Some of the equipages of the nobility

1t is doubtful if any other city in the

many of its public buildings are most i'm

of the day and night, and nothing i'm

mania OF the people tor smoking cigar
cites. They are smoked on the streets, in
the shops-ln fact, eyerywhere-by army
officers, clerks, policemen, car conductors

women in the privacy of their homes. If
the inhalation of cigarette smoke is ter

doubtedly is, why need we look further

Many little shops scattered over the city

The people, as nation, live poorly, the

Referring to some centuries before the
Christian era, Spanish history tells us that
when any individual was afflicted with a
serious disease he was seated on public
thoroughfare "that the passer-by might
have pity on him, and bring with hin,
such remedies as had been proved efica-
cious in similar cases" This ancient Gus
tom doubtless accounts for the frighiful
specimens of wrecked humanity to be
seen in Madrid to-day. 1t is not unusual

was booked at the City Prison ON the
charge of petty larceny. He gave his

He was first observed on the ground

pairs of socks, which he secreted under

eral, entertainments are usually divided
into three or four funciones, or parts, for
each of which latter separate ticket is re-
quired. It is possible therefore to see a
single act of play, or portion of an enter
tainment, at very small cost. The pee-
PIE generally being much addicted to late
hours and an irregular manner of iv-
ing, thousands purchase tickets simply for
the last part of an entertainment-lastin
from say IL P. M. until midnight. The
caZuela. or upper gallery, is for women
only.
In view of this latter fact many readers
will doubtless agree that Paradise" the
name applied to that gallery in France,

The Grand Army Post Making Arrange.
ments for It's Observance.

The day on which the soldier dead
is honored is approaching and the
Grand Army post has commenced their
arrangements for a proper. observance
of the day. May 80 comes on Sunday
this year and by general order from
the state department Decoration Day
services will be held on Saturday, the
29th. Memorial services will be held
on the preceding Sunday, probably in
the Methodist church, and the address
will be delivered by Rev. A. G. Stew
ems.
On Decoration Day the committee
has secured the services of Geo. A.
silsby OF this oity, who will deliver
the address on this occasion. For the
past seven years Mr.. Silsby has always
been in demand as speaker and has
complied with the outside requests, and
even this pear two posts were anxious
to have Mr.. Silsby deliver an address
but his home post strongly urged him
to remain in Mitchell and speak to the
old soldiers. That Mr.. Silsby has &C
ceded to their request and will deliver
the address will be welcomenews to all.

THE CHANGE TAKES PLACE.

The Old Aldermen Retire and the New
Ones Enter Upon Their Duties,
When the members OF the old citv
council met together Monday evening
Mayor Fullerton called them to order
for the last time and there were pres
ent Aldermen Pollard, Indra, Simp-
son, Levinger, Nelson, Bracy and
Johnston. Auditor Smith read the min
utes of the regular and several special
meetings which were approved. The
license ordinance was placed on its
final reading and on motion of Aid.
Levinger, seconded by Aid. Johnston,
was adopted as read. The ordinance
was drawn on the lines of the state law
and requires license of 5000 per year
to be paid to the city, one-half of which
shall be paid semi-annually. Justice
Abbey made his usual monthly report,
but had only case of drunk and
disorderly. City Treasurer Kibbee's
report was referred to the finance COM
mittee, owing to the limited time of the
committee for action at the meeting.
The coal bids were taken up again, the
council having waited several weeks to
investigate one of the bids. The prop
osition Of the Wilmington Coal Co.,
which offered to put the coal in the bin
at the water works for one year at 81 so
per ton, was accepted. By this con-
tract it is figured. that the city will
save between S75 and S1OO per year.
The bills against the city, which had
previously been audited, we're read and

large at this time, as the mayor and
aldermen drew their salaries, the cleo.
