The new cooklns? class at the Propylaeum has resolved Itself Into the permanent number of ISO members anl yesterday afternoon thla number of ladle were sealed before a table, cover? 1 with a snowy cloth, and the principal object on the table wa a ureat bowl of ej?g3. Mr. Kwinj: was busy with preparations some time before the claps assembled, the tea kettle anj cozily on the stove and little feathers of steam ross lazily from tho spout. The artist in cooking looked out through her Classen at the expectant face before her and us 5be- fluttered over the taHc. remaikel: "I told you yesterday that Prof. plow said there were four hundred ways to cook an eg?. This might be misleading." Then hs went on with tho lesion which was to the effect that there are but four way to cook an cer". by tolling, frying, broiling or baking, liut there are four hundred ways to serve the egx and when a woman understand the unlerlyin principles of these she can s:o on and cook anything. Tho trouble is that cooks do not begin at the beginning, but take hold at tho other end. The four principles of cooking an egg are the A H Cs of cooking. Then for a little Bide lesson, the maid, who wa to help in the cooking lesfcon, was show! how to light the oven and to thl the class paid particular attention. Mrs. Kwlng has reduced this art of preparing wholesome and toothsome food to such a tine point that her slightest movement 1 watched, each one supposing that whatever she does must be the very bet way, the easiest and of course the most effective In producing the required result. Mrs. Ewlng cdeariy proved that In boiling en egjr tho way to get the most-nutritious results was cot to IkjII the egg at all. She did not say so in that many words, but the way she illustrate I her point was very simple. She had a dish, on, the stove with boiling water in It and when time came to cook 'the egg she drew the dish to one eide, and after the water had ceased It commotion, she put in the egg. set the dish on the table, put on a cover and left the egg there Jut eight minutes. She then opened the egg an 1 it was found to be pertfectly done, the white and yolk exactly alike. As this was being-done, she told of an enterprising man who had discovered that the monetary los3 jn cooking eggs is ). x) a day and "what can be the loss if, in addition, indigestion and other Ills be counted?" The cook said in so many words that eggs might b boiled on the dlqingroom table if the hostess would take her cracker jar. have It thoroughly Seated apd the bol liny water poured In. Thl little talk was followed byone on the "poacher;" not a man who tresp.v on Engli?h preserves, hut a tin Toeptab for cooking eggs: ' Defore using thl poachsr Mrs. Ewlng creased it with clarified butter, ami when the egs ero. done they were slipped off easily to the platter. There arc many little hint dropped all throusU'the' !e??un. One of these hints was not to turn, a fried egg because it makes It tough and spoils its form. Too cook a fried egg on. the uppr side, two tablespoon of boiling water are'put. in the dish and a cover clapp l on as quickly as possible. The class was busy -writing down tne recipes and notebooks ami pencil were In the hantft of every one.' The "ohR" an l ahs" of delight would have amused anyone not deerdy interested in the lesson. Mrs. Ewlng told how to use up yolks of eggs left after making' angel food and of how to use coll' boiled or fried eggs and all orts of egg "left-overs." The strongest recommendation of Mrs. Kwlng's cooking lessons nn their practical, economical and penrlble recipes. She has not much use for the spun sugr.ktnJ- of cooking for the household. The lesson this aftfrnoon will be "Chaflngdlsh Cookery" and will be given at 2.20. , DAILY VITAL STATISTICS FEB. 15. t . ...I , , .. . . penth. . llattle Burton, twenty-four years.

