 A COUNCIL sEssION-Yesterday was the time to which the legislative
 
 was taken last Saturday for the pur- pose of allowing the legislative con- mittees to visit the territorial insti- tutiOns. All but three of the members of the council answered to their names at roIIcaH. It was then made known that yesterday was a holiday and that probably any action of the council would be illegal. A motion was made to adjourn immediately, but Councilman Nugent interposed with a demand for the morning prayer. He suggested that there could be no harm in that The validity of a prayer on holiday could not be attacked. It would be of as full force and effect as if delivered on any other day. Ac- cordingIy Chaplain Halsey invoked the divine blessing on the council and an adjournment was taken to the usual hour this morning.

The other night one was sent in from the first ward and though the author of it has not been definitely located it is pretty well known that he was youth who want ed to go to bed and it being then fif- teen minutes to nine, he took that way of touching the curfew bell off. Most of the boys of Phoenix are not aware that the penalty attaching to this form of sport is a severe one.

Ernest Walker, his local rep resentat.vc, S--t mainly for a vacation which he says is the first one he has had in twenty-five years.
