CASH FROM THE COUNCIL
IMP 0RTANT MATTERS CLAIMED AT.
TENTION OF THE FATHERS.
Attorney Query Paid Another Fee for
Service in WaterwOrks Case. Second
Payment to Be Made on Recently
Purchased Light Machinery.

The regular meeting of the city
council for August was one of more
than usual importance.
Besides the regular routine business
matters of financial nature claimed
the attention of the fathers.
One of these was the payment o.
$3.50 to Attorney DUPONT Guerry Of
Macon, who requested this additional
sum to past fees on account of his con-
tinued services as chief counsel for
the city in the waterworks litigation.
ColoEe! Query is now at work pre-
pairing the papers for the appeal OF
the case TO the United States supreme
court. Colonel Query, in connection
with the city's local attorneys, has
been untlring in his efforts, the case
having been taken SUCCESSFULLY from
court to court until now it rests with
the highest tribunal in the land.
In connection with the case, the city
was also recently required by order
of Judge Pardee of the United States
circuit court to pay 1900 as fees to
the master in chancery who sat in the
case and to the stenOgrapher who took
the evidence, making about $4,000
that has been paid in the last few
months as costs attendant upon the
litigation.
A THOUSAND FOR LIGHT MACHINERY.
Another matter of finances acted
upon was the authorizing OF the fl
nance committee to negotiate a loan
of 81 100 at moderate rate of interest
with which to make the second paw
ment due on the electric light machin-
erv purchased some time ago.
In addition TO the above di5burse-
ments the regular monthly salaries of
employees of the several departments OF
the city government were ordered

Joe Martin Is Dead Cock

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.l
 Vancouver, B. c, Oct 6.-Joe Mar tin is a dead cock in the pit. He will never again be a factor even in the lib eral party. That is one of the results of the recent election that Is assured no matter which party may control the next parliament. Liberals openly charge that if it. shall develop that their party has been defeated it will be due to Martins unpOpularity, whom they say, proved a veritable millstone around the party neck. The ex-lead. CTS unpopularity was particularly man. ifested in Vancouver, where he ran be hind his ticket, and was TOO votes be hind the lowest conservative candidate It was noticeable that every liberaI candidate in the province, who was known to lean toward Joe Martins can didacy for the liberal leadership, wa. defeated.

Tho wnd GiraRe.

Perhaps the most difficult of all wild animals to capture is the giraffe. In addition to being very raro girafes are exceedingly umid and are very swift footed. There is no special way to cap ture a giraffe, as almost every way has been tried, and all have been almost equally unsuccessful The methodwhieh has occasionally resulted in a capture is by using a long cord, at each end Of which is a round weight. This cord H thrown by the hunter in such a manner as to wind round the animals legs, either bringing it to the ground or ron. denng 1t incapable of escaping beforo 1t Is made a prisoner. Most of the giraffes in captivity have been caught by chance when young.

GOOD NEWS.

That is good news that comes from Juneau to the effect that Gen Greedy will make a cheap press rate over the new Alaskan cable. It the rate from Seattle Co Skagvay and Juneau shall be made as low as that from Vancouver to Dawson. and there is not a single reason why it should be more, the Daily Alaskan win be able to material Iy increase it's press service. To the general public the cable will be useless unless it can be made available by the press. One ot the great objects for which it has been built win have been defeated ii the press rate be kept so high as Go make its use prohibitive to Che newspapers.
 IfGen. Greelv will make a press rate from Seattle Go Skagway not greater than that obtaining between Vancou- yer and Dawson, the Daily Alaskan will give it's readers three times as much telegraphic news as it now gives them. and there will be more than three times as much Alaskan news printed iu the papers ro the south ii the rate shall be reduced 10 is mat ter for cougra-ulariou that Gru.

Great SUFFERING in New York.

New York, Jan. 13.-With the pros
pect Of the coldest night OF the year to
date, according to Local Forecaster
Emery, and the inability to obtain
fuel. except ut prohibitive prices, the
suffering of the poor of New York
must be greatly increased during the
next twenty-four hours.
Z Charitable organizations are unable
to buy coal at any price and other
fuels have greatly advanced in price
including kerosene. The suffering il
not confined to the very poor who are
usually provided for by the charitable
organizations but people ordinarily
able to provide themselves with coal
must go without 1t.
The cold wave promises to be excep-
tionally severe and Of long duration.
It is by NO means local and conditions
Indicate that 1t will continue several
days.
The suffering Of the poor has been
increased tremendously. The cheap
est ct which they can now buy. coal,
except the very limited amounts on
sale by the Salvation Army IL two
pailfuls for 26 cents. Nevertheless
long lines Of men, women and chill
dren stood patiently all day At the Va
rious places where coal may be OBJ
tanned By the pail.
