Was All Right When Records Were
Kept on Barrel Heads.
It Won't Do Now; and The People Can't Select
Their Own Government.

ut is all wrong" said Judge Geo. NJ.
Anderson, speaking of the City Coz
missioner law just after the appoint
ment of new members had been ap-
proved by the Council Monday night.
He referred to the law-not the ap-
pointments.
"Time was, 20 years ago, when j.
Park Alexander and IA few others got
together in the evening and managed
the affairs of the city, when a City
Council was all right. When they
kept the records on barrel head and
afterward lost the barrel, it did very
well. But it won't do now. Things
have changed. Why, if a private cor
poration spending S5OO,OOO a year was
managed by a few directors of no es-
pecial ability who got together once IL
week or twice Il month--and at night
al tlai-llow long would it be solvent?
1t would be in receivers hands in
&C days.
What government do we want? We
want no City Council to begin with.
Abolish it. Give us a government by

FEnALE MAIL.

That sounds moro contradictory than
II is, when attention Is called to its being
a description Of the largest mail received
by any man in the United States exclu-
sively from women. This "fcmale mail"
is received by DIR. r. v. Pierce the cele-
trated specialist in women's diseases,
chief consulting physician to the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buff
falo, N. Y.
1t is only fair to say that 1t is not the
man that women write to, but the doctor.
One Of the remarkable features of this
correspondence is that years after cure
has been effected, grateful women con-
tinue to write to DR.. Pierce, being thank
full for health and for the kind and
fatherly advice, which was blended with
the physicians counsel and which was
SO helpful in preserving the health when
regained.
The offer of free consultation by let
ter is extended by DR.. Pierce to every
sick and ailing woman. Every letter
received is read i'll private, answered in
private and its contents treated as sa-
cred confidence. To exclude any third
party from the correspondence, all
answers are mailed In plain envelope,
bearing upon it no printing or advertising
whatever. Address DR.. R. " Pierce,
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescr' otion, the
great remedy for female troubl , irregu-
larities, debilitating drains, inflammation
and liberation, is for sale by all dealers
in medicine. Accept no substitute
which may be recommended as "just as
good " that the dealer may make little
extra profit.

An American woman, Mrs. COnOver.
widow of a former secretary of the
United States legation in Madrid and
a long resident of London. has been
doing a good work in Paris. 1t is
generally known that the Paris cab
drivers are or have been VIGOROUSLY
cruel to their horses and unskillful in
their craft. The visitor to the French
capital endures many a shock before
he becomes callOus to the sufferings
of the unshOd horses which fall at
every turn on the slippery asphalt
boulevards and are dashed necessarily
by their drivers. When Mrs. ConOver
visited Paris, she chose not to become
callOused. She talked about the cruel
treatment of the horses, she wrote to
the newspapers about it, she tried to
organize a citizens movement in pro-
test. Finally she induced the chief Of
police to issue an order for the arrest
of drivers maltreating their horses.
Then she went to the streets and be-
gan the watch for offenders. Her or
ders for arrests were obeyed, she be
came known to every driver, public
interest was aroused and sentiment
was enlisted on the side of laws long
dormant. Since then a great banquet
for the 10000 cab drivers has been
given by the Paris Society For the
Protection of Animals, and prizes were
awarded for special care and kindness
to horses. The promise now is that
the old abuses are to be done away
with and Paris cab drivers brought
into the list of mercifuI men.

Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson is
greatly elated over the successful re-
suits of the experiments in tea grow
ing at the Pinehurst gardens near Sum-
merville, S. c., and is now preparing to
use $4,000 appropriated by congress by
sending out a large number of tea
plants to the agricultural colleges in
the gulf states. He believes it will
soon be demonstrated that tea can be
raised with profit all over the south,
possibly including states as far north
as Tennessee and Missouri. and that in
time the United States will cease i'm
porting tea and will become an export
er of that article. Already one or two
companies with large capital have been
organized to establish tea plantations.
The tea raised at the Pinehurst gar
dens in 1899 sold for over $4,000, some
of it bringing 81 a pound. The Amer
lean product is said to be superior to
any Of the imported black teas. Last
year the yield was II per cent greater
than in 1899 and was sold in bulk at a
price that netted a handsome profit
The experiments Of the last three years
seem to prove that a good grade Of
American tea can be grown at a cost
not exceeding 10 cents a pound and
that it can be sold in bulk at from 80
to so cents a pound. AS the yield aver
ages 400 pounds to the acre the profit
on this basis would be from 100 to IT'S
per cent.

Along with Kansas, Washington state
shares the honors in the capture of
Aguinaldo. While General Funston, re-
warded with a brigadier- generalship in
the regular army for his feat, was the
commander, two Washington boys who
went out with the volunteers we're at his
right elbow. They were brothers from
the unheard of hamlet of CIaquato.
somewhere over toward the Pacific coast.
The elder was the commander of the
Macabebes, and the younger was the
same kind of a hero as Funston, except
in rank, which he has as yet been too
young to earn. 1t is well, though, that
such sons of Washington stood at
Funston's right elbow, with only three
or four whites around him. These Wash
ington boys were Captain Hazard, COM
handing the Macabebes, land Lieutenant
Hazard, his right-hand supporter.
Both volunteered in the First Washing
ton, fought through the Philippine war,
and then, when the regiment was sent
home, enlisted in the famous Eleventh
volunteer cavalry. In both the First
Washington and the cavalry these boys
have made military names for them
selves-such as to place them in the
front rank for the capture of Aguinaldo.
