ent viaduct scheme, Joseph Oliver.
The result of the meeting was an
unanimous action In favor of Mr. Ollv
ver's plan. As t hairnuin of the streets
and bridges committee City Knglneer
F Phillips reported that, per tne request
of the board at the last meeting he had
staked out the line of the proposed
Kraileon South Unjoin avenue and that
the present aspect was favorable to the
grading of the street. Mr. Forr re
ported that $S00 In pledges had been se
cured toward the founding of the West
Side Miners' hospital. Jle thought that
the amount of pledges should reach
II.HOM. A meeting of the directors, of
I the projected hospital will be held in
the Immediate future. Common Coun-
li-ilnian Oliver slated that the belrs of
the Fellows cemetery on South Main
(ivenup, were favorable to the sale of
the plot. The bodies now Intel red. In
the cemetery could be removed. For a
number of years the board has tried to
liave a sidewalk placed in front ot the
cemetery, but so far-it has been unsuc
cessful. On motion a committee was
appointed to see the heirs of the estate
relative to the purehas? of the property.
The committee consists of John H. Fel
lows, I). I). Kvans, and Joseph Oliver
and President Mason. Mr. Farr report
ed concerning the deeding to the city
of the much wanted land on Robinson
street, owned by the Traction company,
for the purpose of paving the thorough
fare. He detallei". at length the recent
conferences with the Traction- people.
which were duly reported In The Tri
bune. Then arose the viaduct discussion.
Father Oliver explained his scheme for
the bridging of West Lackawanna ave
nue. He stated that the idea was not
original, but he had Introduced It In
councils at the Instigation of several
West Slders. The new plan has been
explained in the dally papers. He com
puted that 2.U(M) people would use the
viaduct. His Idea is to bond the city in
the sum of $150,040. With this money
the stove works and other properties
on the southerly side of Lackawanna
avenue, between Ninth and Seventh
streets, would be purchased and a 60
foot vluduct erected over the land. He
thought if a vluduct were erected in the
center or on one side of the avenue that
damages to the amount of between $10,
000 and $200,000 could be claimed by the
property owners on the street. Hut by
leaving the road clear for traffic no suits
were liable, Mr. Oliver stated that the
purchase price of the property would
be about $U'5,000. Nearly all of the gen
tlemen present spoke on the subject at
band. Mr. Phillips stated that Mayor
Council, the city solicitor, the city con
troller and Mr. Phillips had been ap
pointed a committee to secure options
on the pieces of the properties, accord
ing to the demands tw Mr. Oliver's via
duct resolution now In council.

the board take definite action and that
an endeavor be made to bring the bond
Issue before the people at the next elec
tion. He. favored West Lackawanna
avenue as a. place for a viaduct. Mr.
Karr dwelt at length upon the necessity
of the A-laduct. The sentiment of the
members was in favor or Mr. Oliver's
plan and on motion by Mr. Karr. sec
onded by several members, the board,
endorsed the proposed vladtfrt. A com
mittee consisting of Messrs. Farr, Dan

tend the Joint meeting of councils to
night and urge the members to pass
Mr. Oliver's resolution. William Mume,
(. F. Eynon and Jenkln W. lteese were
elected to membership in the board.
During the meeting the following print
ed circular was read by the secretary:
Now that politicians have had their say
and by their Intemperate actions have en
dangered the peace between the two Kng-lish-Kpeaking
nations, it is suggested that
the business men of this country speuk out
as loudly und effectually. The Interests
of the people n both countries, are no close
ly interwoven by social und commercial
ties that the very suggestion of an Inter
iifclne war is almost criminal. True pa
trolism and diplomacy will alwuvs ex
haust every posslle -means for the solution
of international differences before resort
lug to the savagery of arms. (Ireater dlf
rtcoltles than the present have been amica
bly and honorably arranged with (lieat
Britain by arbitration. This has become
the accepted mode. With great deference
1 take the liberty of suggesting that you
give expression to the friendly feeling
which is al the bottom of out- builness re
lations by sending a message, by cable
gram or otherwise, addressed to some par
ticular or kindred hoard of trade on the
other 'side, you making the selection, giv
ing assurance of fellowship and good will.
Trusting this may meet with your views
and hoping it may accomplish much good,

