man Evans, of the City Democratic Com
mittee, contemplated calling meeting
OF the committee this week. being under
the impression that It was necessary TO

a Senator. and for this reason the meet
ing of the committee will not be called
until later.

an attractive catalogue, with announce

one of the most popular schools in the
