we again direct the attention Of the
pubic 10 the fact tnat a Mrs. Jennie Fer
ris is giving entertainments in this city
for money consideration. These enter
tsinments are neither religious, scientific
nor charitable, and are not, therefore, such
as the ordinances Of the city permit with
out license. The fac: that Mrs. +. does
not demand the price Of admission at the
door does not relieve her of responsibility.
Every person who attends her seances Is
expected to pay for his eutertainment,and
the enclosing Of the amount in an envel-

CoMMERcTALAvESuE.-The tax PAYERS
OF Cairo warmly commend that economy
and prudent management on the par. Of
our City Council that has brought the
city's promises to pay up to n par value
as compared with currency. They hope
and expect, nevertheless, that the system
Of retrenchment" being pursued will not
be found incompatible with the repair and !
improvement Of our streets and
sidewalks. Commercial avenue, be-
tween Twentieth and Thir,y.fourth
streets, ought to be filled, if not
to grade, a. least to a point above the Pc
riodical accumulations of the sipe and
rsin;water that "af'iict' that portion of
Cairo.

horcughfare of such great and growing
Importance to the business of

ondition any longer. Every citizen Of

lumber Of those who expect to contribute
Argely to the general prosperity of our
ity, will be greatly benefited. The cost
the Oil, compared with the object to bs
ttained, will be trifiing; but, whether

work be undertaken, then, and put
through during the present season.

The New Masonic Temple, OF KensinEtOn
Lodge, No. 21I.
Kensington Lodge, No. 211, A. Y. M, which
was constituted in 1923, and has always existed
since its establishment in the old district from
which 1t takes its name has given a new evl-
deDce of its prosperity. To-day Its new edihce,
which hereafter will be known as the kensing-
ton Masonic Temple will be completed. 1t is
erected at No. l3015 Richmond street.. Ii has q
front of 34 feet, depth of n, and is three
stories in height, though it rises far above the
buildings which flank it. 1t is rough cast and
presents very attractive appearance. The
upper stories are to be devoted solely to the
uses of the lodge, and for this purpose the third
has been converted into beautiful meeting
room, "a by 81 feet and finished in handsome
style. Adjoining this is a reception-room, 81 by
"a feet not wanting in any comforts and conve
niences.
The Lodge room is entirely reitted with new
and handsome black walnut furniture, covered
with blue reps. The ceiling and walls are fres-
coed in very handsome style A magnificent
Administer carpet, the prevailing colors OF which
are light blue and white, Is spread upon the
floor. The gas fixtures are in keeping with the
decorations of the room-than which none finer
are in the city. Connected with the lodge room
are two small ante-rooms, appropriately fur
Dished. Above the reception room is the ban
quenting room, 80 by 81 feet, which has been
furnished with the necessary conveniences.
The cost of preparing the building for the

1t will be seen that there were 102, $50 tons
of all kinds sent to market for the week,
against 1866, 537 for the corresponding week last
year, of which 81, ,S26 were anthracite. The
trade is also ahead of last year, so far, 354, 1856

''There is, therefore, no use in running up
the prices of coal so much in our cities, some

There are no quotations this week for freights

trade is concerned. For the coal on hand at
all the shipping ports the prices have advanced
but the demand is not good.

From this il will be seen that the exhibit for
this years business is anything but favorable
Not only is the total amount far behind that of
last year, but as stated in former article, the
business with New York and all points CON
trolled by the New York market is not TO be
compared with that of former years. This is
owing 10 the difficulty of the high rates of
transportation which the Philadelphia opera
able to bring coal to the near port of Philadel-
phia from its mines at as cheap rate as that at
which New York firms were able to obtain it
direct from their muSh more distant coal re-
New York business is out of the question as an
opposition to ours that the Philadelphia figures
show any increase. In all other eases the
figures of last year are far in advance. The busi-
ness with New York itself shows the greatest
eecline, the amount sent in 1879 being nearly
double the amount sent in 1870.
