Funny Case of Disinterestedness

At the meeting of the city trustees
held last Thursday. w. q. Snyder,
as counsel in behalf of the editor of
the Ledger, appeared in relation to
the awarding of the contract for city
printing to W. M. Penny jr., of the
Dispatch. The opposition to the dis
posal of the contract is based on that
provision of law which prohibits any
betty trustee from being an interested
party, directly or Indirectly, In any
contract with the city. 1t is contend
ed that W. M. Penny sen., being a
trustee, and the proprietor of the
Dispatch, the Dispatch office was
thereby disqualified from entering
into any printing contract, however
much the deIectable combination at
the head of the city government
might desire that outcome. VIM. M.
Perry, at the request of the attorney,
was sworn, and in response to
questions propounded testified, that
be was the owner of the Dispatch out,
fit and business; that the city print
ing, if done under the contract as
awarded by the trustees, would be
done with the mtaerial in the Dis
patch, of which he was the owner:
that he had leased the office and
matreial to his son, in whose name
the city contract had been taken;
that he received rent for the use of
the outfit; that he was also employed
by his sou, at fixed salary; but
that Notwithstanding these facts. he
did not consider himself interested
in the contract; that he would not
take work at the prices given If he
had his way; that there was no pro-
fit in the contract anyway; he adj
mItted that if the Dispatch office
did not secure work he could not be
paid either rent or salary. After
relieving himself of these luminous
and remarkably consistent remarks,
which were drawn out reluctantly, he
was permitted to depart from the
inquisitorial ordeal. Snyder cou-
tended that the fact that he was an
interested party was clearly estab-
lished from the testimony given, and
therefore the contract for printing
was absolutely illegal and void. AS
the city attorney was not present,
tho board deferred definite action
until the next regular meeting.
Trustee Kirkwood was the only men,
Der of the board to relieve himself of
an opinion, and said that iuasmuch
as Penny had said he was not in
terested, that self-serving declalation
was sufficient for him. In other
words the mere expression of opinion
was the main thing with him, and
not the array of facts.

School Trustee Elections.

Elections for school trustees were
held in nearly all the districts
throughout the county last Friday
afternoon. In some districts there
was more than ordinary interest taken
ia the outcome, on account of pecu-
liar local conditions. The result in
the respective districts, as far as
heard from, is as follows
jackson. One trustee had to be
elect ed in place of George kirkwood,
whose term expired. lie was candi-
date for reelection. AT the last
moment g. g. Ginocchio was tIotted
out in opposition, and there was a
whole lot of work quitely done in his
behalf. One hundred and two votes
we're polled, of which Ginocohio re-
ceived 60, and KIrkwood SO. Differ
ent theories are given to account for
this crushing defeat of the retiring
trustee. Some assert it was due to
the saloon vote, which went heavily
against him on account of the action
of the board of trustees, of which he
Is member, in doubling the liquor
license. Others say it was in a mea-
sure owing to desire to break up
the clique who have been running
things; to sit down on the idea OF
two elective offices being held by one
man; an unseemly thing anyway,
whether the offices are remunerative
or not. 1t is hoped the good work
in this direction will continue, and
everyone who tries to hold two Offices
by the sutfrages of the voters will be
ousted.

WoMAN'S ATTRACTIVE AGE.
Il the Maid of Sixteen Outrivaled
by the Young Womans

|
| by the Young WOmanf
when we speak of the attra ctive-
ness OF woman, we really mean the at
tractiveness of woman to man.
with men the question Of when q
woman is most attractive is doubly
complicated, because it depends not
only on the woman, but on the taste of
the man himself. Not many years ago,
If this question had been asked, the
answer would have been unhesitatingly
| made that woman is most attractive
between the ages Of 16 and 20. Most
| of the heroines of classical fiction are
mere children.
1T must be confessed that, with rare
| exceptions the modern man prefers
something more sophisticated than
sweet 16, though 1t is undeniable that
the intelligent woman is at her best
when she is in her teens. This is easily
understood.
almost all young creatures are beau
tiful and heaven gives to even the
homeliest women day Of grave be-
tween 16 and IS. when she is pretty
with the prettiness of fresh cheeks and
dewy eyes and glossy hair.
'Twenty-three is an ideal time Of the
clock for the woman Of average intel
ligence and pulchritude, unless she
happens to be college bred. If she has
had the misfortune Of acquiring the
higher education she is still top-heavy
with learning and sef-esteem over hay
ing discovered the ancient Greeks and
Romans, and it requires ten years more
for her to find out that. for woman
to be thoroughly charming she should
have had a good education and forgot
ten it.
''For the woman. however, who Is
meant to be human natures daily food,
no age is more attractive than %. She
Is in the first flush Of having just ar
rived. The slim promises of girlhood
have been realized in the full beauty OF
womanhood. Sne still has illusions. but
they are not delusions. She still is in
nocent. but no longer ignorant.
Her intercourse WIN tne opposite
sex has certain frankness and com
radeship that is not the least Of her
charms. She seems so safe that she
is deadly dangerous. Statistics show
that more women marry at % than at
any other age.
"T'he bachelor woman is at her best
at 80, because she is consciously charm
ing. She has all the advantages with
which nature originally equipped her,
and she has added to them the frills
and furbelows of art. She has learned
to enhance her good looks by better
dressing and to put red shade on the
lamp and sit with her back 10 the light.
She has also learned how to talk, and,
better still, how to be fascinating list.
