The exorcises''on ' ' ' the parallel and horizon tal bars and tlfii horse showed a prollciency rarely attained even by professionals. Each member semingly determined to outdo his fellow turnsri It was n grand exhibition of physical strfnli toned by grace und case of execution. The uddre'ss'oy the Hon. John M. Thurston was a masterpiece , couched in that gentle man's most happy terms. Ho gave a short history of the founding of the Turner asso ciation and touching on the excellence of the German army , due to turn training , brought his hearers down to the present and showed them the vulno of such training to our youth of to-day. Ho made the strongest argument possible when ho mudo mention of the fact that ho would sooi\cr \ see his boy come home from college a powerful athlete , prepared only to force his way through the world , than to como homo with all the learning possible and his physical system a wrock. The most Mu lshed performance of the evening was the olub swinging by the instructor , Mr. H. Kummcrow. The plaster tableaux , repre senting Greek mythical groups , were also well received.

A silken canopy is uphold by four young men ; the bridal party approached from the left to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march , and under this canopy the ceremony was performed , concluding \vith the break ing of the glass , representing the frailty of life.

COUNCIL ON SATURDAY NIGHT Fastidious Members Pronounce A Soap Factory a Nuisance. STREET CAR ORDINANCE KILLED. Will Continue to Drop Their McklCH In the Box No Hnise of Salary For the Police ttowry'ti Figures. Great Night in Council. Ordinances on their llrst reading were taken up as a prelude to tlio adjourned meeting of the city council last night , when Councilman Leo presided in the absence of President Bechel , who is confined to his homo by illness. The protest of Andrew Ucvins and others against the standing of cabs on the north west corner of Douglas and Thirteenth streets , was referred to the committee on police. The contract of James Fox & Son for pav ing Twenty-eighth street from Furnuin to Lcuvcnworth with cednr blocks , with James C. Hrcnniiti ana John I. Nichols as sureties , was approved. A communication from the ICnights of Labor asking for financial aid from the city to defray the cxpenso of a Fourth of July Jlroworks display was referred to the finance committee. Councilman Ilascall , In turning in his pro test agmnst the establishment of the Pupo soap works in the First ward , declaring it a nuisance on the strength of u two-thirds vote Of the residents of the ward , said that ho did not do it with a view of discouraging manu facturers from loc.Umg in the city. Hascull claimed that ho had letters from Kansas City , St. Louis and other points showing that soap factories similar to that of the Page works were a nuisance. Councilman Snjtler deemed Hascull's action as paying homage to one man , Mr. Kountzc , who wanted to fence In the First ward and keep out every enterprise that did not suit him , Mr. Snydcr had assurances from u largo number of the property-owners of the First ward Unit they were in favor of the works. "If the works should prove a nui sance. " maintained Mr. Snydcr , "thii council can declare them such and close them up. " He was in favor of giving them a chance. Councilman Ilascall delcnded his report , and said the First ward was not ready to tolerate the "nuisance. " If other ward * wanted it they were welcome to it. Councilman Klcrstcad insisted that soap factories were not a nuisance , and pointed out that the famous Kirk soap works , of Chicago cage , and that of the Babbitts , of New York City , were right in the heart of the olties mentioned , and that no evil effects were noticeable from them. Mr. Page had pur chased property , was going to employ a largo number of men ami should bo fairly treated by the council. After a lengthy debate the report declaring the heap works a nuisance vuis adopted by u vote of U to 2 , Councilmen Snyder and ICiur- stcaU casting the dissenting votes. \Vlien the committee on gas and electric lights send in u rujtort favoring the payment of 1,4J.'J5 for tbo lighting of the city during the months of January < February and Match , from the general appropriation ordinance , it caused Councilman Kierstoad to object against it. He thought the mayor would veto it if it was passed. Councilman Foid was willing to give tljo mayor n chance to do it , as was Councilman Lowry. Councilman