mayor, complains to the LIGHT that he
was quoted wrong in his remarks con-
corning the action of the council in re-
fusing to allow the Excelsior Guards the
use of the San Pedro Springs for dance.
Albert thinks the council should only
allow respectable people and societies to
use the Springs. Albert is a clever color
ed man who makes himself generally
useful during elections for his boss, but
he will find himself in hot water if he and
the city council think they can decide,
and pass judgment, upon the wheat and
chat of those visiting the Springs.

men were present., as well as citizens,
negroes, Mexicans and the represen.
tatives of the social evil The latter
were In hack. The police did not
know them. There were maids
of the kitchen, mon of the
world, mediums of communication
between, aud mothers ma ure and
otherwise The utmost peace and
harmony prevailed, even among the
little carp in the pond. who, with the
turtles, the CARS, the alligator and the
shad, had not been expurgated, ac-
cordlng to promises unkept.
