SUM OF $37.0OO Has Been Expended Already by Street Railway for
 Materials. COMPANY SAY THEY CAN'T GET THE BENCH RAIL UNDER
 FOUR MONTHS,
And Ask the Council to Let the TT" Rail Be Substituted in It's
 Stead.
WILL PUSH WORK RIGHT ALONG

A special meeting of the city coun- cil was to have been held Wednesday afternoon at the city hall, but there was no quorum present, notwithstand- | ing the fact that the aldermen had :, been notified that there would be i meeting.
 It waa called for the purpose of al lowing the attorney for the Citizens Light and Transit company to make | a report as to the amount expended and the progress made by the com pany. There being no quorum pres- ent, MT. M. A. Austin, attorney for the company, merely explained to the mayor and few aldermen present the object of the company in asking for a hearing on that afternoon. He said it was to show the council that it was complying with the contract, which required the company to expend at least $5,000 by the first of May. He merely wished to submit his report to demonstrate that the company was complying with it's contract to the letter. MT. Austin said that the com- which were entirely unexpected; that it had expended some $37,000 in the way of purchasing material, and he had the books, showing the same to be true, there for inspection, He added that the ties, rails, engines and boilers had been bought and the street cars contracted for and that the only reason why the company had not already begun work is because the material had been delayed in arriv- ing and they did not want to start the work and then stop, awaiting the ar. rival of material, thereby retarding traffic. He said that the company wanted to begin the work when it was prepared to go right ahead and com plete it.
 MT. Austin said that he wished to ask request of the council, and that was to permit the company to use the "T rail in the down town dis tricts The contract requires the company to use the bench rail in that portion of the city, but at the present time it is unable to secure that re- spective material, and it will be four months. so the manufacturers state. before an order for that rail can be filled. He said that it was the earnest desire of the company to substitute the "T'' rail for the bench rail and avoid delay of work
 Mir. Hubbard, the consulting engi- neer, and MT. Robert York, the cleo trician, stated that the "T'' rail was being used equally as much as the bench rail and the latter asserted that 1t was taking the place of the bench | rail in many cities in recent years MT. York had official documents in the way of electrical journals, etc. upon which authority they based their S''' sN ii' - eo iie u9e oi tue rdlls were explained to those present and there seemed to be no objection on the part of the councilmep to the company substituting the "T" rail for the bench rail. but no action was taken as majority of the councilmen were absent

At the con- clusion of his speech, Mayor Bell in. troduced Hon. s. M. Taylor, whose ad- dress was magnificent piece of ora tory, and brought tears to the eyes of many.
 Hon. H. l.. Remmel, of Little Rock, was next introduced. Mr. Remmell told of the beauties of our country, the worth of the brave soldiers and paid beautiful tribute to the ex-Con- fedrate who carried the flag. His ad- dress was enthusiastically received.
 Hon. J. H. Hinemon followed MT. Remmell, and his address to the young soldiers was pretty and the fact that his entire talk was enjoyed was attested by the enthusiastic ap- plause received.
 Mayor Bell introduced the most distinguished guest present-Senator James K. Jones. AS Senator Jones arose to speak, the assemblage cheered him to the echo. He began his speech by saying that it was not his intention to detain the young

To Judge the Age of Lace.

In fixing the approximate date or
any given piece of lace it is well to re-
member that machine made thread was
not used till after the beginning of the
eighteenth century. Before that time
the threads ran in lengths of about
twenty inches, for the worker could
stretch no farther than her distaf and
had to break off and join again, so that
after unraveling some twenty-five
inches of thread no joint is found the
lace is surely after the introduction of
machine made thread. The brides
ornee" alone are enough to go by. In
the fifteenth century the bar had only
knot or n dot as ornament, in the
sixteenth n double or single loop and
in the seventeenth q star The edging
also helps. \ sharp angle in the seal
