THIRD TICKET IN SIGHT.
Candidates for -Mayor, Treasurer
and Controller to Bo Named in
Behalf of Municipal Water.
The third ticket Unit will figure In tlio
municipal spring campaign Is in sight
and Independent nomination papers arc
expected to be filed In their behalf sumo
day this week. The limit for filing
nominations for the regular wirtles,
which, or course, places the Republi
can and Democratic organizations first,
expires today; but independent candi
dates have seven days longer In which
to file their papers.
The third ticket, as has been expect
ed, will stand on a platform that de
clares for municipal water: that Is, the
candidates will be pronounced repre
sentatives of that project and their ap
peal to the people will bo based mostly
on this.
There will be nominees for only three
oflices. These are the principal olllces
to be voted for in the spring election,
namely, mayor, treasurer nnd "control
ler. There was some talk of a com
plete ticket, but after a discussion it
was not deemed prudent to go so deep
ly into the project. There was a fear,
that grew as the suggestion went
round, that it would be loading the
ticket to have on It representatives for
every office from mayor to ward con
stable; In short, the necessity for such
11 ticket never impressed itself on those
foremost In the third ticket movement,
.so it was dismissed with the resolution
to have only three candidates, mayor,
rensuror and controlcr.
The personnel of the third ticket Is
yet In doubt, but a decision as to the
three nominees will surely be reached
within a few days. It is certain that
I j. A. Hoberts, for mayor, will head the
list. This has been decided Upon, the
decision heltur reached as soon as the
third ticket project was taken un for
discussion. The nominees for treasurer
and controller are in doubt. Kx-Couu-cllman
T. M. Xealon Is being urged
strenuously urged, It might be sold, to
be the candidate for treasurer, but as
yet he hns not given a positive answer.
As to the controllershlp, It Is talked of
that the name of George "V. fivans, the
Republican nominee, will also be m
this ticket. As In the case of the treas
urer, this is also In doubt.
In connection with this ticket, it Is
given out that the candidates, whoever
they might be, are not the representa
tives of the Municipal Owenshlp league,
vhlch was organized on Friday night.
Phis organization, it Is asserted, has no
.oimcctlon with these candidacies, and
that It stands for whatever appear
best for the city's Interests.
It seems certain that there will be
several Independent candidates forward
ofllees, particularly from the Fourth
wnrd, where there was such a hot con
test for select council. Will F, tortus,
who was defeated at the primaries, will
likely bo one of the Independent candi
dates. In the event of these independ-

Sntuitlay Nlfjht Was tho Blggoat of
tho Wack.
Suturdtiy night was tho bannei;
night of tho wools tit the Columbia
Homo company fair. The crowd In at
tendance was tho largest of the week

too. When the opening number on the
programme was called, tho hall was
comfortably filled, and before tho pro
gramme had been finished, tho spac
ious room was crowded to tho doors,
with crowds waiting for admission.
Tho programme as given In Saturday's
Tribune was carried out In full. Kvery
number wnsi iccelvcd with enthusiasm
and each was encored. The lovers of
tho tcrpslchorcun art then took pos
session of tho floor and enjoyed Im
mensely the half hour of round danc
ing which has been it great feature of
the fair. The music furnished by the
Mozart orchestra wns never better.
Euch musician became umbued with
the spirit of enthusiasm that pre
vailed all evening In tho hall and, In
fact, all week. The plum tree came In
for Its usual attention and much mer
riment was caused by the distribution
of the many varied presents. Tonight
the hull will be darkened, tho Colum
bia, company desiring to attend tho
benefit social for Fireman Charles
Hull, which will be held In Watts'

NEW NORTHWEST BREAKER.
Plans Will Be Decided on by Com
pany's Officials Tomorrow.
Plans for the now breaker to replace
the Xorthwest breaker, which was re
cently laid in ruins by the lire fiend,
have been prepared by architects and
tomorrow they will be examined by tho
company officials.
The plans comprehend, a structure
that will be mammoth in size, much
larger than the old one. The most Im
proved machinery will be instaled.
The officials of the Temple Iron and
Coal company have not as yet given
out where the new breaker will bo
erected, but It Is probable that tho loca
tion will be much nearer the mines than
the old one. By placing It nearer tho
mines a mile of track will be done away
with and better facilities offerer! lot
preparing the coal for the market.
Since the burning down of the breaker
11 number of foreigners, who were em
ployed there, have left for other parts.
If tho plans are accepted tomorrow,
work on the new breaker will be start
ed at once.

