MayOr Harrison On Paving.

In this years report to the Chicago
City Council Mayor Harrison devotes
considerable space to a consideration
of street improvements and the pave
ments generally used. Some of the
points might be applied in St Louis to
advantage.
He objects altogether to the use Of
cedsr block pavements. "Brick pave
ments serve we'll on streets Of light
traffic, though even here The noisin ess
of the material is a valid objection to
its use. Asphalt wears well on streets
of moderate traffic, is clean and hygien.
ic. Without the use of the grooveC
rail it cannot be made to give good
wear on street-car streets. For heavy
traffic as we'll as for the paving OF th,
railroads rights of way the only salts

pressed with creosoted wood-blocl
pavement.
For streets that are really avenues
the best materials are bituminous gran

pavement, asphalt and creosoted wool

that the material will be good aud tn

To be Married in Virginia.

Mr.. Charles r. Baskerville, of
Stanton Depot, Tennessee, and Miss
Catherine Quarles, Of Bowling Green,
Virginia, will be married at Miss
Quarles home on August 10. Mr..
Baskerville will be remembered by
many of the readers Of the INTELLI-
GENCER as a teacher in Wentworth
Academy during the session Of 10000.
He resigned his position in the
Academy to accept a fellowship in
Chicago University, where at the end
of two years his eyes failed him and
he was threatened with blindness.
Absolute rest from all literary work
has so improved his condition that he
has accepted the chair of English in
the Oklahoma Territorial Normal
School, where he will take up the
work in September. His friends and
acquaintances here will be interested
in this announcement.
