In connection with this I beg to say that I have so judiciously managed the affairs of this institution that each month shows a balance to my credit.

Other things the doctor wanted were new steamers in the cook-room, and a new system of ventilation. The latter was referred to the Investigating committee. Th Uni trims committee recommended that lien. 1 nomas O. Osborne, for years the United States Minister to the Argentine Republic, tells of the financial disasters that befell that country as the result of a belief in the purchasing power of paper in a way that may benefit some Americans who are just now trying to make themselves and others believe that all that is necessary to make a dollar is to put the government's stamp on paper seem to indicate that it does.

Sec 1 reads as follows Be it enacted by the People of the Stat of Illinois represented in the General Assembly, That every ininin, quarrying, lumbering, mercantile, steel, electric, and elevated rail-way, steamboat, telegraph, telephone, and municipal corporation, and every incorporated express company and water company shall pay weekly ench and every employe engaged in its business the wafe9 earned by such employe to within Bix days of the date of such payment; provided, however, that if at any payment any employe shall be absent from his regular place of labor he shall be entitled to 6aid payment at any time thereafter upon demand.

There was full meeting of the Finance committee of the Council yesterday to con-Biilcr the various schemes for the improvement of tho water supply. It was expected the engineers and the Commissioner of rub-lie Works and perhaps the Chairman of the committee would bo able to throw some light on tho obscurities and intrieaciesof the various works now in progress and for which the city is paying mot generously. But those who thus expected were doomed to disappointment. Aid. Kent, one of the most intelligent members of the committee, summed up the bility to pay all the men on the city pay toIIm ench u-eek.

McDonald, and others from operating a racetrack on the old Corrigan grounds near Garfield Park. The court denied the application on the ground that it was a police regulation and that he could not decide beforehand whether the defendants would follow Corri or a piece of depreciated metaL The trouble began," said Gen. Osborne, in 1885. The Argentine Republic started a banking system like ours in all respects save that interest on the bonds was made payable in paper instead of in gold. The banks were afterward given permission to issue bills, dollar for dollar, of their published capital.

Branch banks in all the provinces were established, and these soon began to overissue bills, which naturally resulted in an appalling depreciation in the currency. Speculation ran high and disaster was on every hand. Finally the government issued negotiations be entered into with the city authorities with a view of taking up the stone pavement around the County Building and putting down asphalt. The purpose of this is to stop the noise in the streets. Police Chances and Fines Imposed.

Superintendent of Police McClanghry issued a general order yesterday, based on the findings of the Police Trial Board, discharging Patrolman James Devine. First Precinct, for intoxication and entering saloon not in the discharge of his duty: discharging Patrolman Richard Swan, First Precinct, for intoxication and conduct unbecoming an officer: and Patrobnan fililo H. Wheadon, Twenty-fifth Precinct, for absence from duty -without leave; lining Patrolman James O'Keefe, Sixteenth Precinct, five days' Day for siiioliimr while on dutv and lounirinir: fining Michael Sullivan, Sixteenth Precinct, ten days' pay for sleeping while on duty fining Patrick J. O'Rourke, Nineteenth Precinct, ten days' pay for would be another serious obstacle. I am told that it would cost $5,000 to $0,000 a month or $70,000 a year.

Tho law would seem to apply to the county as well as the city, for it is certainly a municipal corporation. Railroads are not included in the list perhaps because the number of employes is so great. The number employed by any railroad here cannot be greater than the number on the city's pay-roll for the same territory, and the city has as good right to be excepted from the operation of tho law as any such corporation. To give an opinion of the law off-hand, I don't think it amounts to much. It seems to me to be an example of special or class legislation and therefore unconstitutional." Assistant County Attorney Villiams was not prepared to admit that the county was a municipal corporation within the meaning of the law, but said he would not givo a positive opinion before giving the matter more consideration.

