There are many straws which toll how the wind is- blowing and though as yet it lias not assumed the form of a hurri cane we can plainly set! the advances made in Raleigh in the past few years. The city authorities, in the every brunch of this administration, are active, zealous and progressive men and inly a glance shows the straightforward course they have pursued and the r.ipid strides forward which our city is mak ing under their leadership. The Mayor has now few offenders who regularly present themselves before lut1 bar of justice and this is something for which we may be grateful, not al-i-ie to the Mayor, but also to the Chief of Police and his able blue-coated, brass buttoned, heavy-billeted assistants. Our city's streets have been improved and beautiful and our nearby park have been created into inviting pluustin grounds. The health of the town, many thanks to our city ihealth officer, has improved greatly, in fact, there have been fewer cases of diphtheria here in the past four years (since Mr. Sale came into ofiiee) than in any previous year of which any record was made. The unhealthy odors in different sections of the city have lK'en dispersed and to-day no cleaner city is to be found. . Our city schools, from which the fu ture administrators of our city's affairs must come, have the largest attendance in their history and the average per cent present shows a phenomenal in provement. This alone should be a source of much gratification. The private enterprises, throughout the city's limits, have all worked har moniously, with the ctiy fathers and a continuance of such co-operation wit'i a single purpose the advancement of the city will give Raleigh an enviable re putation. CLEANLINESS AND GODLINESS. Truly cleanliness I next to Godliness and we believe there is not a merchant on Fayetteville street, who has not at some time thought of those words. It is unpleasant to call attention !o such matters, but would not the many visitors to our city, specially 1 those , thoughtful men who- are at present meet r ing here, think more favorably of us and speak in higher terms of .our capital city if every store keeper on the important "streets had his sidewalk swept the last , thing Saturday night so that on Sunday morning, when every one ho on his Sun day-go-to-meeting the sidewalks of our main street may not mar the beauty of . our whole city., - - If this were done, those going to church would always be forcibly remind mA 'VtfoatilmoM U nnt tn find II- mess...,'.,-.' - - - ' -'iLABQ MUST PAY CITY TAX The Water Company Waxes Fat and Kicks. THE CITY KICKS BACK IF THE COMPANY CHARGES FOK SritlNKLING STREETS. IT MUST HELP PAY THE CHARGE Another Sergeant of Police Elected and Officer Mott Thompson is the Man-Officer Ellyson Reinstated by the Board. It was recommended to the Board of Aldermen last night by the Police oommittee that Officer Ellyson. who was suspended three weeks ago for aban doning his beat, be reinstated. This was done and Officer Mott Thompson was elected a sergeant of the police force. It will be remembered that at its last meeting 'the Board passed an ordinance creating two police sergeants to be se lected from the force, but, at that time, lump onlv one Officer Junius Mul len. It was in accord with that ordin ance that Officer Thompson was elected Inst night. . The imsiciuvtion of Offioeir Faucett was accepted, to take effect December 4th. His successor will be chosen ai the next meeting. , The Finance committee's report show. ...l- frttnl nol lections for the mouth of November .as - follows: Chief of police, $121.15, tax list, $11,210.50; market rents, .$231.07: street paving, $87.52.

Total expenditure far the month.' $0,595.77. M.n:i)in Ctirrell opposed the payment ..rim of the electric light com n .-. ,, , VI) the ground that it had not com iiliiit with its contract, in that it had not nlaced a -light on the corner of SinithhVId and Hlount streets. Uciilvini: to this objection Alderman Ivey, chairman of the Light committee, explained that the city had already 71 lights, all it was entitled to, and tht contract had been complied with except that a light was to be changed from the corner of Lane and Blount streets to Smit.hlield and Blount, and another was to be swung at the corner of l'ersou and Teace streets, lie insisted on the payment of the company's bill, saying that it was uow giving excellent service. On motion of Aldermen Boushall the citv clerk was instructed to notify the light company that no other bills would tie paid until these changes were made Touching the sale of city bonds Mr Roushall, chairman of the Finance com- niit tee, stated that the 6ale had been made without advertising, save in ine city papers, and the ready sale was due to Citv Treasurer Joseph O Brown, than whom no banker in the Uni ted States stands higher. He therefore moved that the thanks of the Board be tendered Mr. Brown for his services in this respect. : Mr. Drewry, in seconding this motion. paid n high tribute to Mr. Brown, and jtuv'l that the sale of the bonds was a nir ; tmirkable one the beet that has '( made of any Southern securities inre the war. The bonds are now be ing re-sold at 112 "'and the price may reach 115. Alderman E. A. Johnson, speaking for the colored people of Raleigh, said he wanted to subscribe to the resolution thanks to Mr. Brown, and add that the colored voters had helped in securing the bonds nnd -they desired to aid the city In its progress in every way possible, Several other members of the Board made remarks showing appreciation of Mr. Brown s services. The report of the Street committee was read by Mr. J. C. Drewry, the chairman of the committee. This excel lent report was yesterday published in full In this paper. Mr. Drewry stated in connection with his report that the pipe for draining Johnston street had been ordered end that other improve ments would be made on this thorough. fare. The physicians reported 48 patients treated, 115 visits made, 35 of fice consultations, t prescriptions fill ed, 43 patients discharged. 2 continued. 1 sent to hospital, 1 to County Home, 1 died. The Sewer committee recommended that a sewer be laid on North Blood, worth street through the lands of Mr, W. 0. Stronach, who gives the dtj right of way. The sewer must not cost more than $800 and be so put in as to con nect with a sewer to be put in, at some future time, on Bast street According to the report of the Light committee, the tights tor the streets, mamet nouse ana other departments, during the past month, cost 8665.1)4 The report of the Water committee was as follows: "Whereas, a communication has been mbmitted to the Board of Aldermen from the Rnlelgh Water Company in wnien complaint is made concerning wa ter nsed In sprinkling the streets other than business streets and water nsed in macadamizing streets, which petition was referred to the finance committee.

