That BilI.

There is much comment about town con- corning the action of the bo ard of education in the suit brought against 1t by w. T. Att water & Co., for an unpaid bill for school supplies. The matter, it is urged, will now cost the city great deal more than it would have done to pay the whole amount of the balance of the firms bill, and great deal of unnecessary expense would have been saved to tho citY.

 yours at 25c. They're "Four-in-Hands" and "Tecks" in all the new Summer shades,
 A word for WHITE SH1RTs. Ours have got a reputation we're proud of. This lot unlaun- dered hand-fnished goods we're offering at soc is fully equal in material, cut and style to any of the former ones.
 Our Summer Outing Shirts" are made for us and we believe them to be better and more carefully finished than any ready made shirt in the market. Che viot, Domet, Madras, Trout brook Flannel, French Flannel, Silk Striped Flannel, Cream and White Flannel are some of the materials.
 Here's bargain lot of Ho- sIERY. Just 200 dog. of British super-stouts we're going to inn mortalize them at 12Hc a pair. You'll be told at other places PIC is below the market. That silk half hose, in all the new regular and cluster stripes, at 4oc a pair, has found its way ! to your hearts. Silk isn't going at the price of cotton always. :.
 Now, ladies, a moment in the Flannel Department. There's a case of Barlow & Jones' English Marseilles Quilts in eight or nine different patterns, both cen ters and allovers, at $2.5o each. You know whether another dol lar should be added to these or not.
 While you are there look at the pretty Summer Skirting" in all the new stripes and borders, 2H yards wide, at 35c the skirt. The colors are all warranted fast.
 German gardeners are ac- knowledged second to none. Stop at the NOTION counter and spend SC in a package of flower seeds, from Erfurt, Germany. "First-rate" is the verdict of all who've tried them. This sea sons seed and warranted true to name.
 Stop with the Handkerchiefs and examine our SC Irish Cam brio, Hemstitched and Embroi- dered in all four corners. That just reminds us. You ought to have seen the SC edition a lady brought us in the other day which she was assured was worth 12c. Poor quality, make-believe hem, and little sprinkle of em- broidery in one corner.
 You've seen the stir about the big Webster Dictionary we're selling for $1.o8. We won't claim it's as good as the high priced one the booksellers keep. We'll go further and say it's NOT. The difference in the price ($o and $1.e8) is however hard ly compensated for by the differ ence in text. At least the pur- chasers say so.
 If our ad. made you think it was identical in every page with the $o to SIP edition, bring it back and we'll return you the money. Misrepresentation isn't part of our business.

THE mARRTT FUND.

No Decision as Yes Whether the City
 Will Accept it or Not-A Meeting
 Monday.
 Councilman Richardson was not present at last nights meeting of the common councils committee on the Marett fund. Counoilmen Bromley and NcKiernan and Aldermen Dali ley, Callahan and Gessner were there, how- ever, but came to no decision in the matter.
 The principal topic of discussion at last nights meeting was whether or not . public or private hearing should be held in the matter. As is well known the city officials are undecided what to do with the bequests of $150,000 which the will of the late Mrs. Mar cit left to the city's indigent poor. One objection to accepting this large amount is the lack of any proper commission or body to care for it, It is also thought by some that it would be better to reject the gift and allow the money to be divided among the other bene6cisries named in the will. Among these are the hospital, the orphan asylum, Yale college and other prominent institutions of the city.
 The committee decided to hold another meeting next Monday afternoon at half past three o'clock. A final decision is then ex- pected.

Palgravc, in his work on Central and
Eastern Arabia, mentions a plant whose
seed produces effects analogous to those of
laughing gas. The plant is q native of
Arabia. A dwarf variety is foundin Kasum,
and another variety ut Oman, which ut
tains a height Of from three to our feet,
with woody stems, widc-spreading branches
and green foliage. The flowers are pro-
ducedin clusters and are yellow in color.
The seed pods contain two or three black
seeds of tho size and shape Of a French
bean. Their flavor is o little like that OF
opium, the taste is sweet n the odor from
them produces o siclkening sensation and is
slightly offensive. These seeds, when pull
verified and taken in small doses, operate
upon o person in o very peculiar manner.
He begins to laugh loudly and boisterously
and then sings, dances and cuts up all kinds
Of fantastic capcrs. The effect continues
about an hour, and tho patient is extremely
comical. When tho excitement ceases the
exhausted individual falls into a deud sleep
which continues for an hour or more, and
when he awakcns he is utterly unconscious
that any such demonstrations have been
made By him.
