office Mr.. Sawyer was talking over
the telephone, and that the notice had
been placed In one Of his coat pock-
cts. The Solicitor held that the notice
was properly served, and once again
the session was resumed.
Before the reading of propositions
for the sale of sites, Clerk Isbell read
an opinion rendered by Allen, Cobbs
& Address, which made another delay
In starting the session The opinion
was to the effect that the Clerk should
have notice from the Treasurer that
there Is money enough on hand to pay
for the site to be purchased, before
the Clerk could so certify, and with
out such certificate from the Clerk
the resolution could not be voted up
on.
The opinion of Allen, Cobbs & An
dress was addressed to the City Clerk,
and is as follows:
"Your inquiry of Mr.. Address, rela-
tive to the time when you as Clerk
would be Justified in making a certi-
ficate that money may be in any par
ticular fund of the city treasury, has
received our attention. In the first
place, the law contemplated that the
City Treasurer is the only proper per-
son, in the first instance, to receive
or collect moneys belonging to the
city, excepting fines, licenses, and the
like, that are payable to the Mayor.
He has given a bond to protect the
city in respect to such collections and
we know of no other officer of the
city who by law is required to give
such bond except as incidental collec-
tons may be covered under the duties
OF the Solicitor, under r. s. 1776.
When you as City Clerk come in re-
ceipt Of voucher from the Treasurer
that there is certain quantity of
money in any fund belonging to the
city, that voucher you are author.
lied under the law to recognize for
just what it purports to be. If the
Treasurer, as a matter of fact, may
not have the money itself, after giving
such voucher, but may have a check
draft or certificate of deposit calling
for such an amount, that of course
would be no concern of the City Clerk
| but the risk of the collection thereof
and the realization Of the moneys
called for thereby would be wholly or
the Treasurer. You will not be au
thorized to make certificate under
r. s. 2702, unless you have on file
in your office proper vouchers from
the City Treasurer in respect to the
receipts in the Treasury"
But the officials who wanted to buy
the South Akron site had overlooked
nothing, and Treasurer Berger hat
been invited to come to the City Hall
He wrote receipt showing tina
$12, ,727.0S had been turned over Il
him, as result of the sale of tn,
Dobson notes. Clerk Isbell then Ger
titled that there was money enough
in the Building fund to purchase tn
site, and once more the session wa
resumed, after recess Of 20 minutes
There is in this fund at the presen
time $15,727Os.
Two propositions for the sale Of
site at the northwest. corner of Higl
and Center SITS. were read, but no &C

Russell Sage with all his millions is
scarcely q good example of success
to be pointed out to the average young
American. At the age when he should
be as absolutely carefree as 1t Is pos
sible for man OF great wealth to be.
he is still so tied up in business en-
terprises-still SO hot in pursuit Of
dollars still so frugal OF his boarded
stores-that he cannot rest. Money-get-
ting and money-saving have become SO
much a part of him that he has no
other ambition and no other pleasure.
AS compared with the Russell Sage
example Of frugality the advice Of
Robert q. Ingersoll, "If you have a
dollar spend 1t as king-spend It as
though 1t were withered leaf and you
the owner OF boundless forest" may
by many be thought truly preferable.

A good many Republican spellbind-
ers are still saying with mighty elo-
quence: "And as for the so-called
trusts--it is a problem which is bound
to solve itself 1t is the easiest way
of crawling out from under bad prop
osition and gives no offense to the $50
called" trust magnates. The plan is
recommended to the Young Lawyers
Republican club as safe course of
procedure. II the assertion quoted is
quickly followed up by loud cry Of
'let woil enough alone" ana stand
pat" accompanied by q vigorous wav-
ing Of the arms and a couple of good
sharp raps on the table, the general
effect ID well calculated to be applaud
ed by the federal office holders and
Republican candidates In attendance.

An interesting anecdote is told OF
The old tune to which a well-known
nong is now sung The story runs
that when the army of Napoleon was
in Egypt in 1893 the camp for a while
vas near the Pyramids. One after
noon. about sunset, the band was
playing and the natives Of the deserts
had collected and were listening to
the music. Nothing unusual hap
pened until the band struck up tune
which we now hear under the name
OF ~we Won't Go Home till Morning"
Instantly there were the widest
demonstrations of JOY among the
Bedouins. They embraced each other
and shouted and danced in the dell.

was that they were listening to the
favorite and Oldest tune of their peo-
pie. The tune had been taken to Eu-

countries for over 700 years.

curious ROYAL custom.

When any Spanish sovereign dies
the body is at once submitted to the
process of fossilization. nor can 1t be
placed in the royal pantheon until the
body has been absolutely turned into
stone. Curiously enough. the period
required for fossilization varies con-
siderably. Some royal bodies have be-
come solidified in very shore period.
while others have taken years before
the fossilization took place. 1t took
exactly thirteen years to convert the
body Of the father of the present
young king OF Spain into stone.

RAILWAY EreIahts and charaes.

carried s0,000,00o.000 tons of freight

charged a fraction more than nine
tenths of cent for carrying each ton
a mile In 1890 and only seven and a
half cents In 1900. As the ingenuity
Of inventors and the wise management

Why Rural Free Delivery Of the Mails

The Savannah Herald says that rural

anything but blessing to the country
stores and business men of the state.
It's complaint is as follows: Rural
free delivery Is not making hit with
the storekeepcrs OF the villages and
crossroads In many sections where 1t
has been Introduced. Instead of com
ing TO the combination store and post
office to do his trading and get his
mail the farmer has his letters deliy-

THE BLOOD.

The blood is life. We derive from
the blood Hfe. power. beauty and rea.
son. as the doctors have been saying
from time immemorial. A healthy
body. q fresh appearance. and gener.
ally ali abe abilities we possess de.
pend on that source OF life. II is
therefore the duty Of every sensible
man to keep the blood as pure and
normal as possible. Nature. in its
infinite wisdom, has given US a Their
mometer Indicating the state Of the
blood. which appeals to our reason by
giving notice Of its impurity. Small
eruptions of the skin. TO which we
scarcely pay any attention. headache,
ringing noises In the ears. lassitude,
sleeplessness. are generally a sign
that the blood is not In its normal
state, but is filed with noxious sub
stances. These symptoms deserve
our full attention. II more attention
were paid to those symptoms, and
steps t.ken to remove them, then
many Illnesses from which We suffer
would become unknown and the hu-
man body would become stronger and
healthier. Attention therefore should
be paid to those warning signs, and
the blood can be purified and poison
