"Archie Butt was a major to the last.
God never made a finer nobleman than
he. The sight of that man, calm, gentle,
and yet firm as a rock, will never leave
me. The American army is honored by
him, and the way he showed some of
the other men to behave when women
and children were suffering that awful
mental fear that came when we had to
be huddled in those boats. Major Butt
was near me and / know very nearly
everything he did.
"When the order came to take to the
boats, he became as one in supreme com
mand You would have thought he was
at White House reception, so cool and
calm was he. When the time came, he
was man to be feared. In one of the
earlier boats, 50 women. it seemed, were
about to be lowered, when a man, sud
denly panic stricken, ran to the stern

SALARIES REMAIN
WITHOUT CHANGE
Slimly Attended City Meeting Last
Evening Voted to Keep Amounts
Same as Last Year.

Less than thirty-fve voters, in fact
only thirty three by actual count, were
out for the annual city meeting in the
opera house last evening. Three of the
four articles dealt with the compensa-
ton of city officials, and the pay in the
case Of every official remained unchanged,
although short debate over the ques-
tion of increasing the pay of the as
SCISSORS from $3.50 per day to $4 took
place when the third article was read.
The discussion had no semblance of ex-
citement, and the meeting was alto
gether harmonious from the start.
Article one was quickly disposed OF
when F. G. Howland was elected moder-
ator. As the result of action taken on
the second article. the pay Of the mayor
is to remain at $500 per year, while the
city clerk and treasurer will continue
TO receive $3.50 each year for his services.
The third article had to do with the
compensation of aldermen, auditors and
assessors. The pay of the aldermen is
limited in the city ordinance to 30 cents
per hour, and this compensation will con-
tinue in force during the coming year az
the result of the unanimous vote. Last
year the auditors received 40 cents per
hour for their work, and it was the
unanimous sentiment of the meeting
that this compensation should be the
rule for the next twelve months.
When that part OF the third article
relating TO the pay of the assessors came
before the meeting, j. p Marr believed
that the usual compensation should more
nearly approach that Of the auditors and
made motion that they be paid "a per
day. His motion was seconded by Daniel
!. Sullivan Mr.. Mari made an amend
ment to the motion. which provided that
the assessors should receive the same
salary as at present. His amendmens
was seconded by James Scott The orig
inal motion and the amendment were
carried by q voice vote with few dissen
sions
Under the fourth article no further
business was brought up. and the motion
to adjourn was carried. the meeting clos
ing at o'clock.
