SCENES OF DISORDER.
Philadelphia Council Sells City's Gas
Works to Corporation Against
PeccIe's Wishes.

Philadelphia. May 20.-Amid scenes of
disorder unprecedented in the annals
of Philadelphia's legislative body, the
city council voted to lease the city's
gas works to the United Gas Improve
ment for a term of
five years for the total sum of S25, O00,-
900, the money TO be paid in various
amount before the end of 1907. Coun-

ing against the lease to the United Gas
Improvement company from, ! O'Clock
in the afternoon, when the proceedings
opened in the finance committee room,
until after s p. m, When the select
council passed the bill and sent it TO
the mayor.
The climax was reached when the
vote in the common council was an
nounced after, three hours of debate
The moment President George NJ.
Curdy. of the common council, an
nounced the vote a great uproar was
started in the gallery, which was
crowded to the doors. From all over the
gallery came Kisses and cries of
'Thieves.' a squad of police cleared
the gallery.
The agitation against the passage of
the bill resulted in the common coun-
Gil amending the measure so as to pro-
vide for a slight reduction in the price
of gas. The amendment as adopted
provides the price of gas from the date
of the lease until January l, 1911, shall
be 81 a thousand cubic feet. the same
as the present price; from 1911 to 1921,
95 cents; from 1921 to 1886, 80 cents;
from 1886 to 1856, 50 cents, and there,
after until the expiration of the lease
in 1880 so cents.
Mayor Weaver is expected to veto the
bill, and in that event both chambers
will probably pass it over his veto.
The vote in the common council was
"a to 8, and in the select council 81 to
4. There is only one democrat in each
body, and both voted against the lease.
There is some talk among citizens
who fought the lease of taking the mat
ter to the courts.
The committee of nine issued a state
ment to the citizens of Philadelphia in
which it says:
You received the most inSOlent af-
front from 0 councilmen ever given
to the people of any great American
city. Despite reason and respect for
the rights of the people the city ounci
unhampered control of you gas works.
Your committee calls upon you to
awaken to Your injuries, Which are an
insult to your declared opinion and the
expressed wishes of your mayor asking
for delay; theft of your property, en-
slaVement for three generations to a
gas monopoly. Rise in your might and
by personal, unceaSing effort make i'm
possible the contamination of the great
2St steal ever attempted"

RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA

Music boxes and blue light are two
of the latest things in the line of
a~naesthetics. The music boxes do not
reduce pain or render the patients in
sensible, but, according to Professor
Redard, of Geneva, they do take away
certain i'll effects that often accom-
pany the use of anaesthetics. 1t is a
we'll known fact that external impress
sions received during the period of
somnolence have great bearing on the
dreams. From this Professor Redard
conceived the idea of utilizing music.
1t Was found that the music had Il
tendency to take away the disagreeable
excitation previous to the use of the
c%hloroform- or other an~aesthetic. The
awakening was also found to be free
from excitement.

Taking into consideration its wealth
and the high standing of many of its
members, the French Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals gets
small results In proportion TO its ex-
penditures. 1t accomplishes little in di-
minishing cruelty in Paris. The So
ciety seems to consider that its main
purpose is to reward people who do
good to animals, instead of devoting all
its energies to Furnishing those who are
cruel. Every year thousands of francs
are expended in gold, silver and bronze
medals TO concierges who adopt stray
cats or to Journalists who write an oc-
casional article preaching humanity.

Swallows and house martins build by
sticking together pellets of prepared
road mud. Most of the material is OBJ
tanned from the drying puddles on the
high roads. If not mixed with anything
else the tendency of these pellets would
be to crumble when dry. But the
swallow tribe is supplied with a mu-
tcOus secretion which enables it to gum
the particles together. The swallows

this mucous matter only, An Indian