TARIFF RILL STILL SHELVED UEIlATi: IX TIIK hoi si: ox tub skx. ATli FKKIi COIAi: M HAS I It C. Convert Hnll Called a "Cuckoo" Ac tioti on Statehood Hills Delayed ly Sound .Money Men. WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. 1 1 was expected that the tariff bill woul 1 com up in the Senate to-day, Mr. Morrill, chairman of the finance committee, having given notice of a motion to that effect, but thj sribje-n was not mentioned during the day and the entire session was given to routine business. Considerable progress wa made on the deficiency bill and the Item of federal court expenses brought out strong criticisms from Mr. Chandler. Mr. Tillman and Mr. Vest against the fee system. Mr. Vfst retired the adoption of a resolution calling on the Secretary of AgricuU ture to report what recent changes ha been made in the quarantine line against cattle coming North from Teas. Mr. Vest explained that, a recent publication stated that thc rlecretary had Issued a proclamation making radical change?, io the detriment of the parties In interest. Mr. Peffcr came forward with a lengthy resolution proposing a Senato investigation of the circumstances of all recent bond Issues. The resolution proposes a special to;nmitteej of live Senator and gives comprehensive directions as to the scope of the inquiry, tho dealings with syndicates etc., the effect of Kuch dealings anl explicit-information as to the purchasers of bonds, rate and all attendant circumstance Mr. Morrill asked that the resolution go to the tlnaneo committee, but it went over by the rules until to-morrow. Among the favorable reports presented was one on Mr. Hale's bill, making Feb. 12 (Lincoln's birthday) a national holiday. The project for a memorial bridge across tht Potomac river, connecting Washington and the old Arlington property In Virginia, was passed. Consideration of the urgent deficiency bill was then resumed. The item of 210.(x for salaries of Judges and officers of the federal courts In the Indian Territory brought out a protect from Mr. Chanller. Two of the Judges (Springer and Kilgore) are tx-mem-bers of Congress and had gone to the Indian Territory "with all the extravagant notions engendered by life in Wahingon end membership in a billion-dollar Democratic Congress." Mr. Chandler said he was not yet prepared to make charges, but he lelievcd from letters received that all is not a it should te in the administration of the India-l court. Mr. Chan ller also criticised the growing expenditures under the Department of Justice. These had trebled In ten years with little increase In business. The Senator pointed out that the last Congress, Democratic In both brunches and with a Democratic President, had appropriated $o7a.0o for United States marshals and made it necessary to provide $l,l!KtyM for deficiencies for United States marshals. Mr. Chandler declared that the fee rvstem was responsible for the growing extravagance of federal court office:-, lie spoke of conspiracies in Alabama, Soutn Carolina and elsewhere to get up fraudulent pro.ecutions to swell fees of officers. This brought Mr. Tillman to his feet for a tharacteritlc speech. He agreil with Mr. Chandler that the fee system was wrong. A Supreme Court judge had i eo.nily- pointed out that court ofrtcial-Cver en 'ournge 1 to pet up fictitious pros'-c itlona There is a class of 'mbitual witnesses in th- R.'M-th. They do nothing but earn witness fees, going around "bamloor.li.vg negroes' anl getting whole teams of negroes to prosecute fictitious cases. The thing to do was to reform th law. Mr. Sherman ppoke of the enormous cost of our governmental systcn. whl.-h trose in part from the complication of appropriation bills. Mr. thermal urged that the bulg?t system in use in England was far simpler than that of the American and could be profitably adopted. Mr. Vest spoke of the "robbery nnd plunder" practiced by United Stat"s marshals !n order to obtain fees. There were coteries anl rings of these marshal. who made it a tiale to go aroanl arresting men and drrf ging thrm hundreds of mile to jafl. rot for purposes of Justice, but ta swell marshal fees. T?e deficiency bill ws-laH r.slle at 4:10 r m. Mr. Hale ;al'ed up the Mil. making Feb. 12 (IJnroln's birth lay) a mt'onal heyday. Mr. Hill sail he had Intended to offer an amendment, making the birthday of Andrew Jackson a legal holiday, but, in order not to Interfere with this measure, be would submit his bill separately. Mr. Hawley objected to Immeliat0 consideration of the bill and this prevented action. The Senate at 4:15 p. m. adjourned until to-morrow. Tnrlff I111I Held Hack. