The most illustrious gymnas.ic artists In
Europe, shining conspiciously among the
stellar lights OF the arena in Paris, Berlin
and Vienna, have, for years, been the Sill

Their sensational flights In mid-air, their
headlong dives, flying Leaps, stupsndous
somersaults and invisible suspensions, have

breathless admiration. The ladies turn

THE GAS TRUSTEES.
ANEW Law SOON goo INTO FORCE
eI,Ias th.n coatrol Of tAo wOtl. sasj.et u
Regulations Approved By cOaneil-SO More
PlddlIsE AuAy Councils Time on Tri.
nlag RssOlutions-A Coed Change.

Atth last meeting but one Of Council, 1t
was the duty OF that body to elect successors
to tho present City Gas Trustees. This duty
was neglected, not only at that meeting, but
at the succeeding mestinga as well. The two
years for which the present incumbentS were
elected have expired, and they now hold
office merely by virtue Of the clause which
provides that their term shall last until their
successors are elected and qualified. The
matter was referred 10 In both the meetings
OF Council mentioned, but no Flection-waS
held, though at the lat meeting MOTION
was adopted that the business should be
attended 10 at the next meeting.
This election Is important. Not that It Is
desirable 10 supplAnt the present efficient
Trustees. They will probably be reelected.
But at the last session OF the Legislature an
amendment TO the city charter was passed,
giving the Trustees sole control and manage-
msnt OF the gas works aud the street lighting
syst .m, subject TO rules and regu lations made
BY themselves and approved by the City
Council. In ether words, they are to have
the same power In regard to the gas works
and street lamps that the Board OF Public
Works now have over the streets
and alleys, or inc beard Oh OonItol over
the water works and pipes. This
law goes into effect as soon as new Trustees
are chosen. There are members OF Council
who oppose any change for the better In the
city government. They fought bitterly the
change in the control and repair Of the
streets and the management Of the water
works; yet both these changes, in spite Of
some drawbacks not blamabie on the
system, commend themselves TO all
unprejudiced citizens. Nor can any
reasonable man doubt that the pro-
posed change In the management OF the gas
works will be equally beneficial. As 1t now
is the merest trihles connected with street
lighting must be passed upon In Council,
and time Is thus needlessly wasted that
might be better spent. In addition to this,
matters OF this kind will receive more atten-
ton, aud not merely be voted through be-
cause somebody wants It so.

terestirg entertainment in the lecture room
OF the Second Presbyterian Church lest even

should. The room was not more than half
full and 1t should have been crowded. The
entertainment was one that delighted and
edited all who were present. Mr.. Arbeely's
command OF tue English Language was In
itself wonderful, and his lecture on Palestine
and Egypt, rich and instructive. 1t was in
the nature OF an illustrated discourse in
which the representatives Of the far off land
appeared In the curious dresses Of various
tribes and sects Of the Holy Land, both male
aud female. They exhibited their household
utensils, furniture, books, musical instru.
ments, etc., and showed how. they were used.
MIR. Arbeely also spoke Of their impressions
OF this country. and compared 1t wit their
ancient lsnd. He paid glowing tribute TO

considerable attention on the street yester-
dsy by their red fezs rel shoes and other

Opera House next Monday night In their
famous Boarding House farce. A recent Port

their fullest measure, ard the dry humor OF
Crane was never more apparent The two

movement is watched with interest, and
their style being so entirely different makes
1t all the more amusing. The fight between
