CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Viii Forbid Bands Playing on Streets Sun.
days During Church Service or After
Twelve at Night.


A regular meeting of the city
council was held Monday night, at
which a considerable amount of
routine business was disposed of j,
such as passing bills, etc.
The city attorney was requested
draft an ordinance to prohibit
bands of musicians from playing
on the streets on Sundays while
services are being held in the
churches, and also at night after
twelve O'Clock, unless special
permit be obtained.
The subject of passing an ordin-
ance for the parking of the streets
was discussed, but it was stated
that there is already a sidewalk
ordinance in effect, which the coun-
Gil thinks renders any further
legislation relative to the matter
unnecessary.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhaned con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam
ed you have rumbiing sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrb
Onre. Send for circulars free.

IN MEMORIAM.
A Sweet Blossom Was Gathered for the
Master with the Close Of the Old
Year.

The closing days of the old year
brought deepest sorrow to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank B.
Armstrng of this city, when the
grim reaper took from their en-
brace the form of their loved
Louise. Though only five years
old, little Louise had fulfilled a
mission, not fully understood per
haps until the close of her short
journey on earth. Brief as was the
period of her life, yet in its sever
al phases of home and school, as
we'll as in the limited sphere of a
child's social circle, she had exhib-
tied unusual traits that had en-
deared her to parents, teachers and
playmates.
Deeply afectionate, she was re
markably kind and obedient, and
never wished to have any pleasure
in which her mother and sisters
and brother could not share.
During her brief experience in
the kindergarten, she was distin-
guished for her unusually alert in
telligence and her generosity. Her
teacher would often remark Lou
ise's generosity is equalled only
by her ambition to learn" Her
future appeared to give rare pro-
mise.
Socially, both among playmates
and before strangers, she was char
acterized by a rare sensitiveness
and a sinking of all thoughts of
self, in her eagerness to please.
She entered most enthusiastically
into everything she undertook
and was never happier than when
she appeared Unexpectedly with
gift for some friend, which she
would deliver with delight.
1t pleased Providence by what
a strange dispensation to
stop the embryo of remarkable pos
sibilities in this sweet child. The
reason why cannot be OWNED, but
it must be well.
Not now, but in the coming years,
II may be in the better land,
Wen read the meaning of our tears
And there sometime will understand.
Well catch the broken threads again,
And finish what we here began;
Heaven will the mysteries explain,
And then, ahi them, well understand. .

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY D, 1908.
Il GOOD SUGGESTION.

ii
It was suggested at the last
meeting of the city council that an
ordinance be passed regulating the
width of sidewalks, so as to reserve
nine feet on each side of the 60
foot streets ard seven feet on each
side of the 4O-foot streets for paw
ing and parking purposes, allow
ing six feet for pavement and three
for sod and trees or shrubs on the
wider and four feet for pavement
and three for planting on the mar
rover streets, this excepting on
on the main business streets.
The suggestion appears good.
AS soon as the water system is
turned oil, our citizens will want
TO plant trees, oleanders or other
shrubs along the edges of the
walks in front of their homes. A
uniform system of 'sixfoot pave
= meuts bordered by a three-foot
Sip of sod, with handsome shade
trees or ornamental shrubs planted
thereon, throughout the town,
would add immensely to the at
Effectiveness Of Brownsville. With
abundance of water, it will be easy
60 beautify the town in the manner
described.
The present sidewalk ordinance,
1t seems, reserves ten feet on either
side Of the wider streets and eight
feet on either side of the narrower
streets for sidewalks. The proposed
ordinance would cut off a foot of
width from these reservations, ad
ding two feet to the width of the
drive-ways, which would be an adj
vantage. The narrowing of the
pavements would also lessen the
expense of paving.
1t is true, Brownsville already !
has a sidewalk ordinance, as stated |
at the council meeting, but there
Is no reason why the existing or
diuauce should not be amended.
Such wide sidewalks are not ne
cessary, nor are they common in
most cities. Brownsville is just
now about to assume the rights
and privileges Of modern cities,
ard she should be guided by the
most successful examples of other
towns that have preceded her
along this way. It is necessary,
should anything along the line
suggested be CO ltemplated, that
the matter be attended TO prompt
8y, SO the engineers in constructing
the water and light systems, might
be instructed to place the hydrants
and poles at the permanent line
dividing the driveway and side
walks, and not have them placed
so as to possibly form an obstruc-
ton on the streets, which they
would do should the street and
sidewalk ordinance be amended as
suggested after these works are
installed.