The Election Commissioners sent down a paper money force money every one being required by law to accept it. The issue was coincident with a promise to resume specie payment in two years' time. The force money was taken, but in years the government was worse off than before and specie payment impossible, of course. There were two banks, one a provincial concern and the other a national bank, which issued no money. They did, however, issue bonds called cedulas, bearing 6 per cent interest.

Now, there were sharpers abroad in Argentine as there are in other countries. These fellows would buy land say of three leagues extent for $100,000. To one of the banks they gan in the conduct of the business and create a nuisance or not. The court also held that a race-track was not a nuisance per se, and that the court was not sitting to-prevent gambling and the keeping of improper houses, which was a duty of the police authorities. In the forenoon Mr.

Trumbull concluded his talk with the contention that the racetrack did not encroach upon the rights of the Park Commissioners because no building line was ever established, nor had the Commissioners any control over the 400 feet in question, as they never took any, steps to enforce the ordinance giving them such rights.

Charles Marr's Unpleasant Experience.

A Prize of 100,000 Francs Offered to Whoever Shall Discover Means of Communicating with a New World, Planet, or Star Mars Suggested as the Most Convenient Heavenly Body Difficulties That Lie in the Path of Such an Experiment. A Paris cablegram says a French nun has bequeathed 100,000 francs to the Academy of Science, to be given as a prize to any one who shall discover any means of communicating with another world, planet, or star. The planet Mars was suggested in the will as the most convenient heavenly body on which to make the experiment. This proposition may seem ridiculous, but it is not any more so than the idea of James Lick, the founder of the Lick Observatory," said a man well versed in starry lore. The Lick bequest to build the great telescope was intended to establish the fact whether not the moon is inhabited.

Now let us consider the difficulties in the way of this project. The distance of the earth from the moon may be stated in round numbers as 240,000 miles. It is a fact recognized in military science that a man can be fairly distinguished by the eye at a mile's distance. In making calculations regarding vision it is the general rule to estimate that to be seen a mile away an object must be half a yard wide. The best telescope has a magnifying power of 2,000 diameters.

Half the distance to the moon is 120,000 miles. Divide this by 2,000, the magnifying power of the glass, and you get sixty yards as the minimum size of an object In the moon discernible by the aid of the telescope from the earth. So an object must be 180 feet wide or thick to be more than an appreciable dot. I have made the most liberal allowances in this computation. The atmospheric conditions must be perfect and 2,000 is an unusually high power to be used by a working astronomer.

"If an object must be 180 feet thick to be seen from the earth on the moon it would be best to make it 200 feet. To give the inhabitants of the moon an idea that there are intelligent beings on earth it would be necessary to place, say, three objects in view of the moon's people let them remain for a time arranged at tho angles of a triangle. Then they might be changed so as to be in a straight line. The man in the moon seeing these phenomena might conclude that there were intelligent beings on earth and arrange for some corresponding signal to the inhabitants of earth. But, while this seems possible, it shows weekly pay-roll yesterday afternoon, the first probably ever made in the City Hall.

At the Controller's office it was said that the payroll undoubtedly would be sent back. WEST-SIDERS ARE INDIGNANT. Wednesday night Charles Marr. who lives on Groenwood avenue, came home from his work at 11 o'clock and found his wife dead in her bed. Sergt.

Clancy of Grand Crossing heard of the event and arrested Marr. A friend of tho latter informed Deputy Coroner McSwain, who went to the station to get Marr out. McSwain says Sergt. Clancy told him if he would (-wear in a jury he would then release Marr. McSwain hurried about the neighborhood and awoko six good citizens and two doctors.

It was early in the morning when McSwain armed with a physician's certificate and a jury sworn in succeeded in obtaining tho release of his friend.

He plunged into a list of authorities which he declared maintained this position. He claimed that the affidavits showed beyond a doubt that the value of property in the neighborhood would be depreciated. Clarence Knight, one of the attorneys for defendants, took the position that if the They Will Demand Council Action Regarding lietter Transportation.

