1t is the opinion of DR.. John
Bascom, formerly president of the
University of Wisconsin, that
Rockefeller's millions have sealed
the lips of the Chicago University
and that that institution will never
become a great place of learning.
Rockefeller lately relieved the
University of a debt of $4,000
and donated another million of
Standard Oil dollars. 1t seems
to us, if we were the University,
we would have an understanding
with the old gentleman, who
needs must get rid of some of his
money, that we like his dollars
but we don't like his ways, and
would act accordingly. The
weight of all the gold in the
world should not crush truth and
righteousness.

CITY COUNCIL.

The newl y elected city officials
were duly sworn into Office Mon
day, as will be seen by the official
proceedings. Last night the new
Mayor and Board of Aldermen
held their first business meeting.
Alderman P. 4. Jones was unan-
imousIy elected Mayor. The cleo
ton of persons to fill minor posi-
tions under the board was passed
for an adjourned meeting, with the
exception of night Waterman.
To this position, Mr.. I. Forsythe
was reelected. The salaries of
all officers were continued at the
same rate, for the present, the
Board deeming it unwise to make
any changes until conversant with
their new duties.
Mayor Lanier announced the
following standing committees:
Claims and Finances-P. Z.
Jones, M. D. McGrath, C. Lar
san.
Water and Lights-H. Cassidy,
G. Larsen, NJ. d. McGrath.
Nuisance-W. H. Seavey, p. Z.

Seavey, HI. Cassidy.
Fire Departmental. d. Nc
Grath, H. Cassidy, P. Z. Jones.
The Mayors Office was changed
from the Storm to the Millsaps
Building.
The matter that came up for
the greatest amount of discussion
was the water and light plant, and
it was very apparent from the drift
of this discussion that the Board
intends to adopt the meter system
for regulating the charges on
lights. It is confidently asserted
that this will result in saving of
cost to the city in running the
plant, and also under this system
there will be far less extravaganza
in the burning of lights.
A resolution was passed to ap-
point an advisory committee of
five, to act and consult with the
board in administering the affairs
of the water and light plant, as
heretofore suggested. The fol-
lowing named persons were Sc
lected as this committee: T. F
Becker, Eugene Mccormick, O..
Connolly, David Coin, B. T.
Hobbs.
The Board then adjourned to
meet Wednesday, Jan. 21st.

New YOrk'~ Waste or Food

New York eats more and wastes
more food than any other city in the
world, says a man who has made {
special study of disposing of the waste
material Of great cities. It wastes
less food in February than in any
other month, probably because small
er quantity of green. vegetables is eat
en- then than in any other month o1
the year. The well-to-do buy southern
vegetables in February, but the poor
live largely on canned food, in which
there is little waste. The waste oi
even the winter months, however, is
vastly greater than that cf any Euro
pean city.
Food in Paris and London, especially
meats, passes from the better grade OF
hotels to the poorer and to the cheap
restaurants. In some cases the pro-
prietor of fashionable lotel will own
a third-rate house, where the waste
Of the former Is largely disposed Of
The same is true of London, and pro.
badly of every great European city.
1t is true in a very small degree of
New York.
The story of all this is told in the
products realized in the disposal of
waste at Barren island. Here the pro-
portion of valuable fats recovered from
the material treated is far greater than
at any similar concern in the world,
chiefly because in the great European
cities where kitchen waste is treated
in a similar manner, the meats and
other foods yielding fat are much more
nearly used up than in New York. A
considerable portion of Europe is
washed with soap made from the waste
of New York. for the fats thus obtained
at Barren island are in large part
exported to be made into soaps, lubri-
cants, and perfumery.-New York

Skate Sailing.

