SESSION OF COUNCIL
LAST NIGHT.
THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS
OF the Second Branch Was Approved
in the First-An Effort to Get Will
helm License Through Was Pre-
vented BY Adjournment - Other
PROCEEDINGS.

An adjourned session of Council was
held last night The business trans
acted by the Second Branch at Tues
day nights meeting awaited the con-
currence of the First Branch when
that body adjourned. Last night it
was taken UP and passed by the First
Branch.
The session would have been the
tamest of the present Council but for
the effort to get two rejected liquor
licenses through the Second Branch.
Mrs. Mary Kleves made another appli-
cation for license at No. 1915 Market
street She sent a typewriter petit
tion which was read by Clerk Ed.
Wolfe. 1t stated in effect that it was
the first time she had ever been ac-
cused of conducting a disorderly place.
1t recited the fact that the license had
been recommended unfavorably upon
the statement of the Chief of Police
that her place of business was a fake"
hotel, and that she had no opportunity
of offering evidence in her own defense
before the committee on petitions and
remonstrances. Therefore she filed a
new petition and asked for a thorough
investigation, in order to be enabled to
prove that the charges are unfounded
Petitioner said she not only did not en-
courage improper conduct at her place
of business, but expressly prohibited it,
and she asked for a fair opportunity to
refute the charges against her.
President Schafer said the motion
was to reaffirm the action of the COM
mittee on petitions and circumstances.
The motion was put and carried.
Counsel for Mrs. Kleves alleges that
this was improper, and added that the
matter will again be brought up at the
next regular meeting of Council
Attorney John Arbenz was granted
the privilege of the floor, and addressed
helm, whose application was referred
back to the committee on petitions and
remonstrances for investigation and
report Mr.. Arbenz said the commit
tee had not met. He said he had called
upon every member of the committee
with one exception, and intimated
that he had no intention of consulting
that member. The others had agreed
that the application might be taken up
and passed without report upon it by
the committee. Some of Mr. Arbenzs
remarks were evidently directed to Mr..
Philip Maurer, who led the fight against
Wilhelm at the last meeting.
When MIR. Arbenz concluded, Mr..
Maurer took the floor, and retorted in
kind. He said Mr.. Wilhelm had con-
victed himself out of his own mouth

The Peculiar Costume of the Women OF
Koran. n

hOrGHs -
In Korea. where Chinese customs
predominant, it is hard to account for
the origin of the veil. The women of
the well-to-do middle and upper classes
are kept most %sedulously guarded. The
latter are seldom allowed to go out at
all, and then only at night. A curious
tale is told to account for a certain
feature of the wells. This consists OF
a pair of dependent and evidently use

the folds Of the veil away from her
eyes so that she may look through the

Is this: Several hundred years ago,
when Korea was fighting the Chinese,
the entire Korean army n all the
men In the capital of Seoul had
marched out in defense of that capital
to meet an attacking force toward the
north. At the same time another force,
unknown to the Koreans, approached
Seoul from the south. Since every
able-bodied man had already gone to
the attack, the city and the remain
Ing inhabitants were threatened with
destruction. The Korean women how
ever, like their sisters in other parts
OF the world, devised a plan by which
they might fustrate the enemy. They
donned their husbands long white
garments with the wide sleeves. and
gathering together, marched boldly to-
ward the foe, who, appalled, by the
sight of such an unexpected force of
Koreans, fled in haste, and the city
was saved. When the army returned
and 1t was made known what the wom-
en- had done, 1t was decreed that there
after they should wear mems sleeves
hanging from their wells as a mark of
honor and a badge of their bravery in
the national crisis. Even more IN
comfortable than the wells must be the
massive headdress of the who

Of questioning the custom. Huge

Crow May suppIant carrier plroo,.


Germany, which brought out the dog
rs a bearer of help to the wounded on
the battlefield, is thinking now of sup
planting the carrier pigeon with the
crow. One argument in favor of this
substitution is that while people might
kill carrier pigeons for food, the crow
would be exempt from that danger, as
''eating crow" is a term of contempt
with civilized peoples. On the other
hand, If people will not eat crow, crow
will eat carrion, and it is feared that
these crafty birds might linger too
long over the %succulent feasts of the
battlefield to make them valuable as
carriers of dispatches. However, a So
ciety has been formed in Germany to
exploit the crow in this new field.
Members of this society believe that
the crow can be tanned and trained.
and awhile ago the Kaiser solemnly
reviewed a row in a march past"
which in foreign armies is equivalent
to u review" The emperor walked
around the crow. and then the crow
marched past the emperor, who ex-
pressed himself as delighted with the
appearance of his newest and strangest
recruit. But as to experimenting with
the crow as a bearer of Dispatches
that really hasn't been done yet.

Part OF the West African Coast Ravaged
by the Disease.
Malarial fever is the greatest scourge
along the west coast of Africa. but
the country has usually, though not
always, been spared v~isitations of yell
low fever, which is far more preva-
lent along the tropical western coast
of the Atlantic than on the eastern
side OF that ocean. In the past sum-
mer, however, yellow fever scourged
West Africa from the desert of Sa-
hara southwark through Senegal. In
August last, says the Revue Fran
caise, many of the officers of the
French army of occupation and also
several sisters of charity died of the
disease. The government of the coun-
try was completely di~sorganized on
account of it. Mr.. Chaudie, the gov
ernor general, departed for Europe.
leaving Gen. Combes in charge of his
duties. The army doctors heroically
remained at their posts and have done
splendid service in fighting the scourge.
1t is believed that the plague was in
troduced by a Syrian and his
ions who spread it over the country.
The result was a complete embargo
upon commerce, as no vessel anchored
there and no European was able to
leave. The local government is very
much blamed in France for not taking
better precautions against the spread
ing of the scourge.
