Mayor Says Contractors
Charge Is Ridiculous

Mayor Linck says the intimation
by contractors that Joe Wells has
been getting favors as a city con-
tractor because of his friendship
for the contractor and because
Wells took him buggy riding is
ridiculous and not true.
He says Wells has done some
work for him and he had gone
with him in his buggy to see about
1t on one occasion, but this had
nothing to do with city work.
On the city culvert he says Joe
went to the commissioner and said
he could get ga iron rods for re-
Inducements and he asked IL he
could put In two half-inch in
stead. Commissioner McGregor
thinking two half-inch rods would
be more iron than one three-quar-
ter agreed and they were put In.
When the engineers heard of 1t
they kicked. They showed that
there is several per cent less iron
in two half-inch rods than one
three-quarter inch.
Then the commissioner demand
ed that Wells give bond to safe
guard the city and this he did, SO
the administration feels that it has
done all possible to look after the
city's interests.
i have not used my influence
to the advantage of any contrac-
tor against the CITY," said the
mayor. The only thing he had to
do with the Wells case, he says,
Is that he asked the city attorneys
about the bond and insisted that
Wells should be given a square
deal but that he be required to
live up to the requirements of the
city.

one might think the likeness of the
great iron master and phIlanthropist
would attract more attention than that

the case, as was illustrated during

more than dozen persons were stand

course Mary did not have so many

tiadIey Points Out DANCER.

President Iladley Of Yale writes:
In the year 1889 the whole French
people was in state of political ex.
element. They seized eagerly upon
everything sensational A young jour
nalist named Camille Desmoulins
shared this feeling and took advan-
tage of it. He wrote a series of ar.
ticles called Lamp Post Talks to the
People Of Paris, in which he urged
that anybody who was not a friend Of
the people ought to be taken to the
nearest lamp post and hanged. He
was not himself a bloodthirsty man.
He chose his title chiefly because II
sounded so picturesque After a time
he saw that they were executing
great many innocent men and women,
and began TO tell men so. Then they
said that he was not a friend OF the
people any longer, and hanged him.
This story has a moral for Us in Amer
lea today II shows the dangers that
come to people which read. newspa-
pers for the sake OF excitement, in
stead Of for the sake Of information.

Some curious information In regard
to the customs and beliefs OF the ma.

kongo is contributed by Rev Thomas
Lewis, who says: In the matter OF
preserving bodies for burial Kongos,
after the usual binding In cloth, keep
them for two or thr months In their
houses, where fire Is kept burning:
but In Zombo they are suspended on
two forked sticks In dugout vault In
the ground. which Is covered over with
palm branches and earth. Sometimes
the body Is placed under a specially
built grass roof In the even. This IL
not considered burial, and four or
five years ago they brought out for
big funeral feast and dance the
body of an important chief that had
thus been preserved for over 20 years.
In other districts the dead are thrown
away into river or into the bush
to be devoured by jackals and val.

NO missionary has yet, to my kno"'

name of God into any of the Bantu laa-

The oftrepeated statement made
by missionaries and travellers that the
untaught native has no idea OF the ex-
istence of God is not correct; what
they mean to say is that he has no
knowledge Of what God Is, which is
quite a different matter. The lack
of this knowledge about God, while

NEW DOCK FOR PEARL HARBoR.
Government to Build the Largest One
in the World.

Washington. - Specifications have
been issued by the navy department
for the construction of the new dry
dock at the proposed naval station a.
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, which will be
the longest dock of the kind in the
world. Bids will be opened at the
department February 10. The dock
will be large enough to take two bat
tleships at the same time.
Its all-over length is 1875 feet
whereas the longest dock previously
constructed, at Philadelphia, is 79s
feet over all and the Puget sound
dock, recently contracted for, is So
feet over all.
An innovation, so far as American
docks are concerned, is that there will.
be four caisson seats, two as usual at
the entrance to the dry dock and two
others near the middle Of the dock, di
yiding the main structure into an in
her and outer dock. There will be two
steel caisson gates and the arrange
ments will be such that with a ship in
the inner dock the outer dock may be
filed and emptied independently, thus
allowing the ship upon which the most
extensive repairs are to be made tC
remain in the inner dock while ships
with minor repairs are being dockec
in rapid succession in the outer dock
