He explained how the Justices cook things up among themselves and hinted that there is great danger of justice being strangled by such meth- ods. It was finally decided to refer the bill to the Bar association to con fer with the city attorney and frame such a measure as they think will meet the case.
 A communication was received from the board of education asking that the city attorney be directed to appear before the general assembly and oppose the bill asking that the appointment of a truant officer be transferred from the board of educa- ton to the department of safety. Mir Larkin was very much in favor of the position taken by the board of education and stated that there was no more sense in having the safety board appoint the truant officer than there would be in having them select janitors and teachers. He moved that the recommendation be adopt ed. Senator Hurley said that the object of the measure was to fix things so that the truant officer may appear in uniform. and reminded Mir Larkin that when the alderman from the second was a member of the board of education they hired a su- pernumary officer to act as truant off, cer. NIT Larkin admitted this, but claimed that the board of education appointed him and got permission from the safety board to have him wear his uniform Aldermen Noonan and Nell said they wanted to go on record as favoring leaving the ap- pointment of a truant ofscer as it is The motion to instruct the city at- torney to oppose it vas finally put and carried unanimously
 The charter amendment relative to the fremen was passed with tvo slight amendments. one providing that a member disabled while on duts shall receive full pay for six month";. instead of indefinitely, as provided !,

the original, and that a member who has served twenty-five years may re- tire on half pay when he reaches the age of 55, instead of 50, as provided In the original draft. The amend ments were carried after sharp fight between Mir Larkin and Mir Spain, the latter wanting the original draft and the former insisting upon the amendments. Things were getting to look like a deadlock when Mir Sher- wood strengthened out the tangle by suggesting that the time limit for full pay on account of disability be fixed at six months.
 Edward Sweiger was appointed a special constable to do duty on the property of the women's Friendly league. A committee consisting of Alderman Spain was appointed to make another try for a fifteen foot strip of land on Scovill street. di- rectly east of the engine house.

A NATION ONCE AGAIN.

When boyhood's fire was in my blood, read of ancient freemen, For Greece and Rome who bravely stood, Three hundred men and three men. And then prayed yet might see Our letters rent in twain, And Ireland, long province, be A nation once again.
 H. ...,..., ..-.. ...-t And from that time. through widest woe, That hope has shown, a far light; ,... Nor could loves brightest summer glow Outshine that solemn starlight; ...... It seemed to watch above my head In forum, field, and fane; Its angel voice sang round my bed, "A nation once again"
 III. It whispered, too, that freedoms ark And service high and holy, ,-. Would be profaned by feelings dark And passions vain or lowly; For freedom comes from Gods right hand, And needs godly train; -' '-'' And righteous men must make our land A nation once again" ...... =. :.
 W. So. as grew from boy to man, bent me to that bidding My spirit of each selfish plan And cruel passion ridding; For, thus hoped some day to aid Oh, can such hope be vain?- .4. When my dear country shall be made A nation once again.

LEWIS HIT BY BICYCLE

Bessemer, November 1s.-tSpecial.)--l payday at Woodward furnace today "a' onite large one. There was soineth'hs like seo.GyJ turned loose and 1t was not In scrip either. The men were paid or III gold and the result is there ls sooe deal of ready money in this city tHis evening. Trade for the past several uaSs has been rather quiet, but the inerchah's state that they believe that the day sales will show up in good style The fact that the Woodward furnace paid OH in the real hard cash is good omen TOT the future It was announced several days ago that the men at the furnace would be paid off in scrip and while thal can be used just the same as the cash money, still there was certain amount of disappointment felt when the report became circulated. However, 1t was proven today that there was nothing to the report and each and every man received his months pay in gold. There is a good deal of business done in this city by the men that are employed at Woodward and as q result of the good pay business has taken on quite good spurt.
 The general run of business for the past week has naturally been little off, due to the fact that conditions are so very uncertain, still the merchants and the people seem to have confidence in the ultimate result, and 1t is not thought that next week will show any material change in the amount of business done.
 Both the banks report good business today, and while they state that yes terday was d very quiet one, it is claimed that Friday is generally an off day in all lines of business.

When Tennyson Was Rebuked.

A writer in the current Harper's Week ly brings to light an interesting anec- dote of Tennyson which we'll illustrates the singular habits of the great lau- reate in his intercourse with his friends. The poet was not only brusque and rough but he was edomineering and ex- acting, and most other mep were afraid of him. But an American schoolmaster who for many years maintained great intimacy with him had no fear in his heart, and sat and smoked on an equal ity with the sovereign singer by the Farringford fireslde.
 ''One evening"" says the writer. when the two were thus together, Tennyson said that he would depart from his GUS tom and narrate personal experience hui he had suffered a good ceal from repetitions of his tales by those to whom
