Owing to the unavoidable absence
of several members of council, it was
deemed inexpedient to make an ap-
preparation from the city treasury,
without the full and unanimous vote

ton prevailed:

issue a proclamation calling on the
citizens of Brunswick for aid to the

AROUND EARTH IN FORTY DAYS.
Banker Expects to Accomplish Trip
in That Time

p. II. Spencer, president of the
Cleveland (Ohio) National bank, who,
above all things, takes delight in
travel, has under contemplation an
attempt to go around the world in
20 days. The present record for a com
plete journey around the world is
hfty-four days and seven hours, but
Mr.. Spencer believes that the long
journey can be accomplished in a little
over a month.
The plans of MIR. Spencer have not
been arranged as to detail, and before
the date of departure is Cccided upon
every effort will be made to get the
route so laid out that only the unex-
pected will prevent delays. The pro-
posed globe girdler is now in COM
parts OF the world, and the course of
the journey is being gradually put
into shape.
AS has been the case with all per-
sons who have tried to circle the
world in record time, Mr.. Spencer an
ticipates the most difficult part of the
whirl will be through parts Of Russia.
If he can make good connections in
Russia he does not see anything in
the way of an accomplishment of the
trip in forty days.
With good luck in the matter of
connections it is roughly figured that
the trip can be made from Yokohama,
Japan, to Moscow, Russia, in eight
days; Moscow to Vladivostok, twelve
days; VladivostoK to Nicho, two days;
Nicho, to Yokohama, half day; Yo-
.kohama to San Francisco, twelve days,
nd San Francisco to Cleveland, four
and one-half days If this schedule
can be adhered to the trip will be made
in little over thirty-nine days and ali
records badly broken.

The fact that S25. 600, $50 worth of goat
skins are now annually imported into
the United States, and that her manu-
factnrers are now obliged to send half
way around the world for a large share
of them, suggests that the farmers of

their own pockets, and that the entire
sum may be divided between our pro
ducers and manufacturers.
A statemen just presented by the de-
partment of commerce and labor,

that ilpportations of goatsltins INFO the
United States are now running at the
rate of S25, ZOO, 900 per annum, and that
n large share OF these are brought from
India, China, Arabia and southeastern
Russia. The increasing popularity OF
certain classes OF kid leather for foot

very greatly the demand for goatsl<ins
in the United States within recent
