There was lengthy and interest

day afternoon, when committees
from the Legislature and the Board
Of Health tried to discuss the Leper
Settlement question. The Board Of

opposed any proposition Of SELF
government for the lepers at the
Settlement. Long before DR.. Ray

from Cur unfortunate fellow citi-

Roosevelt Slohbers.

The following address was made
by Vice. President Roosevelt upon
his taking the office as president OF
the American Senat
THE history OF free government is
in large part the history OF those
representative legislative bodies, in
which, from the earliest times, free
government has found it's loftiest
expression. They must ever hold a
peculiar and exalted position in the
record which tells how the great
nations OF the world have endeav-
ored to achieve and preserve orderly
freedom. No man can render to his
fellows greater service than rem
dered by him who, with fearies 'neos
and honesty, with sanity and disin-
terested ness, does his life work as q
member OF such body. Especially
is this the case when the Leg stature
in which the service 10 rendered s
vital part in the governmental
machinery Of one OF these world
powers to whose hands in the course
Of the ages, is entrusted a leading

ing share. And, as, keen.eyed we
gaze into the coming years, duties,
new and old, rise thick aud fast to
confront US from within and from
without. There is every reason
why we should face these duties

their importance and OF their diff

reason for facing them with high
hearted resolution and eager and
confident faith in our capacity to do

ready to the hand of this generation; /;
it should count itself happy indeed,
that to it is given the privilege of
doing such a work. A leading part

America three months ago from Paris
with the object of selling the canal to
the United States government
He has made a visit of inspection
along the canal route from Colon to

canal commission will finish its discus

then shall be at liberty to talk.
las the canal stands now it would
take about seven years to complete.
Most of the difficulties complained of
have been done away with, and it is a
practical scheme.

of blasting to be done, excavations have
been made to a depth of so metres"

policemen were on the platform with the
motorman. and two guarded the rear
platform The crowd greeted the ap-
pearance of the car with derisive and
insulting cries and obstructed its pas

way and it passed on and away from the
vicinity of the barn
Half an hour later a second car

tanned some momentum, and striking

purpose they withdrew with cheers
The police arrested four or five of the
rioters. One of the trolley wires fell

Directory and Designations For City
Building Being Arranged.

Within two or three days the city
building will be provided with a nnuch
needed mprovement-sign for the
doors, and a directory in the front en-

The signs will be made of ground

frame. The glass will be appropriately
painted, and the signs will project from
the doors of the respective city offices.
On the glass transom Of the council
chamber the official designation of that

The directory in the lower lobby will
be of great service to the public. Nine
