held their regular monthly meeting
last evening. 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.

The Divine Sarah
From over seas comes thi® year lo our shores
and sufliciently big inland towns the great Sarah
Bernhardt. She, or at least her manager does,
calls this her farewell American tour, A wag
asks which one.
Reports tell of the need the famous actress
has for the American dollar, that her theater in
Pariz, the Sarah Bernhardt, may pot again be
cpensd unless she reap a rich harvest in this
country. Undoubtedly the rich harvest will be
forthcoming
Bernhardt is 61 years old, according to the
records, but as regards vitally and spirit she is
a perion of elernal youth We are apt to think
of-her as thoroughly French, but she really Is of
French and Dutch parentage, and though bap-
tized into the Christian faith and brought up in
& convent, was born a Jewess,
One realizes the years that have passed over
fhe head of the great tragedienne, in reviewing
her triumphs, which read something like this: It was in the latter part of
the sixties her genius began 10 be recognized, in her portrayal of the queen
of Spain in “Ruy Blas” and of Zanefta in Coppee's "Passant.”” At the close
of the Franco-Prussian war, the Theater Francais, where she made an Incon-
spicuous debut, recalled her, and shortly she became a regular member of the
company. une of her notable successes was as Dona Sol in Hugo's “Hernanl.”
In 1579 she achieved a great triumph in London. 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.
