ENLISTED IN MARINES.
Business Brisk at the Local Recruit
ing Station.

Business was brisk at the local ma
rine recruiting station in this city dur
ing the week. Six young men were en-
listed by Captain j. l.. Mahoney yes
terday, and sent to League Island navy
yard. They are; Parker Buck and Jas
per Milligan, of this city, and Willis
Courtright, Harry Hutchings, John
White, Leo Mcdonald, of Olyphant.
The young men will be taught the
duties of marines at the barracks, after
which they will be sent to various naval
stations on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, and hence TO sea on some of our
new men-of-war, which are likely TO
take long cruises through Europe and
other countries, and the men will
thereby store away a vast amount of
knowledge of the world and its biog-
raphy, at Uncle Sans expense.
The marines have been thanked many
times by congress for their daring eX-
ploits in foreign countries.

Because Select Councilman ID. w.
Vaughan thought last night that an
attempt was about to be made TO call
up the license tax ordinance, he made
u sudden motion to adjourn and sue
ceeded in getting 1t passed before the
majority of the members knew exactly
what was going ON.
There were only fourteen members
present and several of those absent
were known to be in favor of the ordi-
nance. The supporters of the measure
talked among themselves a little and
decided that if the measure was called
up on third reading it would meet
defeat.
Fearful that some of its opponents
would call it up, it was decided TO
adjourn as soon as possible. Coun-
Gilman Vaughan arranged things
quietly with President Chittenden and
then stepped back to his seat.
While council was yet considering
ordinances on third reading. Mr..
Vaughan said suddenly, Il move we
adjourn" President Chittenden had
the question put and had declared that
the motion had been passed before the
other members knew what was up.
WAS SURPRISED.
"Are We adjourned? Why, what's
the matter? How's this?" said Mr..
Schroeder, looking around, very much
surprised. Mr.. Vaughan looked over
at him with IA quiet smile.
We got YOU that time all right,
n TAM" he said as he passed out the
door.
Mr.. Oliver introduced an ordinance
providing for widening of the road e
way and narrowing of the sidewalks
on South Main avenue, between FeH
lows and oxford streets. AS the com
tract for the paving of this part OF
the street has Just been let to NJ. H..
Dale the ordinance was reported
forthwith from committee and was
passed on first and second readings.
The following new ordinances We're
introduced and referred to their proper
committees:
BY Mr.. Notwithstanding $500

bills.

NITRO GLYCERlNE
IN SAFE EXPLODED
Effort to Open Safe in Moosic Post
Office Was Followed by Sc
rious Consequences.

\ quantity of nitro glycerine, which
had been left in the safe of the Moosic
postofiice by the burglars who attempt
ed to crack the strong box early Thurs
day morning, exploded yesterday
morning, while John Center, the ex-
pert machinist, was trying TO unlock
the massive doors. Mr.. Center was
slightly burned on the right hand, but
nobody else was injured
After knocking off the outer mech
anism of the combination with an axe
the robbers had made a pocket with
soap close by the hole. Nitro glycerlne
and a fuse had been introduced and all
was in readiness for the setting off
when one of the gang accidentally
stepped on the exploding cap, innict-
ing a serious wound to his foot. Mr..
Center was working with this lock and
had just cut off the tube left by the
thieves when the nitro glyccrine was
exploded by the friction,
There was a report and the con-
cussiOn shook the building. The charge,
however, Was not sufficient 10 throw
back the door, but later when the locks
were released after Mr.. Genter's thirty
minutes labors it was found that the
interior OF the safe was a wreck. The
books of the postofiice and other papers
kept in the safe were torn asunder,
and destroyed beyond recognition. The
stamps, money and other accessories
of the office were kept elsewhere, and
escaped destruction.
The whereabouts or Identity of the
burglars are still battling the authori-
ties. They are believed to be a gang
of tramps, who have been committing
petty burglaries throughout this part
of the state and their apprehension
within few days seems likely.

