we'll trained and efficient. The equip
ment consists of a $4,000 automobile
hose and ladder truck, recently pur-
chased, a La France rotary fire
steamer, ladder trucks drawn by
horses, hose trucks, etc.
Under the direction of Police Chief
William c. Barrow the Americas
police department is one of the best
and most efficient in the state. In fact,
SO dilligent is Chief Barrow, Lieut..
DIN Johnson and the four policemen
constituting the force that the de-
partment is practically self-sustain-
ing, as the cases made by them in re-
corder's court result in fines sufficient
in amount to almost pay the salaries
of the policemen, chief and lieutenant.
This department of the city costs,
for maintenance, from $500 to $4,000
per annum.
The city's waterWorks plant, owned
and controlled by the city and under
the direction and supervision OF City
Engineer John B. Ansley and En-
gineer J. S. Stevens, in charge Of
plant, is excellent in every detail, and
source of revenue and profit to the
city in the sale of water to consumers.
The plant, splendidly equipped with
improved machinery for pumping wa
ter, derives it's water supply from four
fine artesian wells, and springs ada
cent, the wells affording about Is per
cent of the supply. The remainder
comes from pure uncontaminated
springs and flows by gravity through
underground pipes, into the reservoir
from which the supply is pumped
through the mains to every portion OF
Americas.
Recently a modern concrete reser-
voir, or water storage tank of 100000
gallons capacity, has been built at a
| cost of SIS 900, in addition to the
reservoir already in use there, thus
insuring an abundant water supply at
all times. The annual budget appro
PIRATES $4,000 annually for expenses
of the waterworks department. The
water rates are low and citizens use
it literally.
The city owns and maintains two
handsome and we'll kept cemeteries,
one for white people and one for col
ored. Oakgrove Cemetery, of which j.
l. Giddings has been sexton during
many years, was established in 1854,
and is one of the most beautiful and
we'll kept in the South. 1t contains
many handsome monuments. In the
Soldiers Plot are the graves of more
than 300 Confederate soldiers.
There are, upon an average $50
white voters registered in Americas,
though the number has once gone
above the 500 mark.

The city council appropriates an

of the city's fine public schools. This
appropriation raises about $4,000 an

state appropriations from the inspec-
ton of oil and fertilizers, thus adding
$4,000 to $4,000 for the city schools.

AmerlcuS; Government and Departments

1t was in 1855 that a charter was
granted the town of Americas by the
state legislature, and a mayor and
council chosen for the administration
OF affairs. Perry H. Oliver was the
hrst mayor of Americas, elected that
year, while Serving with him as alder
men were, DR.. W. J. Barlow, DR.. A. D.
Bruce, DR.. ]. G. McCrary, w. T. Toole
and John E. Sullivan-all familiar
names in the history of Americas.
Prior to the granting of a charter
and the incorporation of the town, af-
fairs municipal were managed by a
board of councilmen consisting of A.
w. Mckay, T. M. Furlow and DR.. J. S.
Fish, serving the first year, and c. J.
Malone, G. M. Wheeler and Col. w. T.
Davenport the second year and just
prior to the granting of the town
charter.
So much for the mayor and council
of the city of Americas.
At this time in the city's career al.
fairs municipal are administered by IL
mayor and board of six aldermen, ell
ected for two years each; three alder
men being chosen annually The coun-
Gil at present consists of Mayor J. +.
Mathis, Aldermen L. G. Council, Lee
Allen, j. E. Poole, j. S. Bolton, G. w
Riley and c. j. White. H. w. Weaver
is city clery and treasurer and w. d,
Smith, city marshal.
The city maintains a recorders
court with all the powers and juris-
diction usually conferred upon that
tribunal, the mayor of the city serving
as recorder.
The rapid increase in a city's tax
able values best attest its substantial
growth, and in this respect Americas
has a fiattering record, as shown by
the tax assessments during the past
ten years. These annual assessments
are based on about 60 per cent Of
property valuation, and are given for
the following years:

RUSSIAN TARIFF OPPOSED.

