THE PoLIoE AND FIRE UNIFORMS
The Contract for Both Awarded to
II. III. Levy & nro.

KEFW.
The contract for furnishing the summer
uniforms for the firemen was awarded
to b. II. Levy & Bro. by the fire
committee yesterday afternoon. The con-
tract price is sl,517.7T. Messrs. Levy &
Bro. are in luck, as they also secured the
contract for furnishing the police with
summer uniforms. The contract price for
the latter is 81, $50. II will be noticed thar
there is difference of over $500 in the
contracts for uniforming the two depart
ments, and besides 1t must be taken into
consideration that the police department
has ten or twelve more men than the
fire department The only explanation is
that the fire committee was more exact
ing in its requirements, naming a par
ticular grade of cloth, the Metropolitan.
from which the uniforms should be con-
structed.

Discussed Flag Law.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Aug. l9-It having
been given out that Assistant Attorney
General Newell had given an opinion that
the new flag law passed by the last legls-
lature was unconstitutional Mr.. Newell
was asked about tho matter and said !:
1.-THE house bill makes no attempt to re-
quire flags to be placed upon parochial
schools, but think tho senate does, and
it was evidently the intention of the
trainers of the bill to include at least
the use of the term sectarian or private
educational institutions of any descrip.
ton, and other like terms would seem to
indicate such n purpose.
"But doubt very much il by proper
construction of the statute it can be
carried so far; or in other words, I doubt
if religious denominations can be com.

Saturday showed general Endorsement
Of Ex-Governor james L. Campbell for the

He stated most emphatically that he could
not and would not accept the nomination

siid candidiy that his only reason for de-
Ginning was his present financial condi-
ion, which was such as to make it impos-
siblc Tor him to devote his time to politics.

friends have secured large supply of
Autograph pictures OF him and badges,
and mean to nominate him. They say
hey Will see that all his expenses are
