The first steps were taken by coun

The Invitation from the seml-ccn-tennUl
association wan as follows:
To the Honoiable, the Select nnd

city, the association, to which has been
delegated the power of uiianglng the

We extend to jour honoiable bodies,

lespectfitlly,
K. K. licndil.'ks, J. J. O'Neill, V. n.
Grltman, I C. Connor, geneial ofii
ceis. Theie was a tesolution ai company

In which the Joint building committee
was dltected to meet with the semi
centennial association's committee, to
discuss plans of decoration, and th.U
the sum ot $M0 be appiopi Idled for
this pin pose.
After the leading of the Imitation
and the lesolutlon, and before action
.vas taken on them. Hon. J. J. O'Neill,
of the general committee of the semi
centennial association, was he.ud in
behalf of the proposition to have coun

after lefculng to the cMiaoullnary
event that was to be oeleluatcd and
indicating why councils should be
represented, Mr. O'Neill pointed out
how an appiopilatlon could be made.
While the city was not nllowed to
:ontilbute to the centennial fund, yet
It was within the power of council to
Improve the public buildings nnd
paiks, and the scheme of decorating
the city hall and about the public

OTHER MATTKRS OF COUNCIL.
Theie was Just a quorum at the
regular bl-weckly meeting of common
council last night.
The meeting, aside fiom the semi
centennial matter, was not maiked by
the inttoductlon of measures calcu
lated to awaken any moie than ordi
nary Interest, ordinances for thiee or
four an lights and a few resolutions
being about all that wete passed on.
The oidlnance which Mi. Whitfield
Introduced a few weeks ago, which pto
vlded for thiee stieet lights, on Talk,
Spring streets and Columbia aenue,
was ie-Intioduced and was passed on
two leadings.
This oidlnance was put over nt the
last meeting of councils for two weeks,
because of Its falluie to provide an ap
propriation for the lights. It was since
learned fiom the city solicitor that It
was not necessary to attach the ap
proprlatlon clause.
The ordinance by Mr. rugllano, pio
vlding for an arc light at the Inteisec
tlon of Fallbiook stieet and Blown
avenue, parsed final leading. The fol
lowing 1 evolution by Mr, Stone was le
ferred to committee: Granting Henry
Carter pei mission to connect his prop,
erty with the sewer on Canaan street.

lishing a permanent giade on Kobln
son street nnd dliectlng the piopeity
owneis to lay sidewalks theieon within
sixty days, otheiwlsc the improvement
to be carried out by the city engineer
at the expenses of the piopeity holdois,
was lepotted favoiably and Hdopted,
though there weie two dissenting votes,
Mr. Harry Masteis and Mr. I-oftus
The jesolution by Mr. Evans, dliect
lng a contiact to be entered Into be
tween the city and the Black Diamond

pany to protect tho city fiom piobablo
damages by reason of tho dlschaigo
of culm fiom the foimer company's
washery and of waste silk from the
latter's plant Into the city's drain pipes,
was icported on favorably. It was not
adopted, however, but was le-refenetl,
po us to obtain the advice of the city
solicitor. Some of the coundlmen did
not think tho city had any authority
to enter Into such a contract, and
further, that theie weie adequate
means at law to piotect the city from
possible damages fiom the quarter In
dicated. Council then adjourned.

A SUMMER DAY'S
TROUBLES
Aired Before Aldorman Jones Olo
Pratt's Fun Objected to by Ooorge
Piorce, His Victim Troublo Over
Two B-cont Chunks of Ico A Hoap
of "Cