The result of the election in Chicago
at which practical and immediate mu-
nicipal ownership of street railways
was the issue, was that the people vot-
ed approval of an ordinance previously
passed by tn City Council for the is
suance of $75,OOO,OOO of certificates for
the purchase of the street railways of
the city; also the approval Of an ex-
preston of belief that the city should
at once proceed to the operation OF
street railways-a mere expression of
opinion without binding force: but the
legal approval of the authority to at
once proceed, failed by about 1900
votes of the required sixty per cent of
the total vote cast. The City can now
proceed to the purchase Of the street
railways, but cannot operate them un
til given authority at some future cleo
ton. In the meanwhile, however, it
can lease them on the terms most ad-
Vantageous to the city that competi-
tive bids for the lease will secure.

Mark Twain, besides being one of the

for two very useful devices, the Mark

When Twain wrote "Pudd'n Head Will
SON." the world laughed and enjoyed
the story, but thought the thumb-mark
merely an ingenious literary conceit.
But the adoption by the army and
many police departments of the thumb
mark as a means of Identification has
as completely vindicated the impor-
