or without either. The changes
the architect was directed to make in
the original plans were the following;
To omit the concrete %footings. ex-
cept under the fire station; to cut one
foot off the tower; omit the plumbing
second story; to substitute plank
for the stone walls in the coal room:
omit the brick division wall in the
boiler room; omit iron bars on one
window and iron gratings over two
areas, and to include the vault doors
and jail work in the contract. Sep
arate bids will also be received for
vaults, jail work and also for the heat
It was thought that with these
changes the building could be com.

HUFF o GUILTY.
Dismissed on Original Charge and Re-
arrested for Minor Offense.

Dismissed on Original Charge and Re-
arrested for Minor Offense.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
William Huff, who was arrested ten
days or two weeks ago by Inspector
Collins on the charge of stealing a
horse from Paul Mccormick, had his
preliminary hearing before Judge
Fraser, yesterday afternoon.
Quite a number of witnesses were
examined and while it was shown
that the accused had had the horse
in his possession since sometime last
spring, the evidence failed to sub
stantiate the charge of larceny, as it
was proved that the animal was a
stray and had wandered onto Huff's
place, neal Canyon creek, and he had
used it as a saddle horse. The testi-
mony of several witnesses was that
Huff had made inquiry of them as to
the ownership Of the horse and that
he had " claimed to own it.
Upon motion of the county attorney
the defendant was dismissed, but al
most Immediately he was rearrested
on a warrant charging him with the
offense of having driven and caused
to be driven from it's usual range a
horse not the property of himself. A
plea of not guilty was entered at once
and Attorney Johnston, who appears
for Huff, demanded a jury trial. The
motion was granted and hearing of the
case was fixed for 10 o'clock this
morning.
In the meantime the defendant is
out on his own recognizance.

OFFICERS MEETING.


Second Regiment Leaders Talked Over
Mantle.
The officers of the Second regiment
met last night at their rooms in the
armory and talked over the plans FOR
the week of camp, beginning on Mon
day, August IL. 1t is practically decid-
ed that the men will carry their blue
uniforms and will wear their kahki
suits. 1t is also expected that the at
tack on Tuesday will be made in light
marching order the baggage being le1t
at the temporary camp. The heavy
baggage will go directly through, as has
been the custom in the past.
There will be an innovation in regard
to the distribution of rations this year.
All the officers will take their cooking
or mess outfits and they will partake or
the same rations as the men. Captain
Wells said last night that it was believ-
ed the move would be a good one and
that the men as we'll as the officers were
anxious to see how the plan would turn
out
Other matters pertaining to the camp
were discussed and general plans were
made for the Second regiment in re-
gard to getting under way, etc, which
We're about the same as usual.
The meeting last night was the last
before the regiment stars for Mantle,
and was very largely attended.

Church Street Jeweler Says That Bust
ness is on the Increase.
John H. G.. Durant, the well known
ieweler of Il Church street, reports that
the general business boom which the
country is experiencing is noticeably
felt in his particular line of trade. PEG :
pie are making more purchases, and
making more expensive purchases. than
in years past There appears to be
plenty of ready money in the hands of
those who spend freely when they have
the cash to spare. In the choice OF
watches there is not the expected hes
itation as to the amount Of the outlay,
purchasers caring less about quibbling
over a. few dollars difference in the
price. So, too, in repairing there IS
much done, the ravages of years being
made good in these prosperous days.
Mr.. Durant's optical department is
more hourishing than ever. The eX-
cellent work done is attested by hum
dreds of patrons. The optical room is
the largest in the state,
All of this is very pleasant news and
Mr. Durant's many friends will be glad
to know Of his success.

TOO LONG A JOURNEY.

Before the train for the west had
fairly pulled out of the depot at Jersey
City, all the passengers in the day
coach knew the elderly gentleman in
the front seat was bound for Chicago.
Also that he had left his home in Lin
erick two weeks before to Join his son
Tommy" whom he had not seen in
twenty years. Sundry bags, boxes and
packages that completely filed the
aisle around his seat proved he was
well prepared for the journey. He
seemed as happy as a schoolhoy when
he spoke of meeting his boy in Chicago
AS the first movement of the train de-
noted that the long ride had begun he
was bubbling over with the delightful
anticipation of the pleasure in store
for him. Again and again he hold how

ky when sixteen years old, set tied in
Chicago, earned lots of money and
finally sent transportation to his old
dad to join him in the western metrop-
oils.
When the train was out q half hour
or more the old gentleman became anx-
ious, peering out Of the window and
changing from one seat to another.
Finally the conductor came through for
tickets and the Chicago passenger in
quired Of him if they were near his sta
ton yet. The conductor smiled and
shook his head. The train stopped at a
small town in western New Jersey and
the mans face frightened up as he
asked a young woman seated close by
If it was Chicago. He became more
and more nervous as the train started
up again. Passengers who had been
interested in their newspapers and
magazines laid them aside to watch the
antics of the old man. Whenever the
train slowed up he would start from
his seat to know if they had finally
reached the big town where his son was
waiting for him.
Finally as the train pulled into the
beautiful Broad street station at Phil
adelphia, a majority of those in the
coach prepared to leave the train, and
with them the man from Limerick

speaker pointed out the nature of the So
called higher criticism as the simple at
tempt to understand the Bible as it is. 1t
asks not what men have supposed, but what
the writer meant at his time and for his
day The Bible is both book for men and
of God. We must know the human, the his
torical. This is critical study. But this
does not overthrow the value of the Bible,
which does not rest on theory of infalIi-
biity. Strictly speaking, Gods word Is not
the Bible but in the Bible.

the afternoon. He discussed the mooted

question. 1t has been too much made the
central question. The more important
question after all is that of moral results.
On certain questions Psychologists agree,
these may be taught in higher grades. The
alcohol habit Is the great question, not the
food value of a small amount of alcohol.
The result of this habit, moral, physical,
intellectual, are plain and can be easily
taught. Make children feel that you are
seeking to teach the truth, not to make out
a case.
