 FIRST ALDERNANIC MEETING.
 The Common Council was scene of sp1endor and life this evening, the oc- casion being the initial meeting of the -new board of Aldermen The cham Der was as radiant and as fragrant as a profusion of flowers of early Spring could impart. The people crowded the entrances and the chamber outside the railing.
 | The Democrats occupied the east side of the chamber and the Repubh- cans the west side of the chamber. The Democrats had the most flowers There was the debonair Baker. the nartia1-looking Curtis, and the fash l ionabIe Co1es-Seeley on the Republi- can side, who looked good while the 1 Democrats were hidden behind the massive floral pieces.
 Philip Ho1zer, who had no flowers, was, sarcastic. When being twitted about the lack of flowers on his side of the house, he replied: "Oh, it's a | Democratic funeraL'
 The principal floral piece was Alderman O'Rourke's desk When ] it was placed on the desk there was no room for anything else. It was floral representation of a trolley sys- tenn. The roadbed was of white pinks, the poles were of red carnations; the whole framed with roses, calla lilies and vio1ets. | Henry C1ampett came next as a fla l vorite.
