 morrow Night at White City.

One of the most artistic efforts in pyrotechnics will be the portract in fire of President Roosevelt at the White City, Friday night. during the sensational exhibit of old fashioned fireworks Manager Speck feels cer- tain that the people will be glad to witness an extravagant display of Roman candles geysers. volcanoes flower pots, floral sprays bombs. rockets, rainbows, pinwheels. twisters red fire, dervishers and many other things in this line.
 It will certainly be a rich treat for both old and young and some of the pieces will be of rare beauty. The idea of representing Roosevelt in Fire" comes from Boston where tt made a tremendous hit for over two weeks. The same people who planned 1t there will do the same here. The picture will be of huge dimensions and SO placed that everyone in the park may see 1t.
 one thing that will he especially beautiful will he the explosion If the myriad -colored bombs. These will he shot off so that the explosion takes place just over the lagoon where all the coors will be effectively mirrored, This notable exhibition should not be missed by anyone.

Total annual expense .s1oO, OO

The health commissioners, and par ticularly Dr James F Maher. presi- dent of the board. have been collect ing data from cities where incinerat- ing plants are used for the past year, and the amount asked for is declared the very lowest at which satisfactory plant can be had. A bond issue by the city Is suggested to cover the cost
 Another s10,0O0 is again asked for in the estimates for contagious dis ease hospital and a novel Item is the request for 1000 to furnish modi- fled, pasteurized milk to the children of the lndigent poor. The city's large infant death rate Is due mainly, it is thought, to poor and infected milk, the parents being unable to purchase a suitable grade. The issuing of a purified supply in such cases would greatly reduce infant fatality, argue the health officials
 A raise of $500 in the salary is again asked for by Health Officer Wright, and increases of $100 each for the sanitary inspectors.
