The following message was received
bv the council from His Honor, the
Mayor.
To the Honorable Council, Gentle
men II beg to submit to yon several
matters pertaining to the eity's well
fare for your consideration. You arc
now confronted with a demand for
better streets, more lights at v~arions
points in the city and a better and
more adequate water supply and it
now remains for you to consider the
business Of this demand
That the streets are in need of re-
pairs is very evident to all, who have
noted conditions prevailing during the
past month.
Relative to a better and more ade-
quate water supply. / beg to advise
yon that the LEGISLATURE at its present
session has passed an act authorizing
this city and giving it certain powers
to proceed in the construction OF a
better water system. The establishing
OF an mp to date water plaut requires
the expenditure of Il large sum of
money, to meet this you will be re-
quired to carefully consider ways and
means OF raising the revenue. The
sources from which this o may be
raised are well known to your Honor
able Body and needs no special men,
tion 81 my part.
That something must be done to in
crease the revenues Of the city all who
are acquainted with the city affairs
| candidly admit, and it therefore fol-
lows that duty to a trust reposed, re-
quires the Council to act without fur
Their delay ia determining from what
source this revenue shall be raised.
Ordinances enacted in the past were
Tor conditions then existing and no
doubt were suited to the wants of the
people at that time. but now different
aoa1,f;onr Droua;1
The necessity of the people now re-
garding this Council 10 establish a
water system suitable to the wants of
a growing CITY, and this action neces-
sarily carries with it the dutv to pro-
vide means to meet the peoples wants.
Under your present basis of taxation
and revenue. this plan cannot be es-
tablished and STANDARDIZATION run
ming the city hopelessly in debt for a
number of wears to come. / therefore
believe our people who are ALWAYS fair
minded in the main. Will agree and
willingly submit to whatever your
Honorable gody may deem best for the
welfare Of all the people.
The time for action is here and it
only remains for those who know their
duty to act promptly and without hes

EARS GROW DURING LIFE.
According 20 This Authority These
Appendagcs DO Not Attain FuII
Size witch MATURITY.

The systematic examination of more
than 10000 pairs of human ears in
England and France has resulted in
some interesting conclusions, For
one thing. il is nscertaintd that the
ear continues To grow in the later dec
AIDES Of IN fact, il appears never
TO stop growing until death, says the
Saturday Evening Post. If one will
take the trouble to look around in any
assemblage Of people, as at church. lie
will discover that the old folks have
ears considerably larger than those of
the iuiddle-aged. \ Womuu who has
small, shell-like ears.at 90 years Of age
will he very apt Ito possess medium
sized ears at 40 years, and large ears
at 80.
Why ears should go on growing all
ones life any more than noses is a
mystery. There are n good many 9TH
er points about them that are instruct
i've, their shapes lIeing markedly per-
sistent through here,lity. Any ear will
be handed down, so to speak, from
father to son for generation after
generation with comparatively little
modification. Some authorities on
criminology assert that criminals are
very apt to possess a peculiar kind of
ear, which is recognized by AN expert
in such matters.
There is probably nobody in the
world who has pair Of ears perfectly
matched; in most people the two diff.
fer perceptibly, not only in shape. but
also in size. Frequently they are not
placed precisely alike on the head.
The age of person may be judged
with great accuracy by the ears, which
after youth is past assume an increas-
ing hafshness of contour. 4 pretty
woman whose first youth has depart
ed may not show the fact in other
ways, but these telltale features will
surely tell the story Of the flight of
time. Then there is a little wrinkle
that comes just in front Of each ear
during the thirtics--a fatal and in
eradicable sign.
Near the top of each ear, just with
in the downturned edge and slightly
toward the back. will be found, II one
feels for 1t, small lump of cartilage
This is remnant Of wlAS was orig
mally the tip Of the ear, when ever 30
long ago that organ in orr remote au-
cestors had point on it. Most of the
apes to-day have pointed ears, but in
human beings the upper edge of tAe
organ has i'm the course of ages bean
folded over so as to cover the real
tip.

Missionaries in this country are on
an equal footing before the law with
the clergy of the Catholic church. The
federal nor the state governments
make any distinction between them.
Around the members Of all cominun-
ions is thrown the protection of the
federal constitution. Because some of
the more fanatical and uninfluential
people in Catorce warned the mission
aries To leave the town the impression
has gone abroad that the whole COM
munity was hostile to Protestant
missionaries. II Is time that this ut
terly false impression was done AWAY
with. The municipal government of
Catorce is composed Of enlightened
and unprecedented men; they will up
hold law and order in that community.

CHURCH SCANDAL
Bishop of London calls for Explsna-
tiOn From Clergyman Mar
ing Vanderbilt.

LONDON, April SO.-At the night session
Of the London diocesan conference yester-
day the bishop OF London said he had thrice
sent for an explanation from Rev. Mr.. Had
don regarding the Vanderbilt wedding and
that none had been received.
The galleries and the floor Of the little
church in the shadow Of Westminster Alb
hey were crowded in anticipation OF the
bishops announcement. Arising amid in
tense silence. he said he had hoped to pre-
sent an explanation from the ofhciating
clergyman in the matter OF the grave scan
dal which recently had occurred In the
diocese.
He could only surmise that a bereave-
ment, the death Of a child, was responsible
for Mr.. Haddon's failure to answer. :
He characterized the use OF st. Marks
church for the performance OF the ceremony
as a grave. moral scandal and expressed
his determination not to enter the church
until due reparation had been made.
He briefly recapitulated the contention Of
the chancellor Of the diocese that he was
obliged by law to issue a license to d.
vorced persons IL any clergyman could be
found to marry them.
Continuing, he read an extract from the
decision OF the Lambeth conference Of 1888,
Wv PAatNANN VI AoAA rs ~
vorced persons, in which IT is recommended
that in case the innocent party should de-
sire to remarry the question Of tho church
service should be left to the bishop OF the
diocese.
There has been considerable question on
this point" he added, but the opinion Of
the church has been strongly against this
concession. The law does not compel the
loan Of a church and much less Of a clergy
man to solemnize such a marriage. The
present scandal | hope will not be without
good effect IL it directs the attention OF the
entire world to the attitude OF the church
on this subject and emphasizes the fact that
the proceedings Of the chancellors are en-
tirely beyond the control Of the bishop.
Il hereby express my earnest wish that
the clergy do not celebrate such marriages,
and l certainly shall not enter st. Marks
church until reparation has been made for
the insult thus offered to the diocese"
The bishops remarks we're vigorously ap-
plauded and the session ended with a vote
OF thanks moved by the suffragan bishop
OF London.
