LINCOLN'S UNIQUE CHARTER. | Opinions of an Ex-Oouncilman on Paving and Sewerage. A DEFENDANT'S QUEER ANSWER Boring For Mother-in-Law Held on to the Property—-Will scort the Chinese Minister. IPROM THE WEE'S TINCALN HUREAT. Oneof the gentlemen who has been | prominent in agitating the matter of pro- viding Lincoln with a decent scwerago system, was asked yesterday by the Bee ropresentative whether it was dead or only sleeping. “Neither,” was the im- mediate answer. “When Colonel War- ing was engaged to prepare plans for the rk it was well understood by the coun- cil, and the committee of eitizens that co- operated with that body, that it v a matter that could not be rushed through. To prepare thorough, comprehensive plans requires time, and Colonel Waring is not the man to spoil or injure such a work by undue haste. Besides, I don’t know why we should be in a hurry about getting the plans. There are a number of important matters that must be at- tended to before they can be used. For instance, steps must be taken to bond the city, or district, for the amount necded to construct the sewers, some $70,000, I believe. ‘Then wo must arrange for an engineer to supervise the work., Ibe- lieve we have an engineer now who is |m|ll for what he does in that line, by the hour or day, but the char: wr provide Ll N no case must his salary ed $200 a year. Of cou no one can think for a moment of doing anything for that beggarly sum, That el or of ours is the most absurd picee of pa aw. 1t seems to have been devised by narrow minded men for the express purpose of hamper- ing the council, in fact treating them as if they were a lot of thieve It is tink- ered over every two years, but the same end is always in view. One of its most absurd provisions that in no pubile work must th al outlay vary $500 from the est t. Now any man that has e y building knows how impossible it is to adhe osely to the estin even on small jobs, On work of magnitude, where $100,000 is in- volved, itis out of the question. The only way for the council to do in handling this sewer business is to ignore the char: ter entirely. They must go on and build the sewers just as they would a private job, and en; a competent engineer at a living sa 1o see that the work 1s properly done. The tnx{myim{ public will bear them out init. We had the same difliculty to face in building our water works, and it we had allowed ourselves to be hampered by that bugbear of a charter the people would have b wing their water from wellsand cisterns to-day."” Gradually the conversation drifted to- ward paving, and the ex-councilman’ opinion was asked as to the material needed, the manner of paying for it, ete. Hesaid: “I am in favor of stone for all streets below Ninth, where the heavy teaming is done, and asphalt tor everything above Ninth. The road- bed on all streets should be cut down to sixty feet by extending the sidewalks, and the street railway companies should be compelled, not onlyto pave between their sracks, but on the outside for a foot, or far as the ties or y])l:mks axtend. I think the ten year plan of assessments, too lon,f. The payements re only warranted for fiye years, and hen, when recovered, for five more. ‘We should aim to haye them paid for be- fore they are replaced.” THE PENY & HARRIS FAILUR Messrs. Peny & Harris, the Tenth street jewelers, confessed judgment in the district court yesterday in favor of the Meridian Silver Plate company on four promissory notes, aggregatjng 060.71. Owing to poor business the firm as been in financial straits for anumber of months, and in February last f ehattel mortgages on their stock and fix- fures to secure important creditors. An srrangement was made by which the #irm were to continue in possession of #he goods until the 18th of May, at which time the stock remaining on hand will be #old at auction. The linbilities, so far as ®an be ascertained, foot up $4,248.55. The rincipal creditors are: J. B. Trickey, Ancoln, $525; New Haven Clock com- ny, $1,494.50; Otto Young & Co., Chi- zgu. 1,254 Meridian Silver Plato eompany, $69.71 The stock is worth at #ho outsido, $2,500, and will just about pay off the claims of the two first named creditoss who hold prior liens. % DEFENDANT'S QUEER ANSWER. Last winter Charles MeNair, 8 bock: binder, was badly frozen while intoxi- ated, and lost the fingers of his right E\md incapacitating him_from work at is trade. Mrs. Eliza McNaiv, his wife, rought an action under the Slocumb w, on behult of hersclf and minor #hildren, against M. Glass and his bonds. :un,_nlluzmg that McNair had be< 10 Itoxioatod m the Jattor's izce, and wsk- ewvvrdamages tor loss support. f. torday Glass filed an answer in which h-‘r‘dalkm that a legal marrlage relation exists between thgphlmifl' and McNair, and llupufl\l ;da paternity of the children. Mrs. McNair's assertion that the injured man was & skilled workman and that his wagoes amounted to $15 o week, is also controverted. Further than tins, the claim that the defendant was repeatedly notifigd niot to sell McNair liquor is specitically denied. Part of the answer, at least is novel, but bardly to be commended. TAPPING A VEIN OF BRINE. After a number of gravating breaks and other drawback: . Bulloc| who ave drilling the test well in th salt basin, have got fairly to wor are pushing the hole down through the earth at a rapid rate. Saturday th drill penetrated a six foot straia of gravel at a depth of 118 feet, and brine of nbout twenty-two degroes of density was se- cured. Anything over fifty degrecs will be profitable, and the gentlemen who have the work in charge are sanguine of securing brine of much grenter strength without going to an excessive depth. UNVEILING THE FAMILY 8KELETON, Johu L. Fostor and his wife Mary are applicants in the courts for an order cancelling the deed by which Rachel Damrow and her husband Christian hold ntle to lot 4, block 207, in this city.

