Fourteen Nice Little Feet.

The great Importance of children
being properly shod has been fully
recognized by the German emperor
and empress, who have been most
particular that their children should
only wear hygienic boots and shoes,
sufficiently wide for the toes to have
proper development, and III conse-
quence the six young princes and
their sisoer have perfectly normal
feet and will therefore be spared the
suffering from corns, bunions and
faulty nails to which most of man
kind are subject.-Lady's Pictorial.

Speaking last night of the absurd
statements which have been made by a

up strife between the mayor and city
council, a councilman stated last night
that the members of the council have
only the kindliest of feelings toward
his honor. The vote by which Kendall
was dethroned was not an expression
Of the views of the members of the
council on the point raised by Lee
Grande Young and contested by Mayor
Baskin as a number of the councilmen
share the opinion of the mayor and
contend that the appointment creates
a vacancy in an appointive office. The
vote was taken for the purpose of dis
posing of the matter in hand and
thereby relieve the city of threatened
trouble. Kendall is said to have stated
that he would continue in the discharge
of the duties of the Office, regardless
of the appointment and hold the city
responsible for his salary In order to
leave no loop hole the members of the
council voted together and relieved
the recalcitrant inspector of the, Office.

during the debate on the line tax bill,
Count Posadowslzy, secretary-treasur-

would be levied on foreign wines which,
owing to their cheapness, seriously

Dill would be a protective measure to

yield but little, and the whole taxes

The grand testimonial concert tend
cred to Professor Radcliffe at the First
Congregational church last evening
was a great success from social,
musical and financial view. Three
hundred and fifty tickets were sold
and the net proceeds will be neat
sum. The audience was large and COM
posed of many of the representative
people of the city. The programme
was excellent, every performer receiv-
ling an enthusiastic encore.
Professor Radcliffe was accorded an
enthusiastic reception as he stepped
upon the platform, and after playing
his transcription of the overture to
william TELL was rewarded by
tumultuous applause. He played an
amusing combination of Hail Colunl-
bia" and Yankee Doodle as an en-
core. His second number consisted of
two parts, a gavotte, Iphigene en-
Aulide' by Gluck, and a gavotte by J..
S. Bach, Sixth Violin Sonata" They
were given in a masterful manner.
Exquisite as were the other selections
none were more appreciated than she

Iof "Lohengrin'' with the Bridal
Chorus" His second encore, an over
ture to ''Masanielo,' was a beautiful
number and beautifully rendered. The
professor added to his enviable reputa-
ton as an organist by his wonderful
playing last evening.
Mr.. W. c. Give made a decided
hit" His rendition of Musin's Cap

those who had never heard him. His
effort was rewarded by a storm of APP
plause, to which he responded with a

was not content with second appear
ance, but clamored for his return and
he was forced to play a second encore.

people of this city last summer.
