chariton's Queer Council.

| Charlton, Dec. 1.-THE city council OF
| Charlton has made an unenviable rec
ord for themselves by meeting in barn
of one of the members while there is a
! regular council chamber provided for
them. They have been adopting the
| tactics practiced by them when the wa

alton, on a proposition to erect $4,000
overhead crossing In the city, and have
had no quorum at three nights for meet
| ing They probably wanted to allow the
monthly pay roll and met at a. m. in

| they quickly transacted the business be-
| fore them and adjourned. The voters are
| indignant and are looking for some old
aldermanic timber to fill their places.

Burr's Self Control.

Aaron Burr was by nature and train7
ing a man of extraordinary self con-
troll. He allowed no circumstances to
throw him off his balance. An anec-
dote told by Rufus Choate to the late
Richard II. Dana. recorded Sin SMr-
Dana'S Diary" illustrates the callous-
ness which aided Burr so greatly in
controlling himself. Several years after
the death of Hamilton, killed by. Burr
in a duel. Burr visited Boston, andIMr.
Devereux of Salem paid him some at
tentions. The visitor was taken to, the
Boston atheneum, where, while & the
two men were walking through the gall
lery of sculpture. Mr.. Devereux hap
pened to catch sight of bust of Ham
iltOn.
The thought flashed across his mind
that Burr might not care to be con-
fronted with the sight of the features
of the man he had slain. But no. Burr
was undisturbed. He also espiedl the
bust. and. although Mr.. Devereux, had
instinctively turned away, he walked
up to it and said in a loud tone: "Aht
Here is Hamilton Then. passing his
fingers along certain lines of the face,

Flattery From the Mirror.

Does your mirror do you justice?
You may think not. Or perhaps you
would like it TO flatter you just little.
If so, you can arrange it so the glass
will reflect i'll a more complimentary
manner than usual. If You do. you on
~ have to know the milliner's oldest
secret. and the thing is done.
Did you ever notice the sOftest drap-
cry of pure white hung about a mirror?
That is the trick. After your mirror of
faultless glass is thoroughly polished
frame it in pure white gauZe. with The
material gathered in the center at the
top and falling wavelike on either side.
Then notice the effect. The true tinis
of the complexion will be there little
emphasized. The expression of the
countenance. the light of the eye, the
color of the hair, will be accurately re-
fected. all softened and made more
harmonious than your mirror showed
them before the gauze was used You
may believe that that subtle bit of
white materially makes the glass tell
nearer the truth than it did without it. /

larger sum in profits, which are now
only prospective. hang upon the Unit
ed States supreme courts disposition
of the title To a tract of land known
as section 80" in the famous Nermil-
lion range, in northern Minnesota.
This suit, after long litigation, has
now been brought to n final issue be-
fore the tribunal of last resort. Argu-
ment has been ordered for October.
The case involves tract which iS
generally believed to contain the rich
est deposit of BeSSemer iron ore in the
world. 1t is so valuable that the
United States Steel Corporation, il is
said. stands ready TO pay SS,OOO.0GO
for the rights which will be awarded
TO the victor in the long struggle for
ownership.

OF all who have hoped to draw
riches from the mine since its diScoV-
cry only two interests have survived

One of the contestants is the discover
er man who is practically without Il
dollar i'm the world. The other is ~.
y. Miller, who built the Savoy hotel
in this city and held u controlling in
terest in il until he sold it TO Judge
DugrO, of the New York supreme
court. Miller is accounted a wealthy
man. Frank Eaton, wandering
prospector. in 1884 located the section
under scrip issued by the government
to Grille STRAIN, a half-breed Sioux
woman. She subsequently gave 4
deed of the section to Eaton.

Examination of the claim showed an
outcrOp of exceedingly high grade iron
ore extending for mile, and esti-
mated TO be worth from S5,000,O0O to
$1,000. 900. This discovery caused
keen competition for the property, and
EatOn'S title was subjected to close
scrutiny Various interests sought to
acquire il. and in 1889 the Midway
company. which is controlled by Mil

FOOD FOR THE SOLDIER.
Some Remarks by an Experts ON the Prop
er Philippine Ration.

Washington. June S.-Major G. w.
Ruthers. chief commissary of the de
partment of northern LuZon. in let
ter TO COmmissary General Weston,
dated April Il. writes of the task of
feeding the army. and deyOtes consid-
erable space i'm his letter to the sub
iect of beef supply. For the most part
the meat ration served the troops is
the refrigerated or frozen beef. al
though in some OF the interior points.
where there is neither rail nor water
transportation. this supply is neces-
sarily curtailed.
Speaking OF Il particular feature of
the army ration. Major Ruthers says:
The beef stew with vegetables is the
finest component of the ration ever put
into the hands OF troops 1t will take
the place of fresh beef when the latter
cannot be supplied for some time. and.
with the addition of some hardtack
coffee. sugar. salt and baked beans.
YOU could cut an army loose from its
transportation for some time
Major Ruthers says for some time
lie used the English army rations (beef
stew and potatoes in two-pound cans
which gave satisfaction, but do not
compare with the beef stew issue of
the United States army ratiOns. He
also says that the standard emergency
ration has given very good SatiSfac-
tion. At the same time he adds: ''A
ration of beef stew and vegetables.
one pound of hard bread in tin and
a tablet of chocolate | would put
against any sO-called emergency rn-
tiOn ever manufactured, and it would
not cause intestinal irritation. OF which
some complaint is made"
Another fact he states: Expert
ence shows that the American soldier
serving in these islands needs the full
army ration. including the full allow
ance of fresh beef Without abund-
ance OF nutritious food. he says. the
health of Americans cannot be main
tanned i'm the LuZon climate. The
health of Filipinos living on American
foods. he says is much better than of
those living on native foods.
