STREET REPAIRING IS
A MAMMOTH JOB
Not Enough Money to Pay
the Cost.
An Additional Few Thousand May
Have to Be Borrowed Before the
job Is Completed.

It is quite probable that the sum of
$4,000 which was appropriated and for
which bonds were issued to repair the
asphalt paving on Prospect and
Church streets, will be very far from
sufficient to cover the actual expense
incurred in the work. Mayer brothers
company, of Erie, Pennsylvania took
the contract for the work for $4,000
and the work is now well begun. 1t is
estimated that with the streets in the
condition they are in now much more
money will be required The streets
have been torn up in order to do the
repair work and it Is said that it will
require $1,000 to complete the work
properly More money may have to be
borrowed and new contracts let for
the completion of the work which
is a much greater undertaking than
was thought some time ago.

A general shake-up in the superin-
tendancy of the charitable institutions
of the country occurred yesterday
when the trustees of the Waddell
Children's Home and the County In
firmary directors met and simultan-
eously accepted the resignation of Mrs
Clarissa Hand, matron of the home,
and William F. Hurr, superintendent
of the infirmary, to take effect Janu-
airy /.
Mrs. Hand has given eight years of
efficient service to the home and has
created about the little folks of chari-
ty an atmosphere of culture and re-
fnement of which any American
mother might be justly proud. She
has taken a personal interest in each
little life in her charge, and the
sharp edge of discipline, which is
the trial of childhood has been soften
ed by the gentleness on its admins
tration, although rigidly maintained
Mrs. Hand received the unqualified
thanks and commentators of the
board for her service. Her plans for
the future have not been completed
at this time, but 1t is probable that
after rest, she will again enter in
sttution work in a larger field.
Mr. and Mrs. Hurr, whose regime at
the infirmary mas covered a period
of ten years have accepted the posi-
| tionc &c ounarintapdont opJ r,a4rnn of
the Children's Home. Both are quail
| fled by nature endowment and exper-
ience to fill this important post, as
their successful work at the infirmary
has amply proven. At no time in the
history of the poor farm has the
financial or domestic condition reach
ed q higher standard than at present
and the fact that the inmates at all
| times were satisfied with condi-
tions as they exist, Is an unequivocal
Recommendation in favor of the Hurr
discipline, for old age is Otter
lquerolous and exacting in its demands
AT er all there is not vast amount
of difference between the childhood
of old age and of youth and Mr. ant
Mrs. Hurr, genial Of disposition and
interested in their mission will
doubtless be popular and beloved oi
the little folks.
Mr.. and Mrs Samuel Bader will as
sumo charge at the infrmary Mr.
Bader was elected director of the in
stitution one year ago. and has given
special attention to the work. He is
well qualified to fill such a position o.
trust, being man of rectltude and de
cision.

BOARD OF HEALTH
WANTS WEEDS CUT
Campaign Will Be Started
at Once.
Health of the City is Very Good and
the Board Proposes To Keep II 80,
III Possible.

A weed cutting campaign is about
to be entered upon over the city by
the board of health. At a regular
meeting last evening it was decided
that a good part of the sickness in
the city is due to high grass over
empty lots here and there over the
city. Officer Roy Chapman will begin
at once to have the weeds and high
grass ordered cut where this is Great
ling nuisance.
The health over the city, however
is very good, and during the month OF
July there was but one case of ty-
phoid fever and a case of scarlet fever
the latter coming here from Columbus
reported to the officer. The case of ty-
phoid was released
The board asked that Mayor Louis
Scherff, who is president of the board
attend its meetings. AS the meetings
are held late in the evening following
the meetings of the service board the
president has not been in the habit OF
attending.

the meeting acted as a spokesman for
the residents in the vicinity of the
lake. He said that any fair minded
person would agree that the lake as
It was would breed typhoid fever
and was q menace to the community.
He related how the boys waded in
the mud there and of their many dis
graceful pranks. He declared all the
trouble was due to the fact that
swimming was allowed there and
said that the residents were willing to
report any failure to obey the rules
If they are posted there. He thought
the local police were not so busy,
but that they might go thre once in
a while and arerst a few persons for
infringing on the rules If they were
notified.
Mr.. Anthony talked to the board
at some length regarding the mat
ter and said that the difficulty re-
garding the lake was useless and
mysterious because of the fact that a
conference was held over the tele-
phone regarding the lake on the day
that the water was turned off and
each of the board members agreed
with Mr.. Anthony in turning off the
water. Later 1t was supposed. the
impression was circulated that It was
q permanent action and the members
of the board have been given de-
cided combing by the advocates of the
lake.
At the conclusion of the discussion
1t was decided to allow the lake tc
remain dry for some time and the
sides will be raked down, seed viii
be planted along the sides of the lake
and things will be given a genera
cleaning up. All agreed that this. wa.
good policy and If rain comes soor
the gates will be closed and the Lake
allowed to fiji. The members sa!
that no money has been lost in turn
ing off the water.

