Under the Plans Proposed by the
Senate.
Especial CorrespondenccJ

Columbus. o., April 1.-The Senate
Committee on Municipal Corporations
has decided for passage u substitute
for the Fomercnc bill 10 abolish grade
crossings. The substitute has been
agreed upon by the leading steam
railroads and representatives of the
principal cities.
1t applies to all municipalities in the
state and gives the Council the power
TO require the elimination of grade
crossing subject TO appeal to the Cir
cult court of the question of the neces.
sity for such Improvement and the
reasonableness of the plans.
The principal change made by the
substitute Is TO require street railroads
where they appear at the crossings TO
be eliminated, TO bear one-fourth Of
the cost. The municipality shall pay
one-half Of the cost and the steam rail
road one-half of all elevated or under
way crossings, except where "A street
appears. Theu the municipal
lty and street railway shall each pay
one-fourth the cost.

While we must not overlook the diff
ference between the supply of food in
nature and captivity as well as the
equally different conditions of botn
food and exercise in either state, it Is
somewhat interesting to note the in
crease in weight and height of a young
Indian elephant in captivity, state 10
which 1t was brought when about fif-
teen months old. During nearly a cou-
pie of years the captive put on nearly
half ton TO be more accurate, some
1,1OO pounds of avoirdupois) and not
far short of eighteen inches.
Tho increase in both weight and
height was greatest in the early
months and slower in both cases as
tire went on, and the greatest gain in
any single month was ninety pounds
aud four inches. Considering the i'm
mense rations given to elephants In me-
nagerics, it may be thought, perhaps.
that the results are none TOO great for
the cost. Yet TO gain ninety pounds in
single month is prodigious all the

SPANKED
Girls With a Wooden
Paddle.
Charges Of Brutality at Delaware
are True.

Massillon, o., April 4.-AIiss Flor.
encc Landon of this city, formerly Il
teacher in the Girls Industrial home
It Delaware, says the sensational
charges against that institution into
which an investigation las been order
ed by the Ohio State Senate, are all
true. Miss Landon says she left the
school because her conscience rebelled
against witnessing forms of punish
ment as horrible as they were unde-
served; that there were no cfevating
or uplifting influences in the school
and that everything tended TO demor-
alize and humiliate.
Miss Landon says: Il have known Il
child to be given Il spanking of 200
strokes with wooden paddle and the
offcnse which called for this punish
ment may have been the soiling of a

THE SAVlOUR'S BLOOD.
\ Relic of the Crucifixion Preserve,
mt BruEes.

"
Many cities profess to possess as a
relic some of the blood of Christ, pre-
served from that which flowed from
him during the crucifixion. st. Louis
brought particles to Paris which he
had received from the emperor of Con.
stantinople. The Church of st. John
LatTan, in Rome; the Imperial mon
astery at Weingarten, a church in Man
tua and the Chapel of the Precious
Blood, in Bruges, all put forward simi-
lar claims.
The precious blood at Bruges enjoys
the widest fame and is reported to
have been collected from the Saviour's
wounds by Joseph of Arimathea and
Nicodemus when they took down the
body from the cross. 1t was brought
to Bruges by Thierry of Alsace in 1147
He had received it from his brother-in-
law, Baldwin, king of Jerusalem.
Nearly six centuries ago the extraor-
binary devotion paid to this relic at
Bruges by the inhabitants and visitors
had induced the ecclesiastical and civi1
authorities to institute solemn pro.
ccssion in which it should be borne in
the streets.
A confraternity Of the precious blood,
consisting Of thirty members, with q
provost and four chaplains, was estab,
lished to guard it at all times.
The procession takes place annually.
and the blood, contained in crystal
cylinder and inclosed in its shrine, is
carried about with much pomp and
ceremony.

Professional divers, who remain un-
der water from two to five minutes at
a time, are accustomed before SUBJ
merging themselves to take deep inspi-
rations for ten minutes. The object
is said to be to store up oxygen, not
in the lung cells, but in the blood
corpuscles. This renders temporary
suspension of the breathing possible
by supplying the corpuscles with an
extra quantity of oxygen, to be ex-
changed chemically with the carbonic
acid, produced by vital processes. in

with an increase in the number of
rubber shops which are located in this
city, there has come Il change, gradual,
but none the less pronounced in the re-
lations between employers and en-
ployed,' said local rubber man, Thursi
day. I'm the smaller shops, owners
and their men become more or less
thoroughly acquainted, and the men
are, therefore, more Interested in their
employers and their interests, than
they would be in larger factory
where individual effort was not so i'm
portant in the figuring up of final re-
suits
'4As Il result of the new feeling which
has sprung up, several clubs have been
formed among the employees Of Akron
rubber shops, and these clubs gave
many dances during the winter, at
which employers and themselves met
more or less on Il social equality These
dances We're successful in many ways,
and are looked back to with plcasan,

COUNTY EXPENSES.

1t is customary for the State auditor
to audit the accounts at the county
clerks office biannually, usually after
the adjournment of county court. The
time for such work is at hand but
owing to the fact that the county
court is not expected to adjourn until
March, the two departments will be
separated on this occasion The two
departments to be audited in the coun-
ty clerks office are the county court
expenses and those incurred by city
courts and justices of the peace of the
county.
County clerk Smile is making up a
schedule of the latter department of
for approval The auditing of the
county court schedule will be delayed
until the close of the present term. 1t
will be remembered that early last
summer seven young men were prose
cuted for riding bicycles on the city
streets without lighted lamps, in the
evening. The city council later re-
mitted the fines imposed upon the
young men on condition they would
pay the costs of prosecution-about 81
each-as the council had no power to
cut off the costs in city court. These
costs have not yet been paid but will
have to be at once to enable Judge
Smile to complete his schedule of
court expenses. In case the young
men delay settling, Chief Demeritt
has the warrants for their arrest in
his possession.

GAUDY SCENE.

Pekin, Jan. 6.-The Chinese capital,
on the eve of the courts return, pre-
sents an animated and gaudy scene
never before equalled i'll its history.
All the palaces, pagodas, and tenn
pies have been repaired and painted to
form a glittering spectacle, The roofs
of these buildings viewed from the
city walls are patches of shining yel-
low tiles and bricks. The wall about
the imperial city is vivid crimson,
and the gates leading to the imperial
city have been repaired and gilded.
On the towers above the Chen Men
gates stands a gorgeous structure Of
wood, cloth and paper with yellow
painted dragon entwined about the
massive cloth pillars. Hundreds of
Chinese officials clad in furs and en-
broidered silks ride about the streets
of Pekin and parties of foreign sol
diers, bent upon sight seeing, roam
everywhere. Thousands of new sol
diers from the province of Shun Tung
who are finely uniformed and equip
ped with modern weapons, entered
Pekin this morning and marched
through Legation street.
