gn The he; afternoon tern and night Of July an
which has astonished and thrilled audi
eIces in nearly every European city, and
country for the first time. The act Is en-
titled THE Death Defying Heel Swing"
At dizzy height, De Van suspends HIM
self by the heels. and then bringing all
his muscles into play, he causes his body
to revolve increasing the motion until
be becomes veritabie human whilaglg,
SO rapidly does he swing his form around
the pivot to which his heels are attached.
This act is a scientific wonder. we all

force to put itself In such motion, and
increase &. until the eye can only catch

Question Of Eligibility is Again
Up in the Board Of
Aldermen.
,R. PoLLARD's OPINION

q
There was but one interesting matter
before the Board OF Aldermen at thair
regular meeting last night. and 1t was In
relation to the eligibility OF Alderman NJ.
Fill Seay to the seat he now holds. and
that Of Councilman T. H. Elicit to cleo
ton To seat In tho body to succeed Mr.,
James n, Sheppard, resigned.
1t will be recalled that at the last meet
Ing tho Board was about to elect Council
man Elicit to the above named vacancy,
when Mr.. Seay arose and cautioned his
collea sues that they had better go slow
In ths matter. on account of constitu,
tional provision. placing an Inhibition
upon the election OF former members OF
either branch to Offices within the Elft
Of the Council until one year had elapsed
between the end OF their terms and the
time Of their offering for the places.
II was on Mr.. Seay's motinn that the
matter went on the table. and that the
opinion Of the City Attorney was asked
In regard to 1t.
Last night Mr.. Pollard submitted an
opinion, In which It was his Judgment
that Mr.. Elicit is not eligible, according
to the spirit II not indeed, the letter Of
the CONSTITUTIONAL provision on the SUBJ
ject, and when It was read. Mr.. Minor Of
fered resolution, which WAS adopted
calling upon the City Attorney for his
opinion In the case Of Mr.. seay.
Mr.. Seay's seat In the Board was de-
clared vacant last winter, because he held
n Federal position. When he gave up the
latter, he was reelected to the Board,
and now 1t Ia the opinion OF lawyers that
his case comes within the scope OF Mr..
Pollard's opinion rendered last night as
to Mr.. Elicit
The resolution OF Mr., Minor asks an
early opinion OF Mr., Pollard on the sub
ject, and when 1t Is presented. II It Is
found to be like the one already In hand.
