The Garbage Contract.
It was a favorite idea of the late Col.
Waring when Commissioner of Street
Cleaning that the garbage of the city
couhl he made to pay the expense of its
removal, if not i<> return an income to
1 lie city. If he had remained in charge
<?f the* department under an administration
that sup;>orted his plans, it i- not
unlikely that .?ome such result would
have been attained. Hut Mr. Nagle is
not that kind of a commissioner, lie
does not have ideas and plans for saving
money or improving the methods 01 his
department.
Col. Waring mad; a live years' contract
with the Sanitary Utilization Company
tor removing ti e garbage of the
whole city as then constituted tor $So.VOo
a year, with a proviso that the city
might acquire it* plant and equipment at
the end of that period. 111 - purp??*c
was to he ready then to carry out his
plan for utilizing the city refuse in a
manner to return a profit instead of a
large expesise. A* the five years' term
drew to a close, of course nothing had
been done to carry out the enlightened
project of Mayor Strong * commissioner.
hut there was a form of inviting new
bids for a contract so late that nobody
except the old contracting company
could pos-ibly he ready to begin it* execution
on the i*t of August, when it
must go into effect, and that company '
boldly raised it* hid to S.tnj.ooo a year
for the two borough*. Mr. N'agle did
jiot hesitate to accept it and recommended
its approval by tlie Board of intimate
and Apportionment.

to speoehtnaking. r.atl the Kentucky
Cood Roads Convention was no execution
to this rule. IIow could -100
Kentuckians in convention assembled
restrain themselves from indulging
liberally in oratory?
The Kentucky rordmakers did not
routine themselves to speech making,
however. A "Cood Roads" train loaded
with samples of roadmaking machinery
was sent t ? the meeting place
of the convention by the National
Cood Roads Association. Those in
charge of this train graded a mile of
dirt road with the most effective machinery
now in use for that purpose,
and invited the convention to be present
and see it done. The delegates to
the convention have since scattered
themselves to the four corners of Kentucky
to teach their neighbors how to
make the best possible dirt roads with
the smallest outlay of the taxpayers'
money. The "Cood Roads" train, with
its machinery, is traveling from convention
to convention, furnishing practical
object lessons in good road building.
"
Tills practical icarure 01 na- arutucky
Good Roads Convention marks
a distinct and notable advance in the
evolution of country highways. For
more than half a century the American
people have concerned themselves
chiefly with the construction and extension
of railways. While doing so
they have neglected the local highways.
evidently satisfied that any old
road would do to drive over to the
nearest railway station. They are
getting rid of this idea, however, and
are recognizing the necessity for better
country highways. Cood roads
conventions serve an excellent educational
purpose in this direction, and
when these who participate in the publie
agitation of the subject arc permitted
to secure practical instruction
in modern road building a double purnose
fs served. The Kentucky Good
Iloatis Convention, with its mile of
practical road me. kins:, should become
an example for all future Hood Roads
conventions to follow. When the advocates
and makers of good roads
shall travel hand in hand a marked
improvement of the roml system of
the country will be speedily visible.?

Good and Bad Road*.
The recent automobile race from
Far is to Berlin attracted international
attention because of the keen interest
which is just now taken in the mechanical
vehicle. While Europeans
were chiefly concerned in the perform- j
auce of the distinctive types of ma1
niAiMAOMO 'IfAtll tlw* I

thought that such a race is virtually
impossible in this country under conditions
promising any fair test of quality.
There are no such roads here as
those which in Europe permit intercity
automobiling and wheeling. Our
highways, save for short distances
outside of the larger cities, are dis- i
gracefully rough and tiukepf. Much
has been done in the past few years
to awaken the people to a sense of this
condition, and the movement has been
greatly accelerated by the wide popularity
which the bicycle and the automobile
have gained. It is to be hoped
lbat the race of last week will so stimulate
the pride of iiie American steam
and electric machine owners that a
f.ozen years hence it will be possible
to organize a thousand-mile race out
vf any one of a score of scattered cities
Under ideal road conditions.
It is a noteworthy fact that until
very recently nothing has been done
in this country to collect and study
road statistics. The good roads division
of the Department of Agriculture,
which lias been doing excellent work
for several seasons, has lately undertaken
to remedy this defect and is
now engaged in gathering data as to
the character and number of vhicles
which use certain roads. It is honed
that iu this manner it tuay be possible
to demonstrate by figures the extent
to which the highways are used by
various classes. This will permit the
study of an accurate basis of the wearing
qualities of different road materials
under varying conditions. The
institution of this inquiry leads to the
hope that by thus systematically approaching
the subject the Government's
bureau may eventually arouse
the interest of State legislatures to the
point of the enactment of uniform
highway laws. It is only by concerted
action in this manner and by the adoption
of even standards of excellence
in all the States that roads will be produced
which will compare favorably
with those of Europe. ? Washington

