New York, July 29--The course OF the
general dry goods market to-day has been
quite IN line with recent experiences.
There has been a fair number Of b,i,-erS

scription, whilst mail orders for an lines
OF merchandise have been of an average

Business BY the Council at
It's Meeting Last Night.

The city council spent half hour
last night discussing why ex-City At
torney Tillotson has not made an ac-
counting of the money paid to him for
use to pay witnesses in the Decker
Mullins & Berry sewer case. The
amount paid was something over ST.
GOO
Claims for fees amounting to s1.103.5o
were presented last night and the ques-
ton was raised whether some Of the
fees had not already been paid.
City Attorney Bird made an ex-
animation of the records and I have
not been able to ascertain what fees
have or have not been paid. Mr.. Til
lOtsOn has made no accounting as he
was requested TO do by the council
Councilman Stevens-It seems to me
that he would not object to appearing
before this council to make an explain
alton.
Councilman Stephenson-If Mr.. Til
lotsOn does not make this accounting
am in favor of suing him When we
vote money to q city officer we want to
know what he does with it. I think We
have the right to know and I do not
understand why Mr.. Tiuotson viii not
do it,
Mayor Fellows think Judge Hazen
decided that question about suing MI
Mr. Bird-Yes, when Mr.. Tillotson
sued me for SIG in the district court I
set up as a counter claim the amount
paid to Mr. TilOtson on account of this
suit which was over $1,000 and Judge
Hazen said if we voluntarily paid him
the money by ordinance there was no
way to get it back
Councilman Elliott was a witness
and Mr. TillOtson paid me.
Mr.. Bird-Your name is on this bill
for SD fees which have not been paid
Councilman Eliott-Well I have been
paid and I do not ask to be paid
again.
Councilman Nettels-If one mistake
is made there may be others
Councilman Burgess-AIr TillOtson
ought TO appear before this council
and explain this matter
The bills then went over for one
week to enable the council to make
another attempt to secure an account
ing from Mr.. Tillotson.

OVERMYER ON DIVORCE.
Why There is So Much Of Tt
Nowadays.
TmprOvident Marriages One
Great Cause of Divorce.
How David Overmyer Would Deal
With Foolish Young Couples if
Re We're Upon the Bench

eff were a judge in a court Of equi-
ty I would never grant a divorce for
mere trivialities- DO away with 1T; do
away with this extreme cruelty posn
why. lit is becoming a joke i'm the pro-
fession that man has to get a little
striking into his divorce cases in order
TO get the decrees
This is what Lawyer David Overmyer
says about divorces He probably sets
as many divorces for people as any
body, but his honest opinion of the
practice is not always what he urges
upon the court in discharging his duty
TO his client.
I'll have NO sympathy with the new
woman" he says .I have seen the
operations of the divorce court Tor
years. I say to you that most of these
suits are brought 10y young women who
marry young men who have no means,
and whom they know have no means
but who dc not realize what it is They
know their husband has nothing to de-
pend on but his labor. but they don't
know what that means They are not
prepared for married life. Soon they
begin to want things their husband can
not AFFORD 70 BUY Then the trouble
begins. They see other women have
certain things, and don't see why they
shouldn't have them also. They want
to hy high.
Does every petty quarrel have to be
stretched into a ifelong feud2 Must
arms De taken UP over little u11SuuQel-
standings NO. sir. If i were on the
bench I should never grant divorces
except for most excellent reasons But
I would lecture them. Z should say,
Take that little child and so back
home and overlook your dispute Shame
upon YOU for coming here To fight over
your own flesh and blood. Return to
your home and take care of that lit
tie child BE somebody And yet they
say T have mo religion
IF I had the power divorce would
be granted for but one or two causes
I might grant separation for others,
but not divorce Where one person is
in danger of bodily harm. for instance.
they might be separated This would
not be where a husband or wife had
playfully slapped or struck the other,
and years afterward they brought it
up and called it an angry blow 1T
must needs be for actual damage or
danger
Talk about the new woman Why,
there is nothing new about her 1T
is the same manifestation that every
nation has experienced at the same
state Of advancement Oh, this divorce
business is demoraHzing They are
so anxious to set divorces because they
want TO get married again"

address he said

LAMPS Will BURN.
The Suburbs VIII Be Lighted But
Electric Lights VIII Be
Turned Out

Councilman Nettels of the Third ward
won his fight to keep the gasoline
lamps in the suburbs lighted during
the next ten days when the new cleo
plant.
A resolution by Councilman Drew
was adopted to cut off the electric
lights until the changes are made and
then Councilman Nettels sprung his
resolution to continue the use of the
gasoline lamps
Councilman Nettels said in supDort
OF his resolution: Il beg YOU in the
name of the people of the Third ward
TO not discontinue the use of those
lights now. We are very thankful for
them and assure you they are ap-
preciated- We did without lights when
the rest of the city was lighted with
electric lights and now you have an
opportunity to reciprOcate."
Councilman DreW-This is a question
OF economy. If we can do without
lights IN the city proper they can
surely DO without where the gasoline
lamps have been used. We might keen
the electric lights burning, but that
would necessitate the employment of
extra men to put UP the poles and
line.
Councilman Roundtree-I believe the
people in my ward are willing to do
without lights for a little while if thew
know they are to get new electric
Councilman Warner-These little
lights are a great help to us out
where we have few street crOssi n as
and q great deal of mud you cannot
imagine how much good these little
lamps do
Mayor Fellows-I think these lights
should be allowed to burn ten davs AT
least Then it viii be moonlight.
Councilman Skinner THOUGHT fha
lights should be continued and Coun-
clmen PattisOn and Elliott that they
should be cut off in the interest Of
economy.
The proposition to allow the lights
to burn for ten days was carried-
