CUTTING OUT FoRE,rEN.
Report That Foley Will Reduce Num-
 Der in. Department,

The resignation of Foreman Isaac Hartenstein from his position in the street department on Saturday, Is said to be the first step in the retrenchment and reform policy which Mayor Mar tin and Director of Public Works Foley are said to have in mind. It Is a policy whose purpose is to run the city at as small an expenditure of money as IS possible.
 Immediately after Mir. Hartens.eins s resignation had been accepted, Direc- tor of Public Works Foley stated that there would be no one appointed in his place and that, further the number of foremen now in the city's employ would be cut in half as others are entirely un- necessary.
 Concerning bis plan of cutting down the number Of foremen from twelve u six, Mir, Foley is reported as saying:
 Hereafter the work will be dstrlct- cd and the foremen required to attend to that district. In the place of MT. Hartenstein. who was over the men who clean the permanent payments in the city, there is absolutely no need for q successor. Every merchant and c.ti- zen is the boss of those fellows and they know 1t, II doesn't require fore man to see that they do their work myself will keep an eye about the center and the work will be done just as well. The saving on the salaries will be about si,o0O and this money can and should be turned into keeping the streets in better order. It will Je my aim to see that the work is done as it should be. I intend further to cut off every unnecessary item and think al- ready that there will be quite q few"

THREE NEW DEPUTIES.
Some Struggles to Be McPart,anG' 5
 Assistant,

With the appointment of John G. Mcfarland as deputy registrar and consequently general registrar. vice Francis w. Foley. resigned, comes q hot scrap in at least three of the ff- teen wards. as 10 who shall be deputy registrars in those districts
 MT Mcfarland was appointed deputy registrar under Registrar Fo- ley when Owen Groark, for years Foley's deputy, resigned Mir. Groark resigned because he could not attend to the duties of general registrar that would fall upon him in the event of MT, Foley's resignation when he was appointed director of public works. MT Foley and on the latters resigna- ton was general registrar.
 This state of affairs has caused considerable dlssension In the Elev- enth ward, Registrar Foley's own ward, there is deputy to be appoint cd It is expected that Alderman Richard R Maaly will get the job and in that ward there Is little trouble
 In the Seventh however. there Is some sort of fracas to see who will succeed William Cronn, who has been appointed superintendent of streets. and necessarily must resign 
 the registrarship Already there are about six candidates for the iob and MT Mcfarland will have his hands full to make a selection.
 Like dissension prevails in the Ninth, where Michael Moran, the democratic nominee for assistant city clerk, is the registrar For his place Druggist Colgan and William Cahill are out for the job and MT. Cahill is likely to get 1t

 I. Jan. 17-Mars as seen from the Andes. Professor David Todd
 II. Jan. 24-Northern Mexico, it's Deserts. Platesux and Canyons Dr Edmund Otis Hovey
 III. Jan 31-Nature Study in rela- ton to protecting and propagating Am erican Game Birds Prof. Clifton F. Hodge

 VIII. March 6--Rsre Earth Indus tries Harlan S Miner.
 K. March 13--Silk. Natural and Ar tificial. Prof Charles F. Chandler.
 x. March 2O-History and Habits of the Fur Seal. Frederic A Lucas
 The course this year promises to be one of great interest. The lecture by Prof. David Todd. of Amherst college, will contain many interesting data, based upon his recent observations made in the trip to the Andes, from which he has recently returned. The discussions now prevalent concerning possible life or Mars, as presented by Professors Lowell and Morse, makes any added observations of interest.
 The second lecture by pr Edmund Otis Hovey, of the American Museum of Natural History, New York. will al- SO be of interest from his personal op- servations and studies of the country described.
 To nature lovers the third lecture by Prof. Clifton F. Hodge, of Clark Uni- versity, will especially appeal Profes- sor Hodge has made long study oi American game birds, and his illus trations, reinforced by his accumula- ton of facts, will undoubtedly com bine to make very attractive lecture
 The lecture by Prof Charles F Chandler of Columbia University vii also be especially attractive, in view o' the well-known reputation of Professor Chandler as a popular lecturer. Hi: lecture given some two or three year; ago. on the chemical products manu' factured at Niagara. proved intensely interesting to all who heard 1t. and th' present lecture will undoubtedly b' equally interesting.
 Frederic A Lucas, curator-ln-chiel of tine Museum of the Brooklyn insti. ute, Is especially competent to speai on the history and habits of the ful

