The Alilcrmon Got Artnrtlio Knitliinnr
At the council mooting Wodncsday evenIng -
Ing tbo city onginccr came in for a scoring
The cnuso of it was tlio complaints mndo re
garding tbo building of sldownlks in various
parts of the city , it being alleged that they
were not occording to specifications An
other grievance was the alleged fact that tbo
contractors toro up good plank sldowalks on
streets wherothoy had contracts , while tbo
conlrnct distinctly provldod that good walks
should not be disturbed The matter , was
discussed nt sonic length , and llnnlly Alder
man Knopherdcmandod to know of the city
cnglneor if ho know whether or not the con
tractors were complying with the specifica
tions
The engineer was compelled to answer
that ho did not Well , " said the alderman ,
"I do , nnd I know that they uro not comply
ing with the spoelllcatlons , but you glvo
llicin their estimates just the sumo and
they draw their money for tlio work "
lie also told some other equally un-
pleasnut things that bad Lome to
his knowledge , about the manner in which
certain business was conducted , nnd thcro
was double-distilled fun in the council cham
ber for a few minutes
The matter evidently set some of the mem
bers to thinking , for the nldcriiinn from the
First ward wns ou hand at the c ly building
bright nnd eirlv yesterday morning , and ho
was full of Hist class retrenchment ideas
"Whiil is the use of a slduwalk inspector ,
anyhow " ho demanded as his auditors
gathered closer about the four story olllco
stool , on which ho bad poichod "Wo are
paying out * .l n day for this kind of work ,
and it isn't doing 11 cents worth of good
Anybody with half an eye can sco that this
worn isn't being done according Jo specula
tions Tlio city engineer ought to nltend to
this When a contract is let he should give
the contractor his lines ami tell him to do the
work according to specifications The specifi
cations sav that thcro shall bo four
luetics of Baud under blick sidewalks
Db they put It there ! Well , not much As
Aldermnn Knophorsild last night , a man
would Imvo to hustle to find two Inches of
snnd in a good many placoa No Inspector is
needed When the work is done the en-
clnccr should measure It up , and before rc-
turningbls cstimnto should remove an occa
sional brick hero and thcro and see how the
work wns done If It wasn't ' nccordlng to
spccillcations no estimate would bo returned ,
and Mr Contractor wouldn't got n cent ,
How many lessons do you suppose they
would need ! I rather imagine that ono would
do the business If they found out that the
council meant business , and that the con
tract mount just what it said , I loll you that
the sidcvMilks would bo laid according to the
specifications It tbo contractors know that
tbo engineer wjs camping right on their
trull , and would uotgiva nn estimate unless
bo know that the work was just as it should
bo , they would not run the risk of having
tlio job refused by neglecting to put in all
tbo sand that was called for Tlio trouble is
that matters mo run in too haphazard a
manner , and when the engineer gives the
contractor an cstimato of work performed
bo does not cxamino it as closely as bo
should "

Tlio New Division or Wnrds
"I dent uollevo there is a member of the
council who is oopo3cd to having the city di
vided into moro wards , " said an alderman
yesterday , but the trouolo is to have the
dividing lines drawn at the right place
Some folks think that the Third ward is too
largo , yet neither of the ordinances Intro
duced provide for changing it , I dent ' know
as it ought to bo changed , but I merely
stated that to show you that thcro is a great
dlfforonco as to just where the lines should
bo As for the division in the western part
of the city , that is a matter that should bo
carelully investigated before a decision is
reached I am in favor ot cutting oft tbo
Fourth ward at about Eighth strcot , and the
Third ward at about Fourth stroct , und
then those two wards would be plenty largo
enough It would also leave the Sixth
ward of proper size , so far as population is
concerned On the north side of Uroadwny
the becond ward ought to end at Ninth or
Tenth street , und that would give a nice
vote in every ward It wnuld bo of a slzo
that could uo easily handled oo election day
without any delay or trouble at the polls
I uin in favor of electing n board of public
works , hi which uaso tncro would bo no oc
casion for redisricting tbo city , but it such
u board is not elected wo ought to have
moro aldermen Under the present system
a man has more than ho can attend to , and
the business of the city cannot roccivo the
attention that it should It is frequently
necessary to rush matters in order to got
work disposed of , und it would bo far bolter
to have moro nldorincn among whom tbo
work could be divided , in which case busi
ness woulu bo transacted m better shape
and the responsibility for any particular
move could , bo placed riebt where it be
longed , in case thcro was any necessity for
doing so Matters would move along much
njoro harmoniously , und the people would bo
bettor satisfied Two moro aldermen are
badly needed , and none know it better than
the present mouthers of the council , If any
body tells you that wo dent want a change ,
dent bollove him Moro wards will siiroly
be established , and the plan of division will
bo similar to these that have already boon
proposed "