There was much comment around the City Hall yesterday regarding the action of the eituation at the close of the meeting briefly and pithily by saying We are as wisu now as when we came to the meeting, but we have recommended tho expenditure of $20,000 more, because one of the engineers promises sumo relief three months hence." Engineer Feind did most of the explaining, lie could not say when the Onderdonk tunnel would bo completed. He would not venture a prediction on it within two months. The work was only progressing from one face, the thore face and outward. Jame3 Onderdonk had told the committee that the progress was at the rate of twenty feet per day. Mr.

Feind begged to disagree with Mr. Onderdonk. Work was progressing only at the rate of 1QH feet per day on an average. July 4, when the last measurement was taken, there remained lineal feet of tunnel to be cut before the intermediate two and one-half mile crib could be reached. That would take 170 days and unless the contractor could get to tunneling from thecrib face shoreward, the work would not be completed before Dec.

22. If the work could begin at the crib face, it might bo finished before Nov. 1. But Mr. Feind was not hopeful.

Aid. O'Neill, Aid. Kent, and others tried to get the engineer to name the day at which he could with certainty say the tunnel would be completed. Mr. Feind refused to make a prediction.

There had been too many predictions, ho said. Again Mr. Feind was urged bv Aid. MeGiUen to say whether the work eould be done within a year. Mr.

Feind got angry and retorted It may never be finished, unless we strike better ground around tho intermediate crib." "Tut, tut." remarked Aid. Cullerton. "Don't talk like that. Tho press is here. Don't alarm the public." An attempt was here made to get away would go and ask a loan of $500,000.

The bank would send a supposed trusty messenger to look at the security. The messenger was subsidized by the enemy and would report the land to be worth $750,000. The 6harpers would get $500,000 in bonds, which were then worth 75 cents on the dollar. These were sold in Europe, some of them being placed among poor peasants. The sharpers waxed rich and cleared out.

The crash came and the banks went down. They are now trying to pay a little something on the bonds. When money went up to 300 there was a revolution and President Juarez Celinan was driven out. Vice-President Pellegrenia succeeded to the office and effected an English loan, but the money is kept in England, and the proceeds of it goes to pay the interest on former loans. There is no money and no credit.

Everything is taxed to death, the people are starving and there appears to be no hope for years to come." STE WAET-BENTLY PROPERTY RELEASED. A Mild Report Probable. There are rumors thai the report on the Northern Pacific ordinance scandal will be much milder than has hitherto been expected. The report, it is said, will deal almost exclusively with the question of the validity of he ordinance. It is also claimed it will deal mildly with the officials concerned in the passage and indorsement of tho ordinance.

The report will be presented Monday evening and will probably go over under the rules. It is not considered improbable that the Council may adjourn for the vacation without acting on it. Want a Colored Captain Named. There will be presented to Mayor Washburne today a petition from the colored poopleof Chicago, also signed by many business firms, asking that a colored man be appointed captain of engine company No. 21.

The men of the company are all colored but the captaiu. The colored people think the appointment of a white ollicer is a re nuisance was general to a number of people one citizen could not come in and secure an injunction against it. Mr. Jenks wound up the arguments for the defendants. The Park Commissioners, he said, never had a right to control any building line or a 400 feet strip.

For thirteen yaars there has been a race-track on the same premises and the Commissioners never took any steps to prevent it. A race-track was not a nuisance per se and the court could not enjoin the commission of a crime in advance. The Final Argument. The final argument was made by Mr. Mun-roe for the property-owners.

It made no difference, he said, whether the peace of the neighbors was disturbed by gamblers or other people. The right of habitation without interference from noises and a nuisance was a Aldermen on the cross-town lines the previous night, and it was given out that at the future meetings of the Council until vacation the West Side improvement clubs and the South Side property-owners would be largely and clamorously represented. They are demanding the lines and extensions. They have no means of transit to their homes now and they are in a bad way. They say they propose to make themselves heard and feit.

