MR.M'HALE'SHUMQR City Father Convulsed Committee on Public Works with His Wit at Last Wight's Meeting. OLD AMES ARE RETAINED SEMI ANNUAL Both Stores 412 Spruce St. Both Stores .309 Lacka. Ave. ear in There was fun fast and furious and no little confusion at last night's meet i i nn 1 1 works, and it was all afforded by Councilman John McHale, of the Eighteenth ward.

He could not see things in the same light as other members. The meeting was called for the pur pose of going over the names of the city streets, with the view of recommending their adoption to councils. While Chairman Merriman read off the list Mr. McHale opened a conversation with Director Jayne, who sat across the table. His remarks were witty and convulsed the spectators to such an extent that confusion resulted.

Mr. Griffiths was one of the few who did not give a smile' at McHale's sallies. Suddenly Mr. Griffiths shouted, "Mr. Chairman, I rise to a point of order.

There, is too much confusion here and I object to one man doing ail me laming. He had not finished when McHale was oh his feet, his eyes blazing. "Sit down. Sit down," he cried, "or I will put you down. I know what you are here for.

You are not running this meeting, nor you needn't think that you and Danny Vaughan and the chairman and and him pointing at Mr. Partridge are going to have it all to say. We are on this committee and if we have anything to say we are going to say It." STONE AVENUE OR NOTHING, It was shortly after this that Mr, Merriman read Stone avenue or South Webster avenue to German avenue German avenue was the name substi tuted by Mr. Roche and the commit. tee on streets when they went over the names last year.

The people de atv ha nvlrHnal nnma Iinwpvpir anri Mr. Vaughan moved that it be Chang ed to South Webster avenue. This gave Mr. McHale another op portunity and he informed the com mittee it must be Stone avenue or nothing. It was Stone avenue before they were born, the people wanted it Stone avenue, and it would be Stone avenue when they were dead.

He begged the chairman to immediately called it Stone avenue regardless of anything Mr. Vaughan might say. Mr. Vaughan explained that the name had been changed from Stone to South Webster avenue by ordinance two years ago because it was a con tlnuation of North Webster avenue, and because the residents wanted it so. "What is Webster? Give me a for Webster?" said Mr.

McHale excitedly, while at the same time Mr. Griffiths was on his feet asking for in formation. A TIE VOTE RESULTS. It was some time before order was restored and when it had been, Mr. McHale was instantly on his feet asking for a vote on his motion.

It was seconded by Mr. Barrett, and the ques tion was put. The responses appeared to be evenly divided. "I'm in doubt," said Chairman Mer riman. "No doubt about it," said Mr.

Mc Hale, "we win. Let's have the ayes and nays." i Instead, a rising vote was taken and it resulted in a tie of 6 5. Mr. Merri man declared the motion lost, said Mr. McHale.

"You lose, you lose; we win," and he very politely begged Mr, Griffiths' pardon when the latter suggested that the matter be left for the councils to de cide. "It's all settled now," he said, notwithstanding that his own motion was lost. Mr. Vaughan afterwards moved that the name be changed to South Web ster avenue and the same tie vote re suited. The matter was then left for councils to decide.

OLD NAMES RETAINED; In the few changes made In the names of the streets it was in each' Instance decided to retain the original name rather than the one substituted by last year's committee. Greenbush street in the First ward, which had been changed to Bush street. Old name retained. Summit avenue in the First and Twenty first wards was considered a better name than Sumner avenue, which name the old committee had recommended. Clark avenue in the Third ward which had been changed to Loop ave nue, was changed back to Clark ave nue.

Amity place in the Seventh ward, which had been substituted for Green place, was dropped in favor of tfos original name. Ridge avenue in the Tenth ward, which had been changed to Verge street, will again be known by the oid name. Beacon street is no more, the old name of South Wyoming avenue being restored. Fassadena street in the Twenty first ward, which had been changed to Foster street, will again bear the old name. The old name of West Locust street Das been restored to the thoroughfare in the Fifteenth ward, recently known as Mitchell street.

In response to a well signed petition, cemetery street in tne rwenty nrst ward was changed to West Gibson street. Tonight's Band Concert.

ISAACS, 4J2 SPRUCE STREET 309 LACKA. AVENUE WHEN WILL NEW YORK BE FIRST? Increasing in Population at Fast Again as London Should Past Hr in 1950. The present population of the city of New1 York, according to the estimate of the board of health, is 3,700, 000. The population of London, according to the London council report just issued, is which Id greater than the combined population of the cities of New York and Paris. In the 10 years covered by the last London census the population increased 1,000,000.

