elegant costumes OF the ladies and
excellent makeup OF the comedi-
ans, Mr.. Peters as Dutch Jake
and Mr.. Green in Larry Finni-
gan. These two were repeatedly
recalled and regular side spiitters.
The entire company is composed
of clever people IN their special
parts and not a ''stick' among
them.
! Miss Georgia Powers rs Finni-
gan's wife was exceptionally fine,
and caused many hearty laughs.
| Some of the specialties were the
De I've Sisters in thei.' buck and
wing dancing, which was perfect
in rhythm, and with fascinating
costumes. These pretty girls re-
ceived a hearty encore.

BOND ORDINANCE ADOPTED
The City Council Passes the Ordinance
Providing for $4,000 i'm Bonds
For an Electric Plant.

The city council met in special
adjourned session last night with
the following responses to roll
call: Livingston, Waterman, Pitt
man, Carmichael, Davis and Ben
jamin.
Mr. Benjamin as acting chair
man Of the judiciary committee
reported in regard to the bond or
dinance, which provides for the
purchase of an electric light
plant. he stated that the COM
mittee considered it advisable to
submit only the question of issu-
ing bonds for SIG, 900, the pro-
ceedS of which shall be to pur-
chase light plant aid to defer
the proposed issuing of additional
bonds for the redemption of scrip
until some future time. He
thought that to include both
questions in the same election
would complicate matters and
would not give the voters a fair
chance to vote on the question OF
an electric light plant. A motion
then prevailed that the ordinance
as prepared by the committee and
city attorney be placed on second
reading.
After the ordinance was read q
motion was made and carried that
it be Immediately placed on thirc
and final reading. A vote was
then taken on It's final passage
which resulted unanimously il
favor of it's passa ge and adoption
Mayor Bullock was present. anC
affixed his signature to the Ordi
nance.
The petition of DR.. Torrey foI
tax title was referred to th'
finance committee.
MIR. Benjamin made 4 state
ment in reference to The none,
that had been paid into the hand
Of the city treasurer. and recon-
mended that it be used in pawn:
for street Improvement as author
lzcd 10y law. He stated also tha
it would be q saving Of many dol
lars to the city if the street EN-
ployes were put to work on a cas-
basis and the treasurer instructe'
TO use this fund in caShing tn
scrip warrants. After some dis
cuSSiOn of the question d motto
by Mr.. Carmichael, in line wit
the recommendations, was cal
ried, and Street COMMISSIONS
DodSOn was instructed to emplo
his men at the old price, less tn
scrip discount. No further bus
ness council adjourned.

MISCELLANEOUS.
NEW YORK DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The dry goods mar
ket opened today with hopeful conditions
prevailing, although there is little tangible
improvement reported in any line, wooden
goods have still the best of the market and
are selling quite freely, chiefly through road
statesmen, although recorders by mail are OF
frequent occurrence. There are vague rumors
of increased business in staple cotton goods,
but it is not possible to run any of these
down and to say just when and where the
improvement has taken place. The reductions
in the prices of staple cottons, which, 1t was
rumored would take place last week, are
still deferred, but it is thought that when
these are made public a fair demand will be
recorded Dealings IN brown goods, both in
sheetings and shirtings and in wide and
standard shirtings both in brown and In
show no Improvement. There is not even
increased inquiry, although it is thought that
stocks are low in many trading centers
throughout the country. Bleached shirtings
tons in all grades are without feature.
