POWER
OF the Cities Is
Growing.
Their Government Is A
Problem.

"Tle Twentieth Century City''was the
subject of masterful address by Prof.
r.. T. Ely in the Univcrsalist church
Thursday evening before Il well-filled
house. The address was the third
number in the college lecture course.
Mr.. Ely Is professor Of economies in
the University of Wisconsin at Madi-
son. He is Il deep student and one of
the most prominent economists in
America. He has spent much time
in the study of the municipal needs Of
this country.
Prof. Ely said that the problem OF
the city is a problem of revolution
brought about by industrial evolution.
The cities are becoming more power
ful every year. He showed the rapid
growth of the urban population. But
this Is not phenomenon of our coun-
try alone" he said. 1T has been the
case in all civilized countries. Many
of the German cities have grown us
rapidly as the American.
"The influx from the country to the
city has not been caused by sentimen-
tai considerations. There have been
deep underlying causes which have
driven men to the cities. Tie city is
an attraction to men because Of the
superior opportunities it presents over
the rural districts"
Mr.. Ely then reviewed very briefly,
the movement for municipal reform
during the last quarter of century.
"The chief trouble" he said, lis that
the problem is not so simple as we
think. We have dwelt too much on
men, not measures
The speaker then mentioned the sue
cesSful government of European cities,
Where the problem is not greatly differ
ent from that in the United States. He
said that the profession of municipal
government was IL difficult profession,
to which men should devote their life
study. The position of Mayor is very
difficult and requires special prepara-
ton, us the lawyer prepares for law,
or the physician for medicine.
I'VE must create a condition that
will do away with the ward boss and
the 'heeler' for they are only the result
of present conditions. Our council will
be Il larger body. Only those of satis-
factory preparation will be admitted
to municipal offices, and the tenure
will be greatly heightened in the city of
the future

PHYSICIANS
EXPERIENCE.
Some Experiments Made by
Noted Physicians Regarding
Foods.

Physicians have demonstrated the
fact that it is not necessary to drug
their patients in order that they may
be well and strong. Nature will keep
the body in healthy condition if her
laws are not disobeyed and the proper
nourisbment is supplied. Food to the
body is as oil and fuel to the engine.
Without these, the machinery will not
run. The body requires proper food,
and with 1t, all the organs do their
work as nature intendedd. Without
the requisite nourishment, the human
machinery clogs, and an unhealthy
state Of the body is the result.
Nearly every family has some
cereal food at the morning meal, but
few indeed see that it is properly
cooked. In most cases, the oatmeal
Is boiled for few moments, and then
served. Here lies the trouble! Oat-
meal and all cereal foods should be
cooked five hours; when undercooked,
they form sticky, starchy mass in
the stomach, not only unduly taxing
the digestive organs, but retarding the
digestion of other foods. Wheat con-
tains all the elements of nutrition
necessary for the human system, but
It must be properly prepared.
One of the most palatable and nu-
tritious of foods that can be served at
a meal is Malt-Nut 1t is a combina-
tion of matted grains and the emulsi-
fled OIL of nuts.
BY new process the grains are
taken through the first and hardest
stages of digestion and the addition
of the oil of nuts in an emulsified,
or pre-digested form, makes 1t n fat
and tissue builder, with n rich nutty
flavor and four times the food ele-
ments of beef.
It's a delicious, dainty and nutri-
tious combination and when once
served to the family becomes a daily
addition TO the meal. Leading gro-
GERS sell 1t.

unable to work and that his family is
wholly dependent upon his labor for
support. The plaintiff claims that he
spoke to the foreman about securing a
better platform, and was told that the
company was in n hurry to place the
machinery and could not suffer any
delay TO better arrange conditions for
the workmen.

One of the surest ways to help this

acres of land at either end of the vii
lage and be prepared to sell it to any
concern that desires a location, at IL
fair price.
This purchase of land should be un-
dertaken at time when there is no
excitement about shops, in order that
the difficulties OF coming to an agree
ment may not be complicated by that
extra demand. We ought TO have a

CANADIAN TOWN DEVASTATED.
st. Pierre Wiped Out-Victim of Fire
FOur Times,

St. John, n. F, Nov. 2.-The town of
ST. Pierre, Miquelon, has been devas-
tated by fire. A destructive confagra-
ton started last night and swept the
main portion of the town. The COVER
nor's house, the government buildings.
the court house, the building occupied
by the ministry of marine, the Roman
Catholic cathedral, the Presbyterian
church, the schools and a number of
other buildings were destroyed.
1t has not yet been learned how the
fire originated. There was no wind last
night, else the entire town would prob
ably have been completely 0bliterated,
Even as it is the extent of the disaster
is very far reaching, and the financial
loss will probably reach half a million
dollars. There was no loss of life or SER
ious accident. The rapid spread of the
confiagration was due to the trif1ing
water supply and to the fact that st.
Pierre has no adequate fire fighting ap-
paratus. The town of st. Pierre has
been partly burned down three times be-
fore-in 1865, 1867, and 1879.

