gentlemen, that the new year VIII

"Now, it must not be overlooked
that there remains of the school
debt $4,10O unpaid. One-halt OF
this must be paid during the year
1903, and the other half during
1904. Now, if a new dynamo IS
bought at a cost of $4,000, and w."
900 paid on school debt, the i9oo
revenues will be decreased to start
with $4,000. 1t appears that these
sums can be paid without serious
inconvenience, as we have paid dur
ing this year SIS, 994 out of the ordi-
nary resources of the city for things
that had no connection with the
ordinary expenses of the city 1t
also appears that the present year
will be closed without encroachlng
on the tax books of 1908 but little,
if any. ,,

the proposition that the city grant
the street fair privileges for exhibit

Killed at Anna, Ill.

The balloonist to have been with
us next week at the street fair tell
about 1000 feet from the balloon at
Anna Wednesday. She was, from
accounts, a novice at the business
and undertook the foolhardy ad-
venture of making the ascension
without lite preserver. 1t is SAID
that she had only made one or two
flights, and had no training at attn
letics. Soon after she started at
Anna it was seen that she was
losing her hold of the crossbar, and
men and women tainted at the hor'
rible sight. She fell against a tel
ephone pole and struck the ground
in heap. 1t was a sight not to
be forgotten, so said bystander.

BEFORE THE COUNCIL.
Buying a New Dynamo-fasVors
Protest Against Street Fair.

Mavor Walker opened the pro-
ceedings at Tuesday nights meet
ing with the following message
ITO the City Council
4sGentlemen-It has become
public necessity that new dynamo
be bought and the' electric llgnt
plant of the city be enlarged. This
must be done forthwith, or a part
of the lights now in operation Will
have to be cut off. If one or the
other of these things is not done,
the machinery of the light plant
will surely burn out, the property
be greatly damaged and the city
left in darkness,
"With the assistance OF superln-
tendent Alexander l have spent
much time during the last two
weeks investigating this matter
visiting the plant often at night.
I have seen that it was being rum to
It's utmost capacity, and that part
or all the street lights had to be
thrown off in the early part OF the
night to prevent the burning out OF
the machinery and throwing the
city into darkness.
Representatives of some OF the
leading dealers and manufacturers
OF electric light machinery have
been invited to visit the city, and
with them l have canvassed the
machinery we now have and the
price of machinery that we need.
cit appears that a new dynamo
equipped with all the necessary ap-
pliances, can be bought and in
stalled in the city, with a capacity
of more than double what we now
have, for about $4,000.
4'From this may be deducted
whatever the old one can be sold
Tor, but it may remain unsold for
some time unless low price is &C
cepted for it.
81 recommend that committee
be appointed with power from this
board to investigate the price OF
new dynamo, as we'll as to consider
the advisabil1ty of buying second
hand dynamo that is now being
offered the city, and that such COM
mittee be empowered to close
trade if in it's judgment the best re-
suit has been reached that it is pos
:sible for the city to obtain.
"However, before such committee
has been appointed, propose to
give to you the present financial
status of the city, what its re-
sources were on June l, last, and
what has been paid out since that
time; what it was paid out tor and
what is on hand now.
"When you have hear1 this re-
port and duly considered it, you
will be better prepared to know
what you feel able to do and what
YOU want to instruct that shall be
done.
"You will observe in the state
ment l make no allowance tor un-
collected taxes on the tax books of
1901. Thanks to Recorder ]. w.

tor, except on polls, there is not one

A Letter From Aunt Mary" to the
New 'Ice Band Club"

Dear Little Sisters of the Poor" God
bless you, everyone. There are clubs
galore now a days for mutual improve
ment. for pleasure and for various benev-
client Objects but could anything be
more lovely than this one?
There are so many suffering ones now.
The Death angel is lowering over many
a home of the sick and poor, the high
and low, and all hearts melt with tender
sympathy as the word goes around of
this one and that one, fighting for life,
and of dear little ones very, very i'll,
suddenly gathered to the loving Saviour's
breast God comfort and help the sor-
row stricken hearts, God pity and hold
fast in the Everlasting Arms-the
Rachels mourning for their children!
Will you let one who has passed through
many a sore affliction make a few sug
gestons that will fit in with your beau
tiful, blessed work? Tell all the anxious
mothers and nurses who have no re-
frigerators to wrap the ice in many
layers of paper and it will keep long
time. Tell them to put piece of ice in
a pitcher or glass jar of fresh water
and wrap it close and snug in papers
and it will keep icy cold for hours. This
is q suggestion for all homes where
there are little children who cry out
these sultry night for water! water!"
1t is such a comfort to have it fresh
and cold for instant use. Boil the water
and let it get cold before putting in the
ice.
Another suggestion, learned by blessed
experience: A room that is breathlessly
sultry can be made cool and refreshing
by means within reach of every one.
Tack across the open windows mosquito
netting or any old lace or thin open
meshed cloth, and keep it wet. Hang
up in the room, over any rough frame,
a wet sheet where whatever breeze comes
in can strike it, and you will be aston
ished to find how soon the air is cool
and delightfully."- fresh.
Gently battle the hot head and hands
and face and body with tepid water, fan
gently. and often the poor sufferer will
fall into restful blessed sleep.
So many anxious mothers do not know
how to care for their sick ones. Tell
them these things and they will bless
you for it, a. we'll as for the ice.
Little Sisters of the Poor would in
deed be a lovely name for your club if
it meant all the word SISTER" implied.
To give yourselves-with loving Christ
like sympathy and service-would take
away the sting of seeming charity, and
poor, proud hearts would gratefully ae-
cept your kind gifts in their time of
sore need
They would bless you, and He who
spared not Himself would bless you, and
smile upon you. as He softly whispers,
"lnasmuch as We have done it to the
least of these, We have done it unto
Me-" God bless you, every one!
AUNT MARY,
Raleigh n c.
