The City Solicitor on the Rack.


Mr.. Elphinstone was then literally put on
the stand. Mr. Kennedy first asked it Allie
gheny remained as it was, what legislation
would Insecure.
Mr.. Elphinstone replied: "Only such as
is given to cities of the third class, such as
Reading and Lancaster"
At this a cry of disapproval was raised.
and it was at once decided the transition
should be made.
When the question of dividing the wards
came up. Mr.. Elphinstone said the city
could be divided into wards regardless OF
the school districts by having all tine school
property turned over to the Board of Control
and making only one school district instead
of one for each ward.
In answer to Mr.. Hunter, how to secure a
division of wards, he said he would advise
Councils 10 go into court and maHdamus the
Mayor to issue certificates for each new ward,
and follow the matter through the courts, and
deIcrmi ne the legalityof the theentireproceeding.
Mr.. Suaman thought it would be impos-
sible to comply with the act in regard to the
election of Councilmen, since the act in
1887 set a. time for the election OF Council
men in Pittsburg. That time was passed,
and as they could not accept that portion
he did not see why they needed to accept
any.
After some desultory talk of how to rem
edy the matter, Mr.. Elphinstone suggested
that a special meeting of Councils be held
and decide first on the division of wards.
Then to follow out the provisions of the act
further as far as it was plain, and when in
doubt have the courts decide.
The Present Charter Too Limited.
Mr.. Hunter asked if the present city char.
| ter would not allow the election OF heads oil
departments. and was answered no." that il
was not broad enough.
Mr.. Neeb asked if the present Councils
could not elect them, and was answered "no''
to this also. Mr.. E!phinstone said that il
could not possibly be until after the new
| Councils were elected and had taken theil
seats. That would be in 1891, after the or
| ganization of the new body with the mem.
| bers elected from the new wards. The Con.
| troller and Treasurer alone could be elected
| by the present body, but not the heads o.
| departments
After this a number of motions were made
and 1t was decided the committee had nc
| power to make any recommendations. A:
| both the Presidents of Councils were pres
I ent, they agreed TO call a special meeting o
| Councils on Friday night. They will gt
into committee of the whole and act OF
the recommendations of the City Solicitor
report. In the meantime each President o
| Councils will appoint a committee to confe
with Mr.. ElphinstoDe and prepare the neces
sary bills to be presented TO the Legislature
| These bills will be submitted to Councils OIL
| Friday.

provide for the alternate biennial election of
one-half of the Council as contemplated by the
statute.
We may avoid this difficulty by division of
wards under powers committed to Councils by
the charter of 1870. A committee was some time
ago appointed for this purpose, and would
recommend that the committee proceed at
once to the discharge of its duties.
Whether our charter powers are superseded
by the act of 1874, providing for the submission
of the question of division Of wards to a pop
ular vote, is question which will take lmme-
diate steps to have settled by the courts. And
at the same time will have judIcially decided
the question as to whether the provision:
of charter, to the number of Sc
lect Councilmen, are repealed by the act of 1887.
propose to have this done as speedily as
possible. in order that there may be no uncer-
tainty as to the number of Councilmen to he
elected in February. Should the court deny
our power TO divide the wards under the act OF
1870 it will be necessary for us TO appeal to tile
next Legislature for relief, in order to secure
proper proportion between the two bodies OF
the local legislature.
Uniform Legislation Required.
1t has been said that the act of 1887 will not
repeal the charter of 1870. The constitution
requires uniformity of legislation for cities of
the same class, and it is fair to assume that the
legislation intended to obey the constitution,
and by the act of 1887 to repeal the local laws
SO far as they were Inconsistent Herewith or
repugEant thereto. This legislative intention
is expressed in the repeating clause in the act
In question. Our transit into the second class
will thus result in the repeal of the charter OF
1870, SO far as il conflicts with the act of 1857;
aud the city government must be organized
and conducted in accordance with the latter
act

