The council committee on ordnance
met last night and transacted quite q
little interesting business, the most I'm.
portant OF which was that the city So
licltor be instructed 20 prepare an ordl.
nance for the appointment OF a special
officer. whose duties II shall be to assist
In the collection OF licenses due the city
from various sources. This action was
taken as a result OF the recommends
ton OF City Clerk Watkins at the last
meeting OF council, and will meet with
general favor. The committee fixed the
salary OF the new officer at $40 per
month.
1t Is expected that the revenue which
will be added TO the amount annually
received BY the city for license, will be
more than sufficient TO pay the expenses
OF the officer. There are at present any
number OF peddlers going about the
streets selling articles without a u
cense. and all OF these will either have
10 pay up. or pay a fine Of IS and costs.
OF each OF these fines 81 will go to the
fund necessary TO pay the salary and
expenses of the officer.
The new plan will meet with the ap-
prevail OF merchants generally, VINO 10
a legitimate business, and whom the
law will protect from outside peddlers
with inferior wares. Besides this It will
do away, to a great extent, to the daily
annoyance h~ousekeepers experience
from %peddlers, ETC., Of whom there is
not one in ten who pay a license.
Another good move on the part OF the
committee last EI=stwns the adoption
OF a motion 10 instruct the city solicit
tor to draw up an ordinance, making It
unlawful for any person to place posts
or poles at the intersection OF streets
beyond the line OF the buildings. and all
telegraph poles now located on corners
are to be ordered removed.
The petition of NJ. r. Wolff, general
manager of the Central District &
Printing Telegraph Company, for the
privilege OF placing steps in front OF
the new telephone building on Chapline
street, was Refused.
The committee adjourned TO meet to-
night In Joint session with the health
committee. for the purpose OF discussing
and taking action on the proposed plar
of securing another location for the re-
duction plant, which has beer objected
to by the citizens OF the Sixth ward.

ADJUSTMENTS.


The advance sale Of eeats for Creston
Clarke's important engagement in the
romantic play, THE Last OF His Race"
opened at Houses. with a good sale.
Great interest is being manifested in
Mr.. clarke's appearance here, as those
who keep in touch with theatrical af.
fairs recognize in him the most brilliant
exponent of stage renranticism now be-
fore the public. His recent successes In
the larger cities in The Last Of His
Race" are such as to warrant the asser-
ton that his production here will be a
noteworthy event, one that will serve to
attract a brilliant and representative
audience. There have been so many In
quiries concerning Mr.. Clarke's engage
ment that he will no doubt be given a
splendid welcome at the Opera House
tomorrow night, for It Is certain all who
saw him here last fall have sung his
praises far and wide.

Fire was discovered in the attic Of
the residence OF Mr.. Charles W. Franz
helm, No. 50 South Front street. last
night about 4 o'clock, and only the
prompt response OF the department and
the efficient service OF the firemen pre-
vented what would otherwise have re.
suited In q very dlstastrous blaze.
The alarm was turned In from box 70,
located at the intersection OF Fink and
South Front streets, and when the
Island chemical reached tho scene the
entire attic was abluze and tongues OF
flame were shooting out through the
roof and windows. Tho chemical was
turned on from the Island apparatus,
and in a few moments the chemical en-
ginc from this side OF the river arrived,
followed In rapid succession by the Wig
Han engine and hook aud ladder.
The fire was hard TO reach and was

In a short time all the fluid had been ex-

flames were extlngulshed.
The attic was used ms sleeping apart

ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY.

