mittee OF Fourteen, of New York City.
Commissioner Clement refers to the marked i'm
pTove1nent of Sunday observance of the excise law
which obtained in New York under Police Commits
sioner Roosevelt" and adds that this Improvement
has been repeated during the last six months not
only IN Buffalo, but generally throughout Erie
County through the efforts of the Civic League OF
Buffalo.
The Commissioner points out that the liquor tax
law is unquestlonably a police regulation" and
expresses the opinion that citizens insisted upon
rigid enforcement Of the law by local authorities
better results would be obtained. Commissioner
Clement says ne sees reason 10 believe as
claimed that the adoption of the plan to open the
saloons from ! 10 IL p. m. Sundays Will put an
end TO graft He expresses his approval OF a Dill

Ing for two months with the subject of direct

train at about O'Clock back Washington
Messrs. Chvers and Wadhams said that they
would not recommend bill that called for the re-
tenton Of the present convention system, and they
advocated the Human Green bill favored by the
Governor.
After discussion these resolutions we're adopted,
the vote being unanimous with the exception of Col
lin H Woodward who has worked nights and Sun
days for the last six or seven weeks framing an
election law.
Resolved, That the report be received but that
the committee not having had time to study the
pm. IS unable at this meeting to express an opinion
Resolved. That the committee urge upon the
Leglsiature at this time the enactment Of law
the need of which IS admitted by all and which
has been repeatedly urged by this committee.

rBy Telegraph to The Tribune J

Albany. April 10.-The strangling Of the Francis
bill TO supervise telephone and telegraph companies
in the Assembly has aroused wave Of protest
among merchants which is making itself felt here
Dozens OF letters poured in on Senator John Raines
to-day. urging him the leader Of the Republican
ma ori1y the upper house TO use his influence to
obtain the passage Of that measure. Most of these
letters came from New York City merchants or
mercantile firms. The following letter is TYPICAL
ADT,Teciating The influence you exercise in de-
tarIniye what bills shall be passed or defeated bv
The Legislature, the undersigned requests very

in control of the Legislature is responsible. and
should concede this long delayed relief at this

Also there were letters and telegraphic dspa tches
opposing enactment Of such legislation.

legislation providing fo~ regulation Of these

The Merchants Association which Q few years ago
conducted q crusade against the Telephone Trust

DOWRIES FOR UNIONISTS.

members of women's unions has been
decided upon by the biennial conven,

The plan. which was adopted to in.
duce women to join unions of their
craft, provides that when any member
of the organization marries she shall
be presented with dowry, the amount
to be conditional on the number of
years she has been member.

Antiquity of Nicknames.

The origin of the word as well as

custom of ''nicknaming" is unknown.
Such names are as old at least as the
most venerable chronicles, for upon
diving into ancient history we have no
trouble at all in proving that Plato
was called the Attic Bee" and Socra-
tes "Old Flat Nose" There isn't the
least doubt but that many of our sur
names come from nicknames applied
TO our ancestors, such, for instance, as
"Dollarhide." "Oxenrider," Bright"
"Lightfoot," "Walkingshaw," Red.

Egyptian word which signifies 'limpy."

other eminent persons, have been made

appropriate or ridiculous sobriquet be,

Tho Art of SAVING.

vent unique ways of saving money the
public would have an assured future.
Men, women and children would re-
gard saving as Il game and play it
with all their heart. There are penny
savings banks where newsboys and
bootblacks carry their tiny savings, but
other children regard their penny bank
at home with unfriendly eyes. There
are working girls who put away their
five cent pieces and fatten their small
bank accounts by walking instead of
riding and making other petty sacri-
fees. But the majority of working
girls spend as fast as they can earn
and declare that they cannot help it.

career by regarding every dollar as n
worker and getting all the profit he

COMMISSIONERS
ACT PROMPTLY

Tho petition from the borough coun-
Gil to the county commissioners order
ed Friday night relating to the recon
struction of the East Market street eX-
tension under the act of May l. 1905, 4,
has been followed by prompt action on
the part of the commissioners and un-
less unexpected delay occurs it is now
believed that the road can be macad-
amized before winter.
Upon receiving the petition Satur-
day morning the county commission
ers at once petitioned the State high
way department to undertake the i'm
provement of the road, specified in
the petition from the borough, name
ly, stretch one thousand feet in
length lying between Foust street in
the borough and the macadam on the
East Market street extension built by
the State.
If the petition is accepted and ap-
proved, as the next step an engineer
will be sent here by the State High
way Department to make the neces-
sary survey. Advertisements for the
reconstruction and improvement of the
road under the provisions of the act
must be given by the State Highway
Commissioner not less than twenty
days before the contract may be award
ed, by public notice in at least two
newspapers of general circulation.
1t is believed that the State High
way Department can be induced to
act promptly in the matter taking the
successive steps without any unneces-
sary loss of time, which will make it
possible to award the contract and go
on with the reconstruction of the road
during November.

euished Himself In the Pekin Siege.
Auguste F. Chamot, who recently
died at Larkspur, Cal, was the hero
of the Boxer uprising in China His
life was romantic and adventurous.
He went to Pekin in 1888, before he
was sixteen years old, with only 40
cents In his pocket Missionaries to
whom he appealed for aid supplied him
with funds, and he built n small hotel
1t gradually grew into the Hotel de
Pekin, an establishment of 400 rooms.
Mr.. Chamot distinguished himself in
the siege of Pekin during the Boxer
uprising in June and July, 1900 Prior
to the siege he had the foresight to lay
in large store of rice and other food
stuffs, which are said to have saved the
foreigners in the legation quarter from
starvation.
"In less than twenty-four hours"
one reads in ''The Siege of the Lega
tions," by Captain Darcy, "Mr. Cha
mot has been able to find enough food
eight days. AS miller. baker, engineer.
builder of barricades, chief of coolies
etc, he has been everything and done
everything through that memorable
siege without the advice of any one"
Mr.. Chamot and his wife between
them killed 700 Boxers during the
siege. One day he himself killed fifty
