Prince of Wales Central Figure in Spectacle Reproducing
 Quebeo's Past.
EXCHANGE OF ADDRESSES
Vicc-President Fairbanks and the Prince Express Good Will
 of Countries.

Quebec. July 23.-The Prince of Wales was the central figure today in the magnificent spectacle reproducing Quebec's historic past and ushering in the S00th anniversary of tho founding of the city of Champlain Aside from the spectacular features of the event. 1t was the occasion for notable ex- change of addresses between Vice President Fairbanks and tho Prince of Wales, in which each spoke at length on the existing relations between the United States and Great Britain and the prince delivered a,message of good will to the American government.
 An enormous crowd filled the place Des Armes, fronting the Champlain monument where the exercises were held at o'clock Here the prince. surrounded by a brilliant staff, receiv- ed the addresses of the American and French representatives, the mayor of Quebec and finally Champlain him self, reproduced as Tn the days of old, coming from the mimic reproduction of his original ship. the Don De Dieu, with some five thousand followers rep- resenting every phase of i'd France in Canada. It was splendid specta- cle, carried out under bright skies, with setting of this picturesque old city and Its harbor filled with fleet of International warships
 Tonight the city and harbor was ablaze with lights The warships are outlined in electric lights marking every line of hull and rigging. The parliament and many other buildings are similarly outlined with myriad lights. From the citadel the prince is looking across the St. Lawrence at a gigantic display of fireworks on the Heights of Lewis, showing in fiery out lines the portraits of King Edward, the falls of Montmorency and the bat tie of Wolfe and Montcalm.

LIGHT WEEK AGAIN Bills Approved by City Finan- ciers Show Little Work
 Undertaken. SILENT ON HANDY CASE Not Taken Up Since Hearing Two Weeks Ago---Trcasurc Presents
 May Report.

At the regular meeting of the board of finance yesterday afternoon noth- ing further was done In regard to the payment of Patrolman Landy, who has asked that the city recompense him for the money which he was com pelled to pay as damages in an action brought by Mir. Lynch two years ago The case was heard two weeks ago and left over for action, but noth- ing was said about 1t since. Like the matter of the payment of George Me Carthy It looks as if 1t was a matter that might be held In the balance of indecislon for at least some time to come and possibly may slumber Into oblivion on the table of the board. The Mccarthy matter, in justice to the board, 1t must be sald has not yet been presented to the board by the aldermanic committee which was au thorized so to do.
 There was nothing beyond the regu lar signing of the monthly bills again yesterday. The report of Treasurer of the city finances, Henry Fresenius. was presented for the month of May and approved It showed balance of S64,255.32 on hand at the first of June as against a balance of s75,- 71S.9i on the first of May. The re- ceipts for the month of May were $1s6,11S,20, and the disbursements 1t shows were $197,5st.S2. The public works department again showed the effect of summer weather and the slack time of the year. In sal ary to laborers the sum of $l,432 26 was paid out by the city last week. and for the use of team the city had Co expend SPA, Street sprlnkling en- tire for the week amounted to s916.0S which includes the entire cost of that department of the city's work. The other items which this department had approved yesterday and which shows what the city is expending un- der the department for the carrying out of the regulation work done by 1t follows:
 Cleaning sewers and drains, s10s,
 Bridges, s4S75.
 Contingent horse trough and in- spector, s33
 Four inspectors for excavations | $7267.
 Repairs of streets, sS94
 Parks and trees and all work there on, sl6S
 Sprinkling, s91s,08.
 The sewer fund account, which takes care of the sewer work, shows an expenditure of s146.25 for labor and SPA for teams. The care of the public bath house. as usual, took SC for attendance. Salaries in the de- partment for thirty-two persons to- taled for the week S693.7S.

SEES PROSPERITY
Returning Slowly and Depends or
 Election, Says GmggenheIm.


 New York. July 23.-William Guggen- helm was passenger on the French liner La Provence, which sailed this morning for Havre.
 Speaking of financial conditions, he said: The cessation of attacks on private property has already restored confidence in financial circles. Every man with n good knowledge of finan- cial conditions notices, l believe, the gradual but certaint return to prosper lty. The depression of the past year was caused by attacks on property in- terests. Take the railroads alone. Tor instance. Fourteen billions of dollars are represented in those interests"
 MT. Guggenheim said he did not care to talk on the political situation, but that the election would decide how soon there would be complete return to conditions of prosperity.
 La Provence was out in the middle of the Hudson, and turning her nose to the south, when belated traveller came rushing down the pier, He was Henri Jonas, q Montreal importer, ready for his sixty-first trip across the ocean. The tue Michael J. Coffey was pressed into service, and he was rush ed out to and aboard the vessel.

WOULDN'T PAY MARRIAGE FEE.
Aged German Couple Preferred to Save
 Their Last Dollar for Food.

New York, July 23,--An aged Ger man couple presented themselves at the marriage bureau in the city hall this noon to get license, The woman was fully seventy years of age, and would have been believed if she had said seventy-flve, while the man was not many years under three score and ten, They spoke no Eng fish, so the interpreter told them how the license was made out, and that 1t would cost dollar,
 "A dollar" exclaimed tho woman in German, We won't pay 1t, Why shouldn't we get 1t for nothing?"
 The clerk explained tho law, and the woman replied!
 "Well, we won't pay 1t. If we paid a dollar for that bit of paper we wouldn't have any money for supper, That's all we have, a dollar,
 The clerk said the license could not be had at q discount, and the old folks went away,
