REPORT ON
BUILDING
FOR YEAR.
Inspector Hopkins Describes
Tho Results for 1900 as Very
Gratifying on the Whole.

The annual report OF the Inspector OF
buildings was presented 10 the board Of
aldermen yesterday afternoon.
. In IL attention Is called TO some OF the
changes In building construction during
the year ana the inspector gives out an
opinion that for obvious reasons buildings
hereafter erected on principal streets in
the city will undoubtedly be- OF substan-
tial character.
The number OF permits issued during
the year was 1872, as against 126S a year
ago. and the amount expended is consid-
erabiy In excess OF the outlay during the
preceding year
The inspector says that there has been
large number of fine residences erected
during the past season. which also goes
to show that the business conditions are
such AS 90 admit OF more money than us

ceptions, connned 10 the LIST and 2d

have occurred during the year past
wherein notices have been served upon
parties who have not conformed 60 the
law. either through Ignorance, neglect
or wilfulness, although the latter class,
am happy TO say. are In very small
minority.
Much discussion arose IN the office
during the year, over the building of
barns, because the great majority who
contemplate erecting such building get
all ready 90 do so before asking for the
necessary permit and think Il quite "a
hardship when Informed that before do

Barnes?" asked Mr.. HummeL
Well. he was "A small man, With bald
head: an Insignificant looking little man"
Part OF this description so accurately
fitted Mr. Hummel that II was greeted
with uproarious laughter in which Mr..
Humme joined.
Mrs. Miller took the wltness-stand at
the request of Mr. Hummel.
II was married" said she, ,"on Oct 20.

saw Barnes when she arrived at Block

THE CUL1URE THAT Is BEST.

Of the heart. We call the man with
out the equipment of the head fool.
What shall We call the man without
the equipment of the heart? We
give years of time and great care
snd attention TO the training of the
head. Are we, in ourselves, or in
0ur children, to let the heart go all
unframed? After all, which does
the world need most, the culture of
the head or the rich culture of the
.heart2 After all, which is the best
for d man or woman, which will send
us on most happily and helptully
In life, d sufficient equipment of
knowledge, which is the power of
|the head, or a sufficient equipment
bf sympathy, which is the power of

fool of a withered head, but it is
|pititul so see the fool of a wlthered
bears. And it is we'll that we re-
ce.ve with high honor the names If

A LONELY COUNSEL on CARR.

Do not trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles YOU,
Do not look for trouble
Let tr uble look for YOU,
d not borrow sorrow;
You'll surely have your share.
He VII dreams of
Will find that SORROWS there.
Do not hurry worry
By worrying lest it come.
To furry Ia TO worry,
Twill miss you it you re num-.
If care you've got to carry,
Wait till it's at the door;
For he who runs TO meet y
Takes up the load before.
If minding will not mend tt,
Then better not TO mind;
The best thing 10 to end it
just leave it all behind.

The heavenly Fathers side;
What he hath undertaken
He surely will provide.
The very birds reprove thee,
With all their happy sing:
The very flowers teach thee

"Chy Father feedeth me-:

Gear not," the flowers whisper,
"Sinoe thus he hath arrayed

And trouble others too.

GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT.

A beautiful thought is gracefully
oppressed in the following words /:
How we are sometimes repaid for u
ltsle care. Suppose you take up
tom the ground a lot of castaway
'Osebuds put them into your pocket,
md when you get home place them
u water. Before long you will have
midtown flowers in place of the
buds, and will show no signs of the
BRUSHING they have received. So
With some crushed souls-they have
Oeen neglected, insulted, spoiled,
abandoned, perhaps. Smile on them,
encourage, help them-give them
eome ground still TO put faith in hu
|nanity, and God will smile on you
more than if you had preached
sermon"
