 Building Inspector.

Mayor Quigley has made a number of important appointments during the week end, the chief selection being of Councilman A. N. Rutherford to succeed August Bergstrom as build- ing inspector. 1t was predicted that the axe would fall on Bergstrom' S head. as Mayor Quigley was known to be bitterly opposed to his contin- uing in office.

TRY ID PREVENT
 HIGH FOOD PRICES
Austrian Government Takes Steps to Keep Bread on
 Customary Scale

Venice. November 5.-tVia Paris, 5:1C D. m.)-Both the Austrian and Fun garian governments are making des- perate efforts to prevent further in- creases in food prices
 The Austrian ministry recently di- rected that after December 1 bread shall contain not more than 10 per cent of wheat flour or rye meal the remainder. to consist of barley maize or potato meal. The decree prohibits exchanging stale white bread at the bakeries or returning this bread
 To prevent the wasting of flour the government has ordered mills to re- strict the quantity of the finest grades because the milling of these produces a smaller percentage of flour than do coarser grades.
 In Hungary the governments efforts to restrain landed proprietors who are said to be demanding exorbitant prices for grain, have failed. The ministry has warned farmers that steps will be taken to import flour from America Meanwhile military authorities have requisitioned large quantities of flour, paying considerably below the market price for 1t. As a consequence the grain trade of Hungary Is at a com plete standstill.
 As the military must have flour soon the whole situation is becoming very acute

Olden Tips
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
 That tip was easily earned which John- sor and Boswell bestowed upon the boy who rowed them from the Temple stairs to Greenwich July 30, 176s The two men were discussing the value of the Greek and Latin languages. Boswell thought that a man could go through life very comfortably without learning. Why, sir said Johnson, that may be true in cases where learning cannot possibly be of any use; for instance, this boy rows us as well without learning, as If he could sing the song of Orpheus to the Argo- nauts, who were the first sailors" Then turning to the boy, he asked, What would you give, my lad. to know about the Argonauts?" Sir was the reply, T would give what I have" The answer pleased Johnson nightly, and the boy got double fare.
 The tips or walls" of the eighteenth century were by no means confined to inns. One traveller through this country I,e Blanc. says that. after dining with a friend, you'll find all the servants drawn
 up in the passage like a file of musket- eers, from the house steward down to the lowest livery servant. and each of them holds out his hand to you in as deliberate manner as the servants in cur inns on the like occasions" The mas ter of the house turned his head away pretending not to be aware of what was going forward Lord Hervey records that George IFS Queen thought 1t necessary to give vails in town as well as in the country, but the King told her she was a fool to do so

HOUSE MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS
 IS TWENTY-FOUR

New York. November 6.-The mem bership of the sixty-fourth Congress l as the result of Tuesdays election, ex cluding few contests still in doubt, will be as follows:
 House of Representatives: Democrats, 229, republicans, 196, pro- gressiyes, 2; socialist 1 independent, l; democratic majority. 24.
 Senate:
 Democrats, 5s; republicans, 3s, pro- gressive, l; democratic majority, 13.
 Senatorial contests still in doubt to- night were in Colorado, Nevada and Wisconsin. Democratic leaders still claimed the election of Charles s. Thom- as over Hubert Work in Colorado, and of Francis D. Newlands over Samuel platt in Nevada Republican leaders claimed the election of Francis F. Me- Govern over Paul A Husting, demo- crat, In Wisconsin. but through an er- TOT in counting returns. discovered late in the day, an apparent majority for McGovern had been swept away, leav- ing the situation much in doubt.
 The result in only one congressional district was undetermined tonight In the First New York district Frederick c. Hicks, republican, and Representa- tive Lathrop Brown were running on virtually even terms The outcome probably will not be known until an official count is made.
 In computing the democratic total in the House at 229. William Kettner of the Eleventh California district. who also ran on the progressive ticket and ranks as a progressive in the present |. l. ,l-R-s party.
 Representative John l. Nolan, of the Tenth California district. who ran on the republican and progressive tickets, and was elected to the present Congress as a progressive republican, Is classed with the republicans. Representative William Kent of the First California district is ranked as an independent. This would give the progressives seven members of the House.
