And whereas, under the provisions
of Sec. 20 of Act No. 6 of 1881, Extra
Session of the Legislature of this
State, municipal corporations are for
hidden to order public printing of
any kind" excepting job printing, un-
less the same be done under contract
to the lowest responsible bidder;
And whereas the bids called for
might be misunderstood,
Therefore be it resolved, that with
out opening any of the bids submitted
under said notice, they are hereby all
rejected and ordered returned to the
several bidders, and the mayor be and
is hereby instructed to publish for
bids to cover in the contract 'pubIic
printing of this municipality of every
and all kinds, except only job print
ing"
He then moved as a substitute,
seconded by DR.. Martin, that the
bids be rejected and new bids
be advertised for to cover all the
printing except for job work.
Upon request the city attorney
stated his opinion that the notice
for bids was given in accordance
with the law and covered all that
was specified in the law. Upon
a vote being taken the substitute
was lost and the bids ordered
opened, Messrs. Mouton and
Martin voting for the substitute
and against opening the bids.
The bids were as follows: The
Lafayette Gazette offered to
print the official proceedings for
500, The Lafayette Advertiser
for $50, and The Lafayette
Democrat offered to print the
Ohclal proceeding free Of
charge. The Democrat was
made the official journal.
The laying of the corner stone
of the new high school building
was discussed and the place of
putting the corner stone, whether
in the northeast corner or the
southwest corner. 1t was de-
cided to visit the building in a
body and see which would be
best. Adjournment to next
Wednesday was then taken and
the Council in a body went
around to the building, and after
talking the matter over, about
decided to put the stone in the
southwest corner, as that point
would be the most seen, as the
travel along Jefferson street was
much greater than on Main st.

TYPHOID AND OYSTERS.
Hvaiyes Acquitted AFTER an InvesdEati0n
nv n French Scientist.

NJ. Baylac. a French psychologist, has
inst reported on an exhaustive study OF
ovsters both from the ocean and inclosed
ssas undertaken to determine whether
there was any foundation for the idea that
the bivalves we're infected by the typhoio
and other poisonous germs and were the
means Of causing serious Illness in people
who eat them.
He concluded that the typhoid microbe
nv no means infected the oyster. In the
rare cases where the oyster absorbed tne
germ through pollution OF the oyster peos
il eliminated 1t again in a day or Two Wheh
transferred to pure sea water or when re-
moved from the water altogether.
Az to other ailments following the eat
;nq Of oysters NJ. Baylac soon reached the
conclusion that they belonged to the same
class as those resulting from tainted meat.
He then made a study Of the liquor e1uded
Inv ovsters under different conditions, satls-
fyine himself in the first place that its chem
,cal composition underwent no important
alteration. g,
II always contains albumen, ammoniacal
nslts. sllicates, chlorides and a few organic
compounds. Next he tried the effect oil
injecting small quantities OF 1t into the
~
veins Of rabbits. He found that with the
LIQUOR from fresh oysters he could inject
forty-four cubic centimetres before any
toxic disturbance was manifested.
With the juice Of oysters which had been
three days out Of the water and which had
been exposed TO the air at a temperature
OF rs degrees, distinct signs Of poisoning
were produced by the injection Of six cubic
oentimetres. Then he tried oysters which
had been kept two days at a temperature
Of 90 degrees and then freshened in river
water slightly sailed, A dose or four cubic
centimetres from the liquor Of these caused
poisoning,
NJ. Baylac forms two general conclusions;
First, the danger Of typhoid from oysters
is negligible unless they have been taken
recently from beds exposed to direct in
lection. Second, oysters are beautiful in
direct ratio to their freshness. The stomach
disorders they produce are not apt to be
serious but become more so in proportion
to the time that has elapsed since their
removal from their native water and the
lack Of care in preserving them.

DO WE GET IN OUR OWN RAYr
English Girl Says We DO by stopping 10
Look At THINGS,

An American who has been in England
seven years and has now returned to this
country finds that while we 90 through
the motions Of hustling we don't always
get along as fast as vi think we do.
An English girl in Chicago, he says in
the Bellmon. recently complained TO her
American friends that what troubled her
most in American cities was the way in
which people dawdled in the streets. She
found herself continually blocked and
unable TO get along al fast as she was ao-
customed to walk at home.
OF course. the American friends familiar
with witticisms about the slowness Of an
E~nglishman's movements thought she was
joking, whereas she was entirely and quite
intelligibly in earnest.
Americans in London seldom spend
much time in the city. or business, section.
They live and seek their pleasures in the
West End or uptown, where every one Ia
at leisure, and thereby they get an idea
that the Britisher is a vactly more leisurely
person than he is. II they lived for a while
in the atmosphere OF the city they, would
fnd il a good deal more like home.
1t is not to be doubted that the average
American moves his legs and arms faeter
than the average Briton. Perhaps the
individual gets over a gwen number OF
yards OF ground quicker, but ] earnestly
doubt whether the whole business COM

