COUNCIL Proceedings.

All the members were present at the
stated meeting Of Council on Tuesday eve
ing.
After the minutes had been readkand ap-
proved, the,election Of assistant Fire Chiefs
come up under unfinished business.
Mr. Cattell, before the motion put, said
that under the law we had no authority to
elect such officers now.
Mr.. Munyan said there was vacancy in
the First Ward, and be nominated Alfred
Matlack.
Mr.. Cattell asked what evidence he had
Of vacancy.
On motion Of Mr.. Reading the election
of these officers was laid over and the So
licitor's aid invoked to straighten out the
tangle.
The Clerk read communication from
the Solicitor as to the Jacob Mass bond; he
advised that If was not in proper form. AS
to the appointments Of Assistant Water
Superintendents the Solicitor ssvised they
could not be legally appointed By the
Water Committee Of Council. The opin-
ion was ordered received snd filed, and
then Mr.. Reading nominated John e. Ford
and Edgar Wheldon as assistants to the
Water Superintendent, at the same salary
as now paid, s65 and $50 per month.
Mr.. Cattell said that such action would
not be legal, as these officers salaries under
the law must be fixed by ordinance. He
then moved that the question be referred
to the Solicitor for his opinion. His con-
tention was that the Water Ordinance re-
quired that payments Of salaries must be
made by ordinance.

sistants were elected by a vote of s to 1,

or three, He asked that the Clerk read

taken, DR.. CLARK quoted figures to show
the saving to the people in greater amount

the fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad

SAN FRANClSCO'S HARBOR.
Perhaps the Most Notable "DOttIe"
IIarbOr In the World.

Perhaps the most notable bottle"
parbor in the world Is that at San
Francisco. Here Is vast reach Of
water fifty-tive miles long and in some
parts twelve in width. Into this bay
the tides of the Pacific flow through
the famous Golden Gate. This is a
strait about mile in width in its mar
rowcst part and very deep. The proud
talifOrniuuS look out over this serene
eXpanse and tell you that here is an
chorage for the combined navies of
the world, which indeed seems a very
mild statement of the ease. Aside
from the immensely of this harbor ia
cllity ii is interesting to notice that
Californ;a'S two big rivers after tray
ersing the great interior valley flow
into this bay. Thus nature has fur
nlSh@d two SerNiccuble water roads,
leading from Il most notable natural
harbor into the very heart Of a rich
farming, mining and numbering region
These rivers, the Sacramento and San
Joaquin, are of the same commercial
significance TO California that the Hud
son is to New York.
The harDor at San Francisco is the
more noteworthy because it is the only
one of first magnitude south of Puget
sound. Between these points Califor-
MIA presents to the orient an inhospi-
table cliff coast, only occasionally bro
ken by little beach or minor inlet.
Little coasting steamers make land
ingS, it Is true, at several points along
this grim front. but it is Il matter of
considerable hazard. In some places
along this coast great cranes fixed up
on the cliff hoist people and freight
ashor, in baskets. And the daring lit
tie skipper must even then keep one
eye to windward lest crashing storm
drive Ia upon him and forever termi-
nate his service on the sea. Thus 1t Is
that the two great harbors mentioned
must for all time share Il monopoly of
the Pacific ocean commerce. One ia
miliar with the Atlantic seaboard can
parallel the situation by plotting out H.
his minds eye all. the ports between
Savannah and Portland save only New
York and between these i'll place of the
numerous hoSpitable inlets substitute
scarcely broken sea cliff. He will then
have the conditions before him which
give to San Francisco its pre-eminence.

meant great things. If the dinner We're
delayed again there was danger that
the whole thing might fall through.
The only way to approach Prescott
was through Il dinner, and home din.
ncr at that. The IirescOtts had lived
in hotels all lhelr lives because they
were so seldom long in one place.
Their permanent quarters in the
fashionable hotel they regarded as
home, but they were more often in
London or Paris, or else up the Nile or
some other queer place, and 1t was a
saying that one argument after Il home
dinner was worth Il hundred in an
office where Sydney Prescott was con-
ccrncu.
1t seemed simple matter to Jack to
borrow waiter from the restaurant
where he lunchcd to take the place Of
the butler, who had left the day be-
fore, but the head waiter shook his
head. There We're three big banquets
that night. Every waiter In town had
been engaged weeks before.
Yet for all Of that quiet faced Eng
lishman presented himself at the Mar
tines that afternoon and went to work
with il quiet skill that made Mrs. Mar
tine almost want to hug him.
To Beth he seemed like Il godsend.
All day long she had been struggling
with the preparations for the dinner
with such awkward help as IL green
servant could give. When Peters came
into the kitchen and quietly took pos
session, it seemed as If the sun had
suddenly burst from behind the clouds.
The servant was set to work to
clean the silver, and he took charge of
everything, directing Beth with a quiet
rcSpectfuiness that inspired conf
dcnce.
Long before the guests arrived things
to his room to get ready for the even
ing. Beth sat out on the back Stoop to
cool her heated face aud breathe q
sigh OF relief that things seemed to
promise So well.

simple Cure For NcurnlGin.

