The petition of J. NJ. Davies to have the
sum OF SAL refunded because he is not
benefited in the matter of certain improve
ments made upon his property on the
corner OF Sand street and h 18th Broad
way, was the first thing taken up at the
afternoon session.

MED.

The ordinance regulating the sale Of in
toxicating liquors in restaurants was re-
pealed. Under the provisions of the new
ordinance yesterday passed upon the sub

with the regular Sunday saloon closing
ordinance, and gave ample opportunity
for violation of the same. C,ty Clerk
Luckenbac told the council that the res.
taurant licenses nun bered about fifty, all
told, two-thirds of them being taken out
by regular saloon keepers.

the Ministerial union being anxious to
learn why it was that the board of police
commissioners had not obeyed the man.
date of the council in abating the evil
complained of entirely, instead OF adopt
ing the alleged make-shift of wall up
and down in the infested district. Mr..
knighten thought it strange that. the
instructions OF the council had not been
needed to the letter. The statements of
the ministerial visitors brought the coun-
Gil to realization of the fact that no
report has as yet been officially received
from the police commission on the sub
iect. President Teed thought that the
board fences which have been erected are
not an abatement of the nuisance. al
though he was free to confess that so far
as he was himself concerned the new
plague spot was to be preferred to the old
when the fearful vice was SO fragrant as
to be disgrace upon the fair fame of
the city. The matter was still suspended
in the air when the council adjourned.

Duo to His Appearance.

A rather good story about the Duko of Westminster is now going the rounds, This enormously wealthy peer never did take great deal of interest in the cut of his garments, and it was never a matter of much con oern to him whether he wore a threadbare and glossy coat or brand new one. Consequently it was not sur prising that a lynx eyed policeman who had been detailed to duty in the grounds of MT. Gladstone's country seat, Hawar- den, at the time of the threatened dyna- mite plots, should have bounced upon a shabbily dressed individual whom he caught wandering apparently aimlessly about the grounds.
 In an aggressive tone the "bobby" de- manded to know tho strangers business. 'I'm friend of MT. Gladstone-I m I'm the Duke of Westminster, ' stammer- cd tho astonished man. "Come along with me, will you," chuckled the police man, husting bis captive of to the house, hsRnd tell that tale up wonder"
 1H The Grand Old Man happened to pass by, and catching sight of the duke ordered his immediate release, when the crestfallen policeman who was too much abashed to make even an attempt at apology, slunk of, leaving his grace of Westminster in a by no means amiable frame of mind.- Chicago Record.

II awaken full of thee," he wrote. "Thy portrait and yester eve's in toxicating charm have left my senses no repeses Sweet and cmatchless Josephine, how strange your influence upon my heart!

She Was Up on the Subject.

That the representatives of tho weaker sex never reach conclusion by reasoning, but by intuition, was well Illustrated few days ago in one of tho high schools.
 The professor of natural philosophy had just completed lecture on the Forces of Cohesion and Adhesion" He had been extremely careful to explain the difference between the two, and in order to test the knowledge of the class upon the subject he asked demure young lady or the front seat:
 Miss Blank, whom you powder your face, what is it that keeps the powder in placef What keeps 1t from falling offp'
