WHAT ARE THE GREATEST soNGsr

The New York Herald recently COM
mented on the question, What are the
Greatest Songs'-sons that have stirred
the human heart, songs whose rhythm
and melody are for all time? Many
views were advanced by the various
readers but by almost unanimous con-
sent the following were the songs that
were entitled to that distinction and
voted to an exalted position in the Hall
pf Fame" The Star Spangled Banner"
''The Marseillaise," Die Wacht Am
Rhein," Song of the Evening Star
from Tannhauser; THE Lost Chord"
'Die Meistersinger." "OId Black joe"
sMiserre" from I'll Trovatore," God
Save the Queen" and Dixie" These
immortal melodies, together with many
of the patriotic national anthems and
the newest ballads coon songs, and the
sweet old time songs of the south will
be a feature of the Dandy Dixie Min
strels performance announced for next

with his grievance but brings in an
autside attorney"
Argument WAKES Warm.
Here Attorney Stinson in his usual
affable manner interrupted the mayor
with:
Pardon me. Mr.. Mayor, I am ap-
pearing tonight merely as a taxpayer.
and do not expect compensation from
Mr.. Wolter for the stand that 1 am
taking in his behalf"
Newman and Hammond made a mo-
tion and seconded it respectively that
the appropriation be allowed Mr.
Smalley spoke again showing how a
congestion in the treasurer's office con-
gests his office and how the city event
ually would be the loser of the same
amount of money in interest.
Mayor Becker suggested to Council
man John Kane that it would probably
be more advisable to vote for the ap-
preparation which they gray haired
watchdog of the treasury did with i'll
grace, much to the satisfaction of his
colleagues in the council.
New Ordinance Introduced.
An ordinance that is entirely new to
Hammond and which will undoubtedly
receive considerable discussion by the
property owners, was that introduced
by the mayor regulating the location
of livery and feed barns in Hammond.
The ordinance was passed to its second
reading. The sense of the ordinance
is I'd that no livery or feed barn may
be built on any block in the city which
contains a church or school. (2) That
the builder must first of all have a per-
NIT of the majority of property owners
in a block where he intends to locate
| (3) That he must not build within fifty
feet of a residence unless he has the
owners consent and (4) that the fol-
lowing streets are exempted in that
prospective builders need not get a
permission of the majority of the prop
erty owners towit: Holman street
from Gostlin to Clinton street, State
street from State Line to Oakley ave-
nue. and Plummer avenue, from Sta te
Line to Oakley avenue. This exemp-
