The danger of the parlor
match has been officially rec
OgniZed in New York city. and
after January lst no licenses
for keeping, storing or having
parlor matches within the linn
its of Greater New York will
be issued except to manufac-
turers, their agents and whole
salers for shipping outside of
the city. Fire Chief Croker
says: mot only has the parlor
match caused many fires, but
many women have been burned
to death by their skirts becom-
ing ignited by stepping on
matches of that kind. The old
fashioned sulphur matches and
the safety match are preferable
to it," We may infer, however.
that certain kinds of matches
made in parlors will be legal as
heretofore.

BUSY SESSION OF CONGRESS

oSi >oiOiN vi (OiNoNEoo-
The short session of the Fifty
seventh congress will be an un-
usually busy one from the date
of its beginning, last Monday.
to its expiration under the time
limit, March 4, if it accomplish
es all that is apparently mapped
out for it. The calendars of
both houses are now crowded
with measures which will be
pressed for consideration as
speedily as possible. The great
est crush of work will be in the
senate, and if the important
bills pending in that branch
are to be disposed of. together
with the regular appropriation
bills, little time will be left for
any special legislation.
One of the first things to come
up in the senate will be the
bill providing for the admission
of the territories of Oklahoma.
Arizona and New Mexico to
statehood. Before the adjourn
ment of the last session an
agreement was reached by
which the committee on terri
tories is to submit a report on
this bill early in this session.
and it Is to be made the unfin-
ished business on the tenth dav
of the session. There promises
to be a prolonged fight over the
bill, and political considerations
may influence the final action
of the senate.
No small portion of the time
of the senate will also be con
sumed with the subject of Gu
ban reciprocity, either in the
shape of discussion on the pend
ingibill which passed the house
at the last session and was held
up by the beet interests or i'm
consideration of the treaty
which has been negotiated
in Havana. Another house bill
now before the senate on which
action is to be urged is the bill
for the restriction of immigra-
ton.
In the house one of the most
important measures pending
which have already passed the
senate is the ship subsidy bill,
which was pending before the
committee on merchant marine
and fisheries when the last SEES
sion ended. 1t will be reported
and will probably be considered
under special order limiting
debate. The bill for the estab-
lishment of a department of
commerce has also passed the
senate and is pending in the
house; with every prospect of
favorable action. The anti-an-
archy bill was passed by both
houses, and was in conference
on the adjournment of the last
session. 1t will undoubtedly
become law.
In addition to these pending
measures. and others likely to
be brought forward, there is the
list of eleven general appropria-
ton bills which congress must
pass if the wheels of the gov
eminent are to be kept going.
These are the urgent deficiency,
the general deficiency, the ar
my. the naval, the legislative,
executive and judicial, the pen
sion, the postal. the fortifica-
tions. the District of Columbia.
the agricultural and the sundry
civil measures, all of which
will take time and some of
which doubtless will provoke
spirited and extended debate.

Those Railway Gates.

The railroad gate question again
came up. Mr.. Boyce, of the special
committee appointed to meet with the
railway officials, reported that they
were to have received some data from
Mr.. Bowron. superintendent of the
Cotton Belt. but he had resigned his
position and the attorneys for the
companies had requested another con-
tinuance. Mr.. Boyce requested that
action on the matter be again defer

Meyer that further time be granted
and that authorities delay enforce
ment of the ordinance

motion so as to give the railway. COM

Want Sewer Extended.

Owners of real estate on West Sec
ond avenue petitioned the city council
to allow them to extend the sewer
system between Second avenues and
BarraQue street. near Ash street, at
their own expense. They had secured
the service of a civil engineer of Mem
phis, who reported the feasibility Of
the plan. Maj. H. A. Mccoy stated
the plans of the citizens. They pro-
posed to extend the mains at their own
expense. and proposed that all in the
future who should desire to connect
With tbs main would have to pay so
much to the city for the privilege.
Mr. Fox stated that he had talked
with Mr.. Coghill. president of the
Sawyer 4 Austin Lumber company,
and found him much exercised over
the matter Of a sewerage district in
the extreme western part of the city.
He had offered to- pay liberal tax on
all his property to that end. Mr.. Fox

As to Qpeninu Elm Street.

Mr. Westal addressed the council,
offering to give the city $100 to open
Elm street on Sixth avenue Mayor
Bell replied that the ownership of the
property was in question. DR.. Sim
mons claims the ownership, and he
had stated to the mayor that he would
give one-half of the street if Mr. West
all would buy the other half and deed
it to the city. The city attorney ad-
dressed the council. saying that he
had looked into the ownership and
found that as far as he has been able
to discover DR.. Simmons is the lawful
owner. In regard to DR.. Simmons
proposition, Mr.. Westall stated that
he had offered to buy the half of Elm
street once, but Dr. Simmons would
not allow it to be decided to him, and
he would not buy it under other condi-
tions. 1t was moved that the city at
torney ascertain what proof he could
find that the city owns the property.
Mr.. We'll offered to amend the motion
providing that suit be brought for the
recovery Of the property, providing
that proof of ownership of the city
can be established.
Alderman Boyce stated that suits
We're disastrous and he would vote
against the amended motion He pre-
ferred referring the matter to the
board of public affairs and city attor-
ney.

withdraw the amendment The matter
reverted to the original motion. which

City Hall Matter.

Alderman Wollerman brought up
the city hall question. City Attorney
w. F. Coleman stated that he had
looked into supreme court decisions
and cited the supreme court decision
of Crone against Sloan Springs, il
which it was held that a city hall
could not be built by improvement
district, holding that a city hall could
not be classed as local improvement.
That was Mr. Coleman's opinion on
the question.
Mayor Bell stated that list of the
real estate Of the city. by wards. had
been prepared for use in the proposed
improvement district.
