 Members of the council, remember ing the state of the treasury, gasped. What does 1t mean? Has he gone mad? What is 1t all about-read it again, were the exclamations.
 Clerk Doherty explained that there had been an agreement between the city and Mir Clayson whereby a shed out by the shops owned by Clay son should be used to house the hose cart, for one year from the 14th of March, 1904, consideration, sI-the cart to be returned to Its former home at the expiration of the year.

Is No Sign the Plum Will Fall

That thare Is many a slip between

Colonel Carson is a leader amcng the
colored politicians OF the city and who
for years has occupied various posi-
tions under the District government.
His salary as a janitor was reduced
to $500 one year ago. which fact aroused
some peevishness in the mind OF the
colonel, but not 20 such an extent as
TO cause his resignation from tie sex
vice
In the last District appropriation set
no provision was made Tor a janitor at
the new building. but the failure OF
Congress in this regard vas not regard
ed by the colonel as a cause for uneaei-
ness. he aspired. IL Is said. to the posi-
ton Of chief Waterman Although the
Commissioners requested an appropria-
