Which the Routine Business
3of the City Was Transacted.

The city council met in regular ses-
sion last night, with Mayor Bowers in
To chair, and the following aldermen
present: Hunter, Ozment, Caldwell,
Johnson, Manley and Gone.
The reading of the minutes of the
last regular meeting was the first or
der. The reading of minutes of two
special meetings, called to take action
relative to the sanitary condition of
city, we're dispensed with.
a petition, numerously signed was
pf1sented, asking that a public foun-
tain be placed on Spring street, near
The Starr Mayfield Grocery Company,
re1erred to the water and light COM
ulktee. All present expressed the be-
LEA that this fountain should be pro-
vjdbd, and it will likely be erected at
81 oarly date.
a petition was presented asking for

Avenue and Louisiana street, referred
to Ester and light committee.

Al bills o. KID by finance committee
ordered paid, excepting the electric
light bill for Jrne, which was objected
to by Alderman Cement. He claimed
charges were made for services not
rendered. Alderman Hunter favored
the payment Of the bill, and spoke for
it. Cement explained his opposition,
stating that the company has sub
stituted street lights of less voltage
than the contract called for. On vote
the bill was ordered paid, Cement
and Gone voting against allowing
same.
The mayor was authorized to ar
range TO pay in cash bills for a street
grader and equipment for the fire de-
partment, that city may have benefit
of liberal discounts offered.
Alderman Ozment reported the
work of cleaning the city was not 60
ing forward as satisfactory as is de-
sired, because many citizens are not
with the order to clean up.
Thought examples should be made of
some, by assessing fines. The mayor
was of same opinion, and suggested
that city marshal take steps to enforce
ordinances covering the cases cited.
1t was also agreed that weeds be cut
from lots of residents, and the
expense charged as tax against the
property. The city attorney was in
structed to have these lots thus giving
offense declared public nuisauoes, that
the work may proceed.

THE PALESTINE
BAR ASSOCIATION
Meets and Passes Resolutions on
the Death of Judge 6. Ii.
Gould.

uC dlcStlilc DAT ASSOCldltOu
met at the court house at 9 a. m.
today, and appointed a committee
to prepare suitable resolutions on
the death of Judge G.. HI. Gould,
and adjourned until 2 p. m. when
another meeting was held to re-
ceive the report of the committee.
The committee appointed was
composed of Mr.. Thos. b. Green
wood, chairman; Hon. A. w.
Gregg, Judge B. III. Gardner,
Judge j. }. Word, Judge w. III.
Gill and Mr.. w. G. Campbell.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, the Almighty Ruler
of the Universe has summoned to
his eternal home Judge q. IL.
Gould, when he was ready to an
swer such summons as few men
are; and, whereas. we desire to
express our sense of the great loss
sustained by our profession and
state, therefore, be it resolved;y
First. That in the death of
Judge Gould we have lost one of
our best beloved and truest citi-
zens, one of the nobIest and sin
cerest of friends, and a lawyer,
who exemplified the highest type
of professional purity and useful
ness.
Second. That Judge Gould pos
sessed, as he fully deserved, the
most unreserved affection and es-
TEEN of all who ever came within
the Influence of his great; gesiai
and kindly heart and generous
nature.
Third. That in his private life
Judge Gould demonstrated the
influence of christian faith and
hope. As an elder in the Presby-
terian church for more than a
third of a century, few men have
worked more increasingly to point
the way towards the higher ends
and aims of human life.
Fourth. As a practitioner Judge
Gould was able, amiable, cour-
teous. pure and undefiled. His
presence inspired admiration and
and n rare personal mag
netism gained him the confidence
of judges, jurors and lawyers. a
which he never abused.
Fifth. The bravery and fidelity
of Judge Gould as a soldier in the
Confederate army was best at
tested by the regard and love of
his old comrades and the honors
which they delighted to bestow
upon him.
As a husband and father Judge
Gould was always unselfish, gen.
erous and devoted, and our ten
derest sympathy goes out to his
widow and chileren.
Seventh. Resolved, That copy
of these resolutions be forwarded
to the grief-stricken family, and
that the daily press be furnished
copies for publication, and that
these resolutions be presented to

The Suez Canal.

Forty years ago the prevailing opin-
lon about the unfinished Suez canal
was that it would never be paying in
vestment. Two years ago the tolls
were reduced little over per cent,
and still the annual dividend is 25 per
cent. Thirty years ago the English
government somewhat reluctantly
bought up the shares owned by the
khedive Of Egypt for $2O,0OO,OOO, and
they are now worth $14O,OOOC0O.
The cost of constructing the Suez
canal was nearly three times as much
as the original estimates, and it took
twice as long to complete the work as
the engineers had promised. All this
is encouraging for the Panama canal.
1t may take ten or even twenty wears
to make it a substantial success, COM
mercially and otherwise, but it is in the
line of progress, and the results will
be as stupendous as the enterprise is
costly and batting.

A Back Step Forward.

Pastor Wagner's preaching Of the
simple life for everybody is evidently
not at discount in his own country.
The late premier of France, NJ
Combes, has returned from the capital
to his native village to resume the
practice Of medicine, which he laid
down when he sought fortune in a pub
lie career. While this is a revolution
in the life of one man, it is nothing un-
usual in France. That is country of
extremes, of lofty pretense and Of rus
tic simplicity.
DR.. Combes is fortunate that he has
French village in which to live his
life over again. 1t will be the village
OF his boyhood, only the faces will be
changed from youthful bloom to mid
die age gravity. He can talk over old
times, and, what is more to the pur-
pose, he can give to his friends and
neighbors the benefit of his experience
in the capital of the nation. It spells
decay for a place to have it's brightest
youth depart and never return to bless
it with the knowledge and culture &C.
quired In the world. The returning
native should be honored for what lie
has been abroad and loved for what he
was in the old days. This will encour-
age the habit Of keeping in touch with
home and giving back in some shape
the fruits Of mans best years.