The members of the South Side Committee on Street and Alleys are largely blamed fer the delay. They are holding back certain South Side ordinances and will not let the West Town ordinances through until they bring their own up, when they will proceed with the whole, they say, in omnibus fashion. Among the ordinances thus delayed are: One for a line on Thirty-ninth street, between Wentworth avenue and Halsted street one on Forty-seventh street, between State street and Cottage Grove avenue and one for the loop line, from Wabash avenue on Madison street, east to Michigan avenue and on Michigan avenue, north to Randolph street, and on the latter thorousrhl are west to Wabash avenue. The ordinance for the road on Sixty-third street is also held up. There is no planation of the delay.

But there are mild flection on the ability of the colored nremen. Mr. Royce Makes a Comfortable Bonus on the Deal Other Real-Estate News. William H. MeNaughton and George F.

Montgomery have leased tho Stewart-Bentiy property at Nos. 112 and 114 Dearborn 6treet to a Michigan syndicate represented by John C. Stetson, at an annual rental of $15,000. The property is 40x100 feet and is improved with a well-known three-story and basement stone-front building. The owners of the fee are Cyrus Bently Jr.

of this city and Julia Sherman of Buffalo. The lease, however, is not made for the owners of the fee, but for William D. Boyce, who secured a lease of the property in April for a term of ninety-nine years. The transaction is practically an assignment of Mr. Boyce's lease at a bonus, this bonus being the difference in valuations placed on the property by the two transactions.

The lease made by Mr. Boyce is at an annual rental of $11,000 for five years and of $11,500 for the remainder of the term. On a basis of 5 per cent this rental Seeks to Restrain the City. In tho Circuit Court the Chicago and Western Indiana railroad company filed a bill to restrain the city from crossing its tracks at grade at Columbus avenue. The railroad claims that the crossing will interfere with its business and similar allegations are made as those contained in the Illinois Central bill.

suggestions about sandbagging and similar practices. They are not complimentary to tho Aldermen. Ml how preposterous would be the attempt to determine with the most powerful telescope now in use whether the moon is inhabited. Communication with Mars. "Now, as to the proposed communication with Mars.

At the time when Mars and the earth are nearest to each other are in perihelion the distance is in round numbers of miles. Take half this distance and you have 17,500,000 as the number of yards that represents the size of an object in Mars that could be seen that distance with the naked eye. Divide this by 2,000, the power of the biggest telescope, and you have 8.750 as the size of the smallest object plainly discernible at such a distance with the telescope. This is equal to about five miles. "An object in the planet Mars could be perceived as a little larger than a dot with the aid of the largest refractor and under the most favorable, in fact absolutely perfect, atmospheric and other conditions if it was -five miles in diameter.

This is when the planet is nearest to us. On the other hand, at that time nothing on the earth could be discerned from Mars, because the earth would be in a straight line between the two and in the blaze of the sun's light. An inhabitant of that planet would have to wait until the earth was in some other part of its orbit, and the distance between the earth and Mars would then be many times as great as in perihelion. So it would be necessary to construct an object, to be discernible on the earth from Mars, say twenty miles in diameter. It might be circular in form.

Other structures not inferior in size would have to be erected at distances of not less than twenty cum SWELLING THE CITY'S CASH BALANCES. 3CQ. from the unpleasant subject of the Onderdonk tunnel, but neither Aid. Kent nor O'Neill would have it. They wanted to know what became of Mr.

Onderdonk's agreement to have the tunnel to the intermediate crib by Aug. 20. The agreement was brought in and read. It turned out to be a one-sided affair. Mr.

Onderdonk was to get a bonus of for completing the tunnel at the time named and giving up the crib to the city. But as he will not have it completed at the time he will not get the This is according to the agreement. Engineer Feind then had something to say in behalf of Mr. mderdonk. lie had done his level best to work from the intermediate crib, but the fates were against him.

