| Wednesday was sort of holiday in
this city. The business houses generally
closed on account of the Mills meetings.
They did not, however, close all at one
time, some putting up their shutters in
the morning and some in the afternoon,
so that the general appearance of the city
was not at all that of Sunday. Tue
Mills meetings we're augmented some
what by the closing of the stores and the
! release of the employees for religious re-
taxation, but the increase did not show
that all of the released employees went to
the meetings. Three meetings were held
in the exposition building, morning, at
ternoon and evening, besides the prepar-
atory prayer meetings at $50 in all the
churches which have joined the revival
movement. The attendance at the morn
ing meeting in the exposition building
was between 5000 and 1000. In the af-
ternoon it was larger, part of the gallery
being occupied. In the evening the
building was crowded to it's seating
capacity.
The common council placed itself on
record Thursday night as favoring the
laboring man. It was brought about
through Aid. Rand's eight-bour-a-day
resolution. Two reports, a majority and
minority, were returned from the special
labor committee. The former recon-
mended that the report be laid on the
table and the minority that the resolu-
ton be adopted and the city laborers be
placed on the eight-hour schedule, with
Sl.75 as the minimum days wages. The
minority report was adopted by the
council. The original Rand resolution
was then passed, and hereafter the city
laborers will be obliged to work but
eight hours day. The only aldermen
who voted against it were loye, Elan
ders and Currier. The report of the
standing committee on water works
caused considerable interest. The report
contained the list of nsw appointments
for the water department, making six
changes in all. The more important of
these We're: Jack Mcdonnell, surervi-
sor, who was superseded by Chief Eogi
neer Bergstrom, of the North side sta
ton, and Meter Inspector Allen, who was
superseded by George Horton. Follow
is the list: T. r. Moody, registrar; D. G.
Brown, cashier; G. J. La Grave, book
keeper; F. l.. Gowan, clerk; J. w. Phil
lips, Inspector; Samuel Clark, inspector;

The board of directors of the carnival
association held it's first working meet
ing at the West hotel last Monday even

this great sporting event. President w
| E. Steele, of the Lurline Boat club, was
anxious that steps be taken at once tc
secure the Oxford crew to compete with

spared in securing these crews, and w
E. Steele will go East at once, and, afte1
meeting F. n Peavey, who is new in the

these and other crews. A letter was reae
from the Ottawa Athletic club stating
the club would send two Lacrosse teams
to the carnival, probably in the latter