ST. PETERSBURG, December %
The progressists and members of the
left will oppose the Octoberists' mo-
ton in the Douma pertaining to re-
taliatory measures against tie United
States.
Yesterday NJ. Guchkoff and others,
representing the Octoberists and Ma
tionalists parties, which control ma
jority in the Douma. introduced a pro-
posal to provide for tariff war sched-
ules applicable to the United States
at the expiration of the treaty of 1892.
The proposal aims at an increase in
the existing Russian duties by 100 per
cent and also to impose duty Of 100
per cent on articles admitted. free UNI
der the present tariff.
The opponents this measure OBJ
ject to it on the ground that the Rus
sian consumers will suffer greatly, es-
pecially in the matter of cotton.
Dispatches from Moscow say that
many of the leading commercial men
decry a tariff war against the United
States.

FOOD FOR KING GEORGE.

LONDON, December 23.-Though
King George and Queen Mary will
spend Christmas day in Calcutta, with
punkah coolies tanning their dining
chamber to keep them cool, they will
have their ordinary Christmas fare of
Old England to grace the board.
From Windsor Castle air-tight cases
of turkeys, goose, pheasants, plum
buildings, mince pies and other dain-
ties have gone out to India, along with
fine display of holly, mistletoe and
other evergreens. No matter where
the court may be, the Christmas cold
joints are always prepared in the
Windsor Castle kitchens, which date
back to the reign of Henry VII.
Besides arranging for the dispatch
of a large number of Christmas cards
and presents at home, their majesties
have also taken out a big assortment
for distribution among their suites and
the nabobs of India.

for London's chief magistrate. The
Lord Mayor receives S50,5O0 allow

the corporation should share these,

the unexpected expenses attached to
their high office.
The question of the Lord Mayors
official salary was raised last in 1873,
but since then the Importance and dig
nifty of the position have greatly in
creased Before 1775 the Lord Mayor
received his income from ancient dues.
For instance, Lord Mayor Brass Cros-

$33, 425, and John Wilkes in 1774 re-
ceived $24,445 and spent 41,13O.
Thence down to 1885 the Lord Mayor
received a fixed stipend of $4,000, with
certain allowances. In 1885 the Lord
Mayor received in all $39,520. In adj
dition, the corporation used to pay
about S16,500 per annum on Mansion

A KANSAS CITY SOPRANO.

LONDON, December 23.-"Not since
Tetrazzini came to London" say the
critics, has any singer so captured
an opera-loving audience as Miss Fe-
licia Lyme" the Kansas City girl dis
covered by Oscar Hammcrstein. All
agree that this twenty-year-old sopre-
no has attracted more attention than
any singer who has yet appeared on
the London Opera House stage since
Hammerstein opened the doors for
business.
Says the unusually undemonstrative
critic of the Standard: 1T is said that
Miss Lyme had only once before APP
peared upon the operate stage, and
then in a much lighter and less exact

AS for Dublin, the same subject has
troubled them for years, and any
amount of intrigu, have centered on
how much money prospective Lord
Mayor could be counted on to spend.
There used to be an allowance of
$4,000, but it has been reduced to
$4,000 in the present term of Lord
Mayor Farrell. Now there is a section
desiring to raise the amount, but an
amendment was carried at the last
meeting of the corporation keeping
the amount as now and declaring that
the balance of $4,000 saved on the al
lowance should be used to improve
working class dwellings. There are
some who advocate doing away with
an allowance altogether, as in Belfast,
and they allege that nothing less than
$2,500,O00 would put the working class
dwellings of Dublin in really good
order.

address and bearing as she approach
ed the garden seat previous to the
delivery of the great aria-upon which
the success of a prima donna stands
or falls-were singularly natural and
unaffected.
Miss Lyne's inexperience of tradi-
tional ways and means went a long
way to establish her in the good graces
of the audience, more especially as
her ignorance of the tricks of the stage
was compensated by an intuitive sense
of dramatic fitness. And when the
opening staccato notes of Care
Nome" floated out into the house not
a few instinctively felt that they were
in the presence of one who would most
of operate history. The freshness
and purity of Miss Lyne's voice and
the extraordinary ease with which she
produces it, whether she is moving
about the stage or otherwise, her fin
ished portamento, the clearness of her
scales, and the way in which-to en-
ploy a cricket metaphor-she hits the
note plumb in the middle, are as un-
questionable as startling.
Miss Lyne's advent established the
conviction that she is an artist who
had inherited or contracted most Of

vices and further that star Of he

DON JAIME MAY BE CURED.

