Mr.. Hayes was elected.
Mr.. II. R. Boss offered the following resolu.

Chicago have vainly demanded OF the West d.
vision Company reasonable Accommodations;
WHEREAS, In the insolent and tyranptc treat
ment they have subjected us to, and the failure
to comply with said demands until they hayo
been seriously threatened with competition, we
find just cause OF complaint and refuse to

operating Of trucks along certain streets in tbs

that suid ordinance should be passed, and thai
we request tho Aldermen Of this ward To usa
their influence for its passage and vote for tha
Resolred, That copy Of these resolutions b.
handed TO the Common Council and the Atasr-
men of this ward
Mr. CastIe advocated the passage Of the reso-
lutions because OF the resultant benefits that
would accrue In the value Of property. He be-
l1eved It would appreciate property to tho
amount OF : or 50 per cent
DR.. Gray opposed the proposee railroad, tooth
and nail. He believed it would damage prop
erty. and he bad no faith IN its Promises to do
all that WAS claimed for it. He did not like the
ttnkling Of the bells going BY hts door, regard
ing it us great nuisance as the blowing OF the
popcorn man's horn Dr. Gray Stated that c.
b. Farweu and B. F. Norris stated to him that
they owned no stock in the Peoples Company,
though their names appeared among the incor.
porulors. He had fought this, new company,
and would continue to fight until he could SEQ
some tangible reasons for supporting It.
Mr. II. T. Boss said it was pretty good evidence
that the new Company had some financial stand
ing when the West Division Company was tight
ing it so hard.
MIR S. ii. Booth made the speech Of the even-
Ing in favor OF the new Company being allowed
to lay tracks along Fulton street. He de-
nounced monopolies OF all kinds. but especially
street, railways, and was quite pointed In his re-
marks about those who opposed this competing
company. He regarded this new road Us their
only protection. . .
After some counter remarks by Dr. Gray, TO-
fterating his previous reasons for refusing to
sign the petition for allowing the traok-laytng
by his door, and more speeches on the other
side, the resolu lions were unanimously adopted
and the meeting adjourned

Words of Wisdom.

The difficulty of the world is not that
it does not know enough, but 1t can't
find time to practice what it does know.
Expect little of him who promises a
great deal.
The block of granite, which was an
obstacle in the pathway of the weak. be-
comes stepping stone in the pathway
of the strong.
On the stage of the world, frankness is
the only part a man knows without
having to learn it, or fearing to forget
it.
There would not be half the difficulty
in doing right, but for the frequent oc-
currences of cases where the lesser vir-
tues are on the side of wrong.
The web of our life is of mingled
yarn. good and III together; our virtues
would be proud if our faults whipped
them not, and our crimes would despair
if they were not cherished by our vir-
tues.
We look back to former times and the
struggles that then were, and wish we
had been helpers in the fight; but there
is honorable warfare now, and if we see
not what must be done now, or have
not the courage to do lit if we can see,
neither should we have had courage

Snake and Frog.

Many years ago, while in Ceylon, !,
lived in a house in "Slave island, "
raised on high platform. The steps
up TO the door had become loosened;
and behind them colony of frogs nad
established themselves. One morning
/ watched snake "a cobra) creep up,
insert its head into crack and seize a
frog, which ne then and there swallowed:
But the crack that admitted the thln nat
head and neck of the ophidian Woulo
not permit of the same being Withdrawn
when the neck was swollen with the
addition of the. frog inside it. The
snake tugged and struggled, but in vain,
and after series of futile attempts dis
garged its prey and withdrew its head.
But the sight was too tantaliz:ng. Again
the head was inserted in the crack and
the coveted morsel swallowed, and
again the vain struggles to Withdraw
were renewed. / saw this repeated sew
eral times, till, gaining wisdom by ex-
perience, the snake seized the frog by
one leg, withdrew 1t from its coigne OF
vantage and swallowed it outside
