ting to be done, was the stand assumed
by the board at its regular meeting yes

voted 20 routine business. but the ac-
ton mentioned above. together with

The Commissioners had eliminated IN

been cut 5000; attorneys fees Of $1,2OO

buildings had also gone out, and to
finish up the job OOOO had been whack-
ed of the amount asked for for the
Central High School gymnasium and

DESIGNING A HEAD.
An Interesting TOnsOrial Opern tfnE
by the Famous Whistler.

'Amazing.' the fayorite ejaculation
Of the brilliant and eccentric artist.
James MacNeill Whistler, is the word
which seems best to fit the curious
combination Of personal peculiarities-
mischievous wit. tricksY jests. gay
uuarrels, harmless vanities and remark.

matched by those of his appearance,
for he never dressed like anybody else.

single lock of white hair amid a mass
of black Gurls His own interest in
his appearance was great, for he re-
gardel the composition Of costume and
coiffure with the same seriousness
which he would have bestowed upon
the composition of picture, and liz
deed the result was Enthusiastically pic

shook and trembled as he manipulated
the scissors. The clipping completed,
Whistler waved the operators imperi-
ously on one side, and we observed for
some time the rear view Of his Gapper
little figure, stepping backward and
forward, surveying himself in the
glass. Suddenly he put his head into
basin of water, and then. half drying
his hair, shook it into matted wet curls.
With a comb he carefully picked out
the white lock, wrapped it in 9 towel

hair hanging over his face-a stage
which much amused the onlookers.
'Still pinching the towel, he would
then beat the rest of his hair into ring

them the right quality until they fell
into decorative waves all over his head.
A loud scream would then rend the
air Whistler wanted comb. This
procured, he would comb the white lock
into a feathery plume and with a few
broad movements of his hand form the
whole into a picture. Then he would
look beamingly at himself in the glass

Parrot Pie.

Parrot pie is one Of the delicacies
over which visitors to Australia rave.
As the fruit season opens the parrots
and parrakeets come by thousands, like
tocusts, and, settling on the trees, feed
upon the fruit until nothing but the
stones is left behind. They are shot
while gorging themselves. The flesh.
though very dark, is said to be deli
cious in flavor and almost to taste Of
the cherries, peaches and plums on
which the birds have fed. They are
said to be more succulent than pigeons
and altogether superior to the palate.

VILLAGE FOR CLERGY.
Endowed Cottages Planned at Epis-
cOpaI Cathedral In Washin gtOn.

Endowed Cottages Planned at Epis-
cOpaI Cathedral In Washin gtOn.
A movement for the establishment of
a clerical village by the building of en-
dowed cottages for aged and infrm
clergymen of the Episcopal church at
the National Cathedral of Saint Peter
and ST. Paul in Washington has been
urged and has received the approval of
Bishop Satterlee, president of the ma
.ional cathedral foundation, says the
Washington Post. The Rev. Alfred J.
p. Mcclure is the originator of the
plan, for which he has enlisted strong
support The erection of the cottages
will be begun as soon as the necessary
make the movement national in its
scope.
The site for the cottages will be the
commanding plots of ground on the
east and west sides OF the cathedral
close, 400 feet above Pennsylvania ave.
nue. Each cottage will cost $4,000 and
will be built in Gothic style, in har-
mony with cathedral architecture. Cen
trail heating and kitchen arrangements
around a quad will be connected
with the cottages by cloisters. Under
this plan $4,000 subscribed by private
individuals or churches will provide
home for beloved rector as long as he
lives, Ind then when he is gone afford a
home if necessary for those who serve
at his post after him. For long time
the problem of retiring aged clergy has
been a veXatious one in the American
Episcopal church, and this new plan
promises satisfactory solution.
It is considered a fitting reward to
bring these aged clergymen to Wash
ington, housing them in comfortable
cottages connected with the cathedral
by private gateways, making it posi-
BILE for them to attend and participate
in daily services and to teach in the
schools or minister in the hospitals Of
the cathedral close, while at the same
time the literary and public life Of the
capital will be open to them.
Committees soon will be formed in
the principal dioceses to take up the
work of interesting the church at large
in the movement for the relief of aged
men who have given laudabie service
10 the church.

ACTION
Miners Refuse to Recedc
From Previous Posi-
ton Taken

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 2S.-It is the
spirit OF the miners union that the
watchmen on the mines be members
of the Western Federation of Miners
and the gauntlet has been thrcwn
down to the Goldield Consolidated
There was meeting last night,
and what was done was not given
out to the pubic, further than the
stand taken by the meeting on Friday
was practically indorsed This was
the regular meeting Of the miners
union, and it was known that the
matter OF the watchmen was bound
to come up. The miners were be-
hind closed doors until after / o'clock
this morning, and then all the inform
atiCn that was volunteered to the
newspapermen was that it was up to
the operators to act.
When the proposition was submit
tel to Senator Nixon on Friday the
proposition which said that every
man working about the mines, with
the exception OF the superintendent
and the mine manager, should be un.
der the Jurisdiction Of the Western
Federation of Miners, Nixon gave his
answer. He said that it was impos
sible to conform to the scheme. The
answer really is that the Consolidated

manded an immediate answer, got it
and it is a mere subterfuge to sa1
that they are waiting for the oper
