Oa January 1st the board of pnblicr'woriss will take possessioo of ibe water department, which will then cease to be a department, becoming one of the bareaus af tbe public works board, similar ta the bureau of streets and bureau of engineering. 'Will this boara move into the present quarters of tbe water Gea. Fieid, chairman of the board of public works, was asked this morning.

"No," he replied, "we stay here." 1)0 you propose to make important change's in the water department?" Weil, we will make a thorough reorganization." "Wiil you disturb the present force?" Not where the men are competent, but we ae determined to have competent men. There will be a superintendeut of the bureau, who w.u be responsible to this board for the conduct ol tie entire bureau. There wilt also be bead to the. clerical force. Of course it is premature yet to talk aoout the personnel of the force, but I will say that we think that we wiil be able to save t-he city considerable money.

Now, we may he mistaken aoont tijat. but we ue-lieve'vve are oing'to do so." Will the room now occupied by tre water department continue to be ued uy the br.reau "1 scarcely think it will be necessary. There is a good deal of room over there now being used by tne department, and we think that we will not need so much tocm for the water bureau. From time to time, as necessity arises, tnis surplus room can be fjiven over to other departments or branches oi city go-ernm-em." The General was as'sed whether the beard hail on the mar. lor lendent of the bureau, but he said: That is premature." "Me will be a good man.

and you will-say -so when you ko.ow who he is," he added. As to future plans water rates and general vunnia; of the department, tfce General said he was net yet prepared to say 1 ro in r.rie. JPa. -N v. ft A ereat religious revival is In i this c.ty uader the feu perinteul-.

Included in the mention of Erie's imperative wants, should have been an auditorium, capable of accommodating from four to fie thousand persons. Its need was keenly felt on Sunday afternoon ana evening, when tae Opera House was found not sufficiently commodious tor the revival services. A much larger piace would have been densely packed.

The zeal for office under the Incoming Administration is such that all the places have already been filled, that Is, by applicants. Indeed, more than filled, because at least half a dozen earnest Cleveland workers desire each of tne few positions.

He is the ablest democratic newspaper candidate in this part of Pennsylvania, and on the score of services rendered during the late campaign merits beyou i all others the appointment be proposes seeking.

The pu may judge if "the missions the Presbj tei ian churches of Australia arid tae New Hebrides are wrought at a max-iiium expense and a minimum of results." Vtiiiii the missionaries are paid at from 175 tkiiliCO er annum, with .1 extra yeaily fee ii- heip with the education of each child njay have, till thry reach 14 years of age. But ejf this saiary each missionary has to pay for $1 suwpiies and wants of himseif and amily.

AVe praise the Lord for such grand results, and press forward to occupy as soon as possible the whole field for Jesus Christ. j-Sixth Neitner Mr.

Riordan nor any other raan ever did in the Victorian church assembly charge me, nor any of our New Hebrides riissionaries, with selfish extravagance. The tiing Is utterly impossiole.as each has to take cjreat care to be able to live at all on his ste all salary, from which he has to purchase food, in Sydney, nearly 1,400 miles cfistant from our nearest island, and 1,800 fjom farthest away from itt rjSeventh Of the money God led his people lij Britain 1o give ani send me voluntarily In answer to prayer and public pleading tor the iriew mission ship for the New Hebrides, I did nit receive one cent ol commission, thcugh lyjr. Kiordan says I got 500, nor would I ever tke one cent of commission from any money 84 given in the Lord's work. Instead oft taking a commission, by my own money got through the publication of my autobiography i Britain, God enabled me to give 5,500 to the funds of our mission, and I wisn It had been 10 times more to enable us to biild our much needed" new mission ship and oocupy the whole field with tbe teaching of I Jfcsus Christ. I gave all I had received to the moderator of our cuuch assembly on my re-tjjrn from Britain, to be kept by it and used osfly for the special purposes for which it was g'freh.

