Hustace said that Brown had
worked subject to the approval OF
the Board. The Board had not APP

Archer said that Cathcart had had

Hustace answered that previous to
Browns appointment Cathcart had
done the prosecuting himself for
thirteen days. He explained that
the Board had the upper hand at
present; II should not take any ac-
ton which would spoil its hand.
The items then passed-minus
that of Brown.

estimate for the County Attorneys

the deduction of the $175 item for

Hustace.
The matter was finally ended by
passing the estimates as corrected.

You have gone far enough, you

Hustace. He went on to explain the
Jules of the Board and then went on:
IF you will strike off Mr.. Browns
name and initial the item, we will
pass the rest of the salaries"
Cathcart explained that the item
included the pay of other employees
of his office besides Brown. lie

Hustace interrupted but Cathcart
went on.

Cathcart.

Cox said that he wanted Brown

Hustace explained that he could
rot be entitled to pay as he had not
been legally appointed.
Cathcart said all he wanted to
know was whether the Board would

Hustace said that new pay roll

Hustace said that a payroll could

Cathcart said he wanted at least
to have the balance of his employees,
who were included In the item, paid.
After few minutes letter was
read from Cathcart asking that the
Board give Brown salary.
"A motion to table this matter is
In order" said Hustace.

be unsatisfactory at best"

THE trouble is that the Board

Had n Sore Throat and Dentist
Wanted 10 Pull Tooth.
When Mdile. Arta, the dramatic So
pranO of the Manhattan Opera House,
first went to Paris to study music she
could not speak French, says the Bohe-
milan. One day, being troubled by a
throat affection, she complained to her
teacher. who advised her to see a spe-
clallst, giving her name and ad-
dress.
The specialist had his Office In a
large building where were many other
doctors and dentists. Unable to read
the French signs upon the doors, Mdlle.
Arta sought simply for the name of
the physician, whose card she held in
her hand. At last she found 1.-THE
name. She was received by gentle
man who bore all the ear marks of
the medical fraternity and at once she
felt reassured.
Pointing to her throat she tried to
indicate what the trouble was. With q
knowing nod, the doctor, who seemed
very quick to grasp the situation, es-
corted her to chair, and incllning the
chair to an acute angle he left the
room. Presently he returned. gently
urged her mouth open as If to gain
good view Of her throat and began a
critical examination. The next thing
Mdlle. Arta realized was that a pair
of forceps was being brandlshed dan
gerously near her mouth.
She tried to explain, realizing sud-
denly that she was In the hands of a
dentist, but he held her firmly in the
manner of one believing that the soOn-
er an operation Is over the better, and
\ that explanations are much more sat

She struggled up from his grasp as
well as she could, he trying to tell her
that he would be very gentle and that
he would not hurt, she endeavoring to

GOOD FURNITURE CHEAP.
New Movement in Europe for I'm
proving Dwellings of the Poor.

New Movement in Europe for Inn
proving Dwellings of the Poor.
The movement for improving the
dwellings of the poor has reached a
secondary stage In Europe In taking
up the question Of tasteful furnishings,
says the New York Sun. OF what use
is 1t to give family sanitary house,
the leaders ask, If you do not help
to make 1t attractive to live in.
To further this object several exhl-
billions Of cheap but durable and at
tractive furniture have been held. The
purpose Is double one. First, the in
terest Of the manufacturers Is to be
stimulated by the offer of prizes and
diplomas for the best outfits offered at
! certain standard prices to suit the
needs Of various classes from small
shopkeepers down to laborers.
The second aim Is to get the people
themselves interested. 1t Is hoped that
by visiting the exhibitions their am
billions will be excited and they will
be brought to realize that their homes
can be made attractive within the
limit Of their means.
The first exhibition was held at
Dusseldorf. The second was at Liege.
Both were successful, considering the
size Of the places.
Then Paris took up the idea and the
departmental committee on cheap habi-
tations was placed in charge. The cir
culars to manufacturers Invited them
to send in complete outfits for small
apartments combining comfort, solldity,
beauty and economy. Above all, 1t was
enjoined that all vulgar pretense and
false luxury should be eliminated from
the designs.
The exhibition was opened In Feb
ruary. There were several hundred
exhibits Of all classes and more than
10000 persons visited 1t. 1t closed at
the end of March and fourteen prizes
were awarded by jury composed Of
senator's, artists, manufacturers and an
official of the department of labor.
Now the subject has been taken up
by the Society of Popular Art and a
preliminary report has been prepared
looking to the cooperation Of archi-
tects, hygienlsts and social economists
in supervising the plans for all cheap
dwellings hereafter to be erected in the
capital and also to forward the cause
Of aesthetic furnishing by lectures,
tracts and more exhibitions.

SOME ARE so SENSITIVE.
The First Tall Man Couldn't See the
 Joke and Left.

tall, thin man, dressed in light gray suit, entered the hotel restau. rant and took an unoccupied chair at . table near the door. He hardly had gotten seated comfortably before an. other man. even taller and thinner than the first one, entered and took seat at the same table. And, to make the situation more remarkable, the taller man wore gray suit of ex. actly the same shade and cut as the other.
 The shorter man never raised his eyes from the bill of fare, and seemed quite oblivious of his companions $ presence. The latter looked curiously at the first conner fer few moments, and then. with an apparent desire te be sociable, said:
 This must be the thin mans table. Y
 The shorter man straightsned al with q jerk. gave the very. tall man . look of the grsatest indignation, and exclaimed in burst of anger:
 Well, you may have It."
 With that he hastily rose and took q seat at the furtherst end of the room. The very tall man winkeA at the waiter, and the iAeidsat was closed.
