Members of the Association Will In
sist on Some Action by the City Fathers
Members of the British Jubilee Me-
mortal association are quoted as saying
that matters relating to the drinking
fountain, which has been before the city
council for more than a year, will be
brought to head in the near future.
The most recent action in the matter
was taken a few months ago when an
order was introduced instructing the
committee on mayors inaugural and I'M
finished business to report on the mat
ter relating to a drinking fountain. The
order was adopted in the board of al
dermen but was laid on the table in
the lower board, and here the matter
rests so far as the city fathers are con-
cerned
M. j. Whittall is expected home in a
short time, and members of the associ-
alton claim that ON his arrival an at
tempt will be made to have action of
some sort taken on the matter. The as
sociation collected $4,000 for the fountain
which is collecting interest in bank at
present. The original intention was to
raise $4,000, but from the present out
look no attempt will be made to secure
the additional $780, The association will
insist on the fountain as originally de-
signed, although it is understood will
ingness has been expressed to have ii
placed in Institute or Elm park instead
of on the common as planned originally

WARM MEETING TONIGHT.
St. PauIs Lyceum Win Consider the
Athletic Question.

St. Paul's Lyceum members look for
a heated meeting this evening on the
question of sending athletes to West
field to participate in the games of the
Springfield Diocesan union. A member
of the athletic committee, which is sup
posed to have entire charge of every
thing pertaining to athletics in the So
ciety, is determined to resign not only
from the committee but from the So
ciety because of the action of the So
ciety. The committee determined not to
send athletes to the games at Westfield
and so reported to the society. The lat
ter overruled the decision of the COM
mittee and decided to send team of
athletes on condition the members of
the Westfield temperance organization,
under whose auspices the field day will
be held, would pay the expenses of the
team.
The Westfeld society has decided not
to pay expenses of the team.
The stand taken by the society in OPP
position to the position Of the athletic
committee has aroused considerable Bit
terness which is extending itself in
other directions.
There are members or the ofganlZa-
ton who would not be surprised if the
dissension eliminated in disruption
of the society or made a great change.
The society is not in as flourishing a
condition as it has been for years. hav-
ing lost large percentage of its mem
bers, among them the pillars of the So
ciety The finances of the organization
have also suffered materially so that the
maintenance of the house on Chatham
street is burden which is proving too
heavy for the decreased membership.
Suggestions are freely made that the
house should be sold and the society
obtain quarters near the center of the
city, the argument advanced being that
such is the only way the society can
restore it's former greatness.
