additions to tho Presidents official
family, is to be the handy man of The

Lewis was to-day authorized to attend

gress sat Denver. Col. as the repre-
sentative OF the administration.

Lewis was preferred At first the
President was disinclined to send the
Assistant Attorney but he
later reconsidered the matter. and to-
day 1t was announced at the White
House that the Boston attorney would
go.
Some OF the friends of the admin

good politics. 1t was announced when
he was appointed that there was no
politics in the matter. but It has be-
gun TO appear that Lewis Will be used

CUTTING EXPENSES
Retrenchment Policy Adopted 10y
Commissioners in Hopes OF
Avoiding borrowing.

The Moline city commissioners find
that they are Just about as hard press
ed for funds as are the commissioners
in this city and they are adopting re-
trenchment methods that will hold
down the city's expenses pending the
receipt OF more money. The cutting
down has already had an effect, as is
shown by the expenditures during the
last two months. In May the outlay
was $4,000 and last month IL was
down TO $4,000 1t il hoped by the
council that this amount can be still
further scaled down 80 that the total
for July will not exceed $4,000. II
possible the city will get along as best
it can on its present funds 80 as to
avoid borrowing. In October the sa.
loon licenses and the water rents are
due, and together they will bring into
the city Golfers about $4,000.

Rev. Bruner breaches
In Summer Raiment

Chicago, July 10.-Dressed in a
shirtwaist and a pair of light trou-
sers Rev. Frank c. Bruner of the
LOOMS street Methodist Episcopal
church yesterday morning preached
a hot weather sermon. He assailed
the custom which bound clergymen,
mail carriers and policemen to wear
in tropical temperatures, clothing
that is as hot as perdition."
1.-The tyranny of custom to men in
public life and to some of the best
and most faithful servants of the
public is comparable only to the old
and f1endish thumbscrews," said Mr..
Bruner. What sense is there, for
instance. in compelling our mail car
riers and policemen to wear uni
forms in this sweltering weather
These men are forced to wear coats,
winter thick, just to comply with a
silly notion that they all ought to
look alike.

when it was hot enough to drive

pose that any people in the city Of
Chicago suffered as keenly from the
heat on that day as the street car