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. The friends of the tariff bill In the Senate have found It expedient to change their plans somewhat, and Instead of taking up the tariff immediately will postpone its consideration until after all the appropriation bflls which have been reported from committee shall be disposed of. It Is "believed that these measures will monopolize the grreater part of the time of the t-enate for the next week. Other questions will intervene, so that it now looks as if the debate on the tariff or the silver substitute would be- deferred until week after next at the earliest. A prominent Republican member of the committee on . finance to-day exnresed the opinion that the silver substitute would Ie tiffeated by at least fifteen majority. He said that nit to exceed four of the silver Republicans would vote for the substitute. With this deposed of, he thinks the tariff bill will pass with a full Republican, vote. aldd by the votes of at least three of the Populist Senators. HAM, IS A "CrclvOO." Mr. It nun in Ridicules the MiNourlnn Conversion to Sound Money. WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. The debate on the free silver substitute for the Hou? bond bill was resumed when the House convened at 10: o'clock this morning. Mr. tTnderwood atvi Mr. Cox spoke In favor of concurrence in the Senate substitute, and Mr. Brumm in favor cf the coinage of the American product. The latter ridiculed Mr. Hall, of Missouri, for arrogating to himself the credit for changing his portion on the silver question. "He compared himself with Gladstone." said Mr. Hrumm. " 'Gladstone and I have changed our minds.' he says. In my opinion his conversion can be characterized in one word, 'cuckoo.' " At 12 o'clock the regular order of the House se.-'sion began. The chaplain in his prayer referred to the fact that this was Lir.ecln's birthday. Mr. Cannon presented a Seaate Joint resolution appropriating $75,000 for the purpose of making a Joint ourvey; together with Great Rritaln. of the boundary line between Alaska and Iritili territory. The resolution was adopted. The House then resumed consideration of the bond silver bill. Mr. Dolilver tcok the floor In opposition to the free coinage proposition. He reviewed the history cf the subject from the fourteenth century, and said that the demonetization cf silver in ls7"3 had not "struck it down." for during a previous period of seventy year there had been no sliver ixi circulation. Free coinage had at all times proved a failure. He would rather stand where he was than to jump without knowing whether he was to fall upon solid ground or Into a bottomless pit. lie denied t.iat any country where free coinage was practiced ha 1 ever enjoyed the circulation of both gold and silver at the same time. There never was a time when a man stood for so much and a dollar for so little as at the present. Mr. McMlllin followed. He said there was an insufficient currency, and that we should not wait for the co-operation of any foreign country before taking steps to Improve our financial affairs. He was not for monometallism of any eort. 'but desired the ue cf both metals. The thecry that the amount cf currency In circulation did not affect prices was unfounded. Mr. llrosius opposed free coinage. Mr. Italley sought to prove that gold had ajprecijted within the last twenty years, saying that if this was true the opponents

cf silver would have nothing to stand on, as the basis of their contention was that gcll was table. He had no especial preference for '-either gold or silver, but desired th'tt which was rnotl stable. Mr. McUJeary jld he would endeavor to answer the- statements made by his colleague, Mr. Towne. He used mans employed by Mr. Towne last week, and asserted that they did not bear out the free silver arguments of his colleague. His remarks were followed closf-ly by the House. At v- m. a recess was taken until 8 o'clock this evening, the session to be devoted to debate. The last night session of the general deflate on the bill was more poorly attended than any of its predecessors. The galleries were almost empty and there were but seven members on the floor. Mr. Ringham, In opposition to the Senate free coinage substitute, predicted another $100,000.0) bond issue unless some legislation was enacted covering gold redemption of greenbacks. He favored an Increase of the national bank circulation, the payment of customs duties in gold and the refund of the greenhack and treasury notes into 2 per ?nt: bond. The only two other speakers. vood and Gardner, were acainst the Senate substitute. At 9 o'clock, for want of more speakers, the House took a recess until 10:S0 to-morrow morning.

