THREE APPEAB AND TELL OF CONDITIONS ON STREET Specifications Violated, Unjust Assess ments Made and Unsatisfactory Paving Laid, They Say. ' frank Hughes, Dan J. Fry and John Carson appeared last night before a poeial committee of the city council, named to hear protests against the mak ing of an assessment for the improve ment of South High street, and explain ed why thoy did not believe the con tract had been complied with by the Montagoe-O'Keilly company. J. C. fompton, representing the company, promised at the close of the meeting, that his company would resurface the hill with El-Oso next year and the city will endeavor to straighten out the as sessment discriminations complained of. Hughes asserted that he had been charged $375 moro for excavating than wan just, his claim being that excava tion work done several years boforo had been charged in with the rest. He hail been offered a reduction of $50 by the city, but did not consider it more than about one-eighth of the amount to which he was entitled. Specifications Changed. Fry charged that the specifications had been changed ho that the surface on two blocks of the street was not El Oso. It was explained by the repre noutative of the Montague-0 'Beilly company that the change of paving was ordered by the city engineer, who fig ured El-Oso was too slippery for the hill and ordered a rougher coat. Cry asserted he was being assossed foT 1650 feet fill, when but 474 feet of fill had been placed. He also told of being charged with drain pipe for lots 11 and 12. "If any of the gentlemen of the com mittee can find any drain pipe on the two lots, I will eat the pipe," said Mr. Fry. Further Mr. Fry doubted the justice of the 5 per cent charge for engineer ing expenses. Carson wanted the committee to view the paving in front of his place and say whothor the contract had been com plied with. Wants to Furnish. Bond. An attorney for the Montague-O'Roil-ly company proponed that the company1 1m) paid and permittod to furnish a bond in the sum of $4000, which would cover anything in tho way of repairs needed. Ho argued that it was unfair to the company to keep $1)000 of the 1R,000 involved in the contract tied up. Earlier in tho evening Councilman Ptolz, chairman of tho street commit tee, reviewed the history of tho paving deal. It had been done last year when ho was not in the council, he explained. Tho contractor had been delayed by tho nogligenco of tho city in not having the South High street bridge construct ed so thnt ho could grade and, pavo up to it. It was 6(1 days aftor tho con tract for tho paving was let before tho contract for tho bridge work was com menced. City Is to Blame. Tho city made a bunglosoino job of its abutments and another abutment and wing, walls should hnv been con structed. The contractor had proceed ed just as far with tho work as it whs safe, under the circumstance, and the Globe I TONIGHT Basco & Brown's Musical t Comedy Company X Complete Change of Program ALL IN A FOG." t New Music, New Cos tumes, New Songs, New t Dances.

Soma of the resi dents had protested against paving in the mud and the matter was left in tha hands of a council committee which, with Engineer Skelton, decided that tne work should be completed. The committee will report at the council meeting Monday night. THE SOUTHERN CROSS. Its Nam Dos Not Quit Fit This Wondrous Constellation. The Southern Cross, wonderful alike to those living Id the southern ball of the world and to the tourist thereto. Is one of the most conspicuous and in teresting of all the southern configura tions. Situated at s distance of about thirty degrees from the sooth pole, it Is plain ly visible In all regions south of the equator, and also to some distance north, about as far as the tropic of Cancer. The farther south one travels the higher In the heavens will appear the cross, and naturally the more con spicuous It becomes. It seems to have received Its name. not like the northern constellations from the ancients, but, like most of the southern configurations from the Por tuguese navigators, during tbelr ex plorations Into the southern waters. It Is snld thnt when Dante came out from "Inferno" he declared that he bad seen a mighty cross set In the iouthern firmament, and the naviga tors set about to find such a figure and settled upon this one as best ful filling the conditions. That it Is dim- cult, at first glance, to picture this as a true cross, Is not suprising, for bad It been named the "kite," a much closer representation could have been Imagined. The so called "false cross," midway between the cross and the bright star Canopus. although com posed of fainter stars, is much more regular and symmetrical In shape. Taken all in all. this constellation of the Southern Cross, which has been the wonder of centuries, still holds its place as a remarkable curiosity, even with the advance of astronomical In vestigation, and with the data obtain ed from the spectroscope and the photograph, oar efforts still find un limited problems yet to be solved. And, above all others, thnt of the Southern Cross Is yet far from a complete solu tion. Leon Campbell In "Pern Today." PUZZLES OF SLEEP. Noil and Slumber and th Marvalout Rapidity of Dreamt. Both Bismarck and Fepys found that noise enhanced the value of a night's rest Bismarck confided In bis old age to nn Interviewer that he could "never sleep In Berlin at night when It is quiet but as soon as the noise begins, about 4 o'clock In the morning, 1 can sleep a little and get my rest for the day." Pepys records In his dlnry on Sept 23. 