cation of his honor the Mayor. assigning
his reasons for Withholding his signature to

in the Common Council on the 29th day of
December, 1885, in regard to laborers'
wages. report:
That while they do not concur with his

nevertheless they appreciate the tact that
under the charter as it now exists it might
be impossible to carry out as an entirety all
the recommendations of the Committee as
contained in former report.
In view of these facts your Committee
submit herewith substitute for the resolu-
| ton for the one to which the Mayor with
/ he'd his signature. and as TO the substitute
there can be no question about the propri-
ETY. of its passage and approval as il simply
recommends that the city and its different

day. When the cost of living is taken into
consideration it is unjust and almost crimi-
nal Tor great and prosperous municipality
/ like St. Paul to ask men TO work for less
sum, as this will hardly supply men Of fam
lies with daily bread, much less the COM
forts of life.
Your committee trust, however, that such

lature again conyenes, as will afford greater
protection TO men employed on contracts "a

A Senator Plays Ball with His SON
Baltimore sun.

The residents of Lafayette Square
were a day or two ago permitted to wit
ness an interesting game of base bali
from their back windows. The contest
took place in the back yare of United
States Senator, and the players were Sen
ator German and his son Arthur. The
younger German inherits his fathers
love for the national game and is an en-
thusiastic admirer of the sport. He has
been regular attendant at all the pro-
fessional ball games played here this sea-
son. and recently he became possessed
with the idea that he has mastered the
secret of curve pitching. On the morn
ing in 4ustion young German was en-
deavoring to initiate his father into the
mysteries of the curve. Senator Dolph,
of Oregon, and John Mclean, editor of
the Cincinnati Enquirer who are neigh
bors of Senator German, were interested
spectators, as both of the gentlemen last
named are base bah enthusiasts.

New York Letter.

1t was one of those girls and exactly

The Mattresses were volunteers accustom-

and bingham for the task of benevolent
seryitude. The customers were polite
folks, as q rule but an exception was o
coarse, intolerable boor, who may have
entered by design to see how it felt to be
waited on by an heiress. The girl at
whose table he took place was not going
to be scared out of her duty. and she de
murely solicited his order.
