After the usual pre liminary business, the clerk read a communication from Charles & Co., lamp manufacturers, in which they stated the order for street lamps would receive prompt atten tion. In a communication addressed to the council, the secretary of the First ward hose company stated that M. B. Cfy derma n and R. M. Mason were entitled to certificates of fireman's service, and the clerk was instructed to issue certificates to those gentlemen. The committee to which had been referred the claim of Mary J. Nance for damages received by a fall on a defective sidewalk, reported that it had made a thorough examination of the matter and would report un favorable to the payment ot the claim. Mr. Schatz introduced a resolu tion favoring the enforcement ot the ordinance which taxes opera houses twenty-five dollars per j-ear and dance halls five dollars per day. Also the enforcement of the ordi nance which requires the collection of a tax of fifteen dollars per week from non-resident physicians who practice in the city. The resolu tions were unanimously adopted. Bills for road work were ap proved as follows: John Kuntz, S36.00; Rush Dean, 36.00; John Jones, 10:00; Bud Criddlebaugh, j 30.00; Geo. Bonwell, 36.00; B.

(-Fireworks nnu Flajr Dealers Have Their . -.Hands .ltoll Campaiffn Hats Will Bo aiacli Used Tlio Poster CaUed Into Serv ice Flags, of Coarse, of All Sorts. National political campaigns may bo trade disturbers, especially when tho is sues involved aro vital, but they help out certain lines just tho same. New York city more than any other reaps a big harvest through pernicious activity that is widespread, as it is tho source of supply for most of tho political para phernalia needed to arouso enthusiasm. A heavy dealer m fireworks told mo to day that his house is busy now filling orders for tho coming campaign. The demand already is unusually large, Re publican clubs so far being tho heaviest purchasers. He says tho signs point to tho use of any quantity of noise produc ing stuff and red fire, even for small demonstrations. When the parading bo- gins, he and all others in his lino will enjoy unusual prosperity. Tho banner makers are already busy. It takes time to make banners, and their cost is considerable, but the mak ers aro taking more than usual pains this year, and the portraits of Mr. Mc- Kinley and Mr. Hobart aro being repro duced with care. Clubs can get a very good banner for 50. They can get oth ers at prices which run into tho hun dreds. A political parade without trans parencies would lose half of its interest. The makers of these quadrangular in centives to enthusiasm aro busy. Hats, and not cheap ones, either, will be con spicuous features this time. Napoleon hats have tho call. Already manufac turers have their hands full and are shipping large and small lots every which way. Uniforms will also bo more elaborate, and a good deal of the money will get into circulation, on their ac count. New fads are gradually creeping into tho ranks of the campaigners here. Among tho newest is the poster. Theso will be calculated to catch the oye and will bo much in evidence. The majority of them will be slightly modified Aubrey Beardsley designs Tho campaign, button has been on the market for several weeks. It is three-quarters of an inch in diameter and is enameled. These buttons are sup plemented by badges, which aro made chiefly of silk fringed with gold. The red, white and blue badgo is tho favor ite, with the puro white badge printed in .gold tho nest best in demand. The Republican club3 aro having these badges mado especially for them. Then there's the campaign flag. These come in every size and aro made of-paper, printed muslin and silk. They vary in price from 1 cent to 250 and oven more. Old Glory, of course, pre dominates, but tho clubs will also carry flags made for them and suitably inscribed. Torches and lanterns are be ing made in largo numbers. They are meant to show every color and aro made with special reference to withstanding wind and rain All in all, tho spectac ular part of tho campaign promises to eclipso all that has gone before and come higher. New York Cor. Pitts burg Dispatch. HAPPY TOAST TO VICTORIA. Neatly Turned Phrase That Pleases the Loyal Britishers. It takes a Yankee to teach the Eng lishmen the felicities of after dinner oratory. Colonel Walker, the command er of the Boston Ancient and Honorable Artillery, at a banquet, in offering a toast to the British sovereign, alluded to her ' 'queenliness as a woman and her womanliness as a queen. " The phrase has wonderfully tickled tho English men and brings forth enthusiastic praiso from tho English newspapers, many of which express astonishment that nobody over there had ever thought of such a happy and graceful expression. Dr. Chauncey M. Depew tells with great glee a story to the effect that he was in company with some Englishmen in Lon don when he related to the party one of his little jokes. Twenty years later, dur ing another visit to England, some of the same party were present, and ono of them burst out in a great roar of laugh ter. He had just seen the point of tho joke! Queen "Victoria has reigned nearly 60 years, and yet during all that timo no Englishman has coined any compli ment so clever as that of the American in his offhand after dinner talk. Troy Times. lllnco Flo Cocktails. One of tho latest discoveries in the line of cocktails is known as tho mince pie cocktail. It is mado of Jersey apple jack, yellow chartreuse bitters and a dash of the oil of lemon rind. The orig inator of the drink gave it a name from tho remark mado by an old customer whom ho coaxed to try one. The old gentleman sniffed it and said: "Why, it smells just like the filling of the niinco pies my mammy used to make. And it tastes like 'em, too," ho said a moment later. New York Sun. Armenia's Awfal Plight. A lady whose name is not given, and who has just returned to London from Armenia, asserts that the foreign con suls and missionaries there estimate that fully 1,000,000 deaths have oc curred in that country as tho result of the massacres and from starvation. The present condition of Armenia, she de clares, is worso than it was during the massacres. Thousands of the inhabit ants aro starving to death. After All These Tears. It is "announced that the wife of a nephew of fielding is to "expurgate' "Tom Jones," and that- the widow of .Richard Burton has authorized an Eng lish Anthony Comstock to expurgate his 'Arabian Nights.
