calls attention to the Importance Of
the questions involved in this ordi-

That the women of the entire state
are quite as enthusiastic over the MAX
ing of Irish crochet as are the Mime
apolis women, is readily proved by the
remarkable display at the fair. Great
quantities Of this beautiful hand work
have been sent in for exhibition in the
Women's building, and the dexterity
shown in executing the intricate pat
terms is truly marvellous. The popular
ity Of this form of crochet has reached
the proportion of a fad.

this city for 81 years. The Office is
really one Of much Importance though
no salary is attached. The Irish
Standard would be pleased to see Mr..
Mahoney's name among the winners.

Attorney Frank H. Cashier made
an able argument in support of the
councils right to regulate and con-
troll saloons and drinking places at a
hearing last Monday afternoon before
the special council committee in the
city hall, having under consideration
the McHale ordinance. Many pres
emit declared that the ex-alderman's
arguments were Irresistible. BY con-
sent of all parties the matter was re-
ferred to the attorney general for q
legal opinion for or against the pro-
posed ordinance.