STRENUOUSDEFENSE
IN MURDER TRIAL
Attempt To Show That
Woman Killed
Herself

The case of Nakamoto, the Japan
Csc who is charged with having MUIR
dered his wife, Yoshino, at the DIR.
Sanford residence on Nov. ., came up
in the Police Court this morning,
and was bitterly contested by A. l..
C.. Atkinson, who appeared as counsel
for the defendant Deputy County
Attorney Milverton appeared for the
prosecution. The case occupied the
entire morning session and was con-
tinued until this afternoon.
Mrs. Sanford testified that the wo-
man had been left alone in the house
all day, and her body had only been
found that evening. The. .woman was
lying in a pool of blood in the bath
room. Her throat had been cut with
a razor, which was one of three
which were in DR.. Sanford's room.
The woman's dress was clean and
without wrinkles, indicating that
there had been no struggle. Her
hand was clutched and covered with
blood. The razor was lying on the
floor Il short distance from the body.
DR.. Sanfords testimony was of
about the same nature as that OF his
wife.
August Spillncr testified that he
had seen Nakamoto enter the gate of
the Sanford place at s o'clock in the
morning of the day of the death. He
was impeached by Atkinson and be-
came quite ratified. The rest of the
witnesses will be heard this after
noon.
The defense Is evidently trying to
show that the woman came to her
death by her own hand, the fact that
she knew where DR.. Sanford's razors
were and that one of them WIS used,
that there was no struggle, and that
her hand was covered with blood be-
ing strong ones in favor of this the
| ory.

MRS. AST0R

The death of Mrs. William Astor
in New York removes woman who
in all probability was the last of u
line of mItrons who have been rec
oEniZed as leaders of New York 20
Ciety. II was she who first named Il
set which included four hundred per-
sons and confined her invitations and
calls to them. She reigncd almost
regally for over twenty years and
her death will be mOurnod sincerely
by large circle Of friends.
Democratic America is not always
loath to criticise those women who
geek TO introduce into social circles
on this side of the water the ideals
OF older countries that boast of a no,
hility, Yet society there must be,
and there must be different strata ;
for the whole of n population of four
millions cannot come into close rela-
tions of social intercourse. Ideals
differ. Wealth and the ability to
entertain differ. Originality and
brain-power differ. It was the place
of Mrs Astor, as she understood 1t,
to select from those who made New
York their residence such as seemed
best fitted to represent the families
of mark in the metropolis and bind
them together into an aristocracy.
Mrs, Astor was not a believer In
an aristocracy of wealth. She her.
self was by no means ono Of the rich,
est of the multi-milllonaires of New
York. Compared with many whom
she entertained her property was
modest. Nor did she impose money
conditions upon those whom she re,
ceived. Naturally none who wer,
not blessed with fair share Of the
worlds goods could afford to main
cain the standards which would MAKE
participation in her entertainment
possible. But Mrs. Aston considered
many things. Brains, blood, none,
and culture all had a share in decid
ing for her who should be permitte'
a place in the elite circle which sh'
held together for SO many years.

new CAMP MAKES
A fine SHOWING

The U. s. Army Engineers camp
on Waikiki Beach is making an en-
viable record for health. Though
there are $50 men in the camp there
has not developed single case Of i'll
ness since camp was pitched. The
men are in the best of health and
the officers are greatly pleased over
the outlook. 20
That the men will remain in camp
for some days to come is certain. The
mules will not be released from quar-
antine for some little time, and even
then nothing can be done until Or
ders are received from Washington
Even after the men are sent into
the field 1t is considered probable
that the camp on Waikiki Beach will
be maintained. The close proximity
of the water does away with the
problem of sanitation and the grove
of algeroba trees furnishes a natural
shelter which makes che camp almost
equal to permanent barracks as far
as health and comfort are concerned
