Utilizing European Methods.

Frank Putnam i'm National Magazine.
Here. in substance. is what l recon-
mended to my city after an Investigation
of the governments of various European
cities-set down here by way of suggestion
to other cities OF our size AID prospective
future growth:
First-That the term Of office of mayor
and commissioners or councilmen be ex-
tended from two years to four, in order
that men in office may have time to get at
least fairly started upon an intelligent
constructive policy before being called
upon to run the gauntlet of partisan at
tack when seeking reelection.
Second-That of our four commissioners.
only one be elected each year. leaving at
all times three h%oldover TENDERS in the
affairs and pledged to settled policies. so
that We may hope for continuity of such
policies, instead of being, as now, in cor
statss hazard of sudden. complete and rad
zeal consequent upon the election
OF an entire new government at the end
OF any tw0-year period.
T~hird-Thatw we issue municipal bonds to
or near the limit. each year. until with
the money so obtained we shall have COM
pleted our foundation laying-of water
mains. sanitary and storm sewers. pave
ments. etc. and that thereafter as speed
lily as possible the city. issue bonds with
which to take over all privately owned
public utilities in order that the people as a
whole mays obtain such benefits as i'm
surplus. It any. go into the municipal
treasury to supplement revenues derived
from taxation.
Fourth-That the city employ the best
obtainable harbor engineer to make a
thorough study of modern German har-
bors. in order to MAKE sure that in the de-
velopment of Houston's big inland harhor
none of the latest and hest harbor equip
ment shall be wanting.
Fifth-That the city government create
a cst~y-planning commission. to work out

and beauty for all the varied interests and

Furnishing Wife 6eaters.
From the Los Angeles Times.

The practical operation OF a Cali
fornia state law enacted two years ago,
imposing Jail sentences on wife beat
ers, with the added penalty Of requir-
ing them to work on the public roads.
has brought about a peculiar state OF
affairs that puts the judges in a guam
dairy when sentence is to be passed.
Many of the wives are using the new
law to Jail their husbands for as long
q: time as six months on second and
:aird o%ffenses, n then collect the
$50 a day for their maintenance.
This is about as much as the ordin,
ary wife beating variety Of husband
would earn anyhow. so the wives are
happy.
they not only were sure of their in
come. but they always knew where
their husbands were nights.
The numerous cases of wife beating
coming to the attention of h judges
have decided them to sift each charge
carefully before sentencing the culprits
urIer the new law.
.rhe system. however. has made wife
beating. according to judges. such a
luxury that 1t is now beyond the reach
OF the ordinary man.

For the past Ave years the republican

LONDON, July 12.-The Marquis
of Hartford. who as the Earl Of Var
mouth married Alice Thaw. con-
trives in the most ingenious fashion
to keep continually in the public eye.
After setting all London talking over
his engagement to the very rich, ell
derby widow, Mrs. Mosscockle, he re-
awakens interest, just as the excite
ment was waning, by announcing
that the marriage will not take place.
No indication has been given in the
public prints of any reason for the
broken betrothal or which side
snapped the knot. As matter of
fact, third person interviewed: he
is a Mr. Sparrow. Mrs. Moss
cookies father. As she is about 20
II was supposed that her progenitor
had long since joined the great ma
jOrity, but the old gentleman is very
spry and wide-awake and all along
has been opposed To the match.
He caused very minute inquiries
to he made both in England and in
America in regard To the Marquis
life when he was the husband of
Alice Thaw and came to the conClu-
sion that Hartford would be an un-
desirable son-in-law. He spoke very
plainly to his daughter on the mat
ter This coupled with the fact that
Lord Hartford was somewhat frac-
tious over financial matters, stand
ing out for a settlement of $3.50, 900,
finally induced Mrs, MOsscockle to
call off the engagement.
The Marquis is taking It very well
indeed and proudly AYERS that he OBJ
tanned $4,000 from his late fiancee.