Where Woman Is at Home.

During the past twelve months more
than 100 American actresses have put
the applause and glitter Of the stage
aside for the quieter career of mar
riage. The making of a home is work
to which woman can best turn her
hand. She is fitted by nature for this
sphere and may or may not be cut out
for business or professional career.
Woman is always at disadvantage
in business or professional life. It is
not her natural environment, and she

No American Paste Diamonds,

The editor of the Manufacturing
Jeweler, Mr.. Walter B. Frost, recently
took up the pen to refute the common
notion that imitation diamonds are
manufactured in large quantities in
this country out Of paste and quartz.
He says:
No. imitation diamonds whatever are
made in this country. They are all man.
ufactured in Europe, where labor is very
cheap, and probably imitation stones
which have ground facets never will be
manufactured here, as the American Ia
Dor cost would make them so expensive
as to be prohibitive. There are some
pressed stones made here, but these are
confined to stones without facets. No
stones are made out Of quartz, with the
exception of a very few which are cut in
Colorado and other tourist localities, and
these are of value simply as souvenirs.
The imitation stones made of strass,
which is only a higher quality Of glass.
are much superior to anything which
could be cut out of quartz.
Incidentally Mr.. Frost says that there
is no middle ground in diamonds. A
white stone is either a diamond of
high value or it is not a diamond and
is worth nothing as a gem. Imitation
stones are made in Europe out Of glass
and are mounted in this country, and
the sole value in the product is the la.
Dor put upon them and the material
used for setting.

a Business and Not Philanthropy.

a Business and Not Philanthropy.
Undoubtedly the current agitation
over life insurance matters will have d
tendency to improve the interests Of
policy holders. The world moves. and
competition if not conscience will force
the companies to provide for security
and efficiency at the minimum rates of
premium compatible in an enterprise
where results are wholly prospective.
1t is not only doubtful but may be
declared impossible that life insurance
can be carried on in the manner sug-
gested by the Chicago Record-Herald
when it says:
'Life insurance companies, whether
managed by stock companies or not,
are essentially mutual enterprises. The
policy holders pay in all the money, and
they should take it all out again, plus
interest and less the legitimate ex-
penses Of management. In no other
sense should there be either profit or
loss in the business"
Countless life insurance associations
on the mutual plan have come to grief
within this generation simply because
they promised and aimed to give profit
to nobody but policy holders. Those
which survive do so because they exist
as feature of association among those
who have other fraternal interests.
In the business of strict life insur-
ance capital is necessary to cultivate
broad field which will give new blood
year by year. A reserve is necessary
in order to meet competition and ex-
cessive drains, as in the case Of cpl
demic. Capital, no matter who con-
trolls it, must make money. In life in
surance the capitalist sets out to make
money upon money by square deal.
He offers what the policy holder con-
siders value in exchange for what he
himself considers value-the premium
for carrying the risk There are life
insurance companies run on this plan
that are as good as. government bank,
and if there are shaky companies it is
not the fault of the system, but of the
authorities whose duty it is to make
them live up to the laws under which
they operate.

ABOUT COMPRESSED TEA.
Much Used by Russian Officers in
Kanchuria-How It II
Prepared. E%a,

Compressed tea 10 common enough in
Siberia. but 80 far o. l know" says a
writer, IAN unknown commodity In
this country. It Is an ordinary black
tea, which is very widely used by the
Buriats Of the Transbaikal region, by
whom the herb thus prepared is drunk,
Favored with salt and sour cream.
Sugar would be preferred, Of course.
but it Is either unattainable or too
high-priced, costing, as 1t does, from
Is cents to one dollar pound. The
compressed tea used BY the Russian
officers in ManGhuria Is rendered hard
by superb modern machinery. !, Such
has been the pressure employed that
the formerly soft and yielding leaves
assume the appearance Of q hard tile,
which can with difficulty be cut with a
knife. AS a general rule, q ,mallet or
hammer is, used to break off piece,
very much as II the tablet were OF

"Suchong tea is used to make the of-
fetal compressed tea. 1t needs no
cream because nature has given 1t a
slightly creamy taste, and also one
that is feebly saccharine, SO that it re-
quires less sugar than other teas. In
flavor this compressed tea cannot be
compared with the natural herb; It is
much f1atter in taste. but possesses the
same stimulating properties. A piece
the size of thimble is sufficient for q
large, strong cup. No teapot is neces-
sary. Scalding water is poured on the
nugget in the cup, and in q few min
utes the tea Is ready. G~-a
"No cementing agent whatever is
used in COMPRISING high-grade teas
not even sugared water nor artificial
heat. A tablet thus compressed may
be exposed to soaking rains with little
danger of injury. AS q general rule,
however, compressed tea is kept in
worsted bags. The official Russian
compressed tea is not obtainable In
Europe outside of Russia"

ON READING AND TALKING,

Books sre no substitute for talk,
says the Spectator. They come out
of talk and go back into talk. We
doubt if reading alone ever made "a
full man." 1t has been said that read
ing with some one else's head but
talking is thinking-if we may borrow
a smile from the motor car--with
two head power. AS a bookwormi Is to
the man Of the world, so is the silent
thinker to the talking thinker. The
man who doe rot talk is q stranger

what solitude is and how far It ex.
