survey of same WAS referred to the
street and alley committee.
The committee which was appointed
to inspect the condition OF the old Plat

out further delay.

plumbers license.
A communication from the express
men was read, complaining that all the
draymen had not complied with the or

when D. r. Crosby was engineer and
paid that gentleman $50 to prepare it.
The present surveyor, @. W. Haskell. has
plat which he declares he (HaskelD
made and refuses to furnish it to the
city until he has been paid TOR it. The
city has already paid for one plat, which
it did not receive, and is not disposed to
pay for another one unless the former
payment is refunded. The matter will
be investigated.

OF the work on the reservoir. which ap-
pears in full in another column. He

meeting night.

Money to Loan!

CERTAINTY OF CoNTRACT.-The
loan plan here offered by The Fi>
deity is that of paying off loan
by eaH monthly payments. The
contract is definite and certain BY
its terms it cannot run BEYOND the
time fixed, but stock participates in
earning and may mature sooner. IT
is NOT loan upon the building
loan plan as usually presented by
associations. 1t differs from such
a plan, in that
No fines are charged the borrower.
The maximum number of payments re-
quired tO ray eff is stipulated IN the note.
The sum required to pay off and cancel a
loa1, or any part of it, is stipulated in the
n tie for each period.
Certainty and monthly payment plan
is an advantage to the borrower. Q) The
debt can be paid off before maturity with
out penalty. (2) The borrower by easy pay
ments gets out of debt. Straight loans for
a term of years are too often renewed.
Three terms or payment are offered. 1t
takes small monthly payment longer to
cancel a debt than it does larger one.
ILLJSTRAT
$50 per month repays $1,000 in not to
exceed 46 months.
B $21 per month repays $1,000 in not to
exceed 70 months.
c $14 per month repays $1,000 in not to
exceed 1877 months.

DEATH OF SENATOR sEwELL,

The expected has happened in the death
of Gen. VIM. J. Sewell, Senator from New
Jersey, whose condition had been regard
cd as very serious for several months.
Gen. Sewell was fine type of the vOlun-
teer soldier. Though he was born in Ire
land, in 1879. his parents soon came to
this country, and he grew up a thorough
young American. He became a clerk in
a store, but enlisted promptly at the out
break OF the rebellion, in the 9TH \. j.,
and rose through all the grades 10 be
Colonel of the regiment, which Office he
resigned in 1863, owing to wounds re-
ceiyed at Charlottesville and Gettysburg.
He distinguished himself 50 at Chanccl-
lorsville as to receive the brcvet Of Brig
adierGencral. He could not remain out
OF the service, however, while the war
was going on, and raised the 3Sth n. J.,
Of which regiment he became Colonel, and
commanded it till the close Of the war.
He was brevctted MajOr-General for gal
liant and meritorious service during the
war.
After being mustered out in 1860 he
went into the railroad business, as man
ager OF New Jersey branches of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. He also went into
politics, being elected State Senator from
Camden County, in 1872, and was con-
tinuOusly reelected for several terms, un-
til 1881, when he was elected TO the
United States Senate. At the conclusion
Of his term he was succeeded by a Dem
ocrat, but he continued active in politics,
and was Delegate to every Republican
National Convention. lie was member
Of the Board of Managers Of the National
Soldiers Home, and for several years
Vice-Prcsidcnt of the Board. He was ac-
lively connected with many banking and
other financial institutions, and also with
various philanthropic societies, and kept
up his service in the New Jersey Ma
tional Guard, of which he was the Major
General commanding. At the outbreak Of
the Spanish War he was commissioned Il
MajOr-G General, but his Republican friends
in the Senate. to which he had been re-
elected i'll 1895, persuaded him not to take
the field. He was reelected TO the Sem
ate at the beginning of this year, and his
term would have expired i'll 1907.

The Deacon was sufficiently acquainted
with small boys to be fully aware of the
folly of attempting to coerCc one of them.
especially rs he was not so feet of foot
as he haA been in bygcnc years. So he
went up to him, and said, with paternal
kindness:

"Ah. what're you givin' uS-wind:

pleasantly as he could. '.it is very bad
to show disrcspect to the Chief Man of

He just lays over 'em all--hc does. But
we all sing that about him. He don't

give you quarter if you'll promise not
to sing it any more"

Hi, there. cullies.' he called to his com
paniOns, ''hcre's Il jay that's paying two
bits for 4 song, if you don't sing il"
There was a stampede Of newsboys to
him, each one clamorfng for Il quarter.

