COST OF PAVING
OHIO STREET MAY BE REDUCED
ONE THIRD, THINKS ALDER
MAN c. v. NEFF.

The matter of improving Ohio street
between Eighth and Fourteenth
streets by paving with yitirihed brick
is being discussed a great deal just
at the present time and a sub-commit-
tee has been appointed by the street
committee Of the city council to see
what can be done toward forwarding
the proposed improvement.
One of the city aldermen is quoted
as saying that he did not believe the
improvement could be legally done by
assessment unless all property owners
agreed 10 pay their proportion Of the
cost and some Of the owners Of adj
joining property have refused 10 do
this.

UNCLE SAM As

OF HIS PEOPLE.
Special to The Bulletin.

st. Louis, Oct. 81 always thought
of Uncle Sam as good-natured sort
of loafer with nothing particular TO
do aside from carrying the mails and
collecting some taxes ON whiskey and
tobacco. But I've changed my mind
about Uncle Sam. And so has John.
John says he seems to be buster than
Health Officer Hatcher in a smallpox
district and Jane displayed evidences
of her advanced schooling by remark
ing that the government building real
ly was TN exhibit of astonishing pa.
ternalism."
Anyway, Uncle Sam Is no loafer
He is the busiest individual on This
globe. Anyone who has any doubt
upon this point should spend a day or
two in the United States Government
building and see what our government
is doing for the people. From build
ing a gun that will carry a shell
eighteen miles to measuring the rain
fall and making 1t hot for the Hessian
fly and the chirF.h bug is a wide range
of activity, but Uncle Sam does one
as easily and successfully as the 9th.
err. OF course. he is assisted in this
work, and by such efficient men as
Forecaster Smyth at Cairo, but even
then he is a very busy citizen.
Before entering the big government
building We found that Uncle Samuel
in addition TO his many other accom-
pllshments. is great fisherman. He
Is not in the amateur class in any
thing. He goes after the seal as well
as .he salmon. and he makes II his
business to increase the supply of
food fish and other fish that are of
value to the people. We thought We
saw the fish exhibit over in the Fish
cries and Forestry building. but that
is only sideshow compared to .he
magnificent exhibit OF fresh and salt
water fish male by the United States
Fish commission. ani If some Of the
colored inhabitants Of Cairo who
spend much Of their time angling for

tina: he believed every property own
or on the line OF the proposed i'm
proyemeat would be willing to pay for
the paving in front Of their lots pro-
yided the WORK could be done al a
reasonable figure. The estimated
cost is $3.50 per lot and Alderman
Nefi believes the work can be done
for 800 per lot. He claims that the
price for the brick used IN paving
Ohio street between Fourth and
Eighth atreets was exorbitant and
that equally as good brick for paving
purposes can be had for SIS less on
the thousand than was paid for the
brick used on the streets mentioned
Alderman Men is also OF the opinion
that the Cairo Trust Property should
be made to pay Tor paving a portion

Were Christened.

The beautiful home of DR.. and Mrs
A. Pollock presented specially attrac-
tive appearance last Sabbath, the oc
casion for which was the christening
of the infant son of the home, Donald
Alexander, and Helen Irene, little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Palmer, and niece of Mrs. Pollock.
The color scheme carried out in the
decoration of the handsome rooms was
pink and white, and the twining smilaX
with pink carnations were used with
artistic effect.
At four o'clock the thirty guests, all
relatives of the family and all living III
Yale with the exception of the Dr's
two sisters, Mrs. May and Miss Grace
Pollock, of Bethoud, Colorado, with
Mr.. and Mrs. Kelley, of Detroit
and Rev. and Mrs. Ellis, witnessed the
pretty and impressive service of bap
tism performed by Rev. Ellis. The
little ones almost seemed to understand
the solemnity of the service and con-
Quoted themselves with the greatest
propriety.
The christening robe worn by the in
fant Donald was the same in which
his father appeared on a like occasion
in his childhood.
After the ceremony Il dainty repasl
was served in the dining room, the
guests being waited upon by -four
cousins, Julia and Vera Wallace, Haze

Lecture Course.

The High School Lecture Course this
year promises to be the best ever Offer
ed in Yale. Fifteen different characters
this year, against nine last year, are
offered at the usual price for course
ticket, $l00.
The opening number, The Floyds, is
certain TO be most popular. 1t is to be
lamented that our hall has no larger
seating capacity. for large number
are planning to see this company. -Four
people, with Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd as the
leading attractions, fill mp the evening
with magic, mind reading and delu-
sions. While this attraction will de-
light and amuse all. it presents prob
lens which will keep our cleverest
thinkers busy for many months.
The second number, Ora Samuel
Gray in a lecture OH "Three P's in a
Pod is pronounced everywhere as
amusing, entertaining, instructive and
original. The high moral tone of his
lectures makes Mr.. Gray popular with
every audience. lie never fails to
please, because he knows how to adapt
himself 10 his hearers.
The Parker Concert Co., has been
here and it has been recalled upon the
request Of many. Do not confuse this
with the Parker plckaninnies. There
are five ladies. The program consists
of quartetteS and solos, both vocal and
instrumental, with readings and inn
presentations.
rhe Whitney Brothers are consider
ed one of the leading male quartettes
in the country. This with special read
ing promises 10 be one of the most
popular numbers on the course. Some
OF our people have heard the Whitneys
and they are delighted that they are to
have an opportunity to hear them
again.
The closing lecture by Mattison Will
bur Chase, on "Trifles, or Straws Picked
up by the Wayside,' will be certain to
leave our people feeling that the course
of l904-5 was a marked success.
