Weller, Tripp, Clark, Stevens, Keefe and Nevins being present. Alter reading the minutes a report of the board of health and a request for an appropriation was | read. Oa motion the following | bills were ordered paid: Board of health appropriation $1; Spalding | Library Association appropriation | #2; bill of William Ervay, architect, for plans of Fourth ward hose house $35.50. Also several general bills were paid. Mr. Tripp asked whether thie firemen had any right to sell prop- | erty that was on the lot purchased for fourth ward hose house, and stated Lirther that some stone had been sold to Gregory and carted away. It was understocd that when the borough paid $600 for the lot and $25° for what was on it, that they acquired the owner:hip of everything thereon. This -matter was left to the committee to in- vestigate. r. Tripp of the special coms mittee on heating the buildings stated he and Suttor and N:vins had examined the beiler in city hall and found it burned out so badly that it could not be repaired, and that its heating capicity was too small to heat all of the rooms; that when it was necessary to hea! the upper story they werc obliged to shut ¢ff the pipes in the lower part of the building. Mr. Sutton was not able to be present on account of illness. The committee had consulted with T S. Newman in regard to cost of a new heater, and he was present to explain to the council what he could do. Mr. Newman then showed plans, stating that he could | put fh a boiler for $300 that would furnish 810 feet of radiation, or ope for £350 that would be capable of 1100 feet radiation. The present boiler could not have a capacity of over 600 feet and was in such con dition that it could not be repaired Mr Tripp recommended that they purchase the £350 heater which would be furnished complete for that sum, At this point Dr, Stevens stated that he had been making an estimate of the borough expen ses and found that it will be neces- sary to increase the taxes or econo mize. Mr, Keefz said he was not prepared to vote on the proposition uatil he had examined into the matter, and so it was finally decided to defer action one week, and that a special adjourned meeting be held Oct. 8 to determine what shall be done, and the old committee should be retained until final ac'ion should be taken. The secretary stated that he had received bids for coal. Stacy would furnish it for $5 Go for stove coal and $3 Go for pea coal. Meyer put in a bid at $5.62 for screened coal and 34 for pea coal. Oa motion the matter was deferred until the question of heater was settled. Street Commissioner Mulligan stated that there were sidewalks in several parts of town that nceded to be repaired or new ones built. The matter was” held for further consideration, Adjourned to meet Oct. 8. Cheap Rates West The Erie Railroad Is agala offering very low rates to the Pacifio Coast and other western points.

It was in 1562 she made her debut in Racine's “Iphigenie,” at the time a young girl of 18. A Famous Unitarian Divine A very Interesting old rian is Dr. Robert Collyer, the blacksmith parson. Dr. Collyer was born In Yorkshire, England, 82 years ago. In that country he learned {Le (rade of blacksmith, and worked al {i for ten yairs after he emigrated to America. In denominaticnalism Le was first a Methodist, afterwards a Ualtarlan. For a quarter of a century Dr. Collyer was pastor of the Church of the Messiah in New York, and is now pastor emeritus. Previous to his New York charge he was identified for a score of years with the religious life of Chicago. He went to Chicago as Unitarian missionary and founded Unity church there of which he was pastor from 1860-79. Dr. Collyer rendered invaluable help to the stricken people of this city at the time of the great fire, Lis dauntless courage and robust helpfulness acting as constant inspiration A hard-working preacher {s the kind Robert Collyer bas always been, it is only recently he retired from active labors. During the war he felt called to active work in the fleld; was one of tho chief promoters of the work of the sanitary commission, and visited personally the different army camps to find out conditions. help where he was able. The vigorous young man Is a vigorous old man, still deeply Interested lo the progress of the world. Dr. Cbilyer has been called over-optimistic, but this attitude in a man of ripe years and full of honors scems to us most refreshing. "OF the House of The Belmonts asa best known as financiers, sportzmen and men of fashion. August has re- cendy had publication called to him In his office as president of the National Civie Federation He 15 head of the firm that is the American rep- resentative of the Rothschilds, 1s the son of ths August Belmont that received his early education in Frankfort and settled In New York as agept for the Rothschilds. The father's father wad a landed proprietor, 20 we find the present August belonging to at least the third generation of wealth, Both August Belmonts are recorded as famous financiers. The son hag great and willely diver: sified Interests; he Is president, trustee or direct or in at least 35 corporations. He is president of New York's new rapid transit underground rallway, for (ts ccostruction advanced the enor- mous sum of $36,000,000, He has strong Interests outside of his finan- clal. operations; like his father, very fond of horses, he is president of the American Jockey club, a most enthusiastic turfman. But commerce and sport do not prevent Mr. Belmont from performance of bis citizenship duties, he takes keenest interest in public matters. The father was prominent in the financial and public life of the country, served as United States minister at The Hague, and whilst there negotiated a very Important consular convention. He was for many years chairman of the national democratic committee. The Belmont sons have long been powers in democratic politics. The elder Belmont married a daughter of Commodore Perry, and the well- known Perry Belmont is a namesake of the famous naval hero. The Marquis Spencer Turner Mansfield produced his “Arms and the This titled gentleman is an American, his title bestowed upon him by the late Pope Leo XI1lL, the marquis a member of the papal nobility. He niakes his home In Rome, Is closely connected with the household of the pope. The marquis’ father, recently deceased, was a wealthy Brooklyn merchant and left a large estate to be divided among the various members of his family. That part of Lis will dealing with the bequest to his son Spencer is most unusual; not attempting the complicated technical phrase- ology, the purport is something like this: That J. Spencer Turner shall have only the income from the sum of $200,000 as Jong as he remains single, but the principal shall be turned over to him ime mcdiately upon his entering Into the wedded state. In case he never marries, hoe shall be queath the property 10 a person or persons lineal descendant of the father. Much surmise is agag : concerning this very unusual testament. We have had wills galore, In fact and in fiction, prohibiting legatees from matrimony, but this encouragement to double harness Is rare. The young gentleman so peculiarly placed is now In this country, whether in search of a wife or not deponent saith not. The father was a Baptist, the son {s an ardent Catholic. Prior to his adoption of the Catholic religion he was a viear in the Episcopal church. It Is reported that the father feared his son might be moved to become a priest. and that this means was taken to dissuade him from such a step; the son, how- ever, dacries such a supposition, asserts that his father was no bigot, that he gave Ia his charities to Catholic and Protestant alike, that he never objected to the son's connection with the Cathollie church, nor was at all displeased when his sister also adopted the falth of this church. The marquis denjes that he has any idea of turning priest, avers that he has no intention of taking vows of celibacy The Marquis Turner must often these days put to himself the question “To be, or not to be;” and with interest the public will watch the career of an Lelr that Is #0 warmly encouraged to take a wife.