On receiving the estimates for ooCr new vessel, we found that wStifi steam auxiliary power we Wuld require 1,000 more per annum to keep her than we had raised by our Sabbath srttiools to keep our sailing mission ship, the Eiespring, and as we could not rais! it the assembly invested the money, its interest wich is added to the capital, till we see if GA will not lead some other church to come tatour help with the extra thousand, and enable us to keep our new mission ship. Eighth I am yet the missionary inchajrge olf-Anejva, which my wife and I left three yatrs ago, being withdrawn from it by our cborch assembly, for a tinfe as its agent and tb agent of the Assembly of the Federated Fstsbyterlan Churehesof Australasla.to plead tbS cause of the Mission and raise funds for ittf jsupport and extension, as my commission Irjim them proves. Since I entered on this work we have, by God's blessing opened and occupied eight new stations by wnlte missionaries and many by native teachers we have edicated for the work. Now we are making a irreat effort to get six or seven more missionaries to be able to occupy the whole field In he work of our dear Lord Jesus. ISinth While1 in Australia as the Assembly's agjtnt worfeing for the mission, it provides with a house, but as I am always for it travelingin mission interests, I am seldom at bojiie.

I only saw my tainily once in nine uicjflths last year. ldoubt If regarding anything Mr. Riordan caa now speak the I pity him and pray Jeiiis to have mercy on him. Lorin NATURAL FRUIT FLAVORS. lAniUa Lemon Orane Aimcmd Rase etc Of perfect p'arityi.

Eidred said that while he was personally opposed Co keeping the hduse open Sunday nights, the demand for Sunday night entertainments of a proper character was rapidly increasing in force and that the patrons of the Lyceum were particularly desirous of hav ing the privilege of spending Sunday eight listening to selected vocal and instrumental music. The entertainment would be of a character that would be elevating and not a tall offensive to the church-going people. For that reason there could be no moral objection to opening the theatre Sunday mights. Mayor declined to issue the permit without first consulting and obtaining tbe opicion of the Corporation Counsel as to the restrictions placed on theatres Sundays. He referred Mr.

Eldred to Mr. Browne. "I shall have to refuse your request," said the Mayor pleasantly, "because I refused a similar request made by Mr. Griffin for a permit toehold Sunday night concerts at Shea's Music Hall."

THE COUNCIMEN. Michigan street Pav nsrj Matter Delayed Au Klectrie Light Knocked Out. The 'first step in the way of disapproval taken by the Board of Councilmen this: afternoon was in reference to a resolution of the aldermen in favoi? of directing tbe Board ot Public Works to contract with the Buffalo General Electric Light Co. for the placing iof an electric light at tbe corner of Eimwood avenue and Allen street, all unnecessary gaB lights to be discontinued. Secretary Krumhelz the Buffalo Gaslight cornrjariy appeared; ad stated that the proposed change would mean an additional expense of .44 a year.

Upon this representation, the board voted to disapprove the change. Upon reqnest of Councilman Maher, the aldermanic resolution in favor ot repaving Michigan street, from I Eik to Scott street, was laid over iof three weeks. Mr. Maher stated that i a small section of the street at Scott street had been omitted.

It Is one of the fortunate things for Buffalo," said one pt the Interested observers in the city's booming growth, "(that It is build lng up with a good large centre. There is no tour-corners centre to the fity such as you Cud in smaller places Rochester for instance.

Its centre is a circle nearly or quije half a mile in diameter. There is the city hall and county buildings on one ede of the circle; there are the Central, Erie and other railroad terminals on the opposite side; then the Library building. High School and Chippewa Market are the uptown offset, to the Lackawanna, and Reading statjons, steamboat offices and othet shipping interests on lower Main and Washington streets Just inside the boundaries of the circle yoo will find soon the new postofflce and the new Bank ot Commerce buildine; as you already do the magnificent Erie County Savings Bank building, the Genesee, new Tifft, Mansion and Broe-zel hotels. The costly office and business blocks going up or planned' are making no effort to huddle at any given point, and, as a result. Buffalo Is acquiring; a commodious business centre, about which a city of a million inhabitants may as easily grow as one of three nundred thousand." Don't Want to Pay the Tax.
