Fairley, district execu- tive committeeman of the United Mine Workers of America, were appointed as an advisory board.

 The design for the monument was pre- pared by Signor G. Moretti, the well known sculptor and artist, and to him was awarded the contract for the work.
 The monument consists of a marble ped estal, on which stands statute of the beloved pastor. At present it is shrouded in veil and hidden from public view unt'l at the appointed time the two young girls who have been selected for the purpose will pull the cords and reveal the beauty of the artists work.

CLEAN YOUR WALKS.
Man Had an Interesting Talk With
 Supt Beach To-day.

Have you cleaned your sidewalk yet? If not you had better attend to 1t right away, else an officer may hand you 2 notice to step into the police station and settle. A man called upon Superintendent Beach this morning and after paying $2 to settle sidewalk case he became elo- quent and declared that the trouble was due to his nationality rather than to any defect in his sidewalk. He knew he was gathered in because he is a Hebrew. Mir Beach listened for long time and then finally took down a book from his desk and after looking over q long list of names he assured the stranger that he was the first Hebrew to be brought in for a case of that kind during the present winter. You shouldn't talk like that" continued Mir Beach, because 1t is an injustice to some officer that simply did his duty. I see the name of L. R. Carter, Patrick Murphy, Frederick Scott and so on here. They are not Hebrews, but they neglected to clean their walks and the officers reported them and they came in and settled" This knocked the bottom out of the mans case, but like Gold smiths schoolmaster, even though vanquished he could argue stilr' and kept it up until the superintendent informed him that he needn't pay If he didn't want to, adding that he could go to court. No he didn't want to go to court. but he did feel that he should not be prosecuted be- cause he was Jew. Clean your walks and then the officers will not have anything to report.

 Wednesday morning when Benar- dotti awoke and looked through his clothes for his money he found that $35 of it was gone. He immediately accused his roommate whom he says admitted he took it and who wanted to return $15, saying that he would pay back the remainder later. But Bernardotti thought that it was too much of good thing and had war rant made out for Masobbas arrest.
