This will be remedied, sosays the city council. The mars been in- structed to order a discontinuance of this practice, and a filling of the walk to grade. This work is to be done with- out delay. There is a great deal of complaint from various parts of the city on ac- count of the lamentable condition of sidewalks. The city council has taken the proper action relative to the matter. The sidewalk committee will make an examination of the walks in all portions of the city, and make immediatd report to the council, who will order the neces- sary work done immediately. Prof. C. H.

It seems that in Hall’s, when the addition was platted and sold more land was given in the measurements than there was in the addition. To make good this shortage, and each man get what he paid for, the property owners have run their lines into the streets.

Some time ago a city paper took ocea- sion to criticise the, what it termed, ac- tions of Alderman Lacy, relative to cer- tain public improvement work which had been completed. The doughty al- derman denied any such action as charged, and demanded an examina- tion by the city council and board of trade (the latter to represent the busi- ness interests of the city). The council designated the mayor and newly elected members as an investigating commn tee. That committee has made its re- port, which states that a full investiga- tion of the char; ges has been made and nothing has been found in the actions of the aldermen in question to warrant such charges, This rt was received at the last meeting of the council, adopted without dissont, and ordoved spread vpon mo records. ~— 8.

Many Hands Through Which a Cola Passed in a Few Hours, Curiosity as to how a coin traveled about from one vocket to another and what the character of the diffgrent hands it passed through prompted a re- porter for the Phil nlolphm Record to pursue an erratic nickel rocently. So after putting a private marik upon the coin it was spent for a cigar and then followed about town for a few hours. After lingering in a cigar store for a few moments a howling dude came in and bought n package of ‘“cigavottes,” receiving the mar ked vaLl with some otner coins, in chunge. He walked down Chesthut street o short distance and invested the nickel in a lunch cafe. From ths place it went to a little boy with ragged clothes and tattered shoes, who sold some pupers there. The boy van wildly up the street and jumped on a rapidly moving car, giving the repor- ter a mighty big tusslo to keep up with bim. On the car an elderly man bought two of the evening papers and received the marked nicisel as part of his 2hange out of a quarter. About a dozen blocks away he gotoff the car and gave the traveling coin to a fruit vender in pay- ment for some apples. “The coin was placed upon the stand with some others, but it did not remain there long, for when the swar thy Italian turned his back for u moment a sneak- ing young mun cume along and grabbed a hundful of the money, and then dis- appeared in the crowd without being observed, save by the reporter. The thief had the nickle and he was closely followed, A few squares away there was given an exhibition which showed conclusively that there are tender places in the hearts of even the hardest criminals, An old woman, nmmrnuny blind, sat on the edge of the sidewalk nearest the gutter, grinding tunes fram a wheezy music box.