MEETING OF COMMON COUNCIL
Charge That Councilman Crafts
Name Was Forged

An otherwise duh session of common
council was enlivened last night by
William Rush, councilman from the
Eighteenth ward declaring with much
vehemence that the name of Charles
Graf had been affixed TO an ordinance
considered by the light and water COM
mittce by some one other than Mr..
Graf. He further stated that that gem
tleman had not even attended the
meeting of the committee, when that
ordinance was considered.
Admitting that Mr.. Graf was not at
the meeting, Councilman r. j. Roche,
of the Eighteenth ward, replied that
Mr.. Graf had signed the report prev
ious to the meeting of council. The
discussion arose over the ordinance
providing for an electric light in Kel-
lermans court between Wyoming and
Washington avenues. After a further
passage of words between Messrs.
Rush and Roche, and after Council
man Paine had suggested that any IT.
regularities should be unearthed and
the culprit punished, the motion was
made to recommit to the committee,
which was passed by a unanimous
vote.

Nttistic and Intricate Gold Filings
 Thing of the Past.

"The mt dern deptist need not be nearly as skilled a workman as his father was" said one of the craft yes- terday, as he morrily knitted up foot or two of nerve with his little crochet hook entirely disregarding his patients moans. You see, there are no beau ttful and artistic gold filings put in nowadays As soon as a tooth gives an opportunity for showing skill in fill Ing. presto. 1t is cut off and crowned 5r bridged with gold. \ gold tooth IS considered not unbeautlful. it seems but nowadays porcelain filings are preferred to metal Gnes for cOnsplcu- ous places. The porcelain comes Tn powder, an impression of the cavity IS taken, the filling made, baked hard, 1n- serted. and secured by the cement with which the cavity has first been padded. As all shades of porcelain are 10 be had 70 match the different tints of toeth, these filings are quite inconspicnoHs' There are a few people still who don't mind showing a gold mine when they open their mouths, and among these are colored people, who seem to think hey gain a certain amount of dlstiuc- tion from such a display. Among tho most curious requests that I have had in regard to work was one from an acs
 ress to extend cavity she had in front tooth so that 1t would form J, and fill it with gold. She explained that she was going to marry man named John, and that she thought It would be perfectly lovely to have his initial in evidence whenever she talk ed I finally dissuaded her from this original project by pointing out that 1t might be embarrassing in later years, If she should chance to marry man named Thomas or Richard. She eyi dent1y saw the good sense Of my re- marks, but she relinquished her re- markable idea reluctantly. Women generally very sensibly want to make the fact that they have had to resort to art to preserve their teeth aa imper- cepttble as possible, so, as said be- fore, there's no really beautiful work done at present in the way of intricate filings, and that's a fact. t.'-p3ltimore News.

GREAT SALT LAKE,
No Living Thing in 1t and No Danger
 of Being Drowned.

The water of the Great Salt lake, Utah, is clear and transparevt, with a bottom of fine white sand and mar gin of incrQsted salt. It is one of the purest and most concentrated primes in the whole world. It's waters give suS. tenance to no living thing; there is net the smallest insect or worm td trighten the most timid hather, and the bathing is the most perfect sea 1athlEg In the wlole of North Ameri
 ra or in Europe No l,um.a body can siah III it. One may actually walk the NateI, nc matter how deep 1t is. Your b0Gy Ni!I perSis.tently rise up. tha .nGuldeTs above the surface, Cr you gay even sit down :n it. It's V Ilder- ,uI buOyaGey must be experienced tG as lPaItzod. No knowledge of swim Gsi,-s- ts peeessary, Ore may enter the
 ile without the slightest fear; all y2E have to do Is to lie down and Ha3t. BUt 10 swim in it, that is an .tEer thing! When your hands ara pu. Gnder the water to take stroke, y2ur feet, like Banquo's ghost, will not go down. It is impossible to keep more than one end of your body under water at iime You cannot swim, b&t if yop are a man you can float on your back. with your arms crossed under yoar head, and smoke your pipa or cigar with as much ease as if in Your own room. The water is so salt tat it cannot be swallowed without great danger of stranguiation; smals 1rop in the eye, too, gives much pain. But i'll spite of all the dangers, bath- ing in the Great Salt lake is refreshing snd invgorating, notwithstanding that the body must be rebatAed in fresh water afterWard to remove the i'm. mense quantity of salt which adheres to the skin. It is hard work to make any headway, even against the smallest waves. Nearly half million people bathe in the Great Salt lake ever, year; they come from all over the world. and tourists are beginning to fealize that Salt Lake City and the magnificent surroundings present the greatest scope of novelty. and is des
 tined to be leading watering place