BABIES NEED COMPANY.
What Mothers with One Child Should
Consider.
I'roui the Detroit Xaws-Trtbuiie.
Unquestionably most mothers reulize
the fact that their children need com
panionship of other children in order to
make their own lives complete. But oc
casionally one sees a woman so wrapped
up In her own pleasures or ambitions
that she forgets this need of the little
one, and considers that if ho Is well
dressed and fed and keut "out of mis
chief" she hns done her d,uty, even It
he does not see another child once a
week.
This condition Is most often found
where there is but one child in the
family. The little one lives alone with
his parents, or perhaps :i nurse, plays
alone, conceives his own odd solitary
fancies, and sometimes develops an Im
agination not altogether healthy. Xow,
a child needs social life as much as his
elders, and tho first step toward fur
nishing it to him is tho realization that
he does need It. The mother who be
lieves that a child may be kept per
fect by isolating him from all outside
association may possibly accomplish
her purpose to a degree, but she should
remember that there are also other
mothers anxious to keep her children
pure nnd good, and surely she may al
low her own Intercourse with these, es
pecially If they play and visit under the
direction of older persons.
Besides, there are so many healthy
outdoor games .that children cannot
play alone, and it seems cruel Tor a
child to stand inside his own yard and
look longingly at the lawn of his neigh
bor, where a group of children Is chas
ing wildly about in a game of "I spy,"
while he Is debarred from mingling
with, them in the Innocent, healthy
romp.
A close observer, writing on this sub
ject, says: "It Is of primary Import
ance to understand that a child's stpcinl
life does not depend upon .parties, pub
lic entertainments, or any of the for
mal gatherings that we aro apt to as
sociate with the term. These only fur
nish extra occasions for social life; the
life Itself Is in the gratification of the
social Instinct leading one to seek com
panionship. The neighborhood games,
tho walks, to and fiom school with a
boon companion, the ecstatic delight or
a big attic or a barn loft with a few
chosen friends, the boy's Jaunt with an
other boy after nuts or frogs all these
are as truly social life to the child as
if they resulted from a formal invita
tion and are much more attractive.
Tho mother who leaves ull such asso
ciations to chance, and thinks because
she carefully revises tho list for a chll
dren'n party once a year, cutting out
all undesirable acquaintances, that sho
Is controlling her child's social llfo de
ludes herself, It Is the every-day asso
clations that will tell.

How I Was
By E.
THE OTHER morning I snt down
and drew forth my papers, pre
paratory to writing a scathing ar
ticle for The Future Quarterly,
which was to appear under the
Imposing title of "On Certain Phases In
the Evolution of the Ethics of Bribery
and Corruption."
I had barely begun to write the first
sheet when "A lady to see you, sir,"
said my housekeeper. "She won't give
her name, but says it Is about some
thing very particular."
"Show her up," I said.
A minute later a good-looking girl
stood In the doorway. She was young,
very shy and very uncertain as to what
she should do next.
"Good morning! You wish to see
ineV" I said, drawing the most comfort
able choir toward the fireplace.
"Yes-s," she s4ild, sitting down as she
spoke.
There was n long pause.
"I er I oh I hope I am not dis
turbing you," she said at length, bring
ing the sentence out with a little rush
and giving a glance at my papers.
"Not in the least," I murmured, turning-
my chair slightly around in order
to face her.
Another pause, during which I camo
to the conclusion that the good-looking
girl was decidedly pretty. She was
slight and graceful and wore a. small
hat, from under which her curly hair
strayed over her forehead.
First she fidgeted with her muff, out
of which she brought a bundle of ptipers
and a pattern of blue serge. The latter
was hastily replaced, while the papers
lay on her knee.
"Charity," I snlifc to myself.
"I 1 have called about your vote,"
she said at last.
I groaned luwurdly, but said, "YtsV"
In a tone that I considered encourag
ing. "And-d nnd I hope you will sup
port my uncle," she went on, not look
ing up from her occupation of strok
ing her muff.
"Your uncle Is one of the candi
dates?" I asked, feeling that something
was required of me.
"Yes-s and mamma and 1 have come
to help him," she said, as If this sim
plified matters.
"He Is fortunate in obtaining so en
thusiastic a supporter," 1 murmured.
"Oh, 1 don't know about being much
of a help," she wild hi n rather de
precatory voice, "I I offered to do
some canvassing for him, that is all.
1 don't know very much sibout elec
tions, but of course undo undestamU
all that kind of thing perfectly."
It certainly looked as If ho did under,
stand a thing or two, getting his pret
ty niece to canvass for him, I thought.
Aloud I said:
"Of course he does, but It is the
canvassing that tells when the polling
day comes. Do you find It very dls
ugroeable work?"
"1 don't know about Us being dis
agreeable," she said with a polite lit
tle smile; "but 1 am rather afraid
people think ono a nuisance when one
calls about their votes."
"On tho contrary," I hastened to as
sure her, "It helps ono to understand
tho matter clearly,."
(Personally, I felt, as I looked at tho
pretty lady sitting lu the low chair
by my (ire, that it would be a privi
lege to bo canvussed In this way every
day of the week),
"That Is exactly what undo thinks,"
sho said, getting pink with pleusure.
"Ho says a personal Interview Is worth
any amount of llteraluro upon tho
subject, but I must not forgot to leave
tho papers," she t-ald. hurriedly stiilllng
them buck In her muff In her agitation,
while I stooped to pick up a bunch of
violets which had dropped off It dur
ing tho process anil handed them back
to her.
"Oh, thank you,' Please do pot trou.
ble," Blie said in a Httlo flutter of con
fusion, tucking thein Into a nest of lace
and ribbon and giving them a little
tug to rot them In position as sho rosa
preparatory to taking her leave,
"I I don't think there Is anything
else I hud to say except except that
I hope you will give undo your sup
port," she ended, looking up with a
glance full of anxious inquiry.
.My vlowu upon 'fho advantages of the
secrecy of tho ballot rushed through
my mind as I answered: ".Most cer
tainly 1 will. After what you havo told
me I feel assured tltut your nude is
the very man we are wanting la repre
rent to un and look after our inter
ests." "Oh! 1 am so glad I huve really con
vlnced someone," said, the pretty girl,
with a blush of pleasure that wus
worth anything to see us sho gave- a
sniff of delight at the violets.