PARIS, December 23.-The Queen of
Spain's second son, Don Jaime, who
this last summer underwent two sue
cessful operations at Fribourg to over
come defective hearing, will return to
the care of Swiss specialists on Janu-
airy IS for further treatment 1t is
probable that the Queen will accom-
pany her child to Switzerland. Several
months ago the royal patient was TAX
en- back to Madrid. 1t was found that
he could both speak and hear better
and had much improved in health, but
it is thought advisable for him to re-
turn again to Switzerland in order to
attempt perfect and permanent cure.

smart Kurfuerstendamm.
Kaiser Wilhelm stands for Moabit.
He likes it because it is filled with
pictures of nice-looking girls staring
at Biedermayer mirrors, of The
Grand Canal, Venice, by Moonlight"
and of THE Interrupted Honeymoon"
Everything is agreeably smooth, smil-
ing and respectfully framed. But the
revolutionary Secession Gallery is very

that is, ponderous naked ladies of

Naturally two galleries so antipodal
get on i'll, and Kaiser Wilhelm's par
tisanship keeps the friction alive 1t
is the eternal quarrel between the
beautiful, the ideal, the antique on
one hand and the ugly, the significant,
the truthful-so they say-the mod
ern, on the other. Being a chivalrous,
romantic man, foe of socialism, of
problem plays and of short-haired
women, Kaiser Wilhelm naturally
stands with the first And as a result
of his championship, superior people
tell him that he is ohildishly ignorant
of everything that concerns new ten,
denotes in art.
Serene Kaiser Wilhelm knows that
and is pleased by it. He does not want
modernity. When he dedicated his ia
nous Sieges Alice, he told gathering
of art experts that no artist has a
right to transgress the limits of the
classical and romantic. He said "the
so-called modern tendencies" are moi
art, and later, when he unveiled the
Kaiser Friedrich statue, he affirmed
that young artists have no right tc
break away from the old traditions
and old schools" Hence, though
Kaiser Wilhelm regularly each year
inspects the Academic Gallery at Mo
abit, he never goes near the Seces
sion.

LONDON, December 23.--Dr Will
mott Evans, well-known English spe-
cialist, has startled even the scientific
world by a book on modern medical
science. In it he contends that en-.
demic disease exerts an enormous in.
fluence on the fate of nations. He
argues that Greece and Rome decayed
through the prevalence of malarial
fever, and the doctors who are free
ing malaria-stricken areas of disease
are the greatest empire builders of
today.
1.-THE supremacy of a nation strong,
wise and healthy" he says, may be
destroyed by the appearance of an
endemic disease, which saps the life
blood of the people, and there is much
foundation for the assertion that
the downfall of Greece was really due
not so much to the superiority of it's
enemies as to the introduction of
malaria into the country. At the pres
ent time Greece is extremely malari-
GUS"
Dr. Evans says there is no evidence
that malaria existed in Greece before
the middle of the fifth century, B. G.,
and suggests that the disease was
brought back from Egypt by Grecian
soldiers and gradually altered the ma
tional character, making the people
feeble and neurotic.
In the case of Rome, malaria was
endemic from the second century, B.
G. "And a careful study OF history will
show that there was a definite de-
graduation of the national character
in spite or the introduction of fresh
blood from the healthier races. The
extravagant cruelty and the absence
of soberness and self-control seen in
the Roman society Of the first century
A. D., may well be applicable as the
result of malaria"
These conclusions have greatly in
creased the interest that is being
taken in European schools for the
study and prevention of tropical dis
cases.
