NORM AL NOTES.

Last THURSDAYS essayist was Mr.. Vic
kersheim who had chosen Suffrage" as
his theme for discussion. The. speaker
held that suffrage ought to be limited to
intelligence; that those only who are
able to read, write and comprehend the
working of orr institutions should be al
lowed to eXer else the privilege of vot-
ing; and that suffrage. being made an
educational qualification, intelligent wo-
men should be given the ballot as well
as intelligent iLcn.
Miss Annie irving presented an inter-
esting paper Friday.
The literary in the evening was not 80
well attended as usual. The new Pr esi-
dent, in taking the chair, caused a storm
of applause by his overlooking natural
witticisms, !. e., by some very amusing,
appropriate and happy remarks. Con-
Time the way you began, George, and
everything will come out all right. We
congratulate YOU on your grand success.
Miss Gins recitation was excellently
learned and presented in an admirably
pleasing manner. The same comment
applies also to Miss Wildes.

NO MORE MEAT DELIVERED.

The butchers of the city have been
holding number of meetings lately,
and have formed guasi-organization
The result of the meetings so far has
been determination to abolish the svs-
tenn Of delivering meat. Beginning with
Monday no more meat will be delivered
by any of the butchers. The question of
asking the council TO appoint meat in
spector has been discussed, and will
come up for action at future meeting
II is claimed that large quantities of dis.
eased meat is sold ut low prices, with
which first-class meat cannot compete.
The meat inspection system is IN vogue
in most Of the larger cities, and many Of
the smaller ones, and merely as matter
of protection to the consumer, as well as
to the butcher, it should be put in oper-
alton in this city. The decision to take
off the meat wagons, however, will not
be received with any very good grace by
the citizens in general. In fact, many of
the butchers themselves opposed it as
likely to hurt their trade. The conven-
fence to customers of the delivery sys-
TEN is very great. and it is to be hoped
that the new arrangement will not be
permanent. A small advance in price
of some meats went into effect Monday.
Steaks will remain at their prices, but
pork, sausage, etc., will be advanced on
account of the high price of hogs.

thoroughly discussed, the universal
opinion being that the bonus can yet be
raised. Mr.. J. A. Willard presented
