The Y. M. C. A. is planning on putting up a now building , to bo ready for occu pancy within two years. The street car company put a safe into the olllcc in the car stables yesterday in which to store their wealth. The police made no arrests yesterday. The city is improving in morals , or the police losing In vigilance-perhaps both. William Alaloney has bought the Mil waukee bottling works and will assume the management the first of the month.

Martin Hughes is putting in two pits and making the necessary arrangements to open his new bricl : yard , near the Northwestern round house. A man supposed to be a tramp was killed by the ears neur Mincola , yester day. 'Ihero was nothing' fouud upon him to establish his identity. There are very few cases of contagious diseases in the city and the carrying out of the rules of the board of health is bccm- ing to liavo n very t > alutary ell'eet. There has been about forty cords of wood cleared up in Fairmount park dur ing the past winter. This will bo sold and made to help out the park fund. The commissioners arc inquiring into the question as to whether Alr.s' . Ellen K. llubbard , who lives in the country , should bo soot to the insane hospital for treat ment. The Dodge Light Guards arc getting the drill down line , and purpose sticking to it until they are in condition to com pare favorably with the crack companies of the state. Hilly Lewis lias decided to have his 'bussvs rebuilt with wider doors , so tiiat ho cun get in to collect fares. Ho found that ho had either got to have wider doors or take anti-fat. The Y. M. C. A. gave a pleasant enter tainment last evening. It is astonishing the amount of practical information which those who attend get out of thcso 'meetings , besides having a pleasant way of spending their time. Superintendent Carter arrived hero yesterday and after looking over the now court house telegraphed the iron men to commence shipping material so that the work can go on and the building pushed to an early completion. 1 ho case of the young man Walker , charged with slapping his father , seems to puzzle Judge Aylcsworth. After hear ing the evidence ho concluded to think over what sort of penalty should bo af fixed to such an offense , and in the mean time the young man tarries behind the bars. bars.There There will be a meeting of the Wo man's Christian association at the Bap tist chapel Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock , and at 4 o'clock in the same place a meeting in the interest of the newly termed society of "The White Shield , " a companion society to "Tho , Whi e Cross , " A general invitation is extended to all ladles interested in this important subject. The Salvation array is canvassing the city for subscriptions for their now bar racks and hall , which is to bo started as eon as suflleient pledges can bo secured to proceed with the work. The various corps throughout the state are to contribute - tribute to the erection of the bulling here , > j which will bo used aa headquarters. The city council at a committee of the whole will visit lower Urondway to-day to look ever the ground preparatory to establishing a grade so that tilling and paving can commence. They will also . " take a look at the now lovco. The conn s' eil will moot this evening to take action ' on those and other Important matters. W. M. Roof , better known as "Chicago X BUI , " the celebrated chimney sweep , is ' In the city on the same mission as > brought him here last season. Ho has all I the needed machinery for cleaning chim- i aeys , and so handles it as to causa no . ; , dust in rooms or dirt on carpets. Those who want to have their chimneys cleaned , ! can leave orders at DoVol's store or at * the postodico. The necessity of keeping 1 the chimneys clean is so apparent as to need no lengthy dissertation. Charles Uhl , who was arrested on sus- plcion , being seen to follow a drunken man , Allen Jackson , with the apparent intention of relieving him of his money , > was discharged yesterday. Jackson was fined $7.00 , and thinks he got off cheap. M the police saved him probably about ptwico that amount. If Uhl had not had i any intention of robbing him there are ? enough others who would have improved -the opportunity had not the police put < him in a safe place. ; W. D. Kirkland will remember his t thirty-eighth birthday with pleasure. The neighbors and friends , with a number - ber of fellow "Woodmen.1' formed a wrpriso party , one of the pleasant feat- ares of which was the presentation to Mr. Kirkland ot a gold headed , ebony Cftno , a beauty and a joy fororor. . B. Adams made the presentation speech , anet acquitted himself with credit to his oratorical ability. Kirkland was not pro- - | red to respond , the surprise being a . stunner. Tno question of filling Bayllss park ia revived with the coming of spring. It is , rged by some that the property owners iu the vicinity are so anxious to have it filed that they will contribute liberally towards meeting the expense. On the 'other hand it is urged that it is iranrac- tteablo to fill. The park would have to . to tilled higher in the center , so as to 'dope towards the streets , and got sur- laflc drainage. This would necessitate a All of four feet in much of the park , and -WOHld kill the trees. It is claimed that thq water can bo easily drained elF as , Mon us sewerage is put along Willow avenue. With good walks and suitable rdrHinago the beauty of the park can be Maintained without the expenditure ol any great sum of money. The streets about the park should bo paved this Mason. The uxpensn would be large to city , as one-half of all would fall to iharo , the other half going to the perty owners.

