the meeting of City Council yester
,]gl afternoon the second quarterly state
ri,-;■.* of the year, showing the expendi
t ( of the city departments for the six
ni n s ending June 30, was submitted by
( l*rk of Council Bailey. The appropria
(rk of Council Bailey.
Th* showing is regarded as a very sat
isfactory one, the number of appropria
ton which are overdrawn being more
than balanced by the number which are
underdrawn. The house drainage account
fhows the largest excess, the expenditures
for this work bang $33.363.95, while the
appropriation was only $75,000, showing
d u excess of $18,303.05. This is due to the
f (l rt that it was deemed advisable to push
i c :,.use drainage work while all the con
(]j;i r.s were favorable and the forces well
organized rather than to leave the entire
sy.'iem in an incomplete state. As matters
~ now nearly three-fourths of the sys
tem is ready for use.
Tli • appropriation for ihe streets and
lanes is apparently overdrawn, but this is
explained by the fact that $12,117.96
of :he amount represents expenditures for
jch walks which amount is to be paid
ba k into the city treasury. In the same
manner the paving department appears to
be overdrawn, but of the reported expen
diture $16,897.38 represents assessments
charged against abutting property own
ers for street improvements which amount
also to be repaid the city.

It will be seen that the Board of
Health appropriation is very heavily over
drawn there only remaining $2,121.03 out
rf an appropriation of $15,501. This, it will
he easily understood, is due to the extra
"xi enditures incurred by the city in the
stepr taken by the health department to
prevent the spread of smallpox during the
recent epidemic and in caring for the pa
tl nts who were taken to the pcs’house.
The salary account apptars to bes ;me

$14.810. 12 left out of an appropriation of

IT I,AW OVER HIS TROUSERS.
Tailor and Barber Made Fnn In a
Magistrate** Conrt.
A pair of patched trousers belonging to o
colored barber, a dollar and a half bill for
the repairs, and an irate tailor who
rouldb’t collect, were the elements yester
day in a magistrate's court of a first-class
comedy that several times verged on the
tragic.
The tailor, the plaintiff, conducted his
own case, which briefly stated, according
to his side of the matter, was to the ef
fect that a colored barber, the defendant,
I ! brought to him to he patched, pressed
" 1 otherwise renovated, a pair of trous
ers which, when subsequently returned to
him, he had kept for a length of time nnd
'hen disclaiming ownership had refuwed
PJmen* for the work.
The defendant averred that the trou
"ts wore not his that he had not taken
them to the tailor, and that he had at no
’hne promised to pay for them.
Numerous wltnessts were put on the
s'an.i by the defendant to prove that the
Pursers belonged to one Jlnt Howard no
: nger a resident of this city, and that
' -aid Howard had bought, paid fr,
acd worn the trousers to a frazzle, of
w hich the much discussed i atch in the
r : ' was cited :n support.
The court loom was crowded with spec
tators, who derived no end of amusement
Pent the plaintiff-lawyer’s cross examtna
* e, of the witnesses, his appeals to the
ft. the spectator*, nnd the jury, and
J bitter invectives against the counsel
the defendant, nil of which were to
f'tp'd up together as to leave much room
t”r doubt at times as to just what he was
’ liking about. But the crowning feature
' Pie performance came when the wlt
for the plaintiff waa put on the
"and It looked as though It would be
a roiigfi house for some time, as the ques
' of the attorney as to the witnesses'
‘bihloyment brought forth an emphatic
p cly that It waa none of his business,
“ 1 upon the examination being continued
'he same line she first told the law
p r that he was "sassy,” and then feeling
’ u an even stronger adjective was

asserted with flushing eyes

“I’m Mirk*
To jro anywhere with my face in this
condition,” is the expression of a very
natural feeling. To a beautiful woman
an eruption on the face is the greatest of
calamities, her very beauty seeming to
increase the disfigurement. Ninety
eight times in every hundred, eruptions
are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery, and the skin recovers its
maiden bloom and softness. " Golden
Medical Discovery ” is a medicine which
acts directly on the blood, purifying it,
increasing its quantity and its rich
ness. Eruptions, blotches, pimples, etc.,
are but surface signs of the corrupt
blood current underneath. " Discovery”
cleanses the blood, and so cleanses
the skin.
"For about one year and a half mv face was
very badly broken out," writes Miss Carrie
Adams, of n6 West Main St.. BaTtlecreek, Mich.
"I spent a great deal of money with doctors and
for different kinds of medicine, but received no
benefit. At last I read one of your advertise
ments. and obtained a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. Before I had taken
one bottle of this medicine I noticed a change,
and after taking three bottles I was entirely
cured.”
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets keep the
bowels in healthy condition.
tinued to ask such questions she would
come “down there and slap his face,”
During this exchange of legal amenities
the plaintiff took a wordy part, alternate
ly upbraiding the lawyer, entreating the
magistrate to put a stop to it, and com
manding the witness not to answer. The
lawyer and the spectators laughed out
right, the magistrate and his officers
pounded for order and the whole place
was in an uproar.
The trial lasted nearly two hours and
a decision was finally rendered in favor
of the defendant, the man who didn’t
own the pants with the patch.