Considering the number Of persons l.
this country who indulge in skating
it Is somewhat of a surprise TO see how
few of them have ever used skate
sail, or in fact have ever heard ol
such thing, says Country Life ir
America. However, in The last few
years this sport has become better
known, and it is not an uncommon
sight to see dashing hither and thithcl
among the dark forms Of the skaters
the clustering sails Of the skate sal!
Ors.
TO tie onlooker it seems at the firsl
Slapce that the sailor must certainly
lose his. balance and topple over. sc
sharplyslces he lean backward against
his sail; but so strong is the force Of
the wind exerted against 1t that this
expected fall is seldom reality
When it does happen the unfortunate
is usually rovicc.
There are but few requisites for tho
enjoyment Of this past!me. First and
Of the most Importance is a pair OF
sharp skates. A few yards Of cotton
cloth and some email poles furnish
the rest of the material From these
any person can with little care fash
ion a sail that will furnish him with
many a happy hour.

THE ABUSE OF FUEL.
Americans Prone to verheat Their Liv
ing Rooms.

luE NoOIuss
The high prices of coal, caused by
the strike now ending, have carried
with them a salutary lesson. 1t has
reminded our people that they have
been using fuel wastefully. The nat
ural resources of the United States arc
so great that something out Of the
usual order is necessary to convey the
lesson that there is limit to them.
But it is not merely in the matter Of
wastefulness that fuel has been abused.
The sanitary argument is even stronger
than that based On economy. In Amer
lea We indulge in hot rooms to de-
gree unknown in other parts of the
world. Some of those who lecture on
the subject probably err on the other
side. The cold rooms of Germany
and France have their drawbacks, and
there is reason to believe that they are
often insufficiently heated. But that
does not, in any degree, excuse the
hot rooms to which Americans are
very commonly subjected. 1t is not
the degree of cold which is so fatal
to health as the sudden transition from
heat to cold. TO quit room at the
temperature of a day in July and go
into zero temperature is necessarily
perilous, yet this Is a common incident
Of American experience. 1t has cost
many man his life, and caused others
troublesome attacks of illness.
With coal at abnormal prices the
temptation to use too much fuel is not
so strong. When normal prices are
restored, it is altogether likely that
most people will forget the prudence
which necessity has taught them. But
1t is not too much to hope that the les
son of the strike may not be altogether
lost on some.-Louisvillc Courier-Jour.

started back.
Now, this part of my story shows
what shrewd beasts these coyotes are.

me starting for home he set up a
veil that sounded like some one was

were as large and bright as the head

pumping away with all my might. AS

He Means Ii.

New Berlin, H., March 16th.-Mr
Frank Newton of this place speaks
very earnestly and emphatically when
asked by any of his many friends the
reason for the very noticeable i'm
provement in his health.
For long time-over two years-he
has been suffering a great deal with
pains in his back and an oll-over feel
ing of illness and weakness. His ap-
petite failed him and he grew gradu-
ally weaker and weaker till he was
very much run down.
A friend recommended Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and Mr.. Newton began to
take two at dose, three times day.
In very short time he noticed an i'm
provement; the pains left his back
and he could eat better. He kept on
improving and now he says:
''Yes, indeed! | am a different man
and Dodd's Kidney Pills did it all. l
cannot tell you how much better feel
l am new man and Dodd's Kidney
Pills deserve all the credit"

"MuSic Hath Charms"

An electrical engineer employed by
Mr.. Edison was lately engaged upon
some experimental work upon har-
monic telegraphy. He happened to
notice that when the note given out
by the instrument reached a certain
pitch all the mosquitoes in the neigh
borhood came nying towards the ap-
paratus. The workman produced a
quantity of fiypaper, with which he
covered the machine, and so succeed
ed in capturing thousands of the nox-
ious insects. The cause of this queer
musical attraction seems to be that
the note produced by the machine was
exactly similar to that caused by the
rapid vibration of the wings of the
mosquito when flying. Sir Hiram
Maxim has since made experiments of
similar kind, and found that a tun-
ing-fork giving a similar note was
equally attractive to the gnats and
mosquitoes in the neighborhood.

He was told that perhaps rats had

into the earth until a subterranean
chamber was disclosed, where the
whole OF the $50 bulbs were hidden,
packed neatly in rows, one above the
other. There was bundle or hay and
dead leaves also, showing that the rats
had made most elaborate preparations
for the winter season.
