The Council Committee on Claims was
called to meet last evening. for the pur-
pose of considering several matters of inn

Another and still more important mat

gentlemen of the old Board were present.
last evening. for the purpose of bringing

and Council to have the city defend these
suits through the City Solicitor as the
matters leading up to the litigation grew
out of official action by the members Of
the Board and not in their individual

A wrong impression prevails among

Max Gamble bought at Nashville. Such
is not the case The Argand is fixture

Courier Will run between Pittsburgh
and Petersburg, probably taking up
the old Achedule Of the Argand when
it. ran TO Pittsburg. Nothing has been

in marking the harbor line from the

now at work along about FOrtieth

probably refrain from this practice as
they will be liable to arrest by the

MAY BE REPRODUCED.

Many requests have been made for
the reproduction Of "Innistail." the
Irish drama which was so successfully
given at the Carroll Club Auditorium.
by the A. o. II. last Wednesday night
for the benefit Of the new Cathedral
parish school. The house was over.
taxed, and if it contained four or fva
hundred more seats they would all have
been sold. Three hundred people
stood mp. occupying an the available
space. and many more could not gain
admittance. The most c0mmendabla
feature about the entertainment was
that they only had three weeks timd
to work in, and great credit it due Miss
A. Lima IIennig who so magnifcent-
ly drilled the characters In such a short
time. The committee has been guar
anteed another full house if it is re-

THE POORMAN MEETING.
The Eloquent Bellaire Orator VIII Fire the
Opening Gun OF the Campaign on Next
Saturday Night at Bimetallic Hall.

Saturday Night at Timetable Hall.
The executive committee of the BIZ
metallic Club are making arrangements
for the Poorman meeting to be held
next Saturday night at Bimetallic Hall,
corner Fourteenth and Market streets.
On that occasion the club will fire its
first gun in the campaign Of education
which it has undertaken, and Tous-
ing meeting is expected. The club
does not believe in the old idea Of
waiting until nominations are made
and campaigns formally opened before
a discussion of questions should take
place which vitality affect the Amer
lean people. The opinion is that peo-
pie viii reason with more soberness
and come to better conclusion when
their minds are not stirred up by the
state of political prejudice and animOs-
tiles that exist during the ordinary
campaign. Col. Poorman, of Bellaire,
will deliver an address upon the fin
ancial question, and he Will deliver
strong, non-partisan and patriotic ap-
peal to all voters TO consider their own
interests regardless of politics. Col.
Poorman has been a prominent mem
Der Of the Republican party, but left
his old associations last fall TO advo-
cate the cause Of bimetallism. This he
did with considerable logic and elo-
quence, as he is capable of delivering
a convincing speech and rousing much
enthusiasm. Every person, regardless
of party affiliations, is cordially invited
to hear Col. Poorman next Saturday
night. No admission will be charged.

TAILOR'S WOES.
\ Tailor Charges a Brother Member of the
Profession with Robbery

Profession with Robbery.
Yesterday Constable Steve Wilcox
searched the premises of Louis Nett
man at No. 3712 McCOlloch street, for
stolen property The search was made
upon a warrant secured from Squire
Rogers by G. A. Goecke. Goecke and
Neitman are engaged in the tailoring
business, and Goecke charged Neitman
with stealing several knives and pairs
of scissors. Constable Wilcox found a
pair of shears, which Goecke immedi-
ately claimed as his property. Al
though the shears looked to be compar-
atively new, Neitman claimed that they
had been presented to him by his
brother-in-law in Germany ten years
ago The justice did not believe this
story and fined Neitman $40 and costs.
In view of the poverty Of the defendant
the Justice RENTED the fine after the
defendant had paid the costs Of the
case.

WAR ON VIVISECTION.
Friends and Enemies of the Prac-
tice Are Clashing.
The United States Senate Besieged
by COntending FactiOns-Emi-
nent Ants Making II Wig
0rOus Fight.

