mated as the ''Inferno.'' On these
shelves are ranged in suggestive rows
all such volumes as ought to bring a
blush to the cheek of innocence. The
restrictions upon their circulation is
very rigid indeed, for it would seem that
there are lots of people who are always
trying to get hold of something nasty in
the literary way. Almost Invariably
they give it as an excuse for demanding
such books that they are going through
ture and are compelled reluctantly to
peruSe the Objectionable works as a
portion of the task before them. So the
attendants are obliged to exercise con-
siderable discretion. If a reader comes
up and says he has heard that such and
such book is naughty and that he
would like to see it, the volume will
probably be given him; but if he tries
the ''cOurSe of literature dodge. he is
apt to be refused. Many women of

The City Fathers Again Hold a Busy
Morning Session.
BURGESS LINE EXTENSION.
The Strengthening Of Third Avenue South
Occasions the Usual Hubbub---
Adjourned to Monday.

The city council yesterday morning
finished the business not disposed of at
Fridays session, and among the matters
brought before the August body was a
petition from the Lehigh Coal and Iron
company asking that its coal yard on the
river, at the foot of Second avenue
north, be excluded from the fire limits.
i'll view of improvements that are con-
templated.
The ordinance providing for an extern
sion of time for the completion of the
West Minneapolis street railway, better
known as the Burgess line, was pre-
Sented. The extension is to Dec. 81,
and the company agrees to deposit S10,-
000 as a guarantee that the laborers will
receive their pay. Aid. Cooley objected
to the preamble, which read that
whereas, Said Minneapolis West Side
street hallway company has partially com
pIeeeu salo work, and has done large
amount OF grading, greatly benefting the
streets OF said city of Minneapolis; and
Ihat the time within which said line of
street railway was to have been compile ted
and In operation has expired; and

He thought that the clause in refer
ence to grading might be used at some
time i'll an action to secure reimburse

fault with the word contract and
upon his motion the ordinance went to
the committee on railroads. Aid.

vidIng for the adoption of the city engi-

street, which appears to have been
made for DOrillius Morrison's front
door yard, and there was the usual dis
cusSion. Finally the matter was re-
ferred to the aldermen of the Eighth
ward.
An ordinance was presented to the
committee on workhouse, instituting a
code OF rules for the regulation of the
workhouse. The ordinance was origi-
naily drawn up by the assistant su-
was approved by the committee and the
city attorney. 1t was referred to the
committee on ordinances and work
house.
Two protests against street paving
were received and referred to the alder
men of the wards. A number of reso-
lutlons were passed ordering curb and
gutter and sidewalk. Several contracts
for sewer brick were approved. The
council adjourned to meet in special
session next Monday morning.
On recommendation of the committee
on sewers, William Muller was awarded
the contract for furnishing 250,00O
sewer brick, Swan Johnson 10000 and

was Instructed to advertise for $500, coo

"All quiet along the line," is the

Outside of few picnics and lawn

New York Letter.
The gallus girl has caught my atten-
ton this week. Three kinds of her
were all seen at Couey Island on the
same afternoon. The first was an eX-
curSionist from the Bowery district, and
she looked it. She stood at the counter
in an open beer garden, toying care
leSsly with a schooner STEM OF the
malt beverage. She was real sassy
thing. There was no attempt indicated
in her toilet at keeping up with even
THE BowERY FASHIONS.
Her heavily feathered hat was in the
style Of no season that | could recall,
her bang was obstreperous and her
manner of the bedarn kind. She was
the Lie of the present day in New
York. doubtless able to swear or fight
with the worst Nose in her c0terie. The
second species of galluS girls was rep
resented by Il couple. They were a
brace of very gay birds, and quite ready
to mate with any fowls i'll any nests.