might as well go one better still.
"Then you will not forget to go and
vote when the day comes, will you 7"
she said, radiant with successful pleas
ure. "Of course not. Let me see you
said ah! what day did you mention
the election took place?" I asked, seiz
ing tho first excuse I could think of to
detain her.
"Well 11 really er I don't think. I
mentioned any day. don't you know"?'"
said my visitor in great confusion.
"Er r er the fact is I am afraid
you will think I am very stupid, .but
er I am nfrald I never thought of
asking what day the election takes
place."
"It really does not matter In the very
least." I said hurriedly. "We shall all
know when the day comes. It is stupid
of me to have forgotten, but, bollcvo
me, I shall remember it now, and go
and vote for your uncle."
"That is nil right," she said in a tono
of relief. "I will leave some of theso
papers for you," she added, putting thov.
violets down on the table by mistake.
I did not tell her of it, rearing tho
knowledge might confuse her moro
than ever. I simply opened the door" lib
she passed out and walked across tho
hall, wishing her all success In her cam
paign. She said "Goodbye," her whole faca
lit up with the triumph of her first suc
cess, and took her way down the drive,
I returned to the study.
After nutting the violets Into water
there really was nothing to prevent mo
from writing my article. I settled down
nnd read the title aloud, "On Certain,
Phases In the Evolution or the Ethics
of Bribery and Corruption," scratched
out the "on" and put "of" in place of
it. There, I stuck. I fell to thinking of?
my vldtor, and from that to wondering
If after all It was not rather far
fetched to class canvassing with two.
such ugly words as bribery and cor
ruption. The point was a nice one, I
wasted fully an hour over It without
coming to any conclusion. Finally I
gave It up. Presently I found myself
thinking that a man in my position had
no right to Ignore politics to the extent
I had done hitherto.
Gradually I saw clearly It was In
cumbent upon me to take an Interest In
the election. Yes, It was clearly my
duty to take on active Interest In the
man I had pledged myself to support.

INFLUENCE OP MUSIC. i"
Results of Experiments Made Upon
Animals in Europe.
Tho pleasing legend of Orpheus and
the wild beasts has lately been put to
the proof lu Europe In n series of tesln
to determine whether music hath
churms to soothe tho savage breast.
Xot long rlnco a concert wus given at
the poultry show at Posen. Tho fowls
listened intently.and tho only one which
did not seem pleased was an old turkoy
cock, which gave every evidence of
noisy disapproval. Herr Baler, tho vio
linist, then made a series of experi
ments In the norman Zoological Gar
dens with Interesting results. A puma
was found to be peculiarly susceptible.
As soon as the playing began ha
stretched himself and listened Intently,
giving every evidence of sensuous
pleasure. This continued as long an
the music was soft and low, but when
the movement and tempo changed nnd
the playing became loud and rapid ho
sprang to his feet, lashed his tall, and
gavo every evidence of high nervoun
excitement, as If lie were a Frenchman
listening to tho "Marseillaise."
Leopards showed complete Indiffer
ence. Tho lions were nervous and ap
prehensive, but when tho player passed
on they lay down and went to sleep.
Tho Hon cubs seemed to show a dis
position to dance when tho music was
animated, but tho older members of tho
family were evidently better pleased
with allegro measures. Hyenas were
badly frightened. Tho monkeys showed
much curiosity, but only one of them
displayed evidence of greut pleasure,
Prulrie wolves at ilrst manifested great
curiosity, but. having satisfied them
selves us to where the sounds camo
from, they arranged themselves In n,
seinl-clrclo nnd listened attentively,
When the uutslu stopped they puwed
tho player iind seemed to solicit a favor
of an encore. Tho tests are to bo con
tinued, with a view to determining It
musical perception is a trait In ull ani
mals if they get the kind of must,
which suits them, or only a nervous
manifestation in recognition of the un
usual and Incomprehensible.