ROOMS, RABBLE AND ROULETTE. The Palace and Prince of Mona Rapacity of the Ruler—Tho Profits of the Gambling Tables. Blanche Roosevelt, writing to the Chicago Times from Monte Carlo, under date of April 10th says: Protty name - Monte Carlo—isn’t it? Anditis by far the prettiest place I have ever scon. The town is sot in tho old hillside as a mosaic is sct in an antique ceiling. Itis a dream of white marble palaces and villas sur- rounded by gardens whose roses are ever in bloom, whoso pine and olive emboswer it in everlasting green, whose orange trees bear flowers, fruit and perfume, and whose walks are scented like a path- way in a hot-house, with the exception that one is nat , the other artific bloom. Just imagine stroliing down a county lane foasting your eyes on purple hills at your i and a sapphire se rippiing at your feet.

If you do not love nature untiringly there is nothing to do 1t Monte Carlo but eating, drinking and gambling, especially the latter, which hegins at 12 noon and goes on until 11 p. The Casino is Monte Carlo, and is il which CONSTANTLY ATTRACTS THE MOTH. People gamble from sheer desperation, and yery few stop more than two or three days, but, on the contrary hve in residences at Nice, Mentone or Cannes, cities one distant either way from the town. ve moral novels are filled with vivid pictures of this un- wholesome, immoral } but when youcome down to the question of the Casino being a heart-rending spectacle, and peole all wearing haggard, anx aces, I wish to say that is the che S| gayest Casino 1 have over seen. Every- body looks happy, and I have yot to re- mark the desperate, anxious eye so much talked about—in fact, the fabled univer- sal wretch, ruined by one visit to Monte Carlo. Lhe truth is that gambling here is not a whit worse than games of chance anywhere clse. Then the loto, wh keeps nations on the qui vive for wind- falls, from lucky numbers; then the buy- g or seiling short in the Chiengo grain market; then the railrogd syndicates of Wall street, the financial fantasies of the Paris bourse, or the oriental crazes of the London stock exchange.

After that the crowd comes and the rabhls be gins. In theso lofty chambers one sound alone predominates—the chink, chink, chink, of falling wmoney, dropping m chanically, oternally, with the monot- onous monody of an endless circular chain, going ronnd and round, stopping at the same places, re-echoing the same rhythm, which after a while becomes so insupportable that you would rush any- where, do unrylhing desperate, in fact, to escape this horribie succession of most hovrible sounds. There is one conversa- play; one universal talk of systems, ch scenes at the tabies as beggar n. ! ECTABLE-LOOKING WOMEN taking up the wrong pile so often that the eroupier plainly ealis them thieves, others fizhting over 5-franc pieces, yell- ing: “This is’ mine; I put my money on such a number.”” Then the crowd inter- fering, a vagrant hand in_the meanwhile deftly stealing over some incensed shoul- der and making off with the disputed wealth whilst the rabble rave again. The croupier shrugs his shoulders, sereams “Failes vos Jeux'—the sound of chink, chink begins; once more the roulette starts, and sooner than could write it the best or worst is known. There are three rooms;the first two devoted to roulette, the last being for the trente- et-quarante tables, of which there are two. Here nothing less than a napoleon can be played, There is little quarrel- ing—none, in fact. The crowd looks de- cent, and the atmosphere is quite respect- able. Failing go d and bank notes have a more subducd sound than tho ring of those filthy 5-frank pieces. In fact, the latter vulgarize play by their littleness, and excite our disgust. ~ As we condemn one who steals a dollar and condone one who steals a million, in the same way we must look at the difference in the profes- sional gamblers and aristocratic players at Monte Carlo. In life we are not much by results as by the vulgar detail of tting at those results, I advise all who come to Monte Carlo and wish to be RESPECTED AS FASHIONABLE FLAYERS ~in short, taken for ladies and gentlemen ]—m plu‘yk!n m:‘ul:nm ex-gunrnml\;lrwnfi n spes is gambling tables, Blane mh.!n‘"l‘mnm ft qual ‘nlo est te vol.

