M. Santos-Dumont believes that with his seventh airship, which he is now at work on, he will be able to make sixty miles an hour. His hope is partly based on the lightness of the motors, which weigh about six pounds per hot se power, compared with thirteen pounds, the weight of the motors of his present balloon. The steering gear and propel ler are the same e.9 those employed on his present machine, but the balloon Is seventeen yards longer.

Those who have observed how things go have expected that the Waterbury fire would oon be followed by another big fire. It. came yesterday, and Pat erson, New Jersey, Is mourning the de struction of many of its bent buildings, including the city hall, the public li brary, stores, banks, churches', club houses, office buildings, a theater, a newspaper office, etc. As in Water bury, so In Paterson, the fire spared the great manufacturing- plants, but it did damage estimated at $10,000,000. This may be cut down some by later re ports, and it is to be hoped that it will be. Paterson will be cast, down by this great misfortune, but she will not be dismayed. Already a relief movement for the care of those unsheltered and unprovided for has been started there, and the mayor has announced that Pat erson will not appeal to the charity o other communities. This &hows good pluck, but if it is found that she need help there will be plenty of it forthcom Ins. What next?

How to get better municipal govern ment in this country is one of the press ing problems. Comptroller Grout of New York thinks the English system of municipal government would work well here. This system consists in the elec tion of a board of aldermen, or a coun cil, who have full power to govern the city, selecting the mayor. He says that a charter under the English system would be only about one-hundredth, part as long as the complicated New York charter, and perfectly clear. "It would state just what officers of the city could do and could not, instead of "Well, sir, he struck the boilerhead fair and square, and if anybody was ever knocked into the middle of lust week he wus. He fell In a heap and rolled over into the ditch, and for fifteen minutes he seemed as dead as a stone. Then he opened his eyes and got up, and when the engine whistled at him he started oft on the run and kept it up for five miles. He broke one horn short off and twisted the other, and he had a headache for three months. It was the right kind of a dose for him. When the cars begun to run he looked at them and lifted his tail, but at the first clang .of the gone his tail went down and the tears came to hie eyes. He didn't want to tackle anything else on wheels. In deed, It broke his spirit 'till a two-year-old steer could rustle him around, and filling a big volume with all sorts of it he don't grieve himself to death be technicalities covering a complicated fore spring I guess I shall kill him for system of government." The logic by soldier beef." Detroit Free Press. There are twenty-seven armor-dads building for the United States navy, on which the government has yet to pay $30,000,000. , Eight of these are battle ships, four are monitors and fifteen ere cruisers. The cost of the armor for the twenty-seven ships is $18,571,000, of which only a little more than $2,000,000 has been paid. The total cost of the armament for all the ships is $20,262,000, on which $6,494,000 has been paid, This leaves $16,466,000 yet to be paid for ar mor and $13,780,000 for armament, a to tal of a trifle over $30,000,000. All of thesa ships should be completed by March. 1904, according to the terms of the various contracts, but the shipbuild ers will probably be anywhere from one to two years behind time, owing to strikes and other disturbances that have interfered with building operations. Postmaster Van Cott, of New York, is naturally much pleased over the pass age by the senate of the bill for a new metropolitan postoftice, and is of the opinion that the house will concur and President Roosevelt sign the measure. He says: What we want is a new building with about 85,000 feet of floor space. With that we can give the peo. pie of New York a better service than they ever had before. What we need most is ground space, and with that we shall have enougii ruum for the inter nal revenue and pension departments, thus saving the government a lot of rent. I hope the site will be selected near the Grand Central station, as the major portion of the mails come in tlnre. If the bill is passed we should have the new building ready for com pletion in a year and a half. MISS COl'Ati IS l'IMIVA1l:n Miss Frances Copass is a teacher in Martin, Tennessee. She is also a healthy and lively young woman. She was dis charged from her place as teacher be cause the trustees thought she was too lively and "went into society" too much She happened to have a contract for a year's employment, and she brought suit to compel the trustees either to re instate ber or pay the salary she would have earned if the provisions of the contract were carried out. When the trial came off the trustees brought tes. timony to show that Miss Copass either had company or went out "fully three nights a week," which they declared was too much. They held that no teacher who has a beau , on Sunday night, goes to a pedro party on Tues day night and dances or attends a wed ding or plays "button, button" on Fri day night can do good work as a teach er, wherefore they considered them selves justified in disregarding the con tract. Miss Copass' reply to this was that she taught well on the days after her beau called, and she 'absolutely de. nied that either card parties or dances had in any way militated against her usefulness in the schoolroom. Further more, she denied the right or trustees to dictate how often a young woman who knew how to behave herself might or might not receive company or plunge into society. If she as a teacher did not perform her duties satisfactorily the trustees might have the right to dis charge her, but they had no right to in quire into the reasons of her failure or to presume for one reason or another before she failed that she would do so, Of course the court sustained Miss Copass and declared that no board of trustees and no set of school directors had any right to dictate or specify how often a teacher may keep company. 'Three nights a week," the just judge declared, "is not too often, whether the lady's beau calls on all three evenings or whether she divides her time in va rious ways." Too Often the Way.

The people of Galveston don't mean to get caught again by the soa. Accord ing to the report, lately made public, of the three engineers who were asked to devise a plan, danger of a destructive overflow, in which the town would be exposed to a pounding surf, can be averted by the construction of a high breakwater on the side of the city to wards the sea, and by an amount of filllng-in, behind this sea-wall, suffi cient to raife the main part of the town above the level of destructive floods. The sea-wall, as projected, would be of concrete, about three miles in length and some seventeen feet above mean low- water, or 1.3 feet higher than the high water mark of 1900. Back of the wall, the engineers suggest further, there should be built an earthen em bankment to the height of eighteen feet above low water at a distance of two hundred feet from the wall, the grade thence sloping gradually to the level of the fill. The cost of the sea-wall alone is estimated at about a million and a quarter, that of the embankment at something over half a million. Just as soon as the people of Galves ton knew what to do they set about doing it. A popular subscription was opened to an issue of 4 per cent, bonds. From one firm and four individuals a quarter of a million was pledged with in three days, and $u0,000 more was promised in amounts of ten dollars to five hundred. The terms of subscrip tion were made exceedingly easy. Civic pride has been enlisted, civic patriotism and faith In the city's future. The va rious fraternal orders have made it a point of honor to add to the pledges, and numbers of the police have set devn th'lr r.irr. Tho lpbivinr rnnn lation is almost a unit in advocacy of a speedy prosecution of the work, be lieving, as do the others, that. Galveston needs but reasonable safeguards for life and property against occasional storms to insure a rapid and perma nent development in numberp, influence and wealth. Galveston is flourishing now, and will soon be flourishing more than ever. Its disaster could hardly be called a bless ing in disguise, but it has given rise to h. lot of ulueky enterprise. i I which he justifies his preference for the English system is short.
