NEEDS NOT COMPLIED WITH
Indignation Expressed at Monthly
Meeting Of Organization Over
Alleged Shortcomings.

Believing that the treatment given to
their section of the city has been par
tial and unjust. the North Capitol and
lexington Citizens Association at it's
monthly meeting at St. Martins Hall
last night took occasion to disapprove
of the action Of the District Commis-
sioners in refusing to grant them a
hearing relative to civic improvements
for their locality. which they believed
should have been included in the Dis
trict appropriation bill.
The executive committee. OF which
President A. r. Severn is chairman eX
odicio, reported that special efforts had
been made to have certain items for the
Improvement of their section OF the city
included in the District appropriation
bill. Mr.. Severn pointed out that the bill
had been reported without including
single Improvement for this section OF
the city. with exception of about 100 feet
Of paving on Bryant street northwest.
Subcommittee Criticised.
Mr.. Severn said that the committee
hoped 10 have some of the items includ-
ed before the bill passed the Senate. He
said that the action the subcommittee
OF the Committee on Appropriations had
taken in striking out the improvements
the association advocated was striking

pointed out that there are a number OF

any pavement whatsoever. and that
these streets have not a single vacant
lot. while there are only a very few
houses on Bryant street. and that II Is
the last street in the section that has
a single house on it,

Mr.. Severn then spoke further on the
subject of improvements for the section.
He said that the Commissioners had re-
fused TO grant the committee a hearing
relative 10 the District appropriation
bin. He said the action the subCOmmit-
tee had taken was only another striking
example OF the weak points in our pres
ent system OF local government.
Allege Bad Treatment.
Expressions OF disapprovaI OF the
treatment afforded the section were also
made By other members.
A motion was carried disappearing of
the action OF the Commissioners in urE-
ing that water meters be installed in all
private residences. 1t was argued that
should meters be installed in houses, the
water rent would be materially in
creased
BY a rising vote the association unan-
imously adopted a resolution expressing
its sympathy for the victims Of the

A uninue School Course.

The Chicago School of Domestic
Art and Sciences has decided to op-
en- a course in practical shirtwaist
making. Already a score or more OF
the society girls and prospective de-
butantes of the three sides of the
city have enrolled as members.
Some of the students have big in
comes but small inclination to pay
SIS or 500 for a iimsy garment which
they can learn to make during the
dull hours of the morning. Others OF
those who have enrolled have smaller
incomes and lesser inclinations.
The course will consist of ten les
sons of two and one-half hours each.
For this instruction the girls will pay
$3.50. but they say it will be money
we'll invested.
The instruction will not be limited
to the hand-sewed affairs, however.
The art" of making shirtwaists on a
sewing machine also will be taught.
Each student will be furnished a pat
tern and will be taught how to use it
correctly.
Talks will be given on materials
and what kind is suitable for the
garments. The pupils will also be
taught how to beautify their hand
made creations with tucks, embroi-
derry and lace.-Chicago Tribune.

Mans Chief Peril.

The chief peril to which man is ex-
posed is that of proclamation of what
IS holy, from which he is shielded
ny shutting himself up in the circle
Of his senses, and restricting
.imself to the shadows of his
reason. Within that circle, and
in those shadows, he acquired
THAT he believes is wisdom, pur-
sues what he names ambitions,
,uffeR what he fancies are pa:ns and
sorrows, wreaks what he intends for
-evenses, commits what he calls sins,
ndulges what he mistakes for love,
md. in a word, lives what it is given
rim to imagine is human life. Yet
n all that span of existence there is
MT a handful of hours when he truly
v the life that is his own and not
, p~retense. an evasion, OF an error;
md those few hours appear to him
a at the instant OF their revela-
ion-as Authorizations. Nevertheless
hey are the porticos and pillars, halls
md gardens, sun and stars OF his
,eaven; which he pragmatically and
,%omplacently puts away from him.
md turns himself to what seems to
i'm his heaven, but is his hell.
Truly, this is a. pity and a loss.-

Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves OF
the body. Personal experience with
thousands prove the general statement
true, and physicians have records OF
great numbers of cases that add to the
testimony.
The following is from the Rockford,
ILL.,. Register-Gazette:
DR.. William Langhorst, of Aurora,
has been treating n of the queerest
cases Of lost eyesight eve in history.
The patient is O. A. Leach, of Beach
County, and in the last four months he
has doctored with all of the specialists
about the country, and has at last re-
turned home with the facr impressed
on his mind that his case is incurable-
A portion of the optic nerve has been
ruined, rendering his sight so limited
that he is unable to see anything be
fore him, but he can see plainly any
thing at the side Of him. There have

Proverbs of the Chinese.

The verbal wisdom of the Chinese
has become proyerbial, and, approp-
riately enough, it shows itself promin-
emily in their proverbs. Many of these
have already been translated into
English, but here are a few more,
from a new collection by Herr Bruno
Navarro, published in Heidelberg,
which may be welcome:
st is better not to be, than not to
be anything" Repentance is the
dawn of virtue" Man thinks he
knows everything, but woman knows
it better" Even the mandarin of
the first class has poor relations"
"The carver Of idols never worships
idols; he knows too well what they
are made Of" "a day of grief is
longer than a day of joy" And SO

twenty Years Old and Growing

When a man begins at the bottom
and works himself up, the business
world requires no bond of him.
Where his works are known his word
is seif-sufioient. So it is with q cor
| grafton. IT it grows stronger and
s ronger every year the people know
1t will do to trust. The Mississippi
Home Insurance Company did more
business last year than ever before,
and it starts ont this year with the
business of Janra.y away ahead of
that of last Janrary. The showing is
most crafty ng and encourages t. ose

home companies. AS it is going to-
ward the two million-dollar mark in
what it has paid out to home people,
all who hold its policies feel perfectly

been but few cases of its kind b.
fore, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either. but has been a great cof-
fee drinker. and the specialists have
decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that for
several years he had drank three cups
of coffee for breakfast. two at noon
and one at night. According to the
records of the specialists of this coun-
try this is the first case ever caused
by the use of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond all and
his case IS incurable. The fact that
makes the case a queer one is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has been retained. Accord
ing to the Doctors statement the young
man viii have TO give up coffee or the
rest Of his sight will follow and the
entire nerve be ruined.-Rcgister Ga

Peooed Boots in Canada.

There are few, if any, pegged boots
made in the factories of the Unite4
States, while fifty years ago the sew
ing machine was yet uninvented, and
nearly all shoes save the h~and-sewedI
we're hobnailed or pegged. In Canada
there are a few scattered factories
producing pegged boots for men and
Boys. Adam Pertsch, a Rochester pat
.ern maker, recently ran across one
IT. st. Johns, N. F.
Mr.. Pertsch was interested in the
7uaint manner in which the boots and
shoes are manufactured, the machin-
,ry in use being long out of date, as
compared with the present standard
n the United States. There are no
lp-to-date methods, and one might
EASILY indulge in stepping into this
'actory that the cycle of time had,
urned back forty or fifty years. The
oegged boots are high cut, such as
men wore generally before the war,
and find a ready sale in Newfoundland
and in Ca-~d- Shoe petailer.

RoadImaking in the philippines as
a. serious question, asserts the LOUIS
vile Courier-Journal. One has just
been finished In the Island OF Luzon
of less than a hundred miles In length
which is said to have cost $2,50O,00o
Some sections of it in mountainous re-
g:ons cost as high as $4,000 a mile.
If a common trafnc roadway come this
high in the Archipelago, how much a
railroad would cost? With labor sc
cheap it is difficult to see how or why
such work is SO expensive.
