George Primrose and his all Star

is entirely an American feature which
has gradually drifted away from the

every writer of comic opera and music

and invariably their biggest hits have
been made with these numbers. There
was a time when the public would
stand for a so-called minstrel show to

ed wigs and painted faces, which was
rather charming to look upon because
! it was new and in some degree true

, but this style having lost its novelty
is no longer charming, and furthermore

In the supreme court yesterday a de-
cision was handed down which affects
quite a number of citizens and it was
a case which was fought hard in the
lower court. 1t was entitled Solomon
VS.. the Sewerage Company and there
were quite a number Of plaintiffs,
something like a hundred. The SUI
preme court affirmed the finding of the
lower court, which. was in favor OF the
sewerage company.
Some years ago a number Of citizens
entered into q contract with b sew
erage company by which they were to
pay a certain amount per year-and
the contract was for a long period
Later the sewerage company went into
other hands and a number of improve
ments were made. The rate was then
increased and those having the special
CONTRACT were put on the same basis
as all other citizens. The result was
that parties who had these contracts
made a vigorous protest and when the
company refused to recognise the con-
tracts suit was instituted to keep from
paying the increased rates.
Another decision handed down was
that of Weeks VS.. Spooner, and in this
also the judgment OF the lower court
was affirmed, the coJHtt holding thai
there was no errOT This case was
decided ire favor Of the defendants.
The facts involved we're about as
follows:
c. D. Weeks, who was appointed
trustee for the firm OF flynn & Com
jpany which went into bankruptcy, in
stituted sui< against SpOoner so COM
pei him to gay owe the amount due
on a lot Of ~cfoss-ties which he lad got
from the above named company only
a short time before they failed. Flynn
& Company oved Spooner and he took
the cross-ties in part payment OF the
debt and the contention vas that in
aSmuch as he received th5m such a
short time before Flynn < Company
went into bankruptcy it gave hirn an
! undue advantage over the other credi-
| tors an dthat the value Of The cross
| ties should be paid to the trustee and
| divided among all of the creditors.
| The case was decided against the
| plaintiff in the lower court and the
supreme court found there was no
| error. In the sewerage case the find
ing was the same, no error.

Peace prevailed at the meeting O
the city council last evening The only
hitch was when Alderman Brooks call

fact that he had docked some police
men when they were off and had al
lowed the pay of others under the same
circumstances to go on.
Bids were received from the various
coal companies for the supply of fuel
for the water works, and much better
prices were obtained than last year.
No award was made, all of the bids be,

mittee to report. The lowest bid this
year was $1.30 per ton, while last year
the city paid $1.60.

The mayor made some nomination
for patrolmen, which were laid over
until the next meeting. One was
Charles Ohms, who was the McCaskrin
candidate against Alderman Anderson
in the Seventh ward last spring, and
the other was John Sullivan, who has
been on the fire department several
times. John r. Koch, who was nom
mated week ago, was confirmed.
The question of setting aside $3.50
