Last nights session of the city coun-
Gil was devoted largely to discussion
of the troubles of the Third ward. For
some reason or other the Third ward
is always in trouble. If it isn't one
thing, it's another-and sometimes, as
was the case last night, it's both. Up
in the east end it's difficult matter
to satisfy property owners who want
streets improved, and it's quite as diff
cult for the council to settle the sani-
tary problem that has developed there.
Between the Third ward and the health
and police committees troubles in get
another city pound, the council had it's
hands full
Last night the sanitary problem came
up in its most virulent form. A COM
munication from prominent residents
of the east end precipitated the bother.
They pointed out that some of the
premises occupied by residents of the
Third ward were positively filthy, and
that there was so little effort on the
part of the people to guard their
health that the entire city was sub
jected to disease epidemics at all times.
These good people wanted the council
to afford some relief-wanted the coun-
Gil to require the careless ones to clean
up" The communication was referred
to the unfortunate committee on health

until all are sold. In this stock are a

pianos, and new and secondhand
pianos including instruments of the
following weiilnown makes: Sterling,
Huntington, A. B. Chase, Vose,

are fine-toned instruments at S25, $40,
$50, and upwards. In Upright Pianos
neat instruments at 500, $120, S140,
$3.50, $165, $3.50, 5000, and upwards.
In Baby Grands some nice specimens
at $3.50 and upwards. Nearly all these
pianos were intended to sell for much
more than these clearing sale prices.
This is an opportunity that will not
occur again. Immediate attention is
therefore necessary. A good plan
would be to order piano at certain
specified price, leaving the selection
of it to Lyon e Healy. However, they
will send list and full particulars
upon application. Any piano not PROV

MANUFACTURE OF MONEY.
Many Governments Are Supplied by
the Birmingham Mint.

London Daily News-Birmingham
England, has a mint which, in addition
to turning out millions of English
coins does more in the way of supply
ing foreign governments with coin
than any other money-making estab-
lishment in the world.
A few days ago it shipped the first
installment of huge Egyptian order
for 100000 plasters. The consign-
ment weighed FIVE tons, was conveyed
in sixty cases and valued at $15,000,-
0G0. For well over century Birming-
ham has taken the lead in this literal
kind of money-making. AS far back as
1897 one firm coined under contract
for the British government 1000 tons
of copper Gin, valued at about $4,000
900. Among the countries and govern
ments which have gone time after
time to Birmingham for their money
are India, Tunis, Canada, Turkey,
China, Hongkong, Haiti, Sarawak, Tus-
cany, Venezuela and Chile.
In some instances, notably in that Of
China, the coins were not made in Bir-
mingham. AS a matter of fact, no
Chinese coin has, so far as is known,
ever been made outside the celestial
empire. The pride and prejudice of
the Chinese have to be humored, so
the firm sent out complete plant with
men to operate it. and the coins were
struck in China. No fewer than eight
separate plants have been sent out to
China in this way.
For the new kingdom of Italy the
same thing was done in 1862, 1000
tons of BLANKS" being shipped to
furnish the raw material. Again, in
Marseilles, when the re-establishment
of the empire under Napoleon III rem
dcred necessary new copper coinage,
$50 tons of metal were in this way
turned into money on French soil.

Cost of a Campaign Train.

The cost of campaigning by special
tain is not small. A completely
comfortable campaign train must
have private car for the use of the
man who is doing the brunt of the
work and his secretaries and assist.
ant speakers. Then there must be
another car for the reporters of the
press associations, the reporters of
the particular newspapers of the
states through which the train is
passing, and for the campaign COM
mittees of the state. There must be
dining car. Man may live by tin
ned goods alone for a day or two, but
a buffet-car trip of more than two
days is simply murderous. The
Pullman company charges from thir-
ty to fifty dollars day for the use of
its cars. Most railroads will at
tach special car to a regular train
provided seventeen full fares are
paid; most railroads charge dollar
a mile for running a special train.
The commissary department costs a
hundred and fifty dollars, more or
less, day. Speakers who are not
candidates receive from twenty-five
to one hundred dollars day for their
services. Frequently the entire
company of passengers goes to ho-
tel in a city where there is an over
night stop; in some cases the the ma
tlonal committee pays the landlord,
at other times the bills are paid by
the state or the city committee. But
it is perfectly clear that whatever
else campaigning by special train
may accomplish, it keeps money NOV

KING EDWARDS DEMOCRACY.

Edward was attending the races as
every properly bred Englishman does,
from king to consumer. Some of the
kings own horses were entered, and.
as might have been expected, from
the prince. the king was all attention.
But all at once, in the midst of the ex-
citement, it was discovered that Albion
had strayed from his royal seat.
Search was at once instituted: first,
we must believe, in the stables,
and then the country was secured.
Edward, king and emperor, was dis
covered at a British almshouse near
by. He had gone off quietly by him
self and had learned more about the
conduct of almshouses in the brief
moments of noninterruption than any
previous sovereign of England could
ever boast. He had been taker over
the buildings, had interviewed the at
tendants, had tasted the food, and
finally was taking tea with an old lady,
an inmate, and was asking her about
her personal history and listening as

A Parrot Detective,

A parrot belonging to a Nine Tarby

ing the police to arrest a band of
clever and notorious burglars. The
band broke into Nine. Tarby's house

in. AS soon as the mistress return
ed the bird, much to her surprise.

When she discovered the ransacked
state of her house, she sent at once
for the police, and upon the commits
sary arriving he was also greeted
by the parrot with the observation,
"Hullo, big feet!"
The commissary resented the re-
mark, and said "Hush." to the bird.
which replied at once, "Oh, hurry up,
big feet; you are slow, big feet!
The commissary turned to Nine.
Tarby, and the latter, anticipating a
complaint, fastened to explain to the
indignant officer that the bird had
never used the expression before that
day. At that light broke in upon
the commissary.
T" Big Feet is the nickname of a
notorious burglar" he exclaimed 81
