1t Invaded the Reception Given by
Senator Perkins.
One OF the most remarkable numbers on
programme at Senator Perkins recent
reception to the members of the Starr
King fraternity was song that highly
praised a certain article of food After
the song it was announced that the COM
poser of the piece, who was also interested
in the staple commodity about which he
sang, had offered to pay 500 to any
charity that might be named if the privi-
lege were accorded him of singing the
song at the Starr King reception.
The offer of S1O0 robbed the affair of
some of its Objectionable features, and
some interest was manifested as to which
OF the several local charities would receive
tue gratuity. Yesterday all anxiety was
set at rest by the receipt by Mrs. Sanford
of the Humane Society OF check for the
promised amount, to be used in furthering
the objects of that association.

Relic of the Oakland Home.
The Milwaukee Mechanics Insurance

Deadlock on the Tax Levy.
The City Council met tonight and talked
for three hours about the tax levy and the
expenditures of the various departments,
but every vote was seven to four and as
the TOUR we're on the side of the Mayor
none OF his proposed reductions were
adopted. The Mayor has stated that he
will sign no ordinance for greater amount
than 81, and the Council will not reduce
from 81 49, so when the ordinance is sent
to him after its final passage there will be
a deadlock.
Language of Prayers.
Rabbi Friedlander is endeavoring to in
troduce the English language into the
services of the First Hebrew congregation,
but there is opposition to it on the part
OF some OF the older element in the con-

offered in the language of their fathers.
Rabbi Friedlander thinks that if the
prayers were rendered in English it would
result IN an increased devotion
