The COMMON COUNCIL.

Regular meeting of the Common Council of the city of Rensselaer was held Monday evening, all the members being present except Councilman Murray. Following proceedings were had: Four remonstrances filed against the proposed street improvements, which included the two sections of Cullen, Vine and Forest. On motion the entire street improvement proceedings were dismissed and the whole matter is off for this season, the vote standing Dean, Spitler, Eger and McColly aye; Gwin, nay. Attorney E. P. Honan appeared for the remonstrators and presented some cold facts for the council’s consideration, and the matter was dropped without even opening the bids that had been filed. A resolution was adopted empowering the street committee to purchase the necessary gravel and crushed rock for repairing the gravel and macadam streets of the city. Property owners along the alley south of Hanley & Hunt’s law office asked city to cut down said alley to proper grade and the petitioners would then macadam same. Proposition accepted. .

A MORAL FROM FRANCE.

Indifference of the People Toward the French Parliament. The French parliament is not what it was during the first decade of the third republic. There has been in its members a decline in political capacity, debating power and representative character. When a general election takes place there is intense interest in public affairs, but small politicians' force their way into prominence as candidates-, and are cnosen by universal suffrage. The chamber of deputies does not, therefore, adequately represent the country, and consequently does not command its respect. The British house of commonsisdn touch with a wide range of public interests. There are now among its members fewer orators and fluent debaters than there were ten years ago, but the house has seldom had a higher average of character and ability. Among its members are titled landholders, millionaires and bankers, merchants and manufacturers, shipbuilders and ship-owners, mine owners and miners, retired officers of the military and naval services, lawyers and men of letters, workingmen and land agitators. It representsi the varied interests of the United Kingdom. In the French chamber of deputies there are few manufacturers, bankers, large landholders and highly educated men. The majority of the members are journalists, advocates and minor politicians; noisy and excited talkers, who possesss neither the mental qualities essential to statesmanship, nor an adequate knowledge of public affairs. Herein lies an explanation of the comparative indifference with which the struggle between civil and military governments in the Dreyfus case has been regarded in France. The army, recruited by general conscription, is directed by parade-ground warriors and a corrupt staff of intriguers! The government of the day is at the mercy of a mob of small politicians who do not possess the confidence of the country. If the general average of character and ability of the deputies were higher than it is, the struggle between rival powers in the state would be short and decisrive. Rural France now careslittle whether the wire-pullers in the army or the wire-pullers in parliament secure supremacy in the nation’s councils. Americans may take warning from ■ France-. Happily, we are not exposed . to the hazards of a struggle between i civil and military power, but the safe i guard of our people is a national legisI iature which adequately and honestly ! represents thrir„ manifold interests. As the standards of membership in either house of the American congress are raised or lowered, the efficiency of our institutions and the well-being of the nation are strengthened or impaired.—Youth’s Companion.

MAY SEE A THIRD CENTURY.

Massachusetts People Bom ioo Years Ago Still Hale and Hearty. The oldest man in Worcester county, certainly the oldest man in the town of Barre, and one of the oldest Harvard college men living, is Dr. William Lambert Russell. Dr. Russell, according to the Worcester (Mass.) Spy, was born in Carlisle, in the part,of that town which was for-l merly a portion of Concord. October 28, 1799. The doctor had one sister and three brothers; one of his brothers- is still living, and is nearly 92 years of age. In 1831 Dr. Russell re ceived hi? degree of M. D. from Harvard medical school. lie manages his own business affairs, and is a director in the First national bank, at whose meetings he is a constant attendant. He has held various town offices, and has l been a member of the school committee for a long term of years There is in the town of Berlin one life which began in the eighteenth century, which has lasted through so much of the nineteenth, and which may possibly remain here to greet the twentieth. Rebecca "Whitcomb was born in Bolton November 27, 1799, being the second of ten children of Silas Whitcomb and Lucy Eveleth. In the old town of Harwick, living, as it were, among the flowers of a commodious bay window in a fine old farmhouse known as Hillside home, is Mrs. Sophia Wheeler, who bids fair to see the dawn of the twentieth century, having already lived in two centuries. The grand old lady is a product of New England, having been born in Randolph, Vt., December 11, 1799. Mrs. Wheeler is the eldest and only survivor of a family of seven children. In 1825 she married John Wheeler and went to Rutland, where seven of their eight children were born. The three son?, now living, are Moees, in Springfield; Charles, in Barre, and George, in Oakland, Cal.

Milk for Burning Oil.

An Italian medical journal states, according to the New York Medical Journal, that while water will not quench the flame of burning petroleum in a limited space, milk accomplishes the object by forming an emulsion with the oil, disturbing ita cohesion, and thus attenuating the jombustible element.

ARMY UFE . WilW of C. Warner, of Bristol, Vt.. left its mark on him in what physicians called a “hopeless case" of heart disease. He tells how bis life was spared. “In two phyaidaas pronounced my case hopeless, and said I had heart disease in its wont form; that it was useless to doctor, nothing would cure me. In March, *97,1 took Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure and have not had a symptom of the disease since. It saved my fife.’’ DR. RULES?

HUSBANDS GUARANTEED.

No Woman Need Remain Unmarried ia Siam. There is one country in the world, where all the women, no matter how plain they may be, can be certain of securing husbands. In fact this is guaranteed to them by law. Thia country where none need remain i> -ingle blessedness is Siam. There every woman who has reached a certain age without finding a husband, can if she will only express the wish, be registered as one of the “young daughters of the king,” that is, she is placed under royal protection, and the king must provide her with a husband. This duty is discharged very simply. If any male Siamese commits a crime, or even is guilty of a misdemeanor. he is neither fined nor sent t« prison, but is. condemned to marry one of the women officially under the protection of the king. If their violation of law has not been very serious they are permitted to make a selection, from among these “royal daughters,* but if the crime has been a grave one the malefactor is compelled to marry that one selected by the court, and of course she is the ugliest or worst-tem-pered of them all. Owing to this ingenious system no woman in Siam need go through the world unmarried, but perhap? some of the ladies from New England—and others—would' prefer not to marry under conditions such as these.—Cleveland Leader.

ALPINE GUIDES.

Will Hereafter Have to Receive a Special Training for Their Vocation. The central committee of theSwisw Alpine club has decided to take under its own charge the protection of! the Alpine shelters, the Cervin andi the Eggishorn, and to cover the necessary expenses by grants from ihot central fund. The same committee l has drawn up a new scheme of rule* for the instruction and training mountain guides, publishing the fok lowing regulaticn-: The cbject of the sememe being to create & corps of" guides equal in qjl respect? to mands of their calling, the grants subventions for a series of courses for the training of guides, these courses to be followed in all Alpine districts. The minimum age for following this period of instruction; is to be 20, and the young men selected must lie vigorous and of sound constitution. Each course of training in' thtis department will last for ten days, and in order to obtain a diploma the. guides must satisfy the committee on: the question of their responsibility towards tourists, their duties in case of accidents, the signalling of casualties, and affording first aid to the injured. They are also do be examined) on the topography of their the care and keeping of the mountain; huts, and their knowledge of load maps. Other points to be dealt witk are the geography of questions of tariff, neatness n* thoroughness of equipment,and practical work in mountain climbingJ There will be two diplomas, of finfc and second class. Swiss guides'are, according to this scheme, to be divide* into two categories, the first elase being placed under the control of the cantonal governments and. receiving their license from them; th© aecon* will work under a section of the Alpine club, receiving their licenses from the central committee.—Zurich Correspondence London Times.