The crib is located in a region of quick eands and it was found impossible to get a foothold there bo that a tunnel could be worked shorewards. The contractor was using the compressed air process at the shore face and that injuriously affected the crib face, as the air was forced through the quicksand Btrata. The Aldermen had to give ud the task of trying to find out something definite about the tunnels and Aid. O'Neill took a new tack. He wanted to know whether the machinery was in ulace at the Fourteenth street pump right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.

If a common gaming house is a nuisance it can be enjoined without appealing to the ordinance. Mr. Munroc said that defendants sought to separate the horse-racing from the gambling. If they would stipulate in this ease not to carry on pool-selling and book-making he would not press the motion for injunction. The defendants were no Jbetter than Corrigan, and the same old crowd would congregate at the new.

track. There was no doubt but what it would be the same old story of nuisance. "I might as well decide this case right now," said Judge Tuley, after the arguments were closed in the case. Judge Tuley 's Decision. "This court tries to see the parties to this suit as they appear on the docket.

Whether parties are gamblers or millionaires cuts no figure in the case. A writ of injunction in these cases is largely a matter of discretion. Complainants bought their property when the old race-track was located on the premises and were assured, not by the owner, but by outsiders, that the track would be removed. The court may also take notice that defendants Saloon Licenses Revoked. Mayor Washburne yesterday revoked the saloon license of William W.

Quinn, No. 1003 West Madison street, for allowing gambling to bo carried on in his xlace of business. The license of Freeman B. Malcolm, No. 43 West Madison street, was also revoked for violating the midnight closing ordinance.

Wholesale Owners of Tns Violating the Smoke Ordinance Fined. The tug companies of the city were given a lesson in the Smoke-ordinance primer by Justice Glennon yesterday. The Independent Tug company was charged with violating the Smoke ordinance with their tugs Peter Dal-ton and Iris O. Smith. Thero were two charges against the latter boat and a fine of $50 was imposed in each case, while a like fine was assessed on the Peter Dalton.

The contest in this case is as to the manner of occupancy of the eighty-acre tract of land. Complainants allege that the noises and the assembly of low classes upon the premises will necessarily create a nuisance.

On the other hand, the defendants have in places a valuation of $230,0110 on the property. On the same basis the rental paid by the Michigan syndicate determines a valuation of The bonus secured by Mr. Boyce is the difference $70,000 which is invested for a term of ninety-nine years. The lease made io Mr. Boyce stipulates that a $100,000 building should be erected within four years.

The syndicate making the present lease gave bonds of $50,000 to secure the building of a twelve-story office building within two years.

Health Commissioner Ware is strenuously opposed to the suggestion of Supt. Crawford of the bridewell that the pest-houso be turned over to him for a dormitory.

A Charter from the State. They have a charter from the State and a license from the city authorities to conduct just such a business.

They intend to carry on the business in an orderly manner, they say, and according to the ordinance, and to carry on pool-selling and bookmaking if allowed by law. The prayer of the bill is to restrain the defendants from selling pools or bookmaking and from operating a race track and to have the business declared a nuisance. Many cases can be found where courts have restricted the building of slaughterhouses, powder magazines, businesses which cannot be conducted without creating a nuisance, but these are all per se nuisances. But where the business is not necessarily a nuisance and depends on the management the court cannot look into the hearts to determine what the parties are going to do. Not a Matter for This Court.

"Pool-selling and bookmaking may be illegal. If so it is the duty of tho city and the police authorities to prosecute under the ordinance prohibiting it and not the business of a Court of Chancery. Courts decline to interfere with gambling. Now the court cannot say that because the business as carried on by Corrigan was a nuisance it will be repeated by the defendants or that the present city administration will the barbarian."

Aid. Cullerton shifted the subject, Mr. Feind was spared the trouble of further questions, and the time when the pumps will be in place was left to conjectures. There was no definite information on the point. Consideration of the Shore Inlet Tunnel.

The Bhore-inlet tunnel, the last job of the Cregier administration, was next considered. This was promised to be completed June 20. Mr. Feind says it will not be completed until Aug. 15.