One of the hardest fights of the CEN
fury between the advocates of vivisec-
ton on the one side and its opponents
on the other has been going on in the
United States senate committee on the
District of Columbia for two years, and
at present the ants are in the lead.
The bill introduced by Senator AIcNil-
Ian restricting yivisection in the Dis
trict has been reported faVorably by the
committee. What the result of the con-
test in the house of representhiveswill
he remains TO be seen.
The Mcmillan bill, after providing
that any person taking part in expert
ments calculated to give pain shall for
the first otfense be punished by a fine
of $3.50, and for the second offense fine
of $500 and with imprisonment for six
months, makes stringent provisions
under which vivisection can be carried
on.
There are to be regular inspections of
the places where the experiments are
held. and the president is required to
appoint the inspection officers.
Thetestimony taken by the committee
fills a large printed book of nearly 200
pages. Arguments for and against the
measure were made by some of the
leading physicians, lawyers and public
men of the country. Reports from for
eign scientists and results of expert
ments also were filed with the commit
tee. Petitions containing the names Of
scores of men and women of national
prominence were filed in favor of the
act, while memorials and resolutions
from dozens of medical societies and
medical men were presented in oppo-
sition to it.
Gen. and Mrs. Miles, Bishop Henry Y.
Satterlee, Mrs. U. S. Grant, Justices
Harlan, Brown, Brewer, White and
Peckham, of the United States supreme
court; Comptroller Eekels, MOntgom-
cry Blair, Rev. DIR. Dix, the late Bishop
Phillips Brooks and half a hundred ply
sicians were among those who sub
scribed to the bill.
These statements from the point Of
view of those who favor vivisection told
of the wonderful achievements result
ant from the practice and the extent to
which mankind had been benefited by
them.
One of the most persistent forces OPP
Grating against vivisection is the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. John P. Haines, superintend-
cnt of the society, took leading part
in the fight for the bill. He said to a
reporter for the World:
Il am opposed to vivsection because
do not think it right to torture living
animals. especially when the results
produced are of so doubtful nature.
I maintain that all needless expert
ments on living animals ought to be
prohibited; that the use of living ami
mails by students for the purpose of
acquiring surgical dexterity is unnec-
essary. The repetition of experiments
before classes of students for the mere
purpose of demonstration is likewise
useless and ought to be prohibited.
The use of anaesthetics ought to be
required in every case in which they can
be applied."-N. Y. World.

fairer-skinned co1ored women have al
ways been noted as the possessors of
heads of beautiful straight hair. The
duskier-hued are not so well off in this
worlds hair goods. But where nature
failed them they sought the aid, with
varying success, of hair-straightening
devices of all sorts and wigs. The soft,
fluffy hair that is always bent on kink-
ing at the most inopportune moments
could not, under these circumstances,
be expected to hold its own, and
it didn't. This is the reason why the
popular mind, which had always been
taught that kinks and dusky hues went
hand in hand, stood bewildered when
the STRAIGHTFORWARD colored society
woman swept by it with conscious toss
of her oft-times shapely head.
Then it was that the learned profess
sors of anthropology began to descant
upon the race changes that were taking
place in America and upon what would
be the ultimate effect on the Anglo
Saxon if the matter was not looked into
at once and steps taken to avert what
was certain to develop into great dis
aster. In the meantime the innocent
cause of all this hubbub went on her
way in evident enjoyment of the pos
session of her new-found glory. The
patentees of hair-straightening devices.
oils, pomades and soaps found much
difficulty in supplying the demand for
their goods. Where the subjects heads
were particularly stubborn to treat
ment place was made for the use of
wigs.
But no sooner did straight hair be-
come a common commodity of head
wear than the white society BELLE be-
gan to see beauty in the Kaflir fash
ion of wearing hair stril1ingly attract
i've. Fluffy hair and strengthening or
naments became the rage" and excited
the admiration and the wonder of all
who had the fortune to see them. At
first this did not cut any large blocks
of ice in the fashion calculations of
her dusky prototype, who continued to
her kinks in the blind belief
that she was very much in it. Then
came the that" ordinance. Colored So
ciety women who went to see Mrs. Car
ter keep the curfew from ringing be-
came painfully conscious of the fact
that straight hair was no longer the
only pebble that told fairy tales to the
sad sea waves. Woman's weakness to
be in the swim took firmer hold of
her, and with her soul full to overflow
ing she resolved to go back to kinks and
fuffs. Tears came to her eyes, she gazed
long and lovingly at the devices, oils,
pomades and soaps, but Dame Fashion
had decreed that they must go, and they
were put up on the highest closet shelf
the bandannas and ginghams of
her grandmother. And thus ends an
other chapter in the history of nations.

"In the sweetest associations of the

Weary after the mornings march, the

"At the stateliest imperial banquet
the saucisson is not disdained. At the

his capacious pocket, the canoeist in his

CONTENT WITH THEIR KINKS
Hat Ordinance Removes Old-Time
Prejudice of Colored Women.


The colored society belle has placed
the fat of her disapproval on straight
hair and wigs. The that" ordinance is,
in the main, responsible for this revul-
sion of feeling against fashion of
long standing. Wigs, however, have
not stood in, high favor for some time
in select colored society circles. Col
ored society women are no different
from their type the world over, and
the frequency with which wigs are seen
in the 'levee" district made it impos-
sible for that style of headwear to re-
main in vogue among colored women Of
social distinction
Straight hair did not fall under the
ban of popular disfavor until after the
that" ordinance went into effect. The
