The Opponents Of Sunday Beer Demand

Addresses to the People Of Chi
cago and the Mayor.

one is of opinion that the enforcement OF the
law next Sunday will be failure, and many an
ticipate q slively time" There will certainly
be demonstration Of some kind, and there will
probably be more noise and music in the streets
than on any previous Sunday for many years. It
was expected that the committee appointed by
the German mass-meeting to inform the Mayor
of their action, would wait on His Honor
yesterday, and formally present him with
the anti-sunday resolutions Whether the
Mayor wished to-, avoid meeting

rush through the Secretaries room into the
Comptroller'B office about o'clock to attend q
meeting of the Council Finance COMMITTEES;
but, it having been whispered around that the
Committee Of Fifteen, and delegation from
the Committee Of Seventy also, intended to IN
teryiew him, he disappeared suddenly, and could
not be found. He is absolutely bounded to
DEATH" and certainly cannot be blamed for de-
string to eacape the torture of endless talk.
THE CoM3nTTEE OF FIFTEEN
held meeting at the room of the Temperance
Bureau, No. 172 East Adams street, at o'clock
in the afternoon, Rev. DR.. Eyerts in the chair.
