Cleveland was very much impressed by
Justice Alvey's ability as a jurist and
favored his nomination. but was deferred
from doing so because OF the fact that
Judge Alvey was a Southerner, and if
the position were given TO a man from
that section, IL might engender ami

STRENGTH OF CHARACTER.
1t Combines Power of VIII and
Power of Self Restraint.

rover OF sell restraint.
Strength of character consists of two
things Of will and power Of self
restraint. 1t requires two things, there
fore, for it's existence-strong feelings
and strong command over them. Now,
1t is here we make a great mistake. We
mistake strong feelings for strong
character
A man who bears all before him, be-
fore whose frown domestics tremble
and the children quake, because he
has his will obeyed and his own way
in all things, we call strong man,
The truth is he is weak man., 1t Is
his passions that are strong. He that
is mastered by them is weak.
You must measure the strength of a
man by the power of the feelings he
subdues, not by the power of those
which subdue him, and hence COM
posure is often the result of strength 3
Did we never see man receive o
flagrant Insult only growing a little
pale and then reply quietly? This is q
man spiritually strong so
Or did we never see man bearing a
hopeless, daily trial remain silent and
never tell the world what cankered his
home peace? That is strength.
He who, keenly sensitive, with many
powers. Of indignation In him, can be
provoked and yet restrain himself and
forgive-he is the strong man, the spir.
itual hero.

COUNCIL ORDERS
PIPE FOR SEWER.


City Council was in special session
Tuesday for the purpose Of opening
bids tor iron pipe to replace the terra
Gotta sewer drain that now extends
across the water plant property on
East Commerce street.
There were present at the meeting
President Woodruff, Messrs. Barker,
Jones, Daniels. W. F Woodruff. Mo.
Galliard. Marks Fox, McGear and
Gar wood. -
There was no other business before
Connoil other than presenting the bids
of manufacturers to furnish six hun.
dred feet Of iron pipe to the city.
The bids were as follows:
j. Thompson & Co, s in. pipe, $40
4bs to the length. 741a cents per foot.
Martin Anderson Co, 8 in. pipe,
$41 % per ton of 1000 pounds.
Donaldson Iron Company, (seconds)
$40 lbs per length, sae 65 per ton of
1000 lbs or 500 psr foot.
r. D. Wood & Co.. 720 lbs. per
length, $32 per ton of 1000 lbs., or So
cents per foot.
There was some discussion as to the
quality of so-called second pipe, as
offered the city by the Donaldson
Company. Il was explained that the
pipe was imperfect in the making and
would not stand high pressure for
water, but if they we're tight would
answer all purposes of drain.
Mr.. McGalIiard offered motion
that the bid be awarded to Donaldson
Company provided the pipe we're
coated, and were free from cracks or
air holes. The motion was carrieds
The City Recorder presented COM
munioation from James W. Trenchard.
In his letter Mr.. Trenchard called at.
tention to his recent appointments as a
member of the Charter Commission,
and he felt honored that Council had
given his name consideration. He re:
allied, however, that the making OF
charter was most important matter
and he felt himself incompetent to
assume the responsibilities. He there.
fore begged leave to decline.
Mr.. Jones moved the resignation be
accepted which was accomplished.
Mr.. W. F. Woodruff thought the
commission should be completed by
the appointment OF someone to ill the
vacancy, and he nominated Mr.. Ed
M. Fithian, and that gentleman was
promptly selected.
AOonnoil then adjourned.

THE FATE Or CAPTAIN LEE.

Debt of Gratitude That This Coun-
try Owes to Spain.
During the summer of 1776 Captain
John Lee of Marblehead, cruising un-
der al commission from congress, hav-
ing taken and sent home five valuable
prizes, entered the port of Bilbao in
Spain. The captains of two of his
prizes and part of their crews were
on board These officers Immediately
protested against their capture and had
Captain Lee arrested on charge Of
piracy. The local authorities sent the
documents in the case to Madrid, to
gather with the commission granted
by this new and unknown power.
In the. decision of the Spanish min
istry depended not alone the fate Of
Captain Lee, but whether some of the
most important ports in Europe should
be opened or closed to American cruz
sers and priyateers, The English min
lister in Spain brought all his influence
to bear against Captain Lee. At this
moment the Declaration of the Fourth
of July reached Madrid. The complaint
against Captain Lee was dismissed,
supplies for his ship and aid in repair
ing it were furnished, and public dec
laration was made that inSpanish ports
the new flag of America was as free
and as welcome as was the flag Of Eng
land.
Spain, like France, also helped the
United States with 100000 francs
and with cargoes of military stores~-
