DR. HOLMAN TO LECTURE.
Will Tell How to Better Conditions oi
 Employer and Employed.

Members of the Commercial Club and persons generally interested in industrial development are anticipating with pleas ure the lecture of Dr. William H. Tol- man, to be delivered at Seals Hall on Wednesday night. December 3.
 Dr. Tolman will discuss the best methods of unifying employers and em- ployed in a common interest He has wis., ited all the principal industrial cent CTS of Europe and America, and will illustrate his lecture with stereopticon views. The lecture will be given under the auspices of the Commercial Club and the expenses are paid by the League for Social Serv- ice of New York.
 Following is an extract from an article in the New York Journal written by pr. rolman and gives some idea of the thought developed in his lecture:
 Improved machinery is creating a de- mand for improved men, and it is the business of the social engineer to make improved men operate the improved ma- chinery. In the making of an improved man the first element is true home, or an opportunity for himself, his wife and his children to enjoy pure air. light and water, the physical essentials of home. Given these conditions, the chances all favor desire on the part of the pa- rents for the mental and moral develop ment of the children, whereby they may nave better opportunities than their pa- rents for getting on in the world.
 The modern factory is the industrial home, where the wage-earner spends at east one-third of each working day The working home must be made bright and airy by means of many windows; the colors should be restful in tone. especially where the work is of such a character to admit 1t; the hygienic installation of toi- let closets and lavatories should be am- pie and modern-that is, the best. which is another way of saying the cheapest. Order and discipline should be kept to a nigh standard. because based on justice and sympathy. This, in general, is what the social engineer must accomplish"

TO SPLIT AN OFFICE.
An Auditor and Clerk May Be Sep.
 arated at Coming Election.

City officials will be elected at the meeting of the Mayor and Board of AL dermen Wednesday night and it is prob able the offices of Auditor and city clerk will be divided. The affairs of both offices have heretofore been conducted by H. D. Woods.
 On account of the increase in business two men will probably be deemed neces- sary and In that case J. c. Murray, pri- yate secretary to Mayor Drennen will probably be made city clerk while MT. Wood will probably remain as auditor
 Mayor Drennen said yesterday he would endorse and work for MT. Mur- ray and as he has no opposition up to this time his election is practically as sured. Mir. Murray has been the may or's private secretary since 1898 when MT. Drennen was first elected.
