Agitation-Another Franchise.

Everybody had an inning yes

Everybody who wanted anything
had a chance to ask for it and all
who had grievances were given an
opportunity TO ventilate them.
A great variety Of matters en-
gagged the attention Of the city
Legislators street tax, sidewalks,
lights, franchises, etc.
After receiving some reports and
attending to business Of minor inn
portance, the council took up unhn-
ished business.
Alderman @ Brien brought up
the matter Of building the cross
ings required by the postofice in
spector in order to secure free de
livery. The council agreed to build
the necessary crossings some time
ago but nothing had been done.
The Inspector would be here next
Saturday and it was necessary to
show actual work done. A motion
was passed that lumber be pur-
chased and the work Of putting

new equipment had not been order
ed sooner was that the plant was
weak in boiler capacity and extra
machinery would be useless until
the new boiler came. He was
going to push the work of rebuild
ing the plant as rapidly as possible
but it would take more time than
the council had given to do it
properly. He would like for the
council to grant more time. saying
it was the purpose of the company
to make up for past defnciencies.
Attorney Bond was present and
read letter from E. P. Holmes,
one Of the principal members Of the
company. Mr.. Holmes admitted
that the delays in improving the
plant and service had seemingly
been unreasonable but they had
been unavoidable, but the company
was in earnest and he thought it
possible to have all Improvements
Installed by Feb. IS. He asked
the counsel TO bear with them.
Alderman Kline moved that more
time be given. Mr.. O'Brien stated
that it was not question Of getting
the new street lights but Of general
improvement OF the service. Mr..
Donovan said he understood that
the whole system would be improv-
ed when additional power was put
in and Mr.. Ross, in answer to in
quiry stated that it was the in
tention to put in duplicate mach
inery. It was no money in the
company's pockets to delay and
ahey would get the new machinery
in operation as soon as possible.
Kline's motion received no second.
R. G. Latting, representing the
Chickasha Cotton Oil Company,
was present in behalf Of that COM
pany asking the council TO rescind
its former action charging the COM
pany for FIRE hydrants. The COM
pany had put in about 1000 feet Of
pipe and its own fire plugs at acost
Of about SI7oo. They were large
taxpayers and paying for the wa

should be asked to pay for FIRE pro

Mr.. Latting explained the matter
at length. pr. Dawson said tha
he didn't understand that it wa,
the intention to charge anybody fol
fire protection and he didn't think

discussing that affair the other day
said:
$50 far from being typical Of the gar
rison life in the army, the conditions
brought to light by the Taggart divorce
scandal are libel on the family OF every
man in the barracks. Beyond one or
two exceptions, Il never knew OF a whis-
per against the honor Of married wom-
an in the army. The man who would de-
part from the highest standard Of per-
sonal honor could not remain in the
army.
Il want to say that there is no place
lin the world where . woman's honor is
more safe than IN the environments OF
an army post. There are no men more
upright, no men more chivalrous, no
men to whom would sooner trust the
women of my family than the rough and
ready men of the west-army or civ
ilian. Respect for women is char
acteristic of our American manhood.
and there is no, place where that fine
/ type Of manhood Is seen to better adj
vantage than in the rough western coun-
| try, where the post life OF the army Of
| icer takes him. The public should
make no mistake about the standards
of morality at army posts. They are
not the standards which the Taggart
affair might seem to Indicate
| While one of the most genial Of men,
Gen. Weston demands the respect that
is due to the uniform he wears. During
the Spanish war mate on board trans
port which was carrying commissary
supplies made some sighting remark
about the general in the hearing Of the
ships crew. Weston was coming up
the side OF the vessel at the time, and
as soon as hereached the deck he walked
iquietly-to the mate, who was grinning,
and with lightning blow laid the lat
ter fiat upon the deck. That is merely
to teach you to respect my rank and uni
form, he said.

FLAVOR SOUP WITH WEEDS.
Results Produced by the French si:h
Potatoes and sorrel Il
Delicious.

The French people esteem SO higt1e
the wholesome qualities of sorrel that
they call the soup made of it~potage
few New Workers use sorrel in their own
houses that it is difficult to get the
vegetable outside of the shops that cater
to the French trade. It has sourish,
sinegary taste that Is appetizing and
piquant. 81
The average sorrel soup is made with
meat stock to which some cream is
added. Then boiled potatoes enough to
flavor the soup are sliced and put in.
It is regarded as most wholesome
soup and is certainly very delicious
one, whatever it's hygienic qualities
may be. So great is the popularity OF
potage sante that nine walters out OF
ten, if left to suggest the soup, will men,
ton it. It is their own idea of what is
good and seasonable. In this matter
their taste is not bad.
Persons who cannot get the sorrel cul-
tivated in French gardens will find an
admirable substitute in the ordinary
times eat. It's scientific name is Rumex
acetosella, and it is a similar variety
that the French cultivate.
French cooks use sorrel in omelettes,
salads, grayies, meat stuf1ings and in ali
sorts of combinations that admit OF
favoring with herbs. But this is above
+ all the time for sorrel soup, or potage
sante.
One of the other weeds that Ameri.
cans now avoid may be made psgatable,
and housewives who are afraid of 1t
might walk through the italian quarter
and see how popular it still is there The
long leaves OF the dandelion are now Bit
ter. The roots are almost too tough to
be used. But the leaves If boiled twice
are as good as in the early spring.
They should be cooked about half the
time necessary and then the water
should be changed. They are then a.
good as ever.
The correspondent Of the Sun who has
written about turnip salad must think
that there is very little knowledge Of
southern cooking in this city if there is
ignorance of such well-established
dish. Turnip greens are one of the
dishes that divide popularity with kale
and spinach. Beet tops have rather
more flavor and are said to be more
nutritious because of the sugar they con-
tain. Kale is not SO popular in New
York because there are few places in this
city that are large enough to hold both
the family and the kale once it has be-
gun to cook.
in some parts Of New England the
long-leafed sour dock is used for the
same purpose, and 1t is said to be equal
to spinach. In the vegetable stands Of
the Italian quarter there are piles of un-
recognizable weeds that are highly val
ued as food products. Yet the natives Of
the country regions in which they are
picked would scorn to eat them.