Here is simple method Of curing
facial neuralgia: If the neuralgia is on
the right side of the face the left hand
should be placed in Il basin Of water
as hot as can be borne, or If neuralgia
is In the left side of the face then the
right hand should be placed in the hot
water 1t is asserted that in this way
relief may be obtained In less than
FIVE minutes. The explanation is that
the two nerves which have the great
est number of tactile nerve endings
are the fifth and the median nerve.
AS the fibers of these two nerves cross
any impulse conveyed to the left hand
will affect the right side Of the face
or If applied to the right hand will af-
feet the left side of the face. This Is
on account of the crossing of the cords.

PLANTS TO CLOSE.
l the Youngstown Telegram.

From the Youngstown Telegram.
 The Republic Iron and Steel company have decided upon some important re- pairs at the Bessemer, Brown Bonnell and the Valley plants in this city. Owing to that fact these three plants will close down the first of July and remain out of commission until the work is com pleted
 It has been officially announced that the Bessemer plant will be idle until July 10 or 12, and that the rolling mills will be running July 16. By the time the mills are started the Bessemer plant will have turned out an adequate, quan- tity of billets to keep them running for some time.
 A gentleman closely connected with the Republic company stated last night that every minute of the time the mills are closed down will be put in making some very important Improvements and repairs so that when the time of resumption arrives the plants will be In shape for a long run. The employees will take ad- vantage of the suspension by taking vaca- tion Many of them have already arranged for trips to different pleasure resorts throughout the country.

uNwRlTrEN LAW,
Based on Superstition, Orders Assas'
 slns' Weapons Destroyed.

From the London Standard
 For obvious reasons it was natural that the Spanish police should be anxious to secure the bomb which did not explode when thrown at the royal couple.
 There was reason behind the desire to nip in the bud chance of further damage. There is an unwritten law in the reignng houses of Europe that all relies of at tempts upon royal lives, as well as the instruments used for treating the wounds caused in such attempts, shall be de- stroyed. There was a solemn assembly in Geneva of Austro- Hungarian officials to witness the destruction of the instru- ments which caused the death of the Empress Elizabeth and of the surgical implements used in making the post mortem examination.
 The custom Is based to certain extent upon superstition, but more solidly upon the determination to prevent the relics from falling into the hands of exhibitors of such tragic trihes
 The custom in this matter once was to grind to pieces the weapon which had been employed When, however, the dag ger WdS SetuTtu WllH WHICH IIlt pTieSl Martin Merlno attempted to murder Queen Isabella of Spain rather more than half century ago, the blade was found to be of such finely tempered steel that it resisted every effort of file and stone.
 Something like 0 panic was caused when the news got abroad; the Spanish peas ants imagined that there must be magic In the Aa Ga to1 summoned to deal with the crisis, and 1t was determined to submit the steel to the influence of acids This proving suc- cessful, all implements used for the like foul purpose have undergone the like treatment-knives, swords, daggers, revol- vers and, presumably bombs.
 It was cruel irony that the bombs thrown at the young King and Queen of Spain should be hurled by a man secreted in the only house in Madrid owned by Queen Christiana. This. at first is sur prising. Napoleon III, in the terror which Orsini's attempt inspired, bid for safety by buying up the houses facing the Tul- thence by his enemies.
 It Is from places whose position should guarantee their safety that danger comes. Only miracle prevented Alexander II. from being blown to atoms in his own Winter Palace. The Grand Duke Sergius was assassnated outside the law courts of St. Petersburg; General Bobrikoff was slain when entering the Senate; M. Plehve was struck dead with his secret police all around him; the King and Queen of Servia perished in their own palace.
 A blow aimed by the would-be murderer upon such an occasion as Thursday Is aimed in spite of the most elaborate pre- cautions of the police of Europe. The de- tective forces of all the capitals of Europe are represented at this moment at Mad rid. Probably all the anarchist societies in Europe, too, are represented there

heat from, the body. Some of these functions are performed by water in it's liquid state, and others in state of vapor.
 The entire body is water to the ex- tent of S7 per cent. To say therefore th&t the drinking of water at meals Is harmful is to talk nonsense. The thin ner the food is the more easily it Is digested, and water Is the best of all agents in rendering food thin. No food can be digested until it has been made liquid by the gastric juices, and those juices contain 95 per cent of water. Dr. Flint advises all to drink water early and often-to drink 1t whenever they desire it, and sometimes when they do not, for water Is something the human system can handle with ease and dis patch.

Water at Mealtimn.

Dr. G. Elliott Flint, author of Power and Health Through Progressive Exer- cise," shows in the New York World that those physicians who say water should not be drunk at meals are crossing the practice of all animals, the desire of all babies. and the com mon sense of all individuals. pr. Flint says water should be drunk at and after meals and before retiring at night. A great deal of it is helpful.
 The purposes that water subserves in the human economy are thus sum
 med up by Dr. Flint: First, it softens and dissolves solid foods, thus facili
 tating their mastication and digestion second, it maintains a due bulk of blood and the structure of the body; third, it keeps substances in solution or suspension while moving in the body; fourth, it supplies elements in the body's chemical changes; fifth, it makes easy the elimination of waste material; sixth, it discharges super fluous heat by transportation through the skin and by emission through the outlets, and, seventh, 1t supplies in a convenient form heat to. or abstracts
