N LTHOUGH laboring under the VA handicap of a yellow fever visi- tation. New Orleans is preparing for an exceptionally brilliant season of French opera, according to an announce ment made by J. M Leveque. editor of the Harlequin. Impresario Charley, whose fame is by no means confined to New Orleans, is at present in Paris selecting singers for the approaching season. A pool has been formed by leading men in New Orleans who will give their fnan- cial support to the undertaking and thus insure salaries to every member of the French opera company. Having been placed on a buslness-like basis, 1t is hoped that the French opera will be restored to It's former prestige. Recently the in- stitutlon has been under a cloud. and It's financial career has been rather dis astrous but this year 1t Is hoped that there will be no repetition of past troubles. Indications point to a season of French opera this winter In New Orleans that will recall the former glories of an instl- tuition which Is intimately associated with life in the Crescent City.
 There is something peculiarly sad ir the suspension of an established news paper after many years of usefulness. recent example is the Minneapolis Times which has ceased to exist after a career extending through sixteen years. Earnest effort failed to place the Times on g paying basis. In sixteen years a papei possessing the qualities and means of ths Times becomes almost public institution It Is a part of the life Of the people. and to its readers appears a faithful and con. stant friend, through It's editorial columns shaping their opinions and by its new. columns keeping them in touch with
 world. The suspension of such paper must awaken feelings akin to the sorrow we experience when a human friend 1. no more.

Tn many respects Birmingham resem- bles my old home. Louisville" said W. 10. Addis at the Hotel Hlllman. q have no reference to the topography of the two places. Rather have I In mind the general business activity and the hustle and bustle of the people. It beats any thing l have seen in the south, and carry back with me nothing but the pleasantest recollections of my visit here"
 MT. Addis Is an Indianan by adoption and Is at present connected with the United States railway quarantine serv- Ice, which works in connection with the marine hospital service. He Is at pres ent located at Jackson, Miss, where southern headquarters of the department under Dr. G. B. Young. were established shortly after Dr. J. H. White established the marine hospital service in New Or leans. MT. Addis said Dr. Young would shortly visit Birmingham
 We are not having one-half the trou- ble now that we experienced when the quarantine was first put on." said Addis. If the fever should continue every month, year after year. the people would in time become so thoroughly acquainted with the rules and regulations regarding railroad passenger traffic that there would seldom be any trouble Even now the average travelling man knows the minutest details of the rules governing our department, and we rarely have oe- casion to detain a drummer. Of course fhoqa Wh n ri Ina ally are not used to all the regulations. but complications are not half so knotty as they were six weeks ago."

 Families wear out in generations, races in centuries; but the evils which do it never wear out.
 A girl had rather have a poor com plexion than to be caught getting kissed to improve 1t.
 It does seem as if it would be very easy for a large family to support one man: but it is always the other way round
 If a girl had any reasoning power she would know it was her own fault if she has a dimple that makes a man want to kiss 1t.
 woman kind of feels she hasn't done her duty if her boy doesn't look like his father. and she is afraid for his morals If he does.

In the Pound.

A day or SO ago Chief Lane empound-
ed three, ear-old shorthorn Durham
bull. The animal is red in color and
both ears are slitted. 1t is in good con-
diiion. 1t will lie sold Monday. if the
owner does not appear beforehand and
claim it.
According to city law il case of this
character there is no redress for the
owner of All empounded animal after it
has gone uader the hammer. In such
event. after the expenses on such an ami
malin the way of caring for and adver-
tising it have been paid from the pro-
ceeds of the sale the remainder, if aay
there be, will 60 to the owner, if said
owner makes application for same and
proves property at any time within a
year OF the sale. Of course if the owner
appears before the animal is sold, by
paving the accrued costs. whatever they
may be, he is given possession of his anie
NAL.
The law only allows five days for ad-
vertising the animal and makes no pro-
vision for the payment of a notice in the
newspapers. This seems strange and
rather hard condition to impose on a
man who resides in the country.
Nearly every man who would be likely
to own stock lives in the country and
little opportunity has he to learn that his
animal is emnounded in the city. He is
not likely to be in town within the five
days to see the posted notices and might
not see them if he were here The ma
jority of the people living here never see
one OF these notices.
IF Ifprovision were made for advertising
and paying for estray notices in the
papers farmers chance to redeem his
stock would be multiplied many times.
Th animal in question is to be sold next
Monday.

Council Notes.

The city fathers met Monday
evening in regular monthly ses-
sion and transacted such business
as came before them. In the
matter of bills against the vari-
Gus funds there was nothing of
particular importance. In fact,
the expense account for the
month was very light.
The Jefferson street sewer was
The subject Of some consideration.
This sewer has become clogged
in some manner and the clearing
away of the obstruction was a
matter left to a committee. The
supposition is that at the point
where the sewer discharges into
the river the bank has broken
down, in fact, caved in and in
this way closed the mouth of the
sewer. Last winter, at one time,
owing to its failure to carry the
necessary seepage, water was
backed into the cellar of DR..
Farra's residence.
It was decided to place a
cement walk in front of the city
hall and J. E. FELTON, was given
the contract at $27o. This is a
much-needed improvement.
The matter of sidewalks was
considered and Chief of Police
Lane was instructed to issue
notices requiring many property y
owners to fix up the walks along
their premises.
Some time ago the health and
street committee made a tour of
the city and the result OF their
investigation was to have been a
request for the condemnation OF
a couple of China shacks. Owing
to the absence of Councilman
Avery in Southern Oregon nc
action was taken in this matter,
However, Chief Lane was in.
structed to investigate into iabili.
ties of fire in the J. H. Harli:
block, with special attention te
| defective hues.
Police Judge J. F. Yates wa.
instructed to look up the various
insurance policies carried on city
property and make a report OF
the same later.
The matter of shortage of ex
Police Judge Grefoz was up 70
considerations. The committe,
appointed to expert his book
consisted of Councilmen Lilly
Emery and Avery. Mr.. Lii,
made a verbal report in the mat
ter, stating that a credit in th
matter of a certain sewer ha,
been found whereby Mr.. Grefoz'
liability was cut down somewhat
! This committe desired littl
more time to make their repor
and the same was granted.
In the matter of a petition 70
a sewer through the S. N. Wilk
ins and ]. c. Taylor blocks, til
same, after consideration, wa
granted. Mayor Johnson, how
. ever, made it clear that the cit
should not be held responsible
for the payment of the same. II
said that it would be so manage
that the contractor would have
hold the property owners respor
: sible for his pay, but that i
!. would assist in such way ths
would guarantee said contracto
: his money and promptly, too.
An adjourned council sessio
: is to be held next Thursday nigl
!, and we understand it is for Il
). especial purpose of determinin
:, ;. on what steps are best in th
: Greffoz matter.

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that infiict more
torture than rheumatism and there is.
probably no disease for which such a
varied and useless lot OF remedies have
been suggested. To say that it can be
cured is. therefore, a bold statement to
make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
which enjoys an extensive sale, has met
with great success In the treatment of
this disease. One application OF Pain
Balm will relieve the pain, and huaareds
OF sufferers have testified to permanent
cures by Its use. Why suffer when Pain
Balm affords such quick relief and costs
but trifle. For sale by Ritter Bros.