.More RescrvnlloiiH to lie Opened to Puhlif Settlement. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. -The Secretary of the Interior to-day transmitted to Congress agreements made with the Gros Ventre and Ass-inaboine Indians at the Fort Relknap Indian agency, Montana, and the Indians on the P.lackfect reservation in Montana. Under the first-named agreement the Indian sell all lands supposed to be mineral, estimated at 40,000 acres, to the government for tfW.ffr), to be expended for them by the Secretary at the rate of not more than $W,(K0 a year. The latter agreement Involves SiO.Oih) or 1.0n0,XH) acres of mountain land of a supposed mineral character, for which the government agrees to pay $1.:.00,)00, to be expended by the Secretary at the rate of not more than $150,000 a year. The lands of both these agencies will be disjmsed of under the mineral laws, except that purchasers of Fort Relknap lands will be required to pay $10 an acre, instead of the customary . In his letters of transmission. Secretary Hoke Smith formally enunciates a new policy, which will be extended to all Indian reservations. He says: "I am firmly convinced that the better policy in such cases is for the government to take charge of and sell for what they will bring such lands as the Indians don't need, the net proceeds being placed in the treasury of the United States to be expended for their benefit. If this course is not practicable in any given case and it is thought best for the government to purchase any Indian lands at a fixed price, then care should be taken to make such provision for their disposal as will surely and fully reimburse the government for the whole purchase price. In other words, the government should not bo subjected to the loss of money in these transactions. ' While I approve generally the terms of (his agreement, the price proposed to be paid for the land Is large and I am not satisfied that a sufficient quantity of the land will le disposed of to fully reimburse the government the amount to be Caid. If a provision can be made authoring the department to dispose of this land by immediate sale In a body or smaller tracts, at such price as may be fixed by the Secretary of tho Interior a will realize the full amount to be expended Jy the government. I would cheerfully recommend the approval of this agreement." DURING SI1 COXVKXTIOX. Proposition Considered by the Sennit Foreign Relations Committee. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. The convention between the government of the United States and that of Great Rritaln for the arbitration of the claims for damages made on account of the Rering sea scaling vessel seizures was received Ty the Senate in executive session yesterday, and was considered by the committee on foreign relations to-day. The treaty is a brief document, signed by Secretary Olney on the part of the United States and by Sir Julian Paunccfotc for Great Rritaln. It provides for tho reference of claims to. two commissioners, one to be appointed by the United States and the other by Great Rritain, who, in case of a failure to agree, are to be authorized to select a third commissioner. If not able to agree on a man for this office, the matter is to be referred to the president of the iSwiss republic with the request that he name the third man, which he has consentedto do. The agreement is made in conformity with the Paris arbitration, and its findings .are made obligatory upon both governments. As suomitted the treaty only provides for the payment of damages by the United States for vessels engaged in seal catchiag belonging to citizens of Great Rritain, but a disposition has already manifested Itself In the committee to amend it so as to provide also for the arbitration of claim which may arise on the part of citizen of the United States for seizures of American vessel made by Great Rritain. and the probabilities are that such an amendment will be made in committee. Senator Morgan talked at considerable length to the Senate to-day, explaining the origin of these claims anl going into the finding of the Paris tribunal a well as the efforts to have the claims settled durIncr the last Congress by the payment of a lump sum. which he oppose! at that time. The committee adjourned without taking action, but the indications are that with the change making the findings of the commission mutual as between the two countries, the committee will recommend the ratification of the treaty. TUB STATUIIOOD HILLS. Action Postponed liy Votes of AntiFree Sliver Representatives. WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. The House committee on Territories held a warm session to-day over the bills to admit Arizona and New Mexico into the Union. For several weeks It has been apparent that there was a disposition among some of the opionents of free silver on the committee to postpone favorable reports on those bills, at least for the present, to prevent the Increase of the free-silver strength in the Senate. To-day the light culminated, when, while the bill to admit Arizona was under discussion, the committee voted C to 5 to adjourn. It was erroneously reported about the House to-day that the vote was taken on the Arizona bill, and that the bill itself had been defeated. Although, as stated, the opponents of free silver were responsible for the postponement of action on