Wide Tire* ami Wen-Paved Strecti.
A very important element of difficult*'
which Cliicaeo confronts iu the
effort to secure adequately paved
streets is the speedy destruction of the
pood pavements already laid. Only
a few streets can he put in presentable
condition at a time and tile wear and
tear goes oil at such a rate that they
are out rf repair before the city has
been aide to carry out improvements
elsewhere. While the life of the average
pavement is so short the city, with
the amount of funds at its disposal,
simply cannot catch up with this
work. The deterioration of street
pavement is too rapid.
It is because of this fact and tho
well-known effect of tlie narrow-tire
wheel on pavements that it is to he
hoped the city council will make haste
to pass the wide-tire ordinance lately
introduced. The narrow tire is an
enemy to pood pavements and clean
streets. With a comparatively trifling
weight upon it. the narrow tire
will cut a rut in a pavement where a
wide tire, bearing a much heavier
load, will leave hardly an impression.
It has been the experience everywhere
that the introduction of wide tires was
followed by less rapid deterioration of
e streets.?Chicago News.
HOW ACUiNALDO WAS CAPTURED

After talking with Tal Plaeido and
Segovia f<?r fifteen or twenty minute?.
I gave orders that the newly arrived
men he allowed to fall out and go to
rest in the t.uarters which had been
prepared for them, says Emii Aguinaldo
in Everybody's Magazine. Captain
Segovia, immediately left the
house aud returned to the place where
his men were drawn up waiting for
him. As he came up to them Segovia
shouted, in a loud voice, an order
which we did not hear distinctly and
did not understand. Instantly his men
began to slicot at the soldiers of tny
guard, taking them completely by surprise.
When 4he bring began, not suspecting
any plan against myself. I ibought
it was a salute with blank cartridges,
and having this in mind. I ran to the
window aud cried out several times,
'"Cease firing." But seeing that the
firing continued, and that the bullets
from the rifles of the attacking party
were directed against me as well as
against the soldiers of my guard. I
for the first time realized that the
newcomers were enemies. I hurriedly
left the window and ran into another
room in the hope r 1 finding some
means of escape, but saw at ones
that the house was already surrounded.
Then 1 seized a revolver, intending
to defend myself, but I)r. Barcelona
threw boili arms around me. crying
out, "Don't sacrifice yourself. The
country needs your life." Thus I was
prevented from currying out my In- j
tention. Colonel Villa ran from the
house in an attempt to break through
the lines of the enemy and rally our
nieu. but lie was shot three times and
finally taken prisoner.
Wlun the tiling commenced. Tal
riacido threw himself down 011 ihe
door to avoid the bullets, but now lie
got up and told us that we were
prisoners of the Americans, who. be
said, were 011 the other side of the
river with four hundred American soldiers.

where we were. They came up to us.
and one of them asked. "Which of you
is AguinnldoV" As soon as I had been
identified by the Americans I was
placed, with Dr. Barcelona and Colonel
Villa, in one of the rooms of the
house, and guards were posted at all
the windows and doors, under command
of one of the Americans. The
other four Americans then began to
search the house for whatever papers
and documents might be there.
We were then informed that our
captors were General Funston. Captains
Newton and Ilazzard. and Lieutenants

No instrument needs more careful
handling than a ship's chronometer.
Every chronometer is tested for three
years before it is placed on sale. Every
extreme of temperature is tried on ir.
The safety of every great ocean
steamship depends upon the accuracy
of these time-keepers. An error of
four seconds may put a captain four
miles out of his course, and a tiny
speck of rust on the balance spring
may be tbe cause of the error.
Ou all large ships there arc three
dlirnnnmdlcrg tn ??llflr(l OiTaiUSt acd
dents. These nre sent ashore for inspection
the moment the vessel reaches
port and kept until its departure.
A staff of skilled men are kept by
every chronometer manufacturer, their
work being to carry the delicate instruments
back aud forth between the
ship and the workship.
When on shipboard the chronometer
is stowed in a dry place amidships,
where there is least motion and variation
of temperature. The case in which
it is kept is lined with soft curled
hair, and it is snugly tucked into the
centre of a heavy woolen blanket.
It is not surprising, therefore, that
