EMBARRASSED BY A SIGN.
Two Expectant Ruralists Abruptly End
Their Sightseeing.

Two Expectant Ruralists Abruptly End
Their Sightseeing.
Last evening pair of lovers stood on
the corner Of Campau square gazing up
at the stereopticon transparency that
shines each night OH the block across
the way. That they were lovers was
apparent by the sympathetic manner
OF the girl IN leaning heavily against
her escort. One of her hands was in
his overcoat pocket and her cheek
almost touched his shoulder. They
were the typical John and Mary out
sparkling. He had nOtcea bly, clean
shave and her hair had been in curling
papers all day. Such simple persons
will stand ON the corner for an hour at
q time and gain delight from study
of the transparency with Its xdvertls--
ments for tailors and shirtmakers.
Possibly the man who was working the
machine last evening was aware that a
John and Mary were down on the cor.
ner. At all events he flashed over the
canvas . series of advertisements that
appealed to that class of individuals.
"We'll need furniture. John; let's go
down TO that place." said Mary, as the
man shot out the name of furniture
dealer.
"Well, wonder if could get to my
work at half past if we went out
to that place to live," said John, as
the slide showed an announcement from
q real estate agent advising every one
to own house 1T next TO nothing y
year.
"Oh, want . canary bird the first
thing" went on Mary, when the
canvas displayed the advertisement OF
a man that sold bird cages.
just then the transparency changed
to rather confusing sign, "Buy your
baby carriages at Blank & Co.'S" The
lovers moved on. For a block or so they
did not speak. Finally Mary said
"Where 10 Blank & Co.'S"

COUNCIL COMMITTEES.
What Was Done by Aldermen at Last
Nights Meeting.


A score of property owners living on
West Fulton street. near John Ball
park, appeared before the council com.
mittee on streets last night to present
their views on the West Fulton street
extension scheme.
Charles Schmidt. q member OF the
firm OF Schmidt Bros, said: 1--WE
consider that 1t would be- of great bene-
At to us TO have the street extended
beyond the east line of the park through
TO the city limits. think 1t would not
injure the park in the least 70 cut the
road through it. The neighbors near
me think the country around there
ought 10 be opened up"
r. w. Buttertield said: 1--WE want
West Fulton street to become a good
business street, but we want it to be.
como 90 without damage either TO the
city's or our own property. l believe
that the majority in our neIghborhood
feel that it would injure the property
of nearly everyone along the street II
the grade was established as now pro-
lected. IL would give strangers the
idea that our property lay in a swamp"
The committee on streets will probably
hold another meeting this morning and
discuss the question further.
The committee on ways and means
talked over the numerous requests
from the city officials for extra clerical
help, horses and huggies, etc, during
the not weather. TIE committee de.
cided to report adversely on all such
requests and shut down on the system
entirely.
Alderman Frost said that he would
introduce a resolution st the next
meeting OF the council to the effect
that the city appropriate sl25 for the
purchase OF an apparatus for testing
electric street lamps. The matter
il now in the hands of the committee
on claims and accounts. The commit
tee on lamps is anxious to have an.
other test by some other electrical al.
tnority. The chairman of the CEN.
nlttee will write 20 Detroit to ascer.
tain the test IN use there.
The SPECIAL committee on market
site decided TO report adversely on the
proposition to buy the Nelson. MstteI
