No Immediate Action Regarding
the Matter, And 1t Is Probable
That For A Time the Park Will Go

The only thing of any consequence
out of the usual line was petition

After the mayor had called the coun-
Gil to order last n ght Messrs. Bruuner,
Badger, Burton, Stewart, Robinson,
and Scott answered to roll call.
Ben Catlin called the roll but his
assistant, Jake, read the minutes,
which were approved.
Alderman Burton presented the re-
port of the chief of police for January
as follows:
Total fines. $1436.

deft fingers the infinitesimally delicate

months to complete n single mantilla

are rarely employed by the European
residents as domestic servants. except
in the capacity of lady's maid or cnn-

are often occupied by boys. They are

two Arabian horses and their groom.

shawls, one gold-mounted sword. two
large pearls, one bottle OF diamonds.
one gold snuffbox studded with prec-
lous stones and one box OF mixed
pearls and diamonds. Under the con
stltution the president is prohibited
from accepting 4 personal gift from
any foreign state or power. and as the
sultan's gifts had arrived In New York
and the commander OF the sultanec
would not leave tho country without
presenting his masters offerings. an
embarrassing complication was the
outcome. The matter was finally re-
ferrcd to congress. and after three