seal, and his lecture will doubtless also prove attractive.
 Recent advances in knowledge of radio-activity and of the metals con- nected herewith promises to be treat ed of in an interesting fashion by Har- Ian $. Miner, who is chemist at the laboratories of the Welsbach Ligh, company at Gloucester City, N l MT. Miner is very competent chemist who has for years worked on these prob lems, and his lecture, with the copious illustrations he proposes to bring. will likewise prove interesting
 In fact, all of the lectures in the course promise instruction and enter tainment. Dr. William Lord Smith, of Boston. is a well-known Eastern trav eler; Frank w Skinner is a noted clvn engineer, whose work makes him com petent to pass judgment upon ques- tions relating to bridge construction; while pr Charles B Davenport is the director of the biological laboratory 3, Cold Spring Harbor, conducted by the Carnegie institution.

 Some attention will also be paid to the confectionery stores.
FEED CAN EXPLODE.
Slight Fire at Railroad Roundhouse
 Results.

slight explosion occurred at the railroad round house late yesterday afternoon, when the feed can of the gasoline engine which operates the turntable blew up. Luckily there was no one nearby at the time. so no one was hurt. The hot oil set flreto the walls of the little shed in which the en- zine is located. and No. 1fs fire engine was called on a still alarm. The ire was quickly extinguished. and the to- tai damage will not amount to much over twenty-five dollars.
 It is believed that the oil tank was ignited by a spark from a small fire that some of the railroad men had built just outside the open door of the shed in order to keep warm

Smoked Dynamite.

Doe" Ratcliff, the popular street su- perintendent, had an experience this morning that he will hardly care 10 duplicate. He started to smoke tobacco in his pipe and instead of that he lighted dynamite cap.
 He has been doing some blasting on one of the sand hills outside of the city and he had a number of these caps in his pocket.
 He smokes the old original Dukes Mixture" In his pipe, but he is such a busy man he never keeps the sack in his pocket. He buys five packages every day, and he reminds one of the "one-time prosperous Bessemer furnace" when he lights up.
 He purchased his usual daily supply this morning at an early hour at Ed mundsons and proceeded to dump it in his coat pocket. The clerk remarked to him at the time that it was an awful lot of tobacco to be allowed to lie around loose, but Doc remarked he was a man with a business proposition. and he had no time to waste.
 He lost sight of the fact that he also had the caps in his pocket. He dragged out a handful of stuff and put it in the pipe. When he did this he also dragged out one of the little caps. The result is easy to figure on, and his face is also disfigured. The pipe went in the air and Doc stated this evening it must be some where near Dolomite by this time if it is still going as fast as it was when it left him.
 He was not badly hurt, but he was badly scared for few minutes. Some one tried to point a moral, but he re- fused to listen to 1t and he remarked that after this old Virginia cheroots would look pretty good to him.

Everything that medical skill could possibly do was done in the hope that she might recover. but without avail and she succumbed this afternoon.
 Mrs. Bridges death was quite a sad one. She leaves besides her husband an infant of only a few days The funeral ar engagements have not been made as yet. however the interment will more than likely take place tomorrow afternoon at Cedar Hill cemetery. Jacobs & Son will have charge of the funeral.

versity Waco, Tex. This address WAS followed by a general discussion of prob- lens connected with the standards and management of the various Baptist in stitutions of learning. The educational conference each year is considered one of the most attractive features connected with the convention.

 President, r. W. Boatwright of Rich mond college, Virginia; vice president, M. D. Jeffries of the Carson Newman col lege of Tennessee; secretary, D. M. Riv- CTS of the Conway college, Arkansas.

 In speaking of the work by states Miss Heck said:
 "To the smallest state connected With the union belongs the honor of having reached and gone beyond apportion- ment for both home and foreign mis- sions. South Carolina took as it's ap- portionment in round numbers to these two objects s16,500 and exceeded th's amount by $33O0.
 Georgia has exceeded her foreign mission apportionment by $4OO. Tennes- see her home mission apportionment oy $40. and Alabama her home mission apportionment nearly $100.
 "While all praise is to these, this by no means indicates that others have nor done most valiantly.