London's population has been returned as follows: 1881, 1801, 1003, 0,581,373. The gain in population has been: Per cent. 1S71 1SS1, 10 years i 'ti 1881 1(1 years 17 1801 1803, la 17j In other words, while the population of London is steadily and considerably increasing year by year, the percentage of increase is slowly declining. When the consolidation of cities and districts, which was to make up the Greater New York, went into effect on January 1, 1898, the estimated popu lation of Manhattan was 1,884,842. It is now 1,955,000, a gain of 71,000 in five years.

The Bronx, which is growing up more rapidly than any other division of the city of New York, had at the time of consolidation 135,000 inhabitants. It has now 215,000, a gain of 110,000 in five years. Queens had, at consolidation, 128,000 Inhabitants, and although its boundaries have been somewhat diminished and its territory reduced by the adoption of the law creating and defining the new county of Nassau, the present population is 173,000, a gain of 47,000 in five years. Richmond, the least important of the boroughs, in respect either to population or Increase in population, had at consolidation 65,000 inhabitants. It has now, five years later on, 70,000.

The present rate of increase in the population of New York is 35 per cent, each 10 years, partly made up by the excess in the number of births over the number of deaths, partly by the steady stream of emigration from foreign countries with New York city as its chief objective point, and by the steady inflow into the city of newcomers from other parts of the United States. The present birth rate in London Is 29 per thousand each year, and the present death rate in London Is 18. There is a difference, therefore, of 11 per cent, per thousand in favor of the increase of the population from that source each year. There Is very little foreign immigration Into London from other countries, but a considerable influx of inhabitants from other cities of England and from the rural districts of that country and from Ireland and Scotland. The birth rate in New York is 27 per 1,000 and the death rate 16.

bo that In respect to the difference between the two, New York and London are on terms of equality an excess of 11 per centj of births in each city each year. Substantially, the population of New York, from all sources of increase, is twice as great as that of London, and it is, therefore, a matter of simple mathematical calculation whenv if present conditions continue, the population of the city of New, York, increasing at the rate of 35 per cent, each ten years, will overtake the population of London, increasing at the rate of 17 Vt per cent, each ten years. Present indications are that, in 1950, if not before, the city of New York will exceed in the number of its in habitants the city of London, provided, of course, there is no substantial dl munltion in the flow to this port of foreign immigration, and provided. too, that in the matter of annexation of suburban towns and districts by the two cities the present ratio of pop ulation between them is maintained. MENTAL REMEDIES, The tenacious hold on life of the pope probably will be attributed by some to miraculous aid.

Others will place it to the credit of his physicians' skill and devoted attention to their eminent patient. There are others who will look still more closely and not fail to recognize that the pope's mental attitude toward his physical condition has been a prominent factor in his improvement. The pope does not appear to have allowed himself to be dominated by fatalism, much less by fear, during the progress of his illness. In this struggle he has been aided by his strength of will and lofty courage, his determination not to yield at any point, his cheerfulness and delicate sense of humor, and the sly irony which crops out In any of his remarks to those about him, as well as by the daily exercise of his physical powers, which have been splendidly preservevi by his careful and sensible habits of life. In this struggle the body has played but a small part because of the natural weakness consequent upon extreme age.

The mind has thus far won in the contest, through potency of will, courage and cheerfulness of disposition. It is a conspicuous example of "the sound mind in a sound body," for in the progress of hig illness, desperate as it has been, his intellectual power has not been weakened to any appreciable extent and his constitution has shown extraordinary vigor, as his physicians concede. The circumstances attending the illness of the pope recalls many similar cases where life has been greatly prolonged by the will and by cheerfulness. They recall the words of Joseph Glan vlll, with which Poe begins his "Llgeia" "And the will therein lieth which dleth not. Who kn()Veth the mysteries of the will vigor? Man doth not yield himself to the angels, nor unto death utterly, save only through the weakness of his feeble will." They recall Darwin pursuing his great theories through years of extreme physical suffering to which ordinary men would have succumbed; Hood, writing his pathetic poems and brilliant witticisms upon his sick bed; Heine, cynically sneering at nature's effort to affliot hira, but every day writing on his "mattress grave;" Rob.

ert Louis Stevenson, frail and slowly wasting away, yet living on by strength of will and occupation of mind; General Grant, knowing that his doom was fixed and yet undoubtedly prolonging his life by devoting his time to his memoirs Instead of brooding over his affliction. Numerous examples of this kind might be cited. They involve a principle of which faith healers, mind curiats and others have taken advantage. Chicago Tribune. RAILROAD NOTICES.