H.
''i'ns" Aubsr AMI Martin Co.'s Charged
With Stealing sa7O From SchenI< Bro,.'
Wagon Inst Werk-Iield for n Hearing
To.Day-0ther Police Dolmgs.
Two very important arrests we're
made by the police yesterday, and If the
evidence against the prisoners is as
strong as it is alleged to be, they ear ex-
pect'sn spend a term'as guests OF Super

better known as "Buz." Auber and Nor
ris Coss, both of the South Side. They
are charged with being the parties who
stole s21O from Schenk's butcher wagon,
on the South Side. Tuesday morning Of
last week. The police have been hard at
work on the Ease since 1t happened, and
after following up 9 well defined clue,
the arrests referred to above were made.
The information which led to the cap
ture OF young Auber and Coss came
from a lad named Kramer, also living
on the South Side, who Gays that he was
standing in the Fifth ward market
mouse when the two prisoners approach
ed him and ordered him to watch where
the man in charge Of Schenk's wagon
put the money. They also kept an eye
on the driver, and as soon as the wager
drove off they followed It.
Lieut.. Ingram arrested Coss, yester-
day afternoon. and a few moments later,
officer Bero brought In Auber. They
were arraigned before Squire Rogers,
who held them in $1,000 bail each. for a
preliminary hearing this afternoon at 2
O'Clock. In default of bail the young
men were sent to Jail.
Both the prisoners are well known on
the South Side, and have figured to
some extent in local pugilistic circles.
Attorney W. p. Robinson has been
employed to defend the boys.

Very practical and full. OF good sug-
~Sestiors was DIR. William Petrie's talk
on How 10 Secure and Retain Mem

and argued for the quality rather than
quantity of members. He wanted the
Y. Mic. A. members 10 be model adver-
Users for the institution, which could

qualifications TO the foreground. DR..

sized the need for Christian young

THE KAISER'S RECEPTION.
The Lavish SpIendOr of 1t and Some
Amusing Incidents.

From the L, ndon Standard.
Many amusing incidents connected with
the German emperor's recent visit are now
coming to light. 1t appears that 10000
pounds was spent on a kiosk erected for
fl rniture which was supplied from the
palaces. The new uniforms and accoutar-
ments of the garrison cost $4,000 pounds,
exclusive. of the price of the cloth. The
sultan's presents to the imperial visitors
amounted to 10000 pounds, besides those
casually bestowed. For instance, it is
stated that the coverlet upon the empress
bed had the imperial crown and monogram
in the center embroidered in diamonds and
PEARLS. On her majesty expressing her ad-
mration of this work. the coverlet was i'm
medately presented to her.
At the Herekeh factory eye witnesses
state that there were amusing disputes with
the emperor and Herr Won Bulow over
some lovely carpets. The German foreign
minister, by his freedom of speech, greatly
astonished the Turks, whose ministers
scarcely dare breathe before the sultan,
and he secured some of the best specimens.
Two magnificent vases adorned one of the
salons at Yildiz Kiosk. On the sultan ask
ing Herr Won Bulow if ne admired them as
products of his own country, he answered
that he would much like to have similar
pair. OF course these were at once added
to his luggage.
1t can scarcely be wondered that the
Turks, who have not been paid their claims
against the treasury for a year past, are
heard grumbling at this lavish generosity.
When sand was bsing laid down in the
streets where the emperor was expected to
pass heard man sneeringiy remark. In

Oracle for Princeton Bows.

From the New York Mail and Express
Over at Princeton there is drayman
named Spillman who is believed by the STU
dents to possess the power of second sight,
and before examinations they often con-
suit him in regard to the proba of
being questioned upon this, that or the
other problem or topic. The old man
charges a fee for his advice, which is
cheerfully paid by the students, and oc-
casionaly mis- predictions are fulfilled in
such a remarkable manner that he tenn
EOrarily abandons his legitimate occupa-
ton and gees into the clairvoyance busi-
ness for the benefit of the boys who are
coaching fer examinations.
When SniIlman fails to score nothing is
said about it, but when he hits the mark
as he often does, the fact is known to
everybody in college. Before the recent
examinations a member of the sophomore
class paid Spillman a fee to pick out the
Problems that would be selected by the
examiners. He selected ten and it turned
out that eight of them were on the exami-
nation papers.
