They sat opposite each other, and az
for her, she looked demurely out of the
window at nothing at all, and for him,
he looked at her.
Very pensive was she md reminiscent
of the lilies and the unfathomable sea.
Her eyes were brown and liquid and
touched with a CLINT OF sadness-deep,
wonderful eyes and altogether reminis-

Gradually and by such a subtle advance
that II can only be compared to the
travel Of the hour hand of a clock, he

 At frst there was an efrort to award the contract at once. Aldermen Nor itx and Ssul ccnsended that fhs coun- cii had waited too long. and that the award should be made at once 60 that the unsuccepsful bidders might make other arrangements.
 Alderman Seloie contended for de- lay. ,so that the bids could be consid- cred. An agreement brought about tho postponement of action.
 Alderman Seidle later expressed his opinion that the bids were too cheap. Tfe city may use the convicts Itself to better advantage, he said. or it may be that nav bids will be asked.
 Adopting the recommendation of the Finance Committee. the Council author fixed the Mayor to enter a contract with The Montgomery Advertiser to publish the AofIacial records of the Council for a year. The consideration is $f25 a month. based on an estimate of seven teen and one-third columns each month. or POS columns for the year. with. a rate of S7.50 additional for each column more than the seventeen and one-third each month.
 It having been discovered that the money appropriated to cover the ex- pense of several departments TOT the year Is insufficient. further appropria- tions were authorized to run the de- partments for the remainder of the year, as follows: Executive depart- ment Mayor. s241.s5; cemetery. $400: hospital. s2,400; printing and station : cry. se5o.
 Three hundred and eighty dollars was appropriated to pay the cost of delinquent tax sales by the Register in Chancery.
 One hundred and thirty dollars was appropriated at the recommends ton of the Finance Committee. to pay Mir. and Mrs. D. s. whetstone. for property purchased in the widening of South Court Street.
 At the instance of the Finance Con- mfttee. Sz05o was appropriated to the relief of B. M Trentham, for which amount the city is indebted to him through an error in figuring the amount of his license.

Declaring that the very object and purposes of the grand jury were de- feated by the publishing of happen ings Hithtn the jury room that are supposed to be inviolate secrets known to none but the witnesses and the grand jurymen themselves, Judge Thomas c. Jones yesterday announced in the Federal Court that in the fu- ture exploitation of the secrets of the grand jury by the press will be fol- lowed by the arrest and Imprisonment of the offenders for contempt of court.
 Judge Jones said to the grand jury that he was sure that none had been guilty of violation of his oath and that he did not know where the all legged leakage occurred, but 1t Is cvi- dent the press is too much aware of grand jury room and that 1t must be stopped He explained that the pur- pose Of the secrecy Of the grand jury Is to protect witnesses that may ap- pear before 1t and that culprits sought to be proved guilty may not be warn ed and permitted to escape, thus thwarting the ends of justice.
 The remarks of the Judge followed the appearance in court of pr. K. w. Harrison. of Enterprise, Ala. to am swer the charge of refusing to, an- swer questions propounded to him by the grand jury. In stating the case to the court, the District Attorney said that the, witness. presumably, re- fused to answer the questions on the ground that to answer them might i& criminate him.
 Dr. Harrison asked for time to em- pioy counsel and he was given half an hour to reappear and was then given . hearing in the Judges chambers. and 1t being shown to the satisfaction of the court that the. position taken by pr.