with rank of major general, which is
said to be slated for next month. Gen.
Weston is now at the head of the COM
missary department of the army and has
a most enviable record as the most eff
cient commissary general of recent
years. He is a great favorite of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who first met him at
Santiago, Cuba, during the Spanish war,
and the encounter between the future
commissary general and the president
of the United States Is q pleasant REM
iscence to both.
/ Gen. Weston was then only a lieuten-
ant colonel, but was chief OF commits
sary in Skaters army, and proved him-
self a hustler who did not hesitate to
cut red tape when emergency demanded.
Col, Roosevelt had come into Santiago
to get supplies for his men, and ran
across Weston while the latter was
wrestling with boxes and barrels in the
commissary stores Col. Weston was
dressed in very dirty pair OF duck
trousers and shirt, and was throwing
boxes around like a roustabout. Col.
Roosevelt could not believe at first that
this was the chief Of commissary, but
was soon satisfied of his identity when
Weston ordered two wagon loads OF
canned tomatoes and corn to be dis
patched at once to Roosevelt's regt-
ment.
While the future president and Wes-
ton were talking, a driver of team
passed by with suspicious bulge about
his waist. Weston stopped him and
asked him what he had under his shirt.
"Oh, that's all right, partner, re-
sponded the driver.
Weston called to q soldier and put
the driver under arrest. Il do not ar
rest you. for having stolen those canned
tomatoes that see under your shirt,
but because you called me partner. 8"
said Weston who, having gratified his
humor, Immediately set the driver free
because, he said: I'VE are too badly in
need OF drivers" The man was then di-
rected to drive one of the wagon loads
Of supplies to Col. Roosevelt's camp.

pendent position. He was thorn n the
side Of the managers Of the United
States senate, no matter what party Wa
in control. He was probably as thor
oughly hated man as any who has sat
In the senate in recent years, but at the
same time he had many loyal friends,
and he was always q power to be reckr
oned with.
Mr.. Pettigrew is naturally political
schemer and conspirator, and II was tnos
delight of his life to Illustrate the cars
fully laid plans OF senate leaders. All
sorts OF criticism and charges we're
made, but no one was ever able to place
his finger on anything dishonorable Of
dishonest In Mr.. PettigreW's senatorial
career. He was simply not liked. He
would sit all hunched down In his chair
pulling strips OF paper to pieces ana
scattering them on the door and glanc~
ing furtiye1y from under pair Of shaggy
eyebrows while the two sides OF the sens
ate were endeavoring to reach an agree
ment regarding the disposition Of some
measure. When everything seemed To-
be running smoothly and m agreement
about to be declared, Pettigrew would
unlimber his long legs and, straighten-
Ing up his more than six feet Of body,
would, in whining, querulous tone In
ject himself into the proceedings and
spoil whatever game was going on.
This was after he had left the repub-s
licans altogether and had become free
silver populist.
There is now quite fight on Ia South
Dakota against Senator Gamble, and
Pettigrew is shrewdly trying to ma
nipulate matters so as to secure the leg
islature for himself & II he should
come back to Washington he would Az
least liven up the sessions Of the sem
ate, for there was scarcely day OF his
last four years Of service In which hsS

CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL
Amount Consumed by Moderate
Drinkers Is on the In
crease.

p Alcohol as beverage Is q matter
which still defies scientific manage
ment There is psychic element
which is beyond control and which is
no doubt at the basis of the enormous
liquor traffic, says the American Mag
azine. Published statistics are SO dis
crerant as to be unreliable, but we are
perhaps safe in stating that the per
capita consumption in Great Britain
is diminishing, but in the United
States is increasing. 1t has been said
that this is due to the hard times
abroad and the prosperity here as it
is an undoubted fact that in times of
privation these expensive. drinks are
abandoned.
A newspaper has stated that over
SO,0CO, 900 glasses of beer are daily con-
sumed in the United States, or one for
each. man woman and child. II this;
is true, and 1t is apparently true, Ii
needs explanation. We are sure that
the number Of excessive drinkers is
diminishing. and that business reasons
require steadily increasing number
Of abstainers Only recently drunk
en- steamster drove wagon over d
precipice In the Yellowstone park ann
killed three passengers, and the Incl
dent proves that in this and in many
other employments the public will de-
mand abstainers. In spite of all this,
ir spite OF the great temperance move
ment, and in spite Of our repeated
proofs Of the damage Of excess and the
danger OF moderation, 1t Is evident
that the amount consumed by the mod
crate drinkers is steadily increasing.
The psychic effect OF alcohol is NO
doubt the cause. Under its sedatiye
influence, worries SO diminish as to
cause one to take new view OF thiags
perverted, to be sure, but more VI
less pleasurable In the rush of gu:
strenuous life. This is probably The
reason for the reply Of drinking man
to the statistics showing the greater
longevity OF abstainers, that though
alcohol might shorten lives, It seemed
to make them broader and thicker, SO
that the bulk was more In the end
There must be some psychic cause
for phenomenon which no amount 6!
argument Is able to check. Probably
1t Is a sign that we are not living
properly = perhaps exhausted from
burning the candle at both ends. With
less strenuous life we would not neei
the sedative, and this is probably the
r,ain Iessou fn ha derived from the
present status of the question.
