Tn the article on the paving wh inTie Bee yesterday morning, said, in speaking of the 6 per cent, twent year improvement bonds, that the improve. ment tax was made the highest of any for the benefits received. The word “lightest" was what was written and the compositor is accountable for the mistuke. The improve- ment tax is the lightest that the citizens are called upon to bear, Yesterday morning Justice Biggs united in marriage Paul Cliristian Anderson and Stena Anderson. The groom was granted a di- vorce from his first wifa last week. He was eogaged to Miss Stena before the divorce was granted and wanted to marry her a week ago hut his attorncy advised him to wait until the court made him a free man, other- wise he would have a thorny path to tread. He couid hardly wait for the novelty of being @ single man again to wear off before he took upon himself another wife. Some time ago the me: and fire departments wi chase regulation uniforms, During the hot weather the men were allowed some privi- leges in the way of dressing for comfort, and were permitted to discard the regulation caps and helmets.

Some time ago the council passed an ord i nance providing for the working of vagsand other inmates of the city juil, but did noth- ing in the way of enforcing it. For weeks 1t was a dead letter and promised to remain so. The chief of police determined to enforco this ordinance and accordingly laid in a sup- ply of shovels and hoes. Ofticer Tyson was detailed as *‘tramp boss,” and us soon as the prisoners were sentenced yesterday morn- ing they were turned over to the above named officer, who proceeded to equip them with tools, and then started them to work cleaning the gutters on Bryant strect. There was no difficulty whatever in getting the men to work. In fact, it was generally remarked that they did nearly double the work of the men employed by the street commissioners in the same length of time. The new plan promises to be a grand suc- cess, and the streets will be cleaned without »xpense to the city. Ofticer Tyson sees that the work is done thoroughly and keeps track of the tools. His orders on this point are strict. ‘Said the chief: *“T'yson, these shovels are charged up to you, and if one is lost you must pay for it.

Intersection bill of McAdams & Amber, amounting to £4,614.3, was allowed from the intersection fund. Bill of E. A, Wiclksham, 10, was referred to the finance committee. K. A. Wickham prot ) against such referment as he nceds the mouey, but it remamed with tho committee for examination. The bill of the same con- tractor for intersection paving at Twelfth and Broadway was allowed after deducting the amount due from the Union Pacific company for paving between street car tracks. Bid of John Gilbert for $270 was al- lowed. Bill of the same for $10 was referred back to the city engineer to a: n who did the original work. This bill was for putting a sewer connection in the alley back of the Creston house, which was supposed to Lave been done years ago, but was omitted. The proposition of the Electric Light and Power company to furnish the city light for cars was referred to the gas committec, nuel Dresbach protested against his as nent, as the amount of his stock would time amount to $100.

Woman’s World: To what is it to be traced, this utter absence of ull kinds of charms and color, which surrounds street life in London as with the dry sand wastes of a desert? Is it due to climate, to character, to atmosphere, to education? Why is it that a milk cart is o picturesque object in France or Flanders, and a hideousone in Kensing- ton or St. John’s Wood? Why is a black barge moored by Rialto delightful, and moored by London Bridge frightful? Why is the man who sells mirlitons in the Trocadero o and picturesque speetacle, and the man who sells paper toys wlong Islington a disconsolate and painful looking object? Why does a vender of gauffres in the Montagne de Cour make one wish for a peneil to sketch him, and an ambulent merchant kes in Holborn suggest on chalk ffron and general miser, v is the most ordinary object or pe son in the cities of the continent pictur- esque, and all similar things and people in the streets of London dingy and un- lovely? Why? [s the cause atmosphere, architeeture, national temperment, clic matic influences, insular melancholy, or what is it? he reasons may be various and com- plicated; the fact is plain and painful. I am inclined to believe that the mon- otony of ugliness in the London strects —buildings constructed without an iden, without a meaning, without a single grace, without any arm of light and shade, of proportion or of form—repeating its own nullity again and again, as an idiot repeats its mumb- ling nothing—affects the minds of those who live amongst it, and the sicl anwemia of the factory or the ser girl becomes the dyspepsia and the boredom of the woman of fashion; and 1 believe the hypochondria of English men and women is due much less to climate than it is to the absence of beauty about them in their daily lives, and to the unenjoying haste in which they live. The influences of beauty on the mind are never suffi- ciently remembered nor esteemed. The anxiety which would make one commit suicide in a back street off Eaton square, seems but a mote in the air as we glide through the silver water to Venetian islets, or see the sunshine glisten through the gay green leaves of the Pre Catalan or the rich vernal aisles of the Bois du Cambre.

When seauty and wealth of a great society lisplayed in its architecture, in its s, in its public pageantries and then the body of the public is g in and a gainer by them; what is left of beauty in London is wholly shut away behind the iron gates of court rds and the hall doors of noble man- sions, —— A Pill in Time, Saves Nnje!

Among the many amusing episodes that vary the routine of life at the dif- ferent seaside resorts this summer was one which illustrates the truism of Bul- wer's assertion, ‘It is difficult to know which do us the most injury in life, our enemies with the worst intentions or our friends with the best.”” It happened that in the crow@ of pleasure-seekers at one of our seaside caravansaries were two ladies who in carly times on the const held the positions respectively of mistress and maid-of-all-work butowing to one of the metallic convulsions, pro- ducing upheaval of our social s the two ladies were n@w upon equal foot- g in point of wealth.