Manville favored the payment of the claim for the reason that the council would bo in a better jiosition to declare its Independence of tbo company. Ho referred to the fact that the council wort ) continually ordering the company to lay mains throughout the city , and deemed it 11 cheeky process when tliu city owed them so much money. Councilman Alexander gave his opinion that the gas company is entitled to its pay , but so long as u dispute exists between I ho company and the city he thought it should be left to the courts to settle. Councilman HoKcall hud no doubt that tbo contract was in force aud that the company I. MILLINERY For the Choice of Ahy Trimmed Hat in our i Store. We are Overstocked & must Unload. This is the Greatest 1. Sacrifice We Have Ever Made And hope it will be ap preciated. Remember we have Hats worth up to $35 , which will be sold for ,4 $4.98. could collect. It made his honr.t sore to sco the city pleading the baby act. Councilman Alexander said Hascall's In- ecnious argument had a tendency to misrep resent what ho wuntqd to convey. Councilman Ford censured tlio chairman of the gas and electric light committee ( Manville - villo ) for carrying the bills in his pocket from month to month. Councilman Lmvry thought the council should adopt the report of the committee , allow the claim and leave the mayor to decide upon its merits. Ho moved that the rcpoit of the committee be adopted , which was curried , Hailoy , LSoyd , Hiirnlnun , Counsmun , Ford , Ilascall. Lowry. Manville , Snydcr and Van Camp voting In the atllrma- live , nnd Alexander , Kierstcad and Le&tho negative. Councilman Lowry read a long statement to the effect that the lire and police commis sion were robbing the fire fund for the bene fit of the police fund. Ho said the figures presented were his personal property , aud re fused to give them up when asked to by Councilmen Alexander and Bnrnliam so that the council could investigate if anything : was wrong. Mr. Alexander maintained that Lowry had made only n ono-sidcd 'examina tion of the matter. Councilman Ilascall advised Lowry to give up his figures to the committee on the police and lire , that they may bo enabled to Invosti- guto them. Councilman Lowry refused to give up the document , remarking , that ho hud private memoranda pit the pages. If the police committee wanted them they could go to the comptroller and get them from him. No further actioW was taken in the matter , and the ordinance 6&tdb- llshlng Capitol avenue from Twelfth to the cast line of Fourteenth as n marketplace was read for the third time and passed. , The council then went into a commlUoo of tlio whole. Mr Guy C. Barton appeared be fore the committee and said that the ordin ance calling for the putting on of conductors and the heating of cars would work disaster to the horse ear company , which hail been under a heavy expense in putting the road in a systematic running order. The grades of the city were such that they could notjrun ears that were necessary for conductors to preside over. If the company was required to employ conductor they would have to put on now curs at an outlay of # 105.000 , und an additional expense cf SVJ.OCO per . an num for conductor hiro. Mr. Burton was anxious that the council should noW decide - cido forever that with the present gradci of the streets that It would bo imnnieticablfl for street railways to put on heavier cars than are now in use. Ho also said It would | ) Q im possible for the company to heat thq qurx jn conformnity with sanitary laws. Councilman Kurd expressed himself aa opposed - posed to the oidlnunce , und gnvo it out that no newspaper editor could inlluenco him Into voting against his Ideas. I Councilman Alexander pointed out that the railroad company was dilatory in keening up improvements , mid gave assurances that if the mutter WUH not settled to night ho would make a speech on It lit the next meriting. Councilman Kicrstcud moved that when the committee rise they reeoninienrt that the ordinance do not puss. The motion wa.s carried. The ordinance regulating the pay of police men was next considered. Councilman Huscnll insisted that thu requirement * of- the ordinance weie tontiary to the charter , and ho recommended that when the committee rue they riipnrt so. Carried. Upon the reconvening of the council tlio above action of the committee of the whole was adopted , nnd the plunibms orditmncu as amended was adopted. ' ' . J'nruiji'upliH. W. E.
