BLUFF ROAD ENJOiNED
Residents of East Second street and
North Aberdeen Appeal to Court
to Stop Road

injunction proceedings We're brought
Tuesday against this city and the
suit served on city officials to prevent
the building of the proposed road
around Dabney bluff. The city coun-
Gil at a special meeting Saturday
night decided to go ahead with the
road and to condemn one or two small
sections of right-of-way which had
not been donated.
Tuesday the property owners of
North Aberdeen, through their attor-
ney, A. M. Wade, began Injunction
proceedings. The suit is brought in
the name of Anthony Damito. The
grounds set up for asking the injunc-
ton are that the fund to build the
road will have to come out of the
general expense fund, and the North
Aberdeen property owners object to
it being used for purpose which
will not benefit them. Another and
the main contention, is that the coun-
Gil is violating the state laws re-
lating to such improvements, that
improvements cannot cost more than
one and One-half per cent of the as
sessed valuation of the property to
be benefited unless such Improvement
is submitted to vote of the people,
and then the cost cannot exceed
per cent of the assessed valuation.
1t is set forth that the cost will even
exceed the maximum figure which
the law allows when the citizens are
allowed to vote on the proposed i'm
provement. In this case, it is set
forth, there is no plan for an cleo
ton.
The writ is returnable next Satur-
day, January IA, when the matter
will be heard in the Superior court

In Plain English.

1t was sunset in England The
poem alleges that the sun belonged
to England-but it is also used by the
rest of the world. A young woman
named Bessie went to see the sexton
and asked him not to ring the curfew
because her sweetheart was in prison
and they. were going to execute him
at curfew. The sexton did not ask
her what kind of judge would issue
such a decision, but explained that
he couldn't afford to lose his daily
wages. So Bessie went UP in the bel
fry and held the clapper of the bell.
Later she met Oliver Cromwell and
gave him the particulars. Oliver said
he guessed 1t was one on him. Later
Bessie and her lover got married and
toured the country as Swiss bell ring
ers, and subsequently went into vaude-
vile and played Listen to the Mock
ing Bird" on strings of sleigh bells.
Cromwell had mole on his check,
but he recognized Bessie as a mill

SPIDERS OF THE ARGENTINE
Their Dew-Laden Webs Compelled the
Authorities to Put Telegraph
Wires Under Ground.

Spiders once caused the Argentine
republic not little trouble. Not that
they were in any way dangerous or
destructive in themselves. The griev-
ance was simply that they would spin
webs.
Anyone who has gone across the
fields on an autumn morning before
the sun has dried the grass will re-
member how the dew sparkled on the
spiders webs stretched across the
grass and the bushes. 1t was just
this dew on the webs that t-caused the
trouble in the Argentine republic.
There the web spinning spiders are
so plentiful that they have, on one &C.
cation at least, completely demoral
lied the telegraph service. They
would spin their webs across the tele-
graph lines, and as soon as dew fell or
a shower came up every microscopic
thread with which the wires abound
ed became wet and established a
minute leak. The effect of millions OF
these leaks was practically to stop
the operation of the lines.
The, government telegraph depart
ment, especially IN Buenos Ayres, was
put to much Inconvenience A number
of expedients were tried, but to no
purpose, until at last on one line as a
last resort it was decided to connect
Buenos Ayres and Rosario by an un-
derground cable about two hundred
and fifty miles long On this impor-
tant line some years ago the effect of
the webs was to cut down the speed of
working from three or four hundred
messages an hour to thirty.

''The Perfume Bath" as title for
burlesque would seemingly suggest
possibilities for interesting complica-
tions. 1t is claimed that these possi-
bilities are made the most of in "The
Brigadiers'', annuonced at the Star
Theatre next week. The plot of "The
Perfume Bath" while thin enough not
to cause any particular mental strain
in following it, nevertheless, carries
just thread enough to string many
laughable situations upon, and leaves
the essential openings for the neces-
sary musical and dancing numbers.
William Maussey, Ali Hunter, Avid
Ali, William McAvoy and ALT Bonner
are the men to whom is intrusted the
humor and comedy, while Anna Meek

OXYGEN TO KEEP FISH ALIVE
Method Adopted to Send Specimens
From New York to Wealthy
German Collector.

When the North German-Lloyd
steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
leaves port for Bremen, sixteen her
metically sealed jars, each containing
live fish intended for the private aqua
rum of Emil Gundlacher, wealthy
resident of Gehlberg, Germany, will re-
pose on the shelves in the purser's
room. 1t is because of the keen de-
sire of Herr Gundlaeher to obtain live
American fish, which he has failed to
90 after several attempts, that the ex-
pertinent of sending them in these
sealed jars (tried once before sue
cessfully), is to be again essayed.
The secret lies in forcing enough
oxygen into the jars to keep the fish
alive. The jars placed on the Kaiser
will each be half full Of water After
the fish are placed in the jars at the
New York Aquarium, one hour before
sailing, the director of the aquarium
will force enough oxygen into each
jar to last the fish confined in it for
twelve days.
AS the journey from this port to
Bremen and then to Gehlberg is not
expected to take more than eight days
all told, the fish are expected to be in
lively condition when received by
Herr Gundlacher. In return he has
promised to send some fine specimens
of German fish to the New York
AQUARIUM.
