The picture Ut called "The Fall of lUbylon , " and depl-tH a scene at the famous feast of Uelshazzar when the city was destro > ed.

It Is valued at JSO.OOO The famous painting was brought over from tin- continent by Mr arlillth In 1S7S. and was exhibited In Toronto under the auspices of a local art association Its ex hlbltlon caused a great ruction mong the director ? of the < ujoclatlon , and one of th director leelKtnd In anger after unsuccess fully endeavoring to prevent the display of the picture.

Pacific officials the contract should be executed The contract which had. up to this time , never been before the committee , was pre sented , together with a letter relating to It. from C. S Montgomery , general counsel f'-.r the exposition. Mr Montgomery stattd that , a-i drawn , the contract gives the Ml.s- souri Pacific exclusive control over the tracks Inside the exposition grounds and gave the exposition no control whatever over the tracks or the handling of cars on the tracks ? Secretary Wakefield , In glancing over the contract , read one section for the Informa tion of the committee In wh ch I'vas pro vided that the Missouri Pacific should have the right to use the tracks Inside the ex position grounds for the use ot Itself or Its patrons "whenever , in the opinion of the super ntendert of the ( Missouri Pacific road such Uoe would not Interefere with the use or such tracks for exposition purposes " This clause seemed to bo rather surprising to the mem bers of the eieciitlve committee and to throw more light on the letter of the torporatlon counsel. Considerable discussion ensued as to how the Interest * ot the exposition were to be protected In the absence of an ex perienced railroad man on the committee It was finally decided to call upon Commis sioner Ctt of ihp CommcicUl club for as sistance and the whole matter was turned over to him for examination. The question , wlll be taken up at a later date. It xvas decided that the piopcxltloii sub mitted by Commissioner Powell of Mexico whereby It was proposed to secure the at tendance of the Mexican National Mllii.it } band at the exposition on condition that the Ofexlcan government makes an exhibit w it. accepted and ComniiErMrner Powell will he In structed to close his negctlatiens with the Mexican government The land will be here during a part of the time the exposition Is open and will furnish some of the mu lc. \n rim THI.iio I\IIIIIIT.

The police express themselves ns much dtedatlsDed with the disposition made by the council last Tuesday night of the ordl- inrico Introduced by Conncllnmn l.obeck , abolishing the wine rooms In the city. The ordinance was referred to the city attor ney , because some of the members of the council seem to be ot the opinion that the etntutes make the existence of wine rooma Illegal. The police assert that there Is no statute or city ordinance In existence which nbol- IshtB wine rooms. Police Judge Gordon Is appatently of the same oplnlcn. for he has discharged the men and women who have betii arrested out of the places The police maintain that they are unnble to suppress the wine room evil under ptcs- cnt conditions. Because Police Judge Gordon will not nbslst them. A dozen men and women have been arrested out of wine rooms since Ma > or Mnorts Untied his orders to raid the plncws and arrtst the occupant * .

He has decided that women have BK much right to drink beer and smoke cigarettes In thr e places rs men.

These animals got after a cat and chased It down trv street. The cut belonged to a crowd of half a dozen alleged hoodlums who were hanging nbout the saloon. These men held Stees and Lampmann responsible for the actions ot theli dogs and set upon them. To get away , the two went Into Haloid's aalonn and pin chafed a glass of wine apiece As a result of this story , the police jes- terday caused the Information of sellIng - Ing liquor on Sunday to be filed against the saloon ke-eptr.
