The movement 10 have Pythian Day

Association some time ago, appears To
be approved by the majority Of the
members OF the order. who believe that
the time is ripe. for an old fashioned
Pythian Day. Most OF the members
appear to want that confined TO one
day. while the association propose hav-
ing a big meeting in Infantry or some
other hall, and an evening parade. The
rank and file OF the members would
not object to a meeting In Infantry hall
i'm cold weather. but there is some
doubt as TO whether II would be wise
TO go there in any very large numbers
or into any hall, during the months OF
July or August. From what can be
learned, If the committee will coniinc

they will receive the hearty support OF
the subordinate lodges. So yet no

"Cut and run originated in a pc
culiar custom of the Egyptian embalm-
ers. A low caste was employed to make
the first incision in the corpse, a process
viewed with much dislike by the peo-
pie, who held him accursed who should
mutilate the dead. As soon as the fell
low had made his "cut" he had to run
through a storm Of curses, stones and
sticks. He "cut' for a living and had
to run to save his life.

"Hohson's choice" is derived from

The city government meeting last eve-
ming was of much interest, lasting until
nearly midnight. The salary bill and the
appropriation bill were the principal sub
jects of discussion; but other importan
matters were attended to. Mayor Robin
son and the entire board of aldermen
were present. There was also Il large at
tendance in the Council.
The APP ROPRIATION BILL.
The principal interest of the evening
occurred when Alderman Smith arose to
present the appropriation bill. This bill,
the fruit of the long struggles of the COM
mittee on estimates to make the expendi-
turs of the city came within the receipts
1T q moderate tax rate, was examined
with much interest. 1t had no sooner
been read than Alderman Latnson sug
gested that it be printed in full, SO that 1t
could BIZ examined at future meeting.
Alderman Mannix moved that the bill be
amended by the insertion of these Uterus:
For Park street school, S25, 900
For ladder and chemical on Nun
ioy Hin, 1900
Engine at West End, $500
Engine house ward nine, 5000
Total, a., 500
Mr.. Mannix's motion also provided that
this additional sum be borrowed from the
sinking fund.
MIR. Moulton said that the committee
had cut out about everything in the bill
that he wanted. There probably had not
been such slaughter of innocents since
the days of Herod Nevertheless, he
thought that they should pass the bill as
1t to pieces they would simply put them
selves back where the committee on esti-
mates were three weeks ago.
Mr. Mannix criticised the bill for in
DRESSING the fire department approrria-
tion and decreasing that for the streets,
II ) did not think that was consistent.
Alderman Lamson renewed his PROPOSE
ton for the printing of the report and
the bill with the proposed amendments.
Much discussion arose AMI long time
was consumed, in the midst of which
CLERK Bigelow arrived from the Common
Council with an adJnonitory message that
the Council had concluded their business
and were ready to go home.
Mr. Lamson's proposition was defeated
and the appropriation billiwas laid on the
table, to be taken UP next Monday.
The bill is as follows. compared with
the appropriations of last year;
