vote of SO to 10 this evening, with the
Democrats voting a unit against IT,
The bill has the support OF Mayor
Mitchell. and is one OF the results OF the
recent investigation of the Brown COM
mittee.
Senator Wagner opposed the meas

was not against the y-ss-you-go
principle. Senator Brown declared his
bill was absolutely necessary 20 restore
the credit Of the city, which. he said
was now UP TO its constitutional DEBT
limit.
Senator Brown, chairman OF the com
mittee which investigated the financial
condition OF New York City. explained
that the bonded debt of the city had in
creased S50.0O0,000 annually for the
last six years, until tire debt limit ilXcd

essary to borrow S70,000000, on which

protest from Senator Robert Wagner,
the minority leader. Mr.. Wagner de
clared the bill was political pap pure
and simple, and protested against It's

Senator Brown defended the bill. He
declared that the city derived great
benefit from these appropriations TO
help upstate roads. declaring tina. since
1910 the value of farm land in this
state had increased 1891, 100000 as the
result of improved roads, and that
therefore, the city was benefited, as this

THE PERFECT DAY.

She always kept everything perfectly clean
From the cellar clear up to the top;
For neatness and order she surely was keen
And no one could get her to stop.
Her husband could never find comfort at home
For fear he would muss up the place
Where his wife with broom and buster would
roam
With a stern sort of look on her face.
She never had time to be reading book,
She never had time for a CALL
Instead she was scrubbing some corner or nook
Or sweeping the stairs or the hall
She swept all her beauty and gladness away,
She swept all the joy out of life
Until she became an automaton gray,
cleaning machine-not a wife
She scrubbed all the love from the heart of
her spouse,
Her children were playless and glum,
She bad her reward-an Immaculate house
Where nobody ever would come
She swept and she busted and scrubbed like
slave,
Till she swept herself into the tomb,
And the monument now at the head of her
grave
Is buster. a brush and broom

The Blood and the Brain.

Among the many important physiological
facts that should be as well known by people
generally as they are by physicians, is the de-
pendence of the brain for it's proper action On
the vitality of the blood If this is impaired,
the blood affords an imperfect stimulus to
the brain, and, as a necessary consequence,
lAnguor and inactivity of the entire nervous
system follows. and tendency to headache or
falntness makes it appearance.
1t is probable that no other medicine ever
produced has done more in the way of revtal-
izing the blood. making it pure and rich, than
Hoods Sarsaparilla. which should certainly be
given trial where there is any reason to be-
lieve that the blood is defective in quality or
deficient in quantity.

and it is time if anyone can do anything
for his country to do it quickly. 1t is
now or never. If Atwood goes as ffer
he will have good chance; he will not
have to stand guard. That is as hi I'd as
anything our boys have to do. Their

corporals not so often. Some of our

from the Head of the Tide, they are all

warm but not hot. | would like to know
what the folks are doing on the other
side among the rebels The guards heard
firing last night. The papers here are
so full of rumors that we can get the
truth until We hear from Maine, so send
me paper once in while. Mother
wrote that Eta wants to know how long
have got to stay and whether | shall
have to fight any or not. These are
questions the Colonel himself could not
answer, but by the appearance of things
we shall not have any fighting to do this
winter, unless the rebels come to Wash
lngton, which they can never take. Wash
lngtoa is surrounded by forts and soldiers
that will burn all the powder Uncle Sam
has before they will give it up. The
Col. thinks we shall be an artillery regi-
ment, which suits me right well, al
though it is sign to me that we shall
have to stay good while, but not to
fight unless attacked After we are

Dear Mother: have just received a

had for long time. I can imagine the

and thinking l was in battle. l wrote
you few days ago that l was not in

not have been much danger. Co.'S. D, l,

of the rebels. The rest of the regiment
went over into the city and was consid-
erably exposed, but no one was badly
hurt. Corporal Merriam had bullet
pass through the cape of his coat.