Il DO not understand you, then. :" said Julius.
'Judging By Whist have heard from others and
l may add by your example, for although you
and are of the same age, you are still unmar-
ried. gather that you Christians have no con-
ties which You have already contracted, but you

perpetuation of the human race; and if the
earth were peopled with none but Christians
humanity would soon cease to exist e1-
claimed Julius, echoing an assertion which he
had heard many times before.
THAT is scarcely fair way OF stating the
facts, is it?'' replied Pamphilius, lit ia true
that we do not deliberately make it our aim to
perPetuate the human race, nor do we take the
matter so very much to heart, as l have often
heard it remarked by some of your wise men.
Our minds are set at rest on the subject by our
firm belief that our Father who vigiantly
watches over mankind. is mindful of all their
wants. It is our object to live in accordance with
His will. II He wills it that the human race
should subsist, He will likewise find the means
OF perpetuating 1t; if nct,~it will inevitably
come TO an end. That, however, is no care of
ours. our task IS the more modest one OF living
according to His will. His will is manifested
to us both In our own nature an the revelation
BE has vouchsafed to give US which says that
man shall cleave to his wife; and they twain
shall be one flesh. Marriage is not only not Tor
hidden by our laws but is directly encouraged
by our elders who are learned in the law.
The main difference between your
marriage and ours consists in the
revelation given to US from on high that every
lustful glance at women sinful, and the
practical results viii our belief has produced
and which may be summed up follows: We
and our women, instead OF leaving means
untried to dress finely and beautify ourselves
for the purpose Of kindling carnal desires in the
hearts of those who look upon US, direct all our
efforts to the Sitting of all such impure move
ments, SO that the sentiment of love among US,
as among brothers and sisters, should be strong
enough to outweigh the feeling for one woman
to which you give the name OF love-
IAN that is well and good,' remarked JUL
Jus, but surely you canpot stife the feeling of
pleasure and love that springs up within US
when we look upon the beautiful. Not to wan
der far afeld for an instant, am satisfied that

ders in the way of hiding her charms. kindles in
your breast the sentiment of love for women. -

ginal effects. For instance, you must
issue invitations for a diner 'automne,

leaves of the brightest hues obtaina Die.
Then, In the center of your table you
must place huge epergne, which you
must load down with fruit set off with
leaves, and at each of the four corners of
the table you must place a large silver
or china candelabrum, about the arms
of which trail white, black and
purple grapes. Festoons of these grapes
must reach to the cloth and end at the
base OF the epergne. No flowers must be
visible; all leaves and vines in the rich
tints SO plentiful in October and early

Louis paper. The plan is to use oil or
grease instead of soap TO prepare the
chin and soften the beard. Vaseline is
he most convenient, and it should be
rubbed in quite freely. Then with
keen razor shaving can be done
quickly and without suspicion of pain.
At first l couldn't reconcile myself to
doing without the orthodox lsther and
used soap after the vaseiine had been
applied. But the soap is really unnec-
essary. and shaving with oil or vassIine
is cleaner, as well as pleasanter, and
what is more to the poiRt, there is no ir-
ritation whatever to the skin.

Dian I you ever meet the Major (
Well, you are likely to encounter him
any fine afternoon, between four and
six, sauntering up Broadway, ogIing
pretty girls and hating now and then to
chat with some club man. The Major is
nothing if not superlative. The word
every must be used in describing him i.
He is very bald, very dignlfied, very de-
cided in his manner, very fond of stewed
terrapin, very much addicted to whist,
very particular with his dress, very de-
voted to his yonug wife and very near
sighted. But all that doesn t prevent
the Major from being capital old fell
low, one of the most popular men of
the New York club, where he
may be seen and interviewed early any
evening, for after dinner the major gives
himself up to his young wife, going to
the theater, opera, reception, or what
not. Sometimes, but rarely, the major
stays out late-not more than three times
year, however, then he is apt to
come home more near sighted than ever.
Strange TO say, when he has drunk a
little too much wine, the major becomes
as jealous as Turk. He imagines that
his young wife is IN love with every male
friend who visits the house, and trem bIes
when he sets out for home lest he find an
empty bed and note saying that she has
gone with younger man.
A few nights ago the major returned
from the club, to tell the honest truth,
in a state of unseemly intoxicstion-that
is. for him, for the major. He STUN bled
up stairs, bumped against the door,
struck against the sharp edge of the
table, rebounded, only to fetch up
against heavy dressing case. Here he
steadied himself aud reached for the gas.
The globe was covered by heavy shade,
so as to make the turning up of the gas
less likely to awaken the young wife.
Hence, as he turned the flame on, the
room was only dimly lighted. The ma
jor's firs motion was to give glance at
the bed, to see if the young wife was in
her accustomed place, for the wine cup,
as have said, transformed the major
from q trustful husband into a monster
of jealousy and suspicion.
uorrori What does he see?
A pair of black trousers are lying on
the bed. The cold Preparations beads
upon his forehead and his tongue feels
about for a bit of moisture. He looks
again, and still once more, but those
trousers are forever there. black as the