“But we. as black people and you as
white people,, should remember, that mere
material, visible possessions, however im
portant, will not alone solve our problem,
and that education of both races will be
a failure unless we keep constantly before
u.s the fact, that the final aim of all edu
cation, whether industrial or academic, is
to produce goodness of heart, honesty of
purpose and that generosity of soul which
will make us seek the elevation and free
dom of all men regardless of class or race.
The South will prosper in proportion as
with development In agriculture, in mines,
domestic arts and manufacturing, there
goes that education which brings respect
for law, broadens the heart, sweetens
the nature and makes us feel that we are
our ‘‘brother’s keeper” whether that
brother was born in England, Italy, Africa
or the Islands of the Seas.”
Otlirrs Were Heard.
President Joseph Swain, University of
Indiana, spoke on “The State University.”
The committee on nom : nations, which wa-s
announced by President Corson at the
morning session, will meet to-morrow at
noon to make 'the nominations of officers
for the ensuing year. Their report will be
submitted to the convention Friday.
‘Nearly all of the departments held
meetings during the afternoon. The kin
dergarten educators held their first ses
sion in Hibernian Hall. After the wel
coming addresses, papers were read by
Mrs. Clarence E. Meleney of New York;
Philander P. Claxton of the State Nor
mal College at Greensboro, N. C.. ami Miss
Harriet Niel. director of the Hearst Kin
dergarten, Washington.
The department of secondary education
heard a paper on the extent the pupil in
the high school should be allowed to
choose his studies, by William J. S. Bry
an, principal of the High School, St.
Louis.
Oliver S. Westcott, principal of Jhe
North Division High School, Chicago,
read a paper on teaching pupils the cor
rect use of the English language. The
papers were followed by discussions, In
which a number of educators partici
pated.
There was a good attendance at the ses
sion of the higher education department
and several interesting papers were read.
The first speaker was President Charles
F. Thwing, Western Reserve University,
Cleveland. His topic was ‘‘The Satisfac
tion of Being a College President.”
Bfvnln on State Aid.
President Joseph Swain, Indiana Uni
versity, read a paper on ''State Aid to
Higher Education.” He said, in part:
"These are essential not only to the
prosperity but oven to the existence of
a free state.
“The ultimate control of and the re
sponsibility for education must rest with
the state.
"It is the function of the statfe to pro
vide educational opportunities limited only
by the ability of its citizens to embrace
these opportunities. Has the .skilled phy
sician most benefited himself or the com
munity? Has the teacher most benefited
himself or his pupils? Graduates of uni
versities could not, if they w-ould, ap
propriate to themselves the fru ts of their
university training. The university Is
sometimes opposed on ihe ground that It
Is unjust to tax men of modest means to
support higher Instruction, as none but
the wealthy can go to college. Statistics
do not support such a view, as more than
half of the students in many of our state
institutions are sons and daughters of
farmers and mechanics. 'Hie state insti
tution furnishes a common meeting
ground where the young men and young
women of the state are free from any in
fluence except those accepted by the state
Itself. It becomes a forum where
the rising young men and wo
men of the whole state may
know one another and value one, another
rightly. Can we not depend on wealthy
men wholly to furnish higher education?
This would be un-American. Wealthy men
might grade our roads, build our court
houses, conduct our courts, do
anything for the public good,
if the state ehotiH neglect these matters,
or turn them over to private hands. But
this would not release the people from
their duty In the mutter. The people
have safety only in Independence. The
state can secure unsectarian Instruction,
unpartison Institutions only by providing
these Itself. This does not in the least
disl>arage the existence of private and
denomentlonal Institutions, but Indicates
that these alone are not sufficient.
"The great problem of our day, scien
tific, historical, political and industrial,
can best bo settled by those who hove spe
cial training for their work. We are liv
ing in an age when there Is a demand for
re-examination of all things. We are not
satisfied simply because a belief or cus
tom had the sanction of our lathers.
We are not willing to say that
anything Is true or that any method is the
best method until all the facts available
are examined by those who know how to
estimate the value of data. The modem
university is an Institution' where all sub
jects are considered of equal value and
the great ambition of the teacher of each
subject Is first to gain a complete mast try
of his subject, and then to assist his stu
dent to such mastery: and In the second
place to contribute something to the sum
total of human knowledge In his own line
of work. The university does not do Its
duty to Ihe state If it does not In some de
gree at least widen the field of human
knowledge. It js chiefly through the dis
coveries and contributions of original
workers that those facts and principles
are discovered through which the stale
seeks a more advanced stage of civiliza
tion and culture.”
