MOVING SIDEWALK FOR PARIS Projeot for Oonstructlng; One Biz Miles Along; the Right Bank of The Seine. , i The Pans Figaro states that a project exists for constructing a moving platform on the right bank of; the Seine. It will be underground and its length will be about ten kilometres. . ' The route proposed passes under the Avenue de l'Opera, the great boulevards, the Boulevard Sebastopol, the Rue Tur bigo and the Rue de Rivoli. In place of the three platforms now existing at the exposition the new schemeembracesfour. The first, as the exposition, will o sta tionary, the second will have a velocity of 1.50 metres. Thus a very rapid means of transit a foot will, exist in that por tion of Paris now most encumbered by vehicular traffic, for aft: all locomotion will be in one direction a person walking fast on the fourth platform, having no adverse stream of pedestrians to avoid, will be able, to do more than ten miles an hour.

Thirty millions is the limit of the reduction that will be made in the war taxes. That is the 'flat of the senators in charge of. the revenue bill passed last week in' the house.

The Fbeb Pbess, in a recent issue, spoke favorably of voting bonds for water wows and street sewerage. This writer is heartily In favor of both but does not imagine that the taxpayers will be quick to lump at an opportunity to vote money for sewerage until . that already voted is used for that purpose. , The 125,000 voted for bonds were : to be applied as follows: - . ' . Electric light plan t,....'.......;.......f 10,000 Redemption of old bonds and . floating debt, 11 000 Sewerage 4,000 Over 1,000 was secured as premiums on bonds which should be added for sew- erase, makintr f 5.000. ... We have the electric plant, but although the money bas been in the treasury for months,- and notwithstanding winter. for sanitary reasons, is the time to do such work yet absolutely nothing bas been done towards permanent sewerage. "They say." but we hope it is not true. that several tnousand dollars in old bonds are still outstanding because they are not yet due. - , . . . . , . Was there not an agreement on - the part of the holder that he would allow the town to taker them up7 . We were told so before the election. - If there was no such understanding and there are bonds unpaid, then why in the name of common sense, were all of the new bonds placed on the market at the same time, thus making the town pay interest on the whole of the new bonds and also on part ef the old ones? , ' Does it strike any one as a brilliant financial scheme? . .. - . . In view of these facts and alleged facts. there must be a large turn, of cold cash in the treasury, for we take it for granted that the gentlemen, constituting , the board of aldermen would not allow a dol lar voted for special purposes to be uwj otherwise than the voters directed, be cause that would be illegal and inor able. - ...

Salitury Truth-Index: Miss Fannie sprinkle had a narrow escape from a horrible dath at the Salisbury cotton mills, and nothing saved her but main itud ahuoet uperbumau strength. Miss Sprinkle was at her uuivl work in the null when hertlress canght between the pulleys and spinning frames. In an in Mtanti she braced herself against a frame and the desperation of the situation gave her almost superhuman strength. By tins very aet she saved her life, and at the same time stopped sixteen spinning frames and caused one of the large belts in the mill to drop off. It wan a provi dential deliverance from a horribledeath. The Goldsboro ' correspondent of the Wilmington Messenger reports an amus ing occurrence t as follows: A country man dropped in the office of the water works company on yesterday and after speaking to Superintendent Frank Evans and a glance around the premises said: "I'll take a little corn wbiekey." He was promptly advised by Sir. Evans that he onljr sold water. '.'What," exclaimed the country man, "can yqu make a living at that?'? Mr. Evans realized that he was face to face with something green and proceeded to explain the business of supplying water. - How,' that the' com pany, at enormous expense,, had a pumping station put in at the river, pims laid to a stand pipe and numer ous large and small pipes traversed the city underground; that water for manu. facturing, washing, cooking and drink wig purposes was supplied at bo much retail per month, etc., the countryman all the while looking on and listening with nn air of astonishment. When Mr. Evans had" concluded, the countryman remarked: - "Well. I'll bedurned). Inever heei-ed tell of it. I thought this was a whinkey shop,"' and out he went fully believing Mr, Evans had taken him for a sucker.