the bill, all the opponents of free coinage on the committee were not In avor of deferring action. Mr. Scranton of Pennsylvania, the chairman, Mr. Perkihs of Iowa, and Mr. Turner of Vlrsrinla, who voted against the motion to adjourn, are also opposed to free coinage. Those who voted to adjourn were Iladley of Illionls, Knox of Massachusetts, Taft of Ohio, Lowe of New York. Harrison of Alabama and Owens of Kentucky. Messrs. Avery, cf Michigan, and Cooper, of Texas, voted against adjournment in addition to those nnmed. Messrs. Harris, of Ohio, and Lafevre, of New York, were absent. Roth the latter are anti-silver men. It is therefore apparent that the test of strength to-day indicates that the committee IS opposed, at least for the present, to reporting these statehood' bills. It Is claimed that both the absentee are also in favor of deferring action, but Mr. Murphy, the Arizona Delegate, dtnies this. As the bill It-r-Hf has not been defeated in committee, the -vote can be taken whenever the advocates of the bill are able to muster a majority. Caucus of Meiuocrti tie Senators. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The Democratic Senators held a caucus of two and a half hours' duration to-day, called for the purpore of affording an opportunity for consultation on the election of an assistant doorkeeper. The caucus resulted In a unanimous indorsement of Mr. liernard Layton, of Ohio, for the office. With this matter out of the way, the caucus on the suggestion of .Senator Hill took up the tariff bill for an exchange or ideas, but no definite plan of action was agreed on with reference to either the bill or anv of the amendments proposed. Senator Vilas made an animated speech urging the party to get together and present a solid front, in view of the approaching campaign, and others spoke in a similar strain. There was. In fact, a general concurrence of views on this subject, but It was evident, when particular questions were mentioned, that any attempt to put these theories into immediate practice would result in a demonstration that realization of the general wish would be difficult, if not Impossible. (iemtttn lliiMiuen- School. WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.Unlted States Consul Wagner, at Cologne, In a report to the Department of State calls attention D the excellent results attending the syvtcsn practlv.1 in Germany of educating young men for business life in special school?, aui

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. The subcommittee of the House committee on commerce la considering the report of the Nicaragua Canal Commission. The general impression among the members of the subcommittee is that the estimate of the commission for the completion of the work (RG6.0UO,COO Is entirely too high. Mr. Doolittle. of Washington, says that there arc gentlemen in the United States who can give the best of security for carrying out their contract who will agree to complete the work fcr $70,000,000. Next Tuesday the subcommittee will meet for the purpose of drawing up a rough draft of a bill for submission to the full committee. It is probable that the Morgan bill, which was before the Senate In the last Congress, will form the basis of the bill to be prepared. The guarantee of the bond of the company to an extent not excedlng $100.000, will be the main proposition. The government will secure a majority of the stock and be insured a perpetual majority of the directorate. The bill will also provide for the prosecution of the work under the inspection of government engineers and will provide for complete supervision, auditing, etc.. of all accounts by the Treasury Department. IIitslne.M of the Sues Cnnnl. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. Last year tho Suez Canal Company's receipts were 'larger than ever before, though the number of ships passing through the canal was eighteen less than during the preceding year. Tho increase in receipts is explained by the special traffic caused ty the Chlno-Japaneso war and the 'Madagascar and Abyssinian campaigns. As usual. Great Rritaln was tho principal user of the great waterway, but United States ConyuW;pneraJ Penficld, who imports upon the subject, states It is signliicant that she had ixty-four fewer vessels than in the preceding year, while Germany, making a determined light for oriental trade, had eighteen more, and the increase of ninety vessels in the French traffic: cannot be explained by war.-. Of 3,4 tdeamers passing through the canal, only four carried the United States flag. Antl-GnmbllnK Measure. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. In the House to-day Representative Gillett. of Massachusetts, introduced a bill providing that any person who Is a party to tho transmission ly telegraph, telephone, mail, express or otherwiso from one State or Territorv to another or any gambling bet or report of such bet on any race, prize tight or other event shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor punishable for the first off fense by fine or imprisonment and for subsequent offenses by Imprisonment only.

Morrison, sentenced in Georgia to ten years Imprisonment for conspiracy, and Riley Steadman, sentenced in Texas to thirty days' imprisonment and fine for bringing liquor into the Indian Territory, in loth cases on account of tho bad state of the convicts' health.