The next thing this city must have Is a
chemical engine , " declared Chairman Water
man ot the llro comuiltteo , yesterday after
noon Omaha has Just purchased a now
ono and wo must keep up with her Their
new maoblno is a daisy Wo went over yes
terday afternoon to bco it operate uud I have
wanted ono worse than ever smco I cimo
home Two good horses and two good men
is all that is needed , and the whole thing
goes like clockwork Wo decided sovcral
weeks ngo to have a test of any engines that
the companies might dcslro to send here , and
tlio Holloway company is now manufactur
ing ono for this purpose At the convention
of chief engineers at Kansas City the repre
sentatives of this company nnd of the Fire
Extinguisher company were both present ,
and each agreed to send an encmo Now
the latter company writes nnd says that they
will not compete because over 00
per cent of tbo chemical engines in
use in the country are of their make , aud
that they have everything to lese nnd noth
Ing to gain by such a test , while with the
Holloway the reverse is tbo case They are
positive they can beat the Holloway , but uro
fearful of the result m case the other com
pany should in some way happen to lny them
out Now , what's going to bo donol"
Hints easy , " said Alderman Lacy , and
Ill toll you They wont sell an engine to
this city unless they como in and comoeto
When they find it out they will come If
their goods are moro dcsirablo than the
other they ought to bo able to show it , and if
thev nre ufrnld to try , itsuroly isn't ' the
fault of the other company I believe wo
will have a side by side test ot chemical en
gines In tlio Uluffs , and that before very
long Doth ot them cost the same , and it is
simply a question of which has the most to

IN THE LOTTERY OF LOVE
The Way Men in Many Places Get
Tliolr Wives
_ Tlio most unsatisfactory courtshl o o
all must bo tlio Turkish , where the cmi-
didntofor matrimony is forbidden to see
tlio bride und must net through u ,
broker , generally tin old woman , who
interests hersoll for : i consideration ,
and who can usually bo bought by the
ono who pays the most
When the knot is tied , then for the
first time the hrdogroom sees the brides
face Often the result is n disappoint
ment , und the premised nymph or liouri
turns out to bo plain , unattrnctivo ,
ignorant nnd uncompanionable No
wonder , with such possibilities , the
path of divorce 1 % made vary easy In
the land of the _ urk
Among savugo tribes the bride is gen
orully carried oil by force , ns nmong
tlio Australians , where the force is
entirely porsounl Tlio man who wnuta
a wife simply waylays his intended and
either knocks her senseless with a club
or else chokes her into submission
Then lie ranUos her accompany him
into the bush , where they live solitary
and iilouo for the next three months ,
for ho cannot even return to his own
triho for that length of time If ho
should return to tiers , it would death ,
for they would ut ouco proceed to kill
him nnd tnko back the woman
At the oiid of thu year , however , ho
can take her bnck , nnd if alio makes uo
complaints against him , that lie lias not
provided for her properly , lie can keep
her The provision is simply in the
eating line , for iioithor husband nor
wife wear any clotlios while in the bush
The nucossnry provisions consists of
knngnrou meat , worms nnd snakes , us
the Australian savago.is not at all par
ticular in liis or her diet
The sign of the married state among
the women is tlio pulling out of a front
tooth , among the mon it is tlio cutting
olT of the little llneor of the righFliand
ut the first joint Tlioro is another dif
ficulty in the way of tlio Australian
lever If lie does not got her to his hut
before she fully recovers from her club
bing or ohoking , whlchovor it may ho ,
ho Is likely to have a lively tussle with
liis now wife for the Australian dumsol
is by no moans olToininlto , nnd will
fight valiantly for her liberty
Some of the nomad tribes that in
habit tlio plateaus of Asia have the
custom of making n lever light for his
wife before ho can got her , says a
writer In the ChicagoOtobo , hence , lie
gathers his frionda aud they make a fo
ray upon the brides friends , who gen
erally include a largo part of nny
of that particular subdivision of the
tribe If the uttucklng party win , tlio
bridogrpom gets liis wife , without com
pensation tu the parents , as a lawful
siioll If the brides friends are victo
rious , then the brldogroom has to pay
Buoh a price as tlio victors may exact ,
which is usually a lurgo part of his
whole possesions
In other placoa the brldogroom must
carry off the bride upon hi * buck , If
she is willing and makes no objection ,
all Is well , but if she Is unwilling there
are usually a plenty to help her , and
tlio poor brldogroom comes out a good
deal worse for his oxporieuro

