TIE biennial session of the City Ooun-
Gil virtually came t. close last night
and the new Council will come into ex-
isteuce on September LIST next. The
new body, with the exception of two
members from the second ward, will be
imposed of the members of the present
hoard. A resume of the Councils lsbors
for the wear will show that considerable
important work has been accomplished.
Ofcourse some things have beendone that
might have been left undone, while many
oilers thst might have been done were
left undone, but on the whole much has
been accomplished. During the yeSr
about $50, 600 was spent in improving
streets and laying sewers; plans were
practically perfected for refundiUg the
cit,'s debt; an appropriation made for
erecting a new school building and an
other for remodelling the Corporation
Court room and clerks Office. The gas
works have been put in excellent order
aud other improvements made in the
city. Taken a'tog,lber the Council
was quite an indu t-Ous one.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY 10. 1908.

THE democratic national committee,
at Lincoln, Neb., yesterday, acting with
this party candidates, took a positive
stand on the subject of campaign con-
tributions and publicity for both receipts
and expenditures, instead Of evading the
direct issue, as their opponents have
done. Both Bryan and Kern came out
fatty against corporation help 10 tinsn-
cling the campaign as well as against
individual control by means of heavy
contributions. The committees resolu-
ton presented by Mr.. Daniels, of North
Carolina, with the full approval of both
candidates, declares that, in pursuance
of the pledge made in the Denver plat
form, it will accept no contribution from
corporstions, no individual contribution
above $1,000 and will publish on or
before October Is all contributions in
exce,s of 800 and will receive no con-
tribution above $l0e within three days
Of the election. Both Bryan and Kern
addressed the committee in support of
the resolution, which was adopted with
out dissent. How interesting it would
b,if the republican national commit
tee should announce that it would re-
ceiye no contributors from corporations
or more than $4,000 from any one
person But George R. Sheldon WAS
not elected treasurer for that sort OF
fnanciering.

Suicide and Attempted Suicide.

outStdS oha
Budapestb, July l5.-One sensational
suicide and another attempted suicide,
occurring almost simultaneously and
with the victims scions OF the richest and
most arislocrstic families, startled the
Hungarian capital today.
10 the first case Baron josef Banhidy
shot himself dead 10 his fathers pres
ence, because the laltsr had upbraided
him for his dissipation.
Within few moments Count CARL
gay, 0 well.kuown character of the city,
shot himself while begging his mother
for more money with which to carry on
his designations. He is dying. Csrlzay,
after demanding money of his mother,
drew out his watch and threatened to
shoot himself il his request was not COM
piled with within five minntes. He had
made such threats before, and the mother
did not think him in earnest. When
the five minutes was up, however, the
young man whipped revolver from his
pocket and fred bullet into his head,
falling into his mothers arms.
Both Bsnbidy and Carlzay were noted
spendtbrifts and their exploit, and prof
legacy had frequently shocked their re-
spec tive families.

UNCLE SANS GOLD BRICK.

Treasury officials have reached
the conclusion that the United States
received very thinly washed gold
brick" when it loaned million dol
lars in real money on the gate re-
CENTS of the jamestown exposition.
According to the expert accountants
who have figured up the totals from
the chaotic tumble of figures sub
mitted by the officials of the bust
ed show the national treasury now
stands to lose a little more than
100000. Contrary to the general
belief the government is not the
preferred creditor of the exposition
company, and cannot realize on the
property which remains in posses
sion of the bankrupt corporation.
Congress loaned the money on the
gate receipts, and as the gate re-
ceipts did not bring in enough to
square the governments account
that ends it as far as the government
is concerned. 1t has no lien -pon
the grounds, the beautiful exhibit
buildings, or even upon the magnif-
cent permanent pier, which was
built with government money Unless
it buys in the property, therefore, it
looks very much as if the govern
ment were doomed to lose out alto
gether in the transaction.
1t is getting time for a halt to be
called in appropriating and lending
public money to fairs and exposi-
tons. 1t is wrong to use money
wrung from the people by taxation
for such purposes.
Georgia squandered $4,000 Of
the peoples money on this exposi-
ton, the net result being that a few
men had a big time strutting at
public expense, and the state the
modification of unpaid bills and
some other things on the part of
some of its representatives at
jamestown that were not altogether
creditable.

A Touching Incident.

An incident of peculiarly touching
character occurred yesterday in one
of the elevated railroad trains that
brought tears to the eyes of the pas
| sengers, says the New York Her
aid. The train had just left One
Hundred and Twenty fifth street
when the passengers saw entering
the car a little boy about six years
old, half carried by an older boy,
evidently his brother. Both were
we'll dressed, but at first glance it
was seen that the little fellow was
blind. He had a pale, wan face. but
was smiling. A quick look of sympa-
thy passed over the faces of the pas
sengers, and an old gray-haired gem
tleman got up and gave his seat to
the two. The big brother" who
was about eleven years old, tenderly
lifted up the little blind boy and plac-
ed him on his knee.
'HOw's that?" he asked.
Nice" said the little chap
where's my 'monica?"
This puzzled some of the passen-
gers, and several turned to see what
the child meant. But the big broth
err knew, and Immediately drew out
a small mouth harmoniCa and placed
it in the little fellows hands. He
took the instrument into his thin
hands, ran it across his lips and be-
gan to play softly Nearer, My God,
to Thee. Tears came into the eyes
of the old gentleman who had given
up his seat, and as the little fellow
played on, running into the Rock
of Ages" and abide With Me-"
there were many moist eyes in the
car. &
The train rushed along, the pas
sengers listened, and the little fellow
played on tirelessly. never missing a
note of Annie Laurie" or Home,
Sweet Home" Finally the big
brother" leaned down ard told the
little one to get ready to leave, as the
train was nearing their station. Then,
as if he knew he had won a whole
carload of friends, tie blind boy
quickly changed the "SuwaHaee' Riv-
err into ''Auld Lang Sine" and with
one accord the passengers burst into
a round of applause, while the big
brother" carried the little one out of
tire car