Pittsburg, Jan. 7. At a largely at

Har association today, women lawyers
received professional recognition. This
city boasts of two female lawyers. Re
cently a committee from the bar asso
ciation, In drawing up recommenda
tions of conditions for admission, re
ported against admitting females to
practice. Today, after some fiery, dis
cussion, the bar association rejected
this report by an almost unanimous
vote. Attorney J. M. Stone argued that
If women were admitted they might be
come Judges.
He thought this would injure the dig
nity of the bench. "Court might have
to adjourn." he said, "while her honor's
baby was teething." M. A. Woodward
said the admission of women would act
as a needed refining Influence upon law
yers generally.

ADVANTAGE OfIxSTITITES.
Professor Hamilton's Advlco-lle Pis
cusses at Length the Cause of Jo
pression in I arming Enterprise.
Hurrisburg, Jan. 7. Prof. John Ham
ilton, the deputy secretary of agricul
ture and director of farmers' institutes,
has submitted his report which will be
Included in the forthcoming report of
the department of agriculture. He
points out the features of the new law
governing the holding of Institutes and
shows the advantage of It. His main
idea lias taken form in an Invitation
to all agricultural and horticultural
societies and kindred organizations to
appoint one of their members to meet
with a board of Institute managers In
each county, the local member of the
state board ot agriculture presiding.
Granges, alliances and all organiza
tions will hereafter be represented In
the management of the institutes. Prof.
Hamilton discusses at some length the
causes of the depression of the agri
cultural Industry, which Is gradually
crowding men out of the country and is
sending them to towns and cities to
struggle for existence. He says the de
partment of agriculture has been es
tablished and equipped with a view of
ascertaining how the hard conditions
that have come can be relieved and
this foundation occupation restored to
Its former prosperity and thrift.
The cost of the fertilization of the
farms In Pennsylvania and the develop
ment of the virgin soils of the far west
are mentioned as one of the chief
causes of loss to the farmers of this
state. The growth of cities, together
with the development of manufactur
ing and othei Industries hasalso brought
about a rise In the price of labor upon
which agriculture is dependent. There
Is also the uncertainty of the climate
occasioned by the clearing off of our
forests and tho consequent Interfer
ence with the water supply as well as
the danger from sudden flood.
The growth of great trusts which
manipulate the sole of farm products
Is also one of the evils complained of.
Lack of knowledge of what is not de
manded of the farmer is another rea
son for the present uphill experience
of the agriculturalists and to remedy
this as far as possible the department
of Institutes has been organized. The
services of trained men will be secured
to disseminate the proper Information
through institutes.
PHOTOGRAPH THE UNSEEN.
Marvelous Invention That Pictures Even
Internal Wonnds.
London, Jan. 7. The noise of war's
alurms should not distract attention
from a marvelous triumph of science
which Is reported from Vienna. It Is
announced that Professor Houtgen, of
the Wurzburg university, has discov
ered a light which, for purposes of pho
tography, will penetrate wood, flesh
and most other organic substances.
The professor succeeded In photo
graphing metal weights which were
Inclosed in a wooden Vase, also a man's
hand which shows only the bones, the
flesh being Invisible.
The Chronicle correspondent says the
process Is simple and us follows: "He
takes the so-called Crookes pipe, viz.: a
varum glass pipe, with an induction
current going through It, and by means
of the rays which the pipes emits, pho
tographs on ordinary photograph plates.
In contrast with the ordinary rays of
light. Those rays penetrate organic
matter and other opaque substances
Just as ordinary rays penetrate gluss."
The professor has also succeeded in
photographing hidden metuls with a
cloth thrown over the camera. The
rays penetrated not only the wooden
ease containing the metals, but the fab
ric in front of the negative. The profes
sor is already using his discovery to
photograph broken limbs and bullets in
human bodies.