TO SPEND IT AT ONCE

cotkomj;r grows i.xdigxant at 31 R. TAtitiARTS SAFHTY. 110 Alt!) Recklessly Spending tlie Fire AppropriationWafer Trover and Nuuicroti Other Thing Ordered. At last, after due consideration, the Uoard of Safety has ordered the purchase cf a water tower. The board met last evening, and with Mayor Taggart and Controller Johnson present decided on the purchase. The board also decided to build three engine houses and spend all that 19 possible ofr the $10,000 appropriation for the fire department. Controller Johnson was inclined to be a little sarcastic In his remarks concerning the action of the board, for he entertains doubts concerning the advisability of . the purchase, and it was not made with hils advice. The board had, previous to the meeting, decided on the purchase of lets south and west for sites for new engine houses. Accordingly a communication was addressed to the Board of 'Works, asking that, a 30x120 lot on Morris street, near West, be purchased from Nicholas McCarty for $7.0; also for the purchase of a lot on West Washington street, west of the belt, which belongs to Captain Ncal. The lot Is SJxlaO feet in size, and the price to be paid is $do a frmt foot. After the purchase of these two lots the board and the Mayor began to figure on the purchase of a water tower. The co?t of Cfctintainlng one was computed, and it was recalled that two men and two horses are ncce:$ary. Controller Johnson put in an objection, which was introduced by the question: "How often will this tower be used?" "Perhaps not once a year," replied Mr. Maguirc. "Well, are you going to keep two men and two horses all year for but one run? Why have additional horses?" "We might as well not have a tower as to havo. one without horses," replied Chief Webster, who was present. "My, don't they jump every time I speak," said 'Mr. Johnson, in an undertone, and then he continued: "What is the use of getting a tower, and then having men and horses, when the thing is not going to be used but once in a year. The thing will simply rust for want of use, and when there is (i fire the men won't know hov(to work It. My opinion is that this tower business is going to prove a fake." Mr. Johnson let the board know that he would be as well pleased without a tower as with one, but his wishes were not taken seriously, for the board authorized the purchase of a seventy-five-foot tower, known as the Champion, and .manufactured in Chicago. The price is $7,fD2. The tower will be here in about sixty days, and it will be located at headquarters, on Massachusetts avenue. It is the Intention that it shall go to all llresin the central part of the city, simply for the exercise to man and beast, and to remind the public that the city owns a tower. The. tower purchased, the board figured again and. decided on the construction of two houses. One is to be built on the Morris street lot and the other on West Washington street. These houses will be known as single houses, having provisions for but one company. The No. h house, on Kast Washington street, i to be rebuilt so as to make room for the extension ladder, which goes from headquarters to make room for the tower. This arrangement will throw the ladder about a mile from the business part of the city. The Kast Washington street house is to have provision for two companies. All three of these houses, which the Roard of Works has been asked ta build on contract, will amount to about 12.&'0. The proceedings stopped again for more figuring. "Th'.nk hard, gentlemen," said Mr. Johnson, 'or you won't be able to spend ull of that ilO.Ouu appropriation." "We'll get it all In somewhere, said Mr. Maguire. That Is all risht then. I was simply afraid there would be. something left," replied the controller. While the Mayor and the board figured, Mr. Johnson bemoaned the lack of economy which is always shown, he said. In the spending of appropriations. Incidentally he referred to the piecemeal way the fire department ha of buying supplies which led him to say of the department: "If my information is correct we need a little economy and discipline in the department. What is the use of paying a lot of fellows for hanging around corner t,:oceries. A hose company went out In mv neighborhood the other evening with rut one fhv-man on the wagon, the rest ere visiting. I presume. Kconomy should be practiced in buying feed and supplies." Tho result of the board's figuring was the conclusion that thy had expended about tJS.UOO of the $4.000 . appropriation. The -board will have to have two hose wagons, horses, additional men and hose, to equip the new companies, while a $6,0Ct engine is yet to be paid for. It was thought advisable to stop, although Mr. Mack suggested that the board continue and spend all the money and get done with the. business. It is the purpose of the board to rest awhile in the matter of expenditures and see how the present estimates terminate, 'lhe board hopes to have enough lefL of tho original appropriation to build -"wo other engine houses, one In North Indianapolis and one on College avenue. Mr. Johnson says he feels sure that there will not be one cent to return to the treasury. Judge A. L. Roach has offered the ci;y a choice of two lots In North Indianapolis for building purposes. These lots will be inspected. The College avenue house Is wanteJ near the corner of Seventeenth street. The board can tell better what to do after the cost of the three engine houses contracted for Is known. In connection with the meeting last evening the model system of the Gamewell police patrol telegraph was inspected. The representatives were told that they might withdraw from the city If they choose, the board to let them know when to return. Mr. Taggart stated that they will probaVly be wanted here in a week or ten days, which Indicates the city will consider the proposition of the company. Fire alarm boxes were ordered placed at the corner of Meridian and Raymond streets and at Stoughton street and Woodruff avenue. Charges were preferred against patrolman Smith, colored, but they were not made public. A boiler at the Capitol laundry, on North Capitol avenue, was reKorted in a dangerous condition. The city as no tHiiler inspector. Mr. Johnson suggested that if the board seemed anxious to spend money an inspector might be appointed, but the matter rested by Chief Webster being asked to make an inspection.
