City Council: Gsntxemsn; Before entering upon the details of my annual report, I de- sire to extend to the Council and all other officera, connected with this administration, jny grateful thanks for the uniform courtesy, kindness and consideration shown me. Whatever good may have been accomplished during this flint year of incorporation of our city Is Cue as much to you, Gentlemen of the Council, as to the Executive. I venture to claim, that the records of the municipal government, will show an honest effort to administer public affairs efficiently and economically fcnd that many much needed improvements and beneficial measures have been inaugurated during this short term. Unfair criticism has oU ten been our thanks, this, however, is the ban of public life. I will now lay before you a resume of the work of the various departments. ran rotiCB departments: Has Iwtn as well conducted as the means on hand would allow. Tbe largeness of the city under only one policeman at night, should offer, in a great measure, excuses for some of the reported robberies during the last few months. Although laboring under a great many disadvantages, the police have done their duty cheerfully ani well, even when labor troubles disturbed our community. A revision of the ordinances will, particularly In this department, contribute-t- an even better service. The selection of the City Justice has been an excellent. one, and his services to tlieelty have been more than paid by the flues collected during the year.' o TI1K STUEKT DKrAUTMF.NT.

Governor Lewelling of Kansas has ap- a woman to the police force of ?ointed The usurpation of no masculine occupation from that of drum major to chimney sweep by women causes surprise now, but, all the same, when tho world is a little older and wiser, it may cause surprise. Most reforms once started go with a rush that carries them beyond the point of common sense, and it is net until there have been successive reactions and advances that they quiet down, like an oscillating compass needle, to point in the right direction. A policeman's duties are very promiscuous, and apt at times to be exceedingly disagreeable and to require brute strength and a cold heart. Since there are plenty of men to do this sort of work the world is not richer, but poorer, if women can do it too. Let the women go in for scholarship, for all that is highest and noblest and most refined in men, but let them not change their work at all rather than change to something less refined, less Christian, less womanly in the new and broad sense of the term. Let them indeed direct the policemen if they can do so wisely, since policemen are necessary, but let men execute the orders.- -r Rochester Post-Expres- s. virtue of scents, cosmetics, wasnes, paint, artificial teeth, raise hair or high heeled shoes shall incur the penalty now in force against witchcraft." Chronicle. School Director! In Kaneaa. n The following from the Lincoln answers the doubt as to women voting at school elections: In one district there was but one man present. The director, a man, forgot the date. The other two members were women, and both were present. With delicate gallantry the man was made chairman, and the women proceeded to do tho business of the meeting, not forgetting a single thing. They voted an ample tax, and to repair the schoolhonse, and unanimously for county uniformity of fc xtbooks, the treasurer, who is serving her fourth term, and the clerk duly prepared and sent in her returns. If the argument, "Women don't want the ballot, for they do not vote at school elections," apphes, what can be said-othe men.who rarely ever come oct f in greater numbers than just enough to transact the business? Bea-oo- jKlt Misa Davidson. Miss Davidson, an enterprising youngf woman of Memphis, was elected notary public by the Shelby county court and entered upon the duties of her office. She was capable and was given so much business that some other notaries became jealous of her success. They brought suit against the fair young notary, claiming that a woman was not eligible to tho office. The case was first tried before Judge L. H. Eates of Memphis. lie decided promptly in favor of the defendant. The plaintiffs then appealed to the supreme court, who have just handeA down their opinion. Their decision ia against Mias Davidson. They say it ia unconstitutional for a woman to hold this office In Tennessee. Memphis Correspondent. Jiot Prepared For a Bnsg Shot. A characteristic little story comes from the scenes of the recent land rush. One of the heroines of the occasion was Miss Mabel Gentry of Neosho county, Ean. She was the seventh to soke a claim, riding on a spirited pony. She was armed with a revolver and a lunch basket and was "prepared to nartl her claim as long aa it was necessary. But when an enterprising newspaper correspondent asked live to take her photograph she promptly demurred oa the ground that she was "looking like a fright." They Passed the Bonnet. At a recent woman's club meeting,' funds being needed for some important scheme, ia default of the traditional hat,, a bonnet was passed around, securing a' rich harvest. New York Correspondent. FaderarwaJtl aa a flard Worker. To be a pet of the public sometimes has its" disadvantages. M. Paderewski, for instance, keeps up his reputation only at the co6t of tremendous efforts. To an interviewer for Elack and White he haa confided the fact that he practices &t the piano often for 15 or 16 hours a day. Onc, m New York, he had to work np eight entirely distinct programmes in little ovr as many days, and then it was a case cT 17 hours' practice daily. One most always be, at it, he. explains, to keep the fingers 'right and the memory activte. The work is certainly tiring, and M. Paderewski considers that playing billiards ft game he is very fond of has saved his life by affording him the necessary relief from his arduous work. Those crashing blows of his on the piano are not, as some might imagine, made with the closed Cut. Sometimes they ere done with the third finger stiffened, out, sometimes with the thumb sideways. He seems to see nothing wonderful in the effect produced, although bis hands ore so delicate that an ordinarily firm shake makes him wince.