But then it cannot be fully utilized unless there is a connecting 6ix-foot tunnel between the end or well and the nine-foot main tunnel inland. This tunnel is to be 000 feet long and is to cost $17,500. Aid. O'Neill again wanted to know why his little job was not mentioned connection with the bigger job last February. Mr.

Feind said it was referred to in his report. But it appears that this part of the report was never submitted to the 1 inance committee or to the CouuciL It was not Mr. Feind's fault. It was true, he Baid, that the water from the inlet t- mel could be utilized without the construction of the UO0 foot tunnel, but it would have in that ease to be drawn through a two and one-half foot pipe or tunnel. The volume would not bo sufficient.

Feind was urgent in favor of his scheme. Aid. Kent asked again if there was any prospect of the Onderdonk tunnel being ready by June 1, because if that were the case he would oppose the new job. He got no satisfaction. Aid.

Cullerton urged the appropriation asked for by the engineer. Aid. MeGiUen and Aid. Gahan supported him, and the committee recommended it, and an appropriation of $2,500 for shore connections at Fourteenth street with the Onderdonk tunnel. Then the committee went back again to the inlet tunnel, and a letter of Mr.

1'urdy was read. This extended the time sixty days. Aid. O'Neill wanted to know whether a Commissioner of Public Works had authority to extend the time of contracts. There was no definite answer.

He did not ask whether the Commissioner of Public Works had the right to let contracts for work involving the expenditures of millions without subjecting the Regular Auction Sale Boston, July 10.

Reasons for Makintr No Mention of Ca-hensly'n Memorial to the Pope. St. Locis, July 10. It has been noticed that during the agitation brought about by the Cahensly letter to Pius XIII. no information on the subject was printed in the Catholic papers.

The reason for this is explained by the fact that with the first wave of dissatisfaction caused by the cabled announcement of the memorial and its projection had subsided, an order emanatmg from the American Catholic Press Association was sent to the Roman correspondent bidding him to drop the Cahensly matter entirely and write nothing about the movement to appoint national bishops in the American church. JTTJRISriTTJBE was visiting the prison in company with Warden Dement. In the marble shop the attorney was recognized by Charles Wagner, a Polish Jew who had been sent down for endangering the lives of a family by chloroform. Mr. Elliott had been instrumental in securing Wagner's conviction, and at that time the criminal swore vengeance on the attorney.

When Wagner saw Elliott in the marble room he was heard to mutter "That man sent me here for twenty years for nothing." And forthwith the convict made a dive for the attorney and gave him a terrific blow on the head with a slab of marble. Mr. Elliott fell to the floor stunned, and he is still confined to his home, No. 222 Leav-itt street, as a result of the blow. He is recovering and will be out in a few days.

Mr. Elliott 6aid to a Tribune reporter yesterday: "My 6titf 6traw hat was all that saved me. It broke the force of the blow. I have a big gash in the back of my head yet. My system is run down from overwork, and I expect the shock did me more harm than the Florida Oranges.

If I tried to stop or close up improper houses I probably would have no time to attend to the other suits involving property interests. that for taffy for the newspapers? "I think," said Mr. Allen, "that we ordered this committee to find out who committed that barbarity at the hospital. Now it comes in here and talks about non-partisan boards.

But 1 was scared when 1 looked around and saw that fellow making for me with a big slab in his hand and a murderous look in his eye." The convict was put in solitary confinement, and the prison authorities will give him the benefit of the severest discipline the rules allow.

NO ROOM AT THE SOLDIERS' HOMES. A prominent churchman, who draws his information from the most reliable sources, is authority for the statement that the promoters of the scheme, fearing that the outspoken disapproval of the American people would reach the ears of the Pontiff and prejudice their case, tried to hush things up until they put the matter through at Rome. The interest taken in that matter by the daily papers and the few religious papers outside of the association frustrated their design. The order was conveyed in a letter written by the editor of the press association, Mr. Conde B.

