Affinity Between Horses.

When the Duke Of Wellington was
fighting in Spain, there were two
horses which had always drawn the
same gun, side by side, in many bat
ties. At last one was killed, and the
other, on having his food brought as
usual, refused to eat, but turned his
head around to look for his old friend,
and neighed many times as If to call
him. All care was in vain. There were
other horses near him, but he would
not notice them, and he soon after
ward died, not having once tasted food
since his former companion was kill

At that moment the door Of the room

The grand duke advanced. He recog-

One of the officers placed revolver

APPROVES SKY SIGN ORDNANCE.
RIVES SAYS ALDERMEN HAVE POWER TO
REGULATE AS TO HEIGHT, MATE
RAILS AND SECURITY

Corporation Counsel Rives yesterday sent to
Alderman Franklin b Ware letter in answer to
a request from Mr.. Ware for explicit advice to
the power of the Board of Aldermen to regulate
the building of sky signs Mr.. Rives says in part
Inasmuch however. you think have not fully
answered your question, / now beg 10 state eX-
plicitly that, in my opinion, the Board of Alder
men have power restrict such signs in height to
specify the materials of which they are to be con-
strIcte6 and provide for their firm and secure
support so as to prevent their blowing down into
the street to the injury of passersby.
With your letter of April 49, you inclose copy Of
the ordinance introduced by you in the Board of
Aldermen to amend the Building Code by striking
tut the provision which l have quoted, and by sub
shutting revised regulations The part of the pro-
posed regulat referring to sky signs provides
after defining them, that they shall not extend or
project beyond the building line: that they shall
be constructed entirely of metal; that they shall
not be at any point ten feet above the part
of the structure to which they are attached or by
which they are supported that they must be prop
erly secured: and that permit for their erection
must be obtained upon due application. So far as
can perceive, these regulations If adopted by the
Board of Aldermen, will be valid and effectual.
The courts, in dealing with this subject, will look
into any such regulation, and must be satisfied that
it tends in degree that is perceptlole and clear
toward the preservation of the lives, the health,
the morals or the welfare of the community. as
those words have been used and construed in many
cases heretofore decided.