THE NEW SECRETARY OF THE TREAS
IRV

The choice of 4 cuCccSsor to Secretary
Gage developed Il very catholic taste in
the Presidents mind in the selection of
| his Constitutional advisers. He first Of
fcred the place to Gov. Crane. OF Massa-
chtlsettS, who is Yankee of the Yam
KEGS an Eastern man Of the Eastern men.
! 1t is to be presumed that he has all the
financial ideas at which the Far West
looks aSkance, and the Free Silver men
denouncc with horror. The offer was nat
urally attributed to Senator Lodges per-
sonal influence with the President.
But Gov. Crane, who has some MaSsa-
chusetts ideas as to loyalty to the grand
old Commonwealth" conceived that he
owed duties to the State which had just
reelected him, which would prevent his
acceptance. There was question whether
it would be promotion or a reduction to
go from the office of GOYcrnOr of Mas
sachuSctts to Il membership in the Cab
met. As true son of Massachusetts he
probably thinks that to be Governor of
Massachusetts is higher than anything
else on earth, except, possibly, President
of the United States.
At any rate. he declined the honor,
with appropriate thanks, and the Presi-
dent then jumped halfway across the
continent. into the heart of the Middle
West, and selected Gov. Leslie NJ. Shaw
Of Iowa. That this selection caused gem
eral and profound astOnishment is to state
it mildly. Mr.. Shaw has made a good
Governor of Iowa, and generally given
satisfaction TO the people and the politi-
clans, though he incurred the displcasure
of the veterans by appointing to the best
command from the State III the Spanish
War James Rush Lincoln, u man who had
been partially educated ut West Point
he did not graduate, as alleged, nor was
he an officer in the United States Army
but had Joined the rebellion, and fought
against the United States. Otherwise
Gov. Shaws administration has been gen.
orally approved. Still, he was not sus-
pected of having the financial knowledge
and experience to fit him for management
Of the greatest money system in the world.
Inquiry developed that he is a lawyer Of
high standing at the Iowa bar, a leading
Methodist, the President for many years
of small bank at his home town of Den
Hisoh, anu thdt, "heh ne WAS Cdhulda'c
for Governor, he took a bold and decided
stand in favor of the Gold standard, at a
time when the Republican politicians Of
Iowa were strongly in favor OF saying as
little as possible on the money question.
The President and he had campaigned to-
gether, and quite a friendship had deyel-
oped between them.
AS all these facts came out the choice
was generally accepted as a very good
one,

HELP THE SONS OF VETERANS.

The following, from the Commander
in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public and the National Commander, u.
V. L., should be taken to heart by every
veteran:
Every lover of his country. and espe-
cialy every surviving soldier of the Union
army, should rejoice in the assured sue
cess as an organization of the Sons of
Veterans, U. =. A. Without doubt it is
destined to become the foremost patriotic
organization of the new century, and its
membership can with certainty be depend
ed upon to protect and defend in times
of peace and peril the honor of the flag
and the institutions il represents. The
future safety and welfare of the country
must OF necessity largely rest with the
Sons of Veterans, and the time has fully
come when the relations between the
Grand Army of the Republic and the
Sons of Veterans should be more intimate
and cooperative than ever before. The
fault, il any exists, does not lie ut the
door of the sons, but of the fathers, and
the Conmander-in-C Chief heartily endorses
the sentiments and desires so modestly,
earnestly and forcibly set forth in the
foregoing address of the Commander-in-
Chief of the Sons of Veterans, and trusts
that the recommendations made may be
received and acted upon in the same cor
diui and fraternal spirit in which they
have been expressed.

TTE Pacific Railroads are making a
herculean effort TO stave off action at this
session ON the Isthmian Canal. Their
main hope is in the Senate, and their
lobby is concentrated upon it. The trick
is TO hold off action in expectation Of a
more favorable offer for the sale of the
Panama Canal. The main objection TO
the Panama route is that We should buy
into lawsuit, and never know when we
got through. There are endless compiler
fions, not only in France and in the
United States of Colombia, but also in
this country, where a corporation char
tered in New Jersey has lot Of alleged

walk, by the chief next above him, and
he would have gone without ceremony.
But apparently none Of the subordinate
Chiefs Of the Navy Department cared to
take the responsibility of discharging this
'laborer' who had publicly DETAINED n
