Provisions of the New Ordinance.

The revised city ordinances are now
ready To be considered by the two
branches Of the city Council. Each body
will have 20 act upon them separately.
and il is said that several changes VIII

Treasurer and a clerk TO the city Audl-
tor is taken away from the Councii anu
vested i'm these officials TO appoint sucn
s1bordinates. These appointments. now

rbe proposed change has been the SUD-

argued by those who advocate the change
,bat the Auditor and Treasurer. being re-
snonsible for the conduct OF their oiices,

The ConI Contract stands.

A called meeting of the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings was held in Room
No. OF the city Hall yesterday afternoon
10 consider a communication from Mr..
Warner Moore. who comp aimed that he
had not been fairly treated. inasmuch as
the contract for furnishing lump or screen
cd coal during the next twelve months
had been given to Messrs. :. II. Halves q
Co, who were not the lowest bidders.
II was stated during the meeting that
the coal known as screened coal con-
tanned a great deal of slack. while the
coal to be furnished by Messrs Halves &
90. was to be perfectly clean.
on motion OF Mr.. Bake, the committee
decided not 10 reopen the matter mas
much as the contract had been awarded
and signed.

CRAZE FOR TATTOOING.
There Are Still People Who Have
Their Bodies DisGgured.

From the New York Press.
do you meet tattooed men in your prac-
tice often?' a physician was asked.
Frequently" he replied. "Only the other
day a man who was remarkab bly, decorated
came to me to be treated. His right arm
was encircled by a serpent in red, the head
on his wrist and the tail on his shoulder; on
the left arm was crocodile, also in red,
and surmounted by patches of diamond
shape and in three colors. On his breast
were three figures executing a dance. The
work itself was well done and the colors
bright. He said it was done on the coast
of Africa and attended by great ceremonies,
and he had become a great man in the
tribe. But such elaborate tattooing one
seldom meets, and then only on sailors.
Small designs are common
Ned Thomas, who claims to be the old
est tattooer in the city, said: Il learned on
board of man-of-war and began business
in this city at 50 Oak street in 1S47, and
have been at it ever since. / find plenty of
people who want to be tattooed. Not a
great many sailors come to me, but lots of
other people. l use simple designs. l have
tattooed several men and women all over.
1 remember two of the women were for
Robinson's circus. Masonic emblems are
popular; next come flags and shields. An
Irishman will want, probably, harp, or,
perhaps, an anchor. An EnSlishman, a
ship, or, maybe. a crown. butcher may
want a pigs head or a chicken, and a
baker, sometimes a flour barrel or a loaf
of bread. The goddess Of liberty, sitting on
an eagles back and holding in her hands
the national shield and the flag, is quite the
rage.
Il charge by the piece" said Mr.. Thomas.
For an anchor eagle or crown, % cents;
for heart with the hands clasped across it,
from 10 cents to s1.25, according to the
amount of fine work required; for the god
of 1ihprfV 10 M to 81. for the two
women I tattooed for Robinson 1 got So;
