Lindsay, t'olwell and Irvine, of the.

ubxeniee was Thomas. The chair was
lille.l byair. McNulty nnd Mr. Devine
acted us secretary.
The committee upon enlerliifr on their
duties fonnii It pretty liurd to proceed,
as they needed a stuW'inelit of account
from the city controller, and they were
oliliised to leave the considering of sev
eral appropriation until last eveninfr.
The Liquor Dealers' association were
represented by a strong deputation,
11 ml presented a petition asking for a
JGOU appropriation for the protection of
their Interests. They say that with
their licenses and taxes they pay about
une-tliird to the city's expenses anil
claim that they are entitled to consid
eration at the hands of the council. The
association wants to employ a special
detective to obtain evidence against
the speak-easies and dives, and see
that the law Is strictly enforced.
The city fathers did not look favor
ably upon the iietitiou for music con
ceits during the summer months, and
It is very likely that the petition will
lie iilKrun-liiiled.
The mayor's salary will probably be
udvanced to Jjotl und the controller's
stipend will be mailt- $100 more.

AIU-. Does each
V II.Y such an increase in the volume of our
business, enabling us to introduce finer goods, buy
in larger quantities and cater more successfully to
the wants of the public?
It because the people are satisfied with our
method of doing business and have learned to
look to us for the best assortment of House Fur
nishings at the most reasonable prices?
RMay be so; at all events you will do well to look
the matter up, and a visit to our establish
ment just now will be particularly interesting, as
many new novelties are being shown, including
a mammoth display of Baby Carriages.
