MISS JOSIE PRICE IMPROVING

The health Of Miss Josie Price, the
we'll known musician and instructor
in the Verdi Conservatory, has been
very poor for the past six or eight
months, so much so that she was forced
to suspend the Verdi Chorus, much to,
the regret of the admirers of this or
ganization. 1t Is learned that within
the past two or three weeks her
health has so rapidly improved until
she has fully decided to begin her
chorus work. 1t is stated positively
that Monday night a revival of this
work will begin at the Verdi music
rooms, corner Eighth avenue North,
and Gay street. )

street Paving Going On.

The city is now at work paving the
eastern part Of Furbee avenue and
this will be a nice improvement to the
city. 1t has been the policy Of the
city for several years to make some
permanent Improvements every year
and in this way our city has been
much improved and beautifIed. Dur
ing the last year sprinkler and
sweeper were purchased and they
have done much to make the city more
clearly. They have not been used
much recently as the heavy rains
have kept the streets clean in most
places. The Improvements at the east
ern end of Main street have not yet
been finishd as there is some trouble
as to the ownership of part of the
street. 1t is to be hoped that this
matter will be adjusted and the road
and bridge opened before winter as
it is almost a necessity in the winter
time.

AUTOMATIC BLOCK SIGNALS.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion after considerable delay has ap'
pointed a commission to look into the
working of automatic block signals as
authorized by the last congress. This
is a subject in which the public of the
country is deeply interested. Most of
us do not ship freight and have only
an academic interest in rebates and
the like, but everyone in the course
of the year rides on the railroads, and
everyone is interested in seeing that
he is not mashed to a pulp, no matter
what happens to a few thousand Of his
fellow travellers. The automatic block
may not have been brought to full per-
lection yet, There Is always room for
improvement in mechanical devices,
but there are already enough inven.
lions OF this sort for the railroads to
be able to pick out and install some
thing that would materially lessen the
dangers OF railway travel. 1t probably
will take the best part of year for
the new commission to decide on
something in the way of an automatic
signal to recommend, but that some
thing in this line must be done is be-
yond discussion. One can only hope
that the experts will be as quick on
the job as is consistent with proper
consideration of such an important
subject.