Ballen of this city. His reasons for writing the order are not plain. He is not. a German, nor is he supposed to be under German influences. Several of the local clergy thought that the order had been issued at the request of the Germans, who were heartily ashamed of the whole matter and anxious to have it die out.

The letter, however, was written at the very outset of the movement and before the dissatisfaction had become widespread. As Mr. Palleu, who wrote it, is not in the city at present his views on the matter cannot be learned. A Gentleman's SmoKe What the Government Directors of Such Institutions Learned. The soldiers' homes at Dayton, Milwaukee, Leavenworth, Santa Monica, CaL, and Marian, are accommodating all the old veterans they can, and notwith The system was to blame, and under it barbarities had been practiced at the hospital for years.

Some of you grannies," said he, have been down East and have come back with the right idea in your heads that the institution should have a medical superintendent at the head of it. Mr. Cool thought it was the system that was to blame. The board ought to put a man there. I know what you want, and that is a Republican Warden," said Gen.

Lieb angrily. I do noli want a Republican nor a Democrat, but a medical suterintendent who shall be a competent man." "It all very well for you to talk like that," retorted Mr. Cool, but this board remembers the time when you had au opportunity to vote for a medical man to be the head institution and refused to do so." Gen. Lieb acknowledged this fact and explained that he had recently learned a good deal fcbout the hospital. Action on the report For 5c.

When it comes to appealing to a Chancery Court to prevent crime it is time to call a halt. There is a class of cases which depends on management and conduct whether or not it is a nuisance, and this is one.

For the Police to Say. There are also cases in which the law gives the police authorities the discretion to say whether they are nuisances or not. In doubtful cases, where a thing may or may not be a nuisance, courts can act from their own knowledge. A race-course in a large city might be declared a nuisance by the City Council and an ordinance to that effect passed. In this case the city has granted a license to defendants whereby they consider it not a nuisance.

The threatened nuisance complained of may be avoided by defendants or the the city authorities may suppress it, and it is not for this court to say that defendants will create a nuisance. The injunction will be denied and the bill dismissed." We wish to retain the bill to act again if necessary," spoke up Mr. Fullenwider. As to the Park Commissioners. Very well, you may do so.

as to the bill filed by the Commissioners," continued the court. "The Park Commissioners stood by for thirteen years and allowed the racing to go on without taking any steps to prevent it. According to affidavits they themselves carried on the same business. They have no standing in court. They claim the right to ask of this court to restrain the building of sheds within fifty feet of the building line and also within 400 feet of the park.

It any attempt is being made to corner the cattle market the members of the great Chicago packing syndicate know nothing of it. C. M. Favorite of Armour Co. said yesterday: "I do not know of any attempt on the rart of packers to secure an option on cattle throughout the country.

Armour Co. have not in years purchased cattle outside of Chicago, and I do not know a packer who does. The Union Stock-Yards is the market, and there we obtain our supply. Prices are somewhat higher than they were a year ago, but there are plenty to supply the demand. The seasonable weather throughout the Southwest will make a large increase in shipments within the next thirty days, when prices wul probably be as low as they ever were.

But the superintendents of the institutions are compelled to turn them away.

Consequently the poor-houses of the country contain soldiers who should be inmates of the Soldiers' Home. But we cannot do anything. The law has not made any provision for more room and the poorhouses must continue hold some of the country's most worthy veterans.

Flower of the training school. In her letter Mrs. Flower said the board could do no wiser thing than to do away with the use of special nurses. Their use had crown to be an abuse. She had observed that many people came to the hospital who would not ao so if they had to go into tho wards.

But as they knew that they could have a special nurse and a private room, many who were, as she put it, resplendent with diamonds," came to the hospital and were cared for at the county's expense. Dr. Winnemark sent a communication to the board which several of the Commissioners thought under the circumstances to be in bad form. He called the attention of the board to the "importance of permitting him to engage additional help in order to facilitate the proper performance of his duties. He wanted a milk man at $25 per month; a receiving clerk at $23 a telephone boy at $10, and an assistant storekeeper at $40.
