bers not being quite posted how they should

THE BOOT BLACKS.

The boot blacks have found some friends
after all, and there is strong public senti-
ment against the ordinance passed at the last
meeting of the city council levyng a tax of
SIS per year on each boot black and requiring
him to pursue his business within prescribed
limits.
The tax is considered too large and the re-
strictionS too severe, and that the result will
be to drive the sinners completely out of the
business and force them to adopt more ques-
tionable methods of obtaining livelihood.
The boot blacks are a necessary nuisance,
and the evils complained of should be abated
by police surveillance. We believe that the
object could be attained by amending the Or
dinanCe SO as to require the wearing OF a
badge, for which sum, say Is cents could be
paid every month, each boot black to report
each month to the office of the chief Of police.
The ordinance should contain a clause leav-
ing it discretionary with the marshal to grant
a badge in case Of parties guilty of miscon-
duct or indecency or gambling, and thereby
breaking up the evils complained Of.

Easter Services.

St. Marks Episcopal was crowded yestert
day, and the church presented wealth of flor
al decoration. The banners of roses pendan-
on the wall next the baptsmal font, Were
beautiful; one being of golden buds, the other
of red and white roses; the font was entwin-
ed with ferns and white roses; the pulpit was
covered with a rich cloth decorated with rose
buds; the organ, the chancel, and the altar
fairly loaded down with floral offerings. The
same flor al decorations in New York would
cost thousands of dollars, but here it is the
rich bounty of generous nature, and shows the
advancing taste of our citizens in the culture
of flowers. Dean Richardson is an artist Of
the highest order aside from his excellence
as the spiritual head of his congregation. The
usual easter services and some very good sing
ing especially the solo by MIR. J. X. Murchie
The collection taken up was for the liquidation
