cause OF q special law which xieted pro-
viding what taxes they should pay. The
court hold that the law had not been re-
pealsd and was therefore still operative.
1t 10 held that this law does not apply
to railway companies or to telegraph aud
tsleph one companies. and that they must
pay tax upon their road beds or pole lines
tho same AZ upon real estate.
The members Of Council believe that In
the absence Of special law governing the
taxation Of such property that under the
now constitution 1t can DO taxed as real
estate, and therefore the cases against
these corporations will BE- pushed.
II the city should win the remaining
cases now before tho court 1t would be
able to collect about go 0Oo OF the tax so
levied upon corporations and this would
help considerably In running the affairs
Of this city.

SENSATION

Indianapolis, Ind, July 2+.-Rev.
Russell II. Conwell, OF Philadel-
phia, who has been delivering a
series OF lectures at Winona Park,
startled the ministers OF his audi
ence to-day by his reference to the
want of conservation on the part
Of the church members aud what
good they miss because Of 1t. He
pointed to the Chautauqua work,
the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation and the hospitals as "nam-
ing advertisements Of the inefficien-
cy OF the Church. and dwelt at
length upon their work as being
such as the church should do. He
referred to the work OF Dcwie and
Mrs. Eddy in terms of praise and
recognized Its genaineness. Though
he did not express an opinion on
their methods, he declared that
they are dong work Of healing
the sick and meeting the wants of
the distressed that the church
should be doing, and said that the
church, as an institution, is doing
only one.tbird Of lts duty to-day.

the city has not sufficient money on

IT IS said that City Council has
not gwen up the idea Of collecting
taxes from the street railway COM
panies and telegraph and telephone
companies. 1t is thought by the
knowing ones that under the new
constitution, such properties can
be taxed. The city needs revenue
badly, and it is thought probably
$4,000 can be collected from the
several corporations. 1t remains
to be seen what tn. courts think OF
this plan and whether the city has
the right to levy and collect such a
tax.

The letter p is like selfish friend

"Pouring oil on the troubled wa.

expedient OF using oil to calm the

Why girls cannot throw. A great
deal Of fun is poked at girls because
they cannot throw stone or a snow
bali and hit the person or thing at
which they are aiming. The general
i'd ca as to why girls cannot throw as
well as boys is that they have not &C
quired the knack Of practice as their
brothers have. Another explanation
is given by medical man which
tends to show that girls could never
learn the knack however they tried
When boy throws a stone, he
crooks his elbow and reaches back
with his forearm and in the act OF
throwing he works every joint from
shoulder to wrist. The girl throws
with her whole arm rigid whereas
the boys arm is relaxed.
The reason of this difference is one
of anatomy. The feminine collar
bone is longer and set lower than in
the case Of male. The long crook
ed bone interfeses with the free use
Of the arm. This is the reason that
girls and women cannot throw well,
is because they amt built that way.