1001. thnt he slept nt Welling "and still remember It that of all the nights that ever 1 slept In my life I never did pass a night with more epicurism of sleep; there being now and then a noise of people that waked me, and then It was u very rnlny night and then I wns a little weiiry. that whnt between wnklng and then sleeping again, one ufter another, I never hnd so much content In all my life." The probability thnt we get snatches of sleep nt odd moments when we sup pose ourselves to bnve remulned con tinuously awake Is supported by the phenomena of drenms. Mark Twain accounted for bis own ''disappearing visitor" by the belief thnt be bad un consciously bad a very short nop, and many have explained visions of ghosts as due to dreams during such short nnps. For nothing Is better established In connection with drenms than that an apparently very long one can occur during nn almost Infinitesimal time. Alfred Mnnry hnd a long, vivid dream of the rolen of terror, Including the trial of himself before the revolution ary tribunal and his execution, and was able to show thnt It nil happened during the moment of awakening by the full of n rod from the bed canopy upon Ills neek. -London Chronicle.

Look Tears Young erl Use Grandmoth er's Recipe of Sage Tea and Sul phur and Nobody Will Know. The use of Sage and Sulphur for re storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautiful ly dark, glossy and abundant. When ever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, thiB simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at anv drug store for a 50-cent bottle of " Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem edy," you will get this famous old re cipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so' naturally and evenly tfiat nobody can tell It has been applied. You simply dampen a spongo or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand nt a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap plication or two, it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft nnd abundant. Local agent, J. C. Perry. TREATING A DOG BITE. Act Promptly and There Is Little Dan ger of Hydrophobia. If you slioiild be bitten by n dog sus pected of rabies don't get scared, but act promptly. Immediately apply u tourniquet above the wound. No touiiilquet being ut hand, use a handkerchief or necktie, twisting It tightly with u stick. The poison Hhould then be sucked out anil the wound cauterized as soon as possible. If it is believed the dog was mud the Pasteur treatment should be resorted to Only two-tenths of I per cent of those who take this treat ment develop hydrophobia. Although the germ of rubles bas not been demonstrated. It Is generally con ceded the dlseuse bus a specific germ Untiles never occurs In the human spontaneously, but always by Inocula tion. It Is also moderately well dem onstrated that dogs and other animals likewise contract the disease through inoculation Many more male than femulo dogs go mad. The reason given for this is that mule dogs fight among themselves, but a male seldom bites a female. The proportion Is seven mud males to one mad female. Contrur to popular belief, rabies Is more com mon In a temperate zone than In the tropics or the arctic region and In spring and fall than In summer and winter The only sure preventive thus fnr found for rubles Is thorough muzzling, which Is another proof that the dis ease has its origin In Inoculation. There is a disease called lyNKophotilii which closely resembles hydrophobia nnd Is brought on by nervous dread. It has been contended by some that there Is really no (llfTeieiiee between these diseases and that hydrophobia Is Imaginary. This claim Is refuted by the fuet that animals and very young children, knowing neither imagination, dread or fear, do succumb to a disease exhibiting the unmlstnkablc symptoms of hydrophobia. These symptoms arc, flret a fear of water, from which the disease derives Its name; then the muscles stiffen and an attempt to drink water brings on convulsions; next the mere sight of wnter Is sufllclent to bring on a recur rence of the convulsions, fever sets In nnd death ensues In about u week, generally from exhaustion.
