TEDDY HER GOOD ANGEL.

Woman Wills President Her EarthIy
Possessions, Including the Cat.
President Roosevelt is the sole ben
eficiary under the will of one Lula
B. Grover, which was filed in the cf'
fee of the surrogate at New York Oh
Monday. No petition was filed with
the will and the value of President
Roosevelt's bequests are, therefore,
unknown. The main parts of the will,
which are very brief, read as follows:
Il give to Theodore Roosevelt at
my death everything that is mine;
household furniture, personal proper
ty, jewelry, diamonds, estate, all mon
ey in bank to my credit, and my cat.
Snow Drop Low, and everything that
is mine. I owe to Theodore Roosevelt
a debt greater than / can ever pay
in this world and in this way I wish
to show l am not ungrateful. He has
been my good angel who spread his
wings of shelter over my peace
through life and was my only true
friend in trouble I gladly give my
little all to him and only wish #
were millions instead Of so small an
amount. I hope he will accept it IN
the spirit l give it and with Gods
blessing"
1t has been announced that Pres!-
dent Roosevelt will accept the estate
beuueathed to him and turn it over
to some New York charity. The cat
is now being cared for under direc'
tions issued by the president.

"AMENS" WORTHLESS.
Not Worth a D-n Unless Something
is Done to Make Them Effec-
tive, Says Editor Stead.

William T. Stead, the English edi-
tor, in an address before the New
York conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in New York city.
Monday, pleaded for the assistance oE
American Methodists in the move
ment for international peace, which
is to be considered at the next Hague
conference.
Are you American churchmen -
you members of the church Of Jesus
Christ in America-willing to take ac-
ton to secure the enactment of this
law as an international statute,' he
asked, land say that there shall lie
a moments pause before the dogs
of war are unleashed?"
Amen, Amen" came in choru:;
from all over the church.
Amen; oh, nobody cares damn
for amen, unless it leads you to d.;
something to put into effect your
prayers the speaker responded.
He declared that in his visits to
various parts of the world, he has
found no one who thought the Chris
tian church was force, in the world
today. He said:
You speak to the great men OF
Europe, and ask their opinion Of its
power and they shrug their shoul-
ders, and tell you that the Chris
tian church has been allowed to 80
to the devil. Is the church of Christ
going to do anything to help in the
secular work of the nations-the Sec
ular> uplifting of the world? You
Methodists are at least the second
church in this American country: If
you should decide to put your forces
to work to the task that is before us
we might have great results from this
ulSSIlLS. We udu q iACClIllS cI ASSuo
before l came over here to consider
this, and the Free church announced
that it was ready to act under the
direction of the archbishop of Can
terbury in the matter, and when I
left they We're considering whether
it would not be better for the Church
of England and the Roman Catholic
church to unite in joint action. l
do not know whether you do this
here, but are you willing to act to-
gether?"
AS the speaker sat down there
were loud cries of Yes. yes! yes.'
from all over the auditorium.
A committee Of three to draft suit
able resolutions was appointed BY
Bishop Berry.

A Backwards Road,

And dolls used to kiss.

And. when creep into my bed, ,

And change the naughty things I've done
Pick up my playthings one by one,
And hear the baby talk

conclusively that the popularity Of this
institution is steadily increasing. The
number of patrons for the year end

Two new hose carts and $500 feet OF
hose were added to the equipment at
a cost of $1,75O. A noninterfering

and will be Installed by october 'oi

an important one, and will waterway

work during the past year. The off,
GERS have faithfully performed their
duties, and no serious crimes were
committed. All vlolators of the law
were speedily apprehended and sum-
marily punished. The city, during the
past year, has been exceptionally free
from the professional hobo" since
our police instituted the changing
system. This department is gradually
improving it's record system and will
compare favorably with any like de-
partment in cities of many times the
population of Lewiston.
This department has also in charge
the impounding of all stray stock and
the collection of dog licenses. The re-
ceipts for the past year are $1,000 in
cash and $341 in labor performed upon
the streets by prisoners. The expenses
for the past year fare. approximately

Legal Department.

The work of the legal department
of the city during the last year has
been the heaviest and most important
of any year in the city's history. The
drafting of the new charter and the
work on Improvement districts, the
framing of new plans for the primary
and city elections, the drafting of
forms, the work incident to changing
the scheme of government have great
ly increased the scope and work of the
legal department
The cost of the department erclu-
sive of the stenographic expense, has
been $1,466.32. The stenographic
cost being principally for stenographic
work in connection with the several
improvement districts, which is prop
erly chargeable to the several districts,
has been s664.s8. These items include
all court costs and other expenses In
cident to the legal department.
The receipts for the year have been
$23S18 During the time that the city
has been represented by its present
attorney the total disbursements of
that department have been $5,177.Os,
and the total receipts $6,245.16. These
receipts were realized from assets
which, in many instances, the city did
not know it possessed, or considered
worthless.

Engineering Department.

This department Is rapidly becom-
ing one of the most important. With
the sewer system now under con-
struction and the contemplated street
improvements soon to be under way,
it can readily be seen that much de-
ponds on this branch.
In the past year surveys and esti-
mates were made of the proposed Nor
NAL hill street improvements and East
end street improvements, District
No. 2.
Another important matter taken up
and about completed is the renum-
bering of the entire city, in accord
ance with the Philadelphia, or deci-
NAL, system. This will obviate much
confusion, and is a great improve
ment.
The council estimated $4,000 for ex-
| penses of this department for the past
year, but only $215S.10 was expended
and approximately $3.50 should be
charged to the sewed now under con-
struction and the contemplated paw
| ing of the business section.
! l recommend that at the earlies
possible date a map be made of tht
city, on a large scale, showing the ex
act location of every water, sewer anC
gas pipe, telephone conduit also al
caps and shutoffs of our water system
Such records as we now have of tn
systems are entirely inadequate an

Street Department.

The work of this department during
the past year has consisted mainly in
keeping in repair the streets and side
walks. So new improvements of any
Importance were made.
The East end street Improvement,
No. and the Normal hill street i'm
provement were contemplated, but ac-
tual work was not begun.
Along this line the progressive spir-
it of our citizens has further shown
itself by the good work of citizens
committee, which secured the sigma
lures of fully 80 per cent of the tax
payers on Main street from the bridge
east to the gas works; on B street,
Second, First, Fourth and Fifth streets
in the business section, in favor OF
! some permanent paving.
| The unanimity with which the prop
erty owners of this section responded
4 is a guarantee of it's early success.
recommend that all of these contem-
plated street improvements be pushed
along as speedily as work of such
magnitude and importance will per-
nit.

virtues were so many and his