CONCERT AT BLIND INSTITUTE. A Delightful Entertainment C.ivnmlimoti tnry to the Methodist C'niil'f icnce. j Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock the niemliers of the Conference attended by their good ladies, hied themselves to the ch:i!:l of the Blind Institution, where a tri : was in store for them; and a most doubtful treat it" was. A program consisting of sixteen num bers was presented in very creditable style. The principal nnd faculty of the In stitution always hold themselves in read iness to do their share in entertaining strangers who may be within our gates, and the quality of the instruction given nnd the standard maintained is so hieh that they are ready in a moment almost to give a varied program which would redound very much to the credit of any school within the . borders of our State. Following is the program: 1. Anthem, "How Lovely are the Mes sengers," (Meudelsshou, 1809-1847.), Ad vanced Class. 2. Piano Solo, "March Fantastiqne," (Smith.), Thomas- Hughes. d. Chorus, "Greeting Song," (Simp- 4. Orchestra, "Overture Caliph Bag dad," (Boieldien, 1770-1S34I. 5. Recitation, "Arathusa's Torment," caipaernia Aaenery. 6. Chorus, "Gathering Home," Inter mediate Class. 7. Vocal Solo, "My Ain Countrie," rannie nainey. 8. School-room Exercises. PART SECOND. 1. Orchestra, "Leonora WalU," (Oates- v nitet. 2. Chorus, "Night, Lovely (Berger), Advanced Class. Night,' 3. Recitation, "The Usual Way,' Florence Duncan. 4. Vocal Duet, "The Merry Insects,1 Kate Harris, Birdie Burns. 5. Flano Solo, "Dance of the Dwarfs, (Grieg, 1843), Gertrude Fisher. 6. Chorus, "My First Love," Interme diate Class. 7. Exercises by Physical Culture Class, Opposition Movements. 8. Selection by Orchestra. Epeeially appropriate for the occasion was -the opening Anthem, "How Lovely are the messengers that bring ns the gospel of peace," which was well done indeed. The piano solos were performed quit masterfully and were greatly enjoyed by the audience. Of special interest was the greeting song sung by the little tots, the words and music of which are by Mr. Simpson, the eminent director of music. The auditors demanded an en. core from the orchestra but owing to the men or time it was not granted. The body of young players comprising the orchestra is by far the best thin In that line in the city; they play so well to gether every one at just the right time as tnougn possessed by one mind, wjiich is the real state of the case, the mind oeing mat or tnetr director.

Would-be Gold-hunters Tlav Job In Getting to A .. no Easy There are several poodle in Raleigh and vicinity, and no iluubt many more in other parts of the State, who con template going to the Klondike coun try next spring. In forming their plans H would be well for them to take into consideration the following facts contained in a letter received 'by Mayor Russ, of this city, yesterday, from the Mayor of Seattle, from which point all Klondike vessel sail: , . "There are two established routes to the Klondike country from Puget Sound. One is via the ocean to St Michaels, thence via river steamer up the Yukon. This journey is made- in the summer mouths only. The other is also by steam er to Dyea, Skaguay or Pyramid Harbor and thence over the ChUcoot White Pass,- and the Daulton Trail respective ly to the headwaters of the Yukon and then down by boat .-.'.-.... "Each of these trails has been success fully used by parties going into th. Yukon, the first two being most gen erally nsed. The time of travel from Seattle by either way is about the same thirty or forty days. "No person should start for the gold fields with less than $500, excluding his transportation to Pnget Sound. This sum will be barely sufficient for one man for one year with the scant neces sities of . life and travelling under tht most favorable circumstances. : "The summers on the Ynkon are short the winters are long, and the weather is severe. Extreme heat and cold exist making the climate difficult to endure. On account of the isolation of the min ing regions all persons are cautioned to take ample supplies of provisions and of warm clothing." STATE GUARD APPROPRIATION. A New Manual of Arms Sent Out to All the Companies. The Paymaster General of the State Guard will, on December 15th. pay the annual appropriation of $150 each to the companies in the State Guard.

Col Harrell was yesterday sending out from the Adjutant General's office the new Manual of Arms to all companies of the State Guard. These regulations go Into effect December 15th, and all future inspections by the Inspectoi General will be held under them. Congress having authorized the Issue of the Springfield rifle, caliber .45. to the National Guard, this adaptation of the manual for the service magazine rifle, cahber .30, to the Springfield rifle, caliber .45, was prepared by First Lieu tenant Airthur Murray, First United States Artillery, Yale University, with a view to having the Manuals for the two rifles as nearly alike as possible, so that in case the National Guard should ever be armed with the service magazine rifle, the manunl for this arm could he learned with the least possible trouble. The adaptation has been ap proved by the Secretary of War. and published as a War Department circu lar tor the use of the Regular Anny when required, and for the nse of the National Guard of the different State of the Union.