The eye habituated to the street scenes
OF large European cities Is less struck by
the rspIdity Of movement on a crowded
American street than by it's disorderliness
Like the hare in the fable, Americans have
an incurable habit when going at top speed
OF stopping TO look at things. Almost any
old thing will do.
The lack Of policing OF the wheeled tra flo
in American cities is, OF course, proverbial;
and the spirit Of chaos (what a sight for

MONEY IN APRICOT PITS.
Substitute for Almonds big Fronts In
Them for the BRieaFlc Islands.

A recent increase in the price Of almonds
has caused a new trade economy, and much
money lie being made in the Balelric Islands
In the Mediterranean of the coast Of Spain
by the sale OF the kernels Of apricots. There
is a huge demand for them in England and
Germany, where they are used as a substi-
tute for almonds in candy and in cheap
grades Of buildings n pastry.
The fruit is cultivated In the Bslesric
Islands on an enormous scale 10 be pre-
served In various styles. Until recently
the stones, when the pulp was removed from
them, we're treated as refuse. Now they
are cleaned and cracked. Children pick
out the kernels and they are dried and
packed for shipment after the regular pre-
serving season Is over, thus p-olonging the
wage earning period Of the people.
Last year Majorca alone produced 5000
cases OF apricot kernels. weighing about
200 pounds each case. There are both
bitter and sweet kernels. The price Of the
sWeet ones rose from about SIes case In 1900
to about t2I last year. The bitter ones are

the establishment of constitutional
government.
A Startling New Doctrine.
Even in England it has been only
within quite recent years that there
has been any real equality through
suffrage, and parliament largely super
sedes the people today. So 1t was
a startling new doctrine which was
enunciated In u great declaration,
that governments are created for the
benefit of the governed and derive
their just powers from the consent OF
the same. This was the most impor.
tan incident in human development
since the birth OF Christ, and followed
directly his teachings. The enuncia-
ton of this doctrine and the success
of our forefathers in maintaining II
are vastly more important than our
separation from Great Britain. The
influence of this act han been and is
felt over the world, and has benefici-
ally affected it in many ways, and this
is a sufficient reason why the
Fourth Of July should be celebrated,
since the act which evoked it ma,
justly be regarded as an act Of su-
preme Importance in human history.

THE WEAPON OF THE COURT.

Occasionally arises a man with suf'
ficient temerity to offend that divinity
which doth hedge a judge. In a recent
judicial campaign out west a newspa,
per strongly objected to the reelection
of one incumbent, for reasons deducted
from his official record. The editor
was promptly fined for contempt of
court and mulcted in SIT 500 damages
for injury to the ermined character.
In some districts the nominating of
an opposition candidate might not be
without peril as a constructive con,
tempt of court.
In Kansas the other day a man was
judged in contempt and sentenced to
three months Imprisonment for having
filed an affidavit that three judges were
in league against him. AS this was
only one month per judge, he got off
lightly. The clerk of the court, accord
ing to the press dispatches, was scor-
ed for having permitted the affidavit
to go on file, while the lawyer VINO
prepared it suffered a terrific arraign-
ment."
Many of US would find it agreeable,
no doubt, to exercise this irresponsible
power of taking summary vengeance
upon persons who make faces at us.
Not being judges, such power is denied
us. We shrug our shoulders and go
our ways, and, after the spasm of an.
ger is past, find that the grimace didn't
really hurt US.
P%unishments for contempt should be
strictly limited to persons who disobey
the orders or obstruct the processes Of
the court. When a Judge uses this
power to avenge a merely personal af-
front his act does not, in our opinion,
tend to increase respect for his office

1t is hardly likely that the japanese
will carry their contention owe the San
Francisco affairto the limit of war. The
affair. though a~ggravating in the ex'
IRENE, is too trifing to fight over. If
the United States ever goes to wal
with Japan, it will doubtless be over
the Philippines, which naturally should
belong to tie Japs. And if war does
come, it will be almost exclusively con.
fined to the high seas. Neither nation
could send IN army of sufficient
strength to the shores of the other to
that the conference at The Hague will
result in doing away with war.