Norris M. Trimmer, who resides
on West Center street was the VIC

his scalp entirely from the right side
OF his head and inflicting wounds

American Royalty.

A visitor to one Of the hotels at
Carlsbad, Germany, tells the story
Of gentleman to whom the servants
and the proprietor paid the most pro-
found attention. He was royalty
treated, rather to the neglect of the
rest of the guests.
Every time he came out Of the
hotel door a strip of green carpet
would be rolled down in front of him,
and the attendants would take of
their caps and bow in the most defer
entail and obsequious manner. Meth
er the visitor thus Sc strangely hon
ored nor the other guests could make
out what this Difference meant
At last some one looked in the
printed register, or "kurgast liste."
There was the entry:
James the LIST, King Of Buffalo,
N. Y.
1t was the native printers render
ing of the Americans name-James
/. King, Buffalo, N. Youths Com
panion.

It is Evident People Did Not Suffer From Hun.
ger Even in Revolutionary Days.

Vegetables, all Of the old Sorts, and
one / do not believe you have yet
seen. Uncle Simeon imported the
Seeds from England just before the
War. 1t is called Sillory, and you eat
1t without cooking it.
Our Mince Pies were good enough
and the Pumpkin Pies, Apple Tarts
and big Indian Pudding lacked moth
ing save appetite by the time we had
got around to them.
The Day was bitter cold and by the
time Dinner was one half over those
on the far side Of the table were glad
to bring their plates to the Preside to
get warm.
Uncle Simeon kept both tables in
a roar Of laughter We did not rise
from the tables until quite dark. We
got around the fire as close as posi-
BILE and cracked nuts, sang songs and
told stories.
Brother Jack, who did not get
home until Wednesday, though he
had left College Monday morn and
rode with all diligence through the
snow, brought an orange to each
grandmother, but, Alas! they were
frozen in the saddle bags. We soaked
them In cold water, but guess they
wasn't as good as they should have
been.

Naibori. Smokeless powder will be
almost entirely used.
AS far as known the ex-President
has provided himself with only three
types of hunting guns. These are the
Remington autoloading repeating
rifle, the Winchester repeating rife,
model of 1895, and an English nitro
express rife. The latter weapon is
the one with which he will hunt big
game, like the elephant, rhinoceros
and hippopotamus. 1t is the only gun
that Is suited to the safe hunting Of
the, animals named. It's weight is
nearly seventeen pounds. 1t is dou-
ble-barrelled, and both barrels are
discharged at once. 1t carries q
smokeless cordite cartridge Of 40
calibre. The cartridge Is charged
with ITO grains Of powder and car
ries 50O-grain bullet of lead and
steel.
The smaller American rifles with
which the distinguished nimrod will
be armed have virtually the same
range and penetration as the English
gun, but neither of them has tire pow
err of stunning, If not killing imme-
diately,, thefQuanrXras has ths7nttrC-
express gum ,ssswaasa u AZ tsa A.
The American rifles will be used
by Mr.. Roosevelt for lions, leopards
and othef. small but dangerous game.
He will never, however, beawithoutl
the great express rife, for on every
sortie in that part Of the jungle over
which he expects to hunt he has been
told there Is never any telling when
one or the other form of the mann
moth may be seen within the range
of the English gun. With this weap-
on Mr.. Roosevelt did much practicing
around Washington for several weeks
before his term in the White House
expired. Most Of this practice shoot
ing was done on the Virginia farm of
Surgeon-General Rixey, Of the navy.
The President kept this very quiet at
the time, as he did not wish to be
harassed by photographers and news
paper men. AS a result Of this secre-
cy no picture Of the gun is obtainable.
A Pair of Big Spectacles.
Another important article Of Mr.
Roosevelt's equipment for his haz-
ardous expedition about which moth
ing has been said is the pair Of huge
spectacles he has been wearing ever
since he became a private citizen.
Upon only those occasions when he
left the White House for the Rixey
farm or some other favorlte shooting
place did he wear these glasses at
Washington.
At present he wears them all the
time in order thoroughly to accustom
himself to them. They are perfectly
circular and almost as large as those
worn by the late LII Hung Chang
when that famous Chinese statesman
visited the United States short time
before his death. Heavily trimmed in
gold, with stanch shafts" that grip
the ears firmly, and with triangular
instead of curved bridge, they give
to Mr.. Roosevelt's face fierce ex-
preston.

Dear Cousin Betty-This year It

dinner in his house, but of course we
all helped him as they help us when 1t
is our turn. All the baking Of pies
and cakes was done at our house, and
we had the big oven heated and filled
twice a day for three days before
all was done, and everything was

OF course we could have no Roast

A Rich PROVINCE of Tibet.

The province of Bongba, newly dis

important province of Tibet. Even
China has had no idea of its existence.
Hence my explorations were, not only
geographically, but also politically, Of
great interest.
Roads of many kinds lead through