He has just paint- grand portrait of the pope, the which portrait, a little bird told me, is going to be exhibited in America next season. Cardinal Howard says Thad- deus’ picture is not only the best likeness he has seen as the pope, but is the best portrait of his holiness extant. He is seen without his habitual smirk, and the face wears a seriousness which, sty well on ono of such exalted an estate, There is no woaknoss 1n these trits_aud e wnole 18 as characteristie of Leo AlLL as can possibly be imagined. Mr. Thad- deus was lmpJ)i[y inspired, and can be congratulated on his success. He has given to the Catholic world a reproduc- tion of their chief which bids fair to be- come as celebrated as the renowned por- trait of Pius IX. in his sweet smile, be- benign attitude, and pontifical robes. Visitors are still flocking to Monte Carlo, for gambling goes on the year round. This play will never be stopped aslong as n prince of Monaco exists, This royal gentleman is the backbone of the roulet tables, and his rapaeity is something colossal. The croupiers tell strange tales. If his highness expresses a wish for a yacht, forthwith a yacht steams into Monaco's harbor. Should he request two yachts, one would lie in the harbor, the other in wait outside in the bay. He keeps up a system of ROYAL BLACKMAIL, strange in a gentlgman, odious in a no- bleman, but natiral to a descendant of the pirate Grimaldi,ancestor and founder of the princely thowse of Monaco. His highness is old, blind and disabled, but his ears are ever open to the souud of money falling into his kingdom and coflers, Once a yesr all the servants of Monaco are permitted to go and gamble at the green tables. * This memorable oc- casion, oh, \gh | wronyl~is on the prince’s birthday.” There is rarely a change of \-nh-m?’lh in the l.rinrum(‘ity. Domestics become wpart ot the place, as stones a part of ithe hills. Allen Thorndyke’ Rice is said to have “shaken the bank" &t Monte Carlo. Th is nonsense. He once dropped a fe louis by way of ‘pastime, and by chai doubled them, bug: he never played higl enough to break any trent-et-quarante table here, and will' probably finish, should he ' play again, by leaving his ;umll gains wYxerc he first took them rom. i A WonderfulsFreak of Nature is sometimes exhibited in our publie ex- hibitions @ guze upon some of the p dame nature oocas- ionally indulges m, our minds revert back to the creation of man, *‘who is so rfully and wonderfully made.” The mysteries of his nature ‘have been un- raveled by i of Bufiulo, and throy e of th mysteries A il pre his *“Golden Modical Discovery,” w is a specific for all blood taints, poisons and humors, such as scrofula, pimples, blotches, eruptions, swellings, tumors, I‘l:«tu and kindred aflections.

Then we have the dry goods salesmen, the grocer, the hard- ware men, hats and caps, and others as numerous as there aro trades and facto- rie: aveling men, " this gentleman con- ‘“are, as a rulo, bright, gencrous They spend frculy, and many of them, when they become old and leave the road, find themselves poor. We have now u project to_tuke care of disabled traveling men. Itis a traveiing men's home, to be endowed by traveling men and to be devoted to their use. The idea is that each one of tho 50,000 travelers to give $1 1 year for the next three yea to such an institution. This will make a total of $240,000 and from this we will buy a farm in Kentucky, or some other good locality, and erect comfortable Puildings, with reading-rooms, parlors and chambers, so that the ocgupants_gan bave all the comferts of 31l quring their declining years. Wil further endow the home by 8 %ear or two more of contribntitng, and the institution will be under the care of a eompetent board ot managers. ‘This project is, 1 understand, to be submitted to the next annual meet- ing of merchant trayelers. It has many supporters among traveling salesmen, and I will not be surprised if it is carried out.” PILES!

The Only Cure For Consnmption (From the Washington, D. C. National Republican) ‘The pructico of drenching the human stomach with cod liver ofl for consump- tion, is fast falling into disuse.
