May Day Exercises.

The May day exercises were held at

The May day exercise represent the
great movement for play which has
swept across the United States and
which statisticans declare is adding a

These exercises are a part of the
daily routine of school life and in ad-

queen and although her crown sat
rather uneasily on her head and the
boisterous winds blew her lovely hair
into a veil of golden curls, she man
aged to keep the dignity of her posi-

speech to her subjects.
The May-pole was danced without a
single error although it must have
been an effort to keep the ribbons un-
tangled, After the dancing the guests
were invited to a delicious lunch with
the pupils.

Mayor Thompson will send a COM
munication to the council, Tuesday
night, suggesting that the corporation
counsel be instructed to begin pro-
ceedings to condemn a public high.
way, 100 feet wide, following the
course Of the private way or
lane now running from Jefferson-ave.
to the river through the Charles Lohr-
man, s. G. Miner and water works
properties. This new street would
practically be a continuation OF Hurl-
but-ave and would give the residents
OF that section an approach to the
river front, which the mayor considers
a necessity.
The executive takes this action In
view OF the fact that plans are now
under way to open Morrell-st. to the
river on the west side. He assures
the council that the water board will
lend its hearty cooperation not only
in opening the street, but in making It
beautiful.
II is expected that a resolution d.
recting the corporation counsel to get
busy on the project will be adopted by
the council Tuesday evening.

and fumes which come from the
slaughter-house, and of the piles of
refuse allowed to gather and attract
flies. Kraft, who leads the fight,
lives within so feet OF the slaughter
house, and says that at times the
odor is unbearable.
Schuman was defended, Tuesday
morning, by Sanitary Inspector Har-
dy, who testified that the place is
one of the cleanest In the city, and
that he never saw II dirty. He ad-
mitted. under DISCRIMINATION, that
once he complained of the condition
of the yard about the slaughterhouse,
but the nuisance complained of had
been remedied, and the house and
yards are now perfectly sanitary.

emphatic in his testimony on Schu-
mans behalf.