The evening democratic organ has begun its attacks upon tbcncw city coun cil , thumping the democratic members because they did not elect just such city olliccrs as the non-partisan postmaster , who owns the organ , dictated. The organ is not content with having democratic patronage , but wants to govern the party as well as take all the feed. It wants to bo the father , the head of the household , and at the same time be the babe , the pet , and ttet all the care and stiuport. The democratic members of the council acted in fairness and wisdom. They re-elected 'Squiro Hurko as city clerk , a man who has served most faithfully for years , and who in polities has been endorsed by the democrats fully as often as by the republicans. For chief of the lire department the old chief , also a democrat , was retained. John Tomplcton has proved himself to bo an cOlc'iout chief , as the condition of the de partment , and the record of the year shows. The other choices wore made with equal fairness and justice , and it seems a bit of pettish chilhshness on the part of the editorial postmaster to get mad at his democratic brethren for se lecting some other democrats than the ones whom he wanted. The citizens arc satisfied with the action of the council , iml the democratic organ can hurt only itself by indulging in the sulks. The New Aldermen. Alderman Lacy made a good maiden speech in favor of having bettor side walks along Fourth street , from Hroad way south , some places on this busy thoroughfare being in really dangerous condition. Alderman Wells made a still bettor speech. Ho favored not merely the patching up of one spot after another , and the improvement of streets by picco- mcalbut the inauguration of a systematic series of street improvements through out the city. Ho urged a survey the of situation , so as to determine what sort of improvements wore needed , and then entering upon thcso improvements of the streets , working toward the completion of a general plan. Ho earnestly urged that the tlmo had como when the city must take hold of improvements with enthusiasm. Alderman Metcalf seconded these suggestions , and yesterday started out with Alderman Lacy in a drive ubou t the city to sco.where improvements could be put to do the most good.

Ten Twelve Thirteen Three Hun dred and Sixty. Contemporary Review : The reason why ten is a favorite perhaps the most favorite number is obvious enough , namely , that wo have ten lingers. W hen wo begin to count we almost of necessity do so with our lingers ; if we have a largo number of things to count , say a dock of sheep , wo instinctively dividn them into tens , or perhaps into scores ; if the num ber of things bo yery large the collection of tons arc naturally grouped airnin by tens and so we have hundreds. A fur ther grouping of hundreds leads to thousands and so forth. Thus we get the ordinary system of numeration and there can bo uo manner of doubt that man's ten lingers are the root of it. Wo are told in treatises on arithmetic that it would have been much more conveni ent if wo had agreed to count by twelves instcad.pf by tens ; and possibly this may have been true. Hut , if it be , wo have so much the more evidence , if evi dence be needed , that the basis of the system of counting was not determined - mined by theoretical considerations , but by the simple elementary fact of the number of human digits being ten not twelve. Nevertheless twelve has its turn as a favorite number ; we often count by dozens and the reason probably is that tholve admits of being quartered as well as halved , which , in many cases , is an ad vantage. Take the case of wine : A dozen bottles is n convenient quantity to take as a standard , because a customer can order half the standard number , or , if ho needs a small quantity , the quarter of the same ; in fact , twelve admits admits of doing divided not only by two and four , but also by three and six , which , for many purposes , give it a great advantage over ten , which can bo divided only by two and live , the latter division being rarely of any ute : hence the great divisi bility of twelve is sutlielont to mark it as a favorite number ; but in the most nota ble instance of its usenamely , as making the number of months in the year , we need some further explanation. The real month that ia the number of days be tween two successive full moons may bo taken as measured by twenty- eight days. Thirteen times twenty- eight makes 374 , or as nearly as may bo one year. Consequently it would nave been much more nearly true to say that thirteen months make a year than twelve. The explanation is to bo found. I con ceive , in the extremely awkward charac ter of the number thirteen ; it is what is called by mathmcticians a prime number that is to say , it admits of no division of any kind ; had there been thirteen months in the year the half your and the quarter alike could not have been reck oned by months , and consequently twelve , which , as already explained , is ono of the most convenient of numbers in the matter of divisibility , was encour aged and permitted to usurp the place which in all 'strictness belonged to its noxfdoor neighbor. There is a some what parallel case with regard to the di vision of the circle into 800 degrees. The ancient Chinese mathematicians divided the circle into a07 } days , which number though not exact , Is very near the truth. But this division of the circle is prac tically intolerable ; it would throw mathe maticians into despair ; consequently the numbei 630 , which admits of being di vided by four , oy sixty , by thirty and bv other numbers , usurped the place which the Chinese righteously assigned to the awkward number which nature sug gested. i Saved by Her Bustle.