In Greece tlioro is a rule , always ob

nlso wear tholr skirts rather short , the

If , however , ho is unwilling , she ro-
nmlns tlioro , hoping-to coax him into a
hotter mind
The poor fellow cannot treat her with
tno least discourtesy or turn her out , for
her friends would.bd'suro to avenge the
insult His best chance , therefore , if
ho is really determined that ho wont , is
to leave his homo and stay awoy as long
as she is in it This is certainly a very
peculiar way of turning a man out of
house and home
A
On the Isthmus of Darlon , cither box
can do tno courting with the natural result -
sult that nearly everybody gets mnrriod
There is not quito the snmo chance
where the girl has to hide the motions
of a hesitating and bashful swain
There is a curious courtship custom
inOud Boiorlnnd , Holland October is
the auspicious month for such an enter
prise and the first Sunday is always the
appointed time On that day the laus
and lasses , attired in their bes t , prome
nade the village separately , starir.sr
each ether out of countenance Hence
this is called review day ' '
On the Second Sunday of the month
the mon go to the girls of their choice
nnd try to loam whether they are re
garded with favor or not This , there
fore.is decision day , probably because
nt that tlmo the men make up their
minds
On the third Sunday ( called the day
of purchuso , why no ono seems to know )
the lever is expected to try to steal his
lady love ' s poekot handkerchief If she
makes no outcry or struggle , it is count
ed a sign that ho will have no trouble in
winning her
On the fourth Sunday the lever restores -
stores the handkerchief and proceeds to
proinonado with the fair ono , who seldom -
dom objects when tilings have gone so
far This , therefore , is called taking
possession day
The young folks having had their in
nings , the old folks tnko a hand , and on
the next Sunday the lever comes to the
house of the brides parents nnd stays
to tea There is always a lingo brown
loaf of glngorhroad , which tlio parents ,
cut and distribute If they give the
young man a piece of hard , dry crustit
is an unfailing sign that his attentions
are unwelcome If they give him a
nlco soft pleco they are acceptable , and
lie is permitted to como ngain mid tenet
net exactly as ono of the family
The courtship of tno Esquimaux is al
most as poculinr The old folks got together -
gothor nnd arrange the match The
question then ariBos : is ho able to sup
port a wifoV In order to nnswor this to
the satisfaction of all parties ho is in
quired to go out and kill a polar bear
As soon ns he has douo this ho comes
in and sneaks bohlnd the door of iiis
sweethearts house mid when she comes
out ho tries to puunco upon her und
carry her to hia dog-3lodgo. If she can
get away she does so , kicking , scratch
ing and biting like a perfect fury :
Ho gives eliuso , whereupon all the old
women rush out and boat her with frozen
strips nf sealskin until she falls ox-
hnustcd , Ho then rushes her to the
sledge , whips up tli'p'Vlogs ' , nnd the mur-
rlugo ceremonies uro all over ,
