the presentation to which Mayor
Harrison replied briefly.
~
Aid. Noble will, at Monday nights
meeting of the Council, present an
ordinance repeating the ordinance
establishing the Bureau of Street
and Alley Cleaning. He will ask
that it be referred TO the Judiciary
Committee, and will suggest that the
city officials appear before that COM
mittee and give reasons, If there are
any, why the bureau should exist.
Aid. Noble says that under the new
bureau the streets in his ward have
not been cleaned at all and that the
Mayor has let the entire work of
| cleaning the streets to a private con-
tractor and yet keeps the large force
| of men at work in the new bureau
doing nothing but drawing their sal
aries. Aid. Mobiles position is in
dorsed by many of the Aldermen
Nv
Senator Edward T. Noonan will be
nominated Tor Congress in his dis
trict to certainty. 1t is conceded
on all hands that he will wrest the
nomination from Durborow.

1t appears that Judge Scales is not
going to appoint eX-Ald. Brookman
Election Commissioner after all. He
told some men who called on him {
few days ago in the interest of Mr.
| Brookman that he would not appoint
any one as long as Schweisthal il
sick. When the latter recovers ht
; will accept his resignation and ap
point a man named George Schmidt

Gossip About the Various Po-
iticaI Camps and
Politicians.

The battle royal TO be 1OugnU next
year is already engrossing the atten-
tion of the politicians. Twelve State
Senators and forty-fve Representa-
tives are to be elected; also County
Treasurer, County Clerk, Probate
Clerk, Criminal Court Clerk, County
and Probate Judges, six Congress-
men. fifteen County Commissioners
and host of other officers. A
United States senatorship will de-
pend upon the outcome, and the
battle all along the line promises to
be an interesting one.

Mr. Eugene Prayer, the popular
oil inspector under Mayor Harrison's

nomination.

appear to think that if Representa-

becomes law it will extend their tern

At Autumn Weddings.

sHigh corsages are preferred for bridal
dresses, especially at church weddings. The
front can be rounded low or cut square in
the neck. y low corsage may be worn at a
home wedding in the evening. 1t will be Il
compliment for the bride TO wear her we'd
1Itne dress at the wedding of n relation a
month after her own wedding. OF course
the orange flowers will be taken off and
merely lace or ribbon trimming used.
Gray brocade or violet satin will be hand
some for the dress OF the brides mother at
September wedding. Pale primrose yell
low dresses of glace surah or of taffeta silk
will be pretty for bridemaids' dresses in
September.
White satin Will be used for wedding
gowns in the autumn, with chiffon and
pearl galoon trimmings. y maid of honor
in November should wear white French
felt hat laden with white plumes. One little
flower girl is sufficient. Puce color and the
purplish red petunia, also dark green, will
be fashionable colors for brides silk dresses
this fall, says Uarper's Bazaar.

Rainy Day Dress.

The long rain cloak Is considered by many
ladies distinctly mistake, az it clinSs
round the legs, making petticoats and
stockings muddy and sopping. The mack.
intosh is very hot. In place of either Of
these not q few women adopt an entire
rainy day dress. Have = short lined skirt
of course blue or black serge and turn 1t up
with leather. The skirt should not be too
fIII and wear with this Il single breasted
Jacket. with collar which will turn up or
down as required. Good strong boots, gait
srs and n hat TO match costume, or plain
sailor. will complete most sensible and
pretty rain dress. You will always be per-
tectly dry and avoid the hideous appear
.,rlce OF the ordinary woman in the rain.
