SOON PAVING WILL COMMENCE

Advertising for bids for street
paving will commence after the meet
ing of the council next Thursday
night. 1t may look to some that
there has been much delay in getting
down to the practical work of paw
ing, but such is not the case. The
old slow-going city charter under
which the council is obliged to work
makes It necessary to take weeks
to get ready to do paving which,
under an up-to-date charter, could
be done in a quarter of the time,
Everybody is anxious to see the good
work of laying pavement commenced,
and TO most people it is hard for
them to understand why such good

Uncle Joe's Old Faithful.

Three or four finely turned gavels
of rare woods lie on the speakers
table, but he will have none Of them.
A well-worn, knotty hammer of COM
mon hardwood, with handle made
from a twisted root, is his favorite,
There is not the slightest likelihood
of such a gavel breaking, even under
the strain imposed by Uncle Joe's
mighty left hand, but he keeps the
fancy ones to be used by members
whom he calls to the chair in his
absence.

Didn't that remind you of old

Of complaints of violations OF

grand jury, to extend our moral
support to the officers OF our
cities who are trying to enforce

Jurisdictions, for it seems de-
plorable that such large expense

Washington Sidelights.

which furnishes excellent reading
for those who take an interest in
conditions around Washington. Be

William Howard Taft, Insurgent.
How many persons recall that not
more than four years ago William
Howard Taft was one of the leading
insurgents in the republican party?
He was then secretary Of war, but
not so prominent candidate for
president as he became a few months
later. However. he was taking an
active part in politics, He went out
into Ohio and delivered what was
afterwards known as the famous
Akron speech, in which he bolted the
nomination of Myron T. Herrick as
the republican candidate for govern
or. and advised against his election,
And was It not in the same speech
that he denounced Boss Cox, of Gin
cinnati who had brought about the
nomination Of Herrick? Indeed it
was, And that speech did the bust
ness for Herrick, for Pattison, the
democrat, was elected governor of
Ohio In those days William II.

In Quaint Old Venice.

Venice, May 10.-Of all the cities of
the earth this is the most unique, for
it is built out in the Adriatic sea on
100 small islands, about ten miles from
the mainland. The city is connected
by 45O public bridges so that the
streets are made of water, and gon-
dolas are the vehicles for travel.
Horses and carriages have never
been seen in the streets of this an
cient city. Venice was founded by a
few men seeking an escape from
Attila who was looked upon as the
'scourge of God" This Venetian city
withstood the storms and attacks Of
enemies for over a dozen centuries,
and still defes the sea that constantly
flows through its streets.
The first bank of deposit in Europe
was started in this city, and here the
first newspaper known to the world
was printed in ST. Marks square for a
coin, called The Gazetta. Venice was
the first town in Italy to print books.
On the Grand canal is the Rialto
high bridge mentioned by Shakespeare,
which is curious and attractive but
worn by the lapse of years.
Rogers says, in describing Venice:
There is a glorious city in the sea.
The sea is in the broad, the narrow
streets,
Ebbing and flowing; and the salt sea-
weed
Clings to the marble of her palaces.
No trace of man, no footsteps to and
fro,
Lead to her gates. The path lies DER
the sea
Invisible; and from the land we went,
AS to a floating city-steering in
And gliding up her streets as in a
dream"
It's a Slow Life.
1t is strange! All through the city
are the waterways for the gondolas,
which are the only means of transpor-
tation. How would Norfolk people
like to live in such a city? Always

bear one away to business or the

The program for commencement is
now being planned and will soon be

raised, we did not expect nearly as
large a class completing the work as
our records show we will have. This

among the business people Monday

which to purchase new ball suits,

in the games. Our people responder
to the call literally and in the course
of an hour or two nearly $3.50 was

Unless we can get pressure with

The mayor also believed it would
cost more to fix the pump in tiptop
shape before the city could have the
plant in first class condition.
The city street sprinkler was shut
off during the afternoon to save water.
The electric pump is 490-gallon
capacity machine and the city steam
pump about 500 gallons" said one
man, who has been running the pumps,

standpipe filled well enough to pro-
tect the town against fire. The pumps
haven't the capacity to meet the de-

have fire. there'd be serious conse.

Norfolk Has Water Famine.

If Norfolk had had a fire Friday
night or Saturday, or if it has one to-
night, there would have been and
there will be serious danger. There
isn't enough water in the standpipe to
play tag with the smallest kind of a
flame. Residents living near the
standpipe can't get a drop of water
and there's only a little trickle in
other parts of town, when the hose is
turned on. So your towns in danger.
The city took back the water pump
ing proposition to its own account
some weeks ago, and hasn't been able
TO maintain pressure.
Part of the time the city buys cleo
trio power but it has its own steam
pump at the water works. Supervi-
sion of the pressure rests entirely with
the city.

Conservatory Commencement.

The final program of graduation of
students from the Norfolk branch of
the Western Conservatory of Music
of Chicago was rendered at the Audi
forum Thursday evening before an
appreciative and enthusiastic audi
enCe.
The graduates were Misses Grace
Hills, May Schwenk and Emma Lane.
The musical program by the graduates
and post-graduates was very fine. The
post-graduates taking part were Mrs.
Lily JaycoX-Mitchell of Pilger, Oscar
Schavland of Newman Grove, Edyth
Nelson. Ulrich of Plainview, Harold NJ.
Meadow Grove.
DR.. Tindall, in a neat and instruc-
tive address presented the diplomas
to the graduates, also presented three
books of musical information to three
members of the conservatory for pune
tuality of attendance, not having
missed a regular lesson during the
year: Misses Elva Templeton of Win
side, Linda Magdanz and Ruth In
helder of Pierce. The gold medal was
presented to Oscar Schayland, class of
1906, as reward of merit for progress
in music since graduation. An unus-
ual feature of the years course was
the booklet of recitals during the year
past, containing the alumni roster,
prepared by Mrs. Cora A. Beels, the
interstate teacher and director, to
whose interchangeable labors the success
of the institution is due.
