The most important question that
came before the Chamber of Com
merce Wednesday evening was to re-
iterate their former decision that
West Fifth street must be macadam-
lied from the railroad to the river.
1t was the sence of the meeting that
the matter should be pushed forward
at once go that the work could be COM
pleted this season and in order to do
80 there was no time to waste in talk.
President Gill struck the key note
when he said, "the trouble with this
city in regard 10 such matters is that
everybody seems to think that when
an agitation is once started 1t will
simply lapse again and that nothing
will come of it Now we want this
street fixed and we are going to have
it hxed and not have the worst mud
hole in the county on our business

Character is the wool of honor from
which coat of mail can be woven that
the swiftest arrow Of shame or the
keenest knife of disrepute cannot
pierce. Every thought that enters our
mind, every act we do and every word
we utter adds link to the golden
chain of character. The strength OF a
steam engine can be estimated 10 with
In an ounce OF its limit. but 1t is In
possible 10 estimate the force OF no

Just last month a bay trotting
mare worth $4,000 was sent from this
city to Philadelphia to have a front
tooth filed. 1t was bad job. She
had broken the tooth Off against her
manager and the Jagged edge of the
molar cut her mouth so that she
could not eat on account of the Sc

suffering on the mares part was &C
complished and the intelligent ami

teeth of horses is done in aluminium

of a horse require much gold as each

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.--Much inter-
est has been aroused through the
east in horse dentistry, the newest of
the veterinary arts. because of the
placing of Moth Miller, celebrated
New York speedway champion. in a
museum at Boston.
Moth Millers claim to museum
distinction lies in the possession of a
number of gold-crown teeth. Horse
men have been interested from a
practical standpoint, and the laiety
from mere curiosity.
One of the speeders in the stable
OF William c.. Whitney Is said to
have been the first horse in the world
to have tooth filled. This took
place about five years ago. and the
trainer at whose suggestion the OPP
Grafton was performed was scoffed at
when he said that horses could be bet
ter patients in the hands of dentists
than human beings would. Such has
proved to be the fact, however.
Then Philadelphia took up the
matter and his success soon demon
strated to the veterinary surgeons
that something new had been added
to their profession.