PENNSYLVANIA CAMPAIGN
Democrats Express Confidence That
They VIII Elect State Ticket.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2.-After weeks of
campaigning the orators and party
workers have finished their labors and
both sides await the issue on Tuesday.
Senator Quay chairman of the repub-
lican state committee left here to-day
for his home in eBaver, Pa. He has
prepared an estimate of the vote based
upon reports from important points
throughout the state but will not make
1t public until tomorrow.
Local democrat leaders estimate for
r. E. Pattison, the democratic guberna-
total nominee, an aggregate of 10000
votes in this city. They expess conf
dence that they will elect their state
ticket, figuring that Pattison will have
a majority In the state outside of this
city equal to the vote here.
The general impression derived from
the claims of political leaders is that
there is much doubt concerning the
state ticket.
OF the thirty-two congressman to be
elected the democrats claim at least
seven 1t is understood Senator Quay
expects Former Judge Pennypacker, re-
publican candidate for governor, to win
by over 900 majority, but the leaders
on the side say the harmony now exist
ing in the democratic party throughout
the state will render this impossible.

COAL NINE INVESTIGATION
COMMISSIONERS LEFT FOR HA-

Not More Than Four Days to be Spent

20 the investigation.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 2.-The mine
strike commissioners left for Hazleton
at IL o'clock tonight to spend four
days in further acquainting themselves
with the physical features of mining.
They had not decided up to the time
Of leaving how they would divide their
time while in the middle and lower dis
tricts. 1t was definitely decided, though
that not more than four days would
be devoted to the trip.
Assistant Recorder Neill was left be-
hind to receive the miners statement
from President Mitchell tomorrow. On
Thursday, it is expected the operators
counter-statement will be presented.
The commissioners will then take re-
cess until Friday, November II, by
which time the two parties will be ex-
pected to have completed the prepara-
tion of their cases and be ready to go
on with the hearings. The commission
ers will also devote the interim to pre-
pairing for the hearings by acquainting
themselves with the details of the two
statements.
Bishop Spalding preached at the late
mass in st. Peters cathedral this
morning. His fellow commissioners at
tended the service and occupied front
peWs. The bishops sermon was based
on the tenth verse of the thirteenth
chapter of St. Paul's epistle to the Ro-
mans:
Love worketh no i'll to his neighbor;
fhnrarora to ho Of
law"
No reference was made to the work of
the commission and only in a most gen.
eral way could the sermon be made ap-
plicable thereto.
The commissioners will remain in
their sleeping car all night tonight
They will be met at 9 o'clock in the
morning at Pond Creek, about nine
miles north of Hazleton, by Thomas
Duffy, the president Of this district of
the Mine Workers union, who will rep
resent the miners. General Superin-
tendent Warriner of the Lehigh Valley
and General Superintendent Richards of
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre company
will represent the operators. The
mines which the commission will visit
has not yet been decided upon. \ SUI
perintendent Warriner has suggested
the No. 40 shaft, operated by his COM
pany. The miners prefer to have the
arbitrators inspect the Harwood colliery
of c. Pardee & Co. There are twenty
five mines in this region and all but No.
| 40 shaft are entered by means of a
slope. The Harwood is a typical mine
of this region, and as the commission
have thus far only visited mines with
shafts and have not yet gone down a
slope, the miners think they should se-
| lect the Harwood. The commissioners
on Saturday requested both sides to
agree on one mine and If they fail the
commission will probably decide the
| matter.

Chiunmnn Attacked and Brutality
Reaten Yesterday.

bteHNth
Lee Wah Funn, who runs a Chinese
laundry at 3O1 Dixwell avenue, was at
tackled and brutally beaten in his store
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning by an
unknown man who lives on Munson
street. A little boy came into Lees
store to get a. collar which had been
in payment. The Chinaman demanded
three cents and refused to give up the
collar without 1t. The boy returned
home and reported to his uncle, who
had sent him. This so enraged the un-
Gle that he went down there himself to
investigate, and on receiving the same
treatment as the boy he began to make
it hot for the Chinaman. He grabbed
him by the queue, pounded him, rolled
him on the floor gave him a black eye
and maltreated him in every way pos
sible.
The man after assaulting the China
man jumped on car and went to
Highwood, where he was arrested by
Officer O'Connell and brought to this
city, where he was identified as the
one having committed the assault by
three witnesses. His name is Arthur
Taggart and he lives at 80 Munson
street. He denies being the one who
committed the offense. Lee Wah Funn
was attended by DR.. Wright after the
assault. The case will be tried in the
city court this morning.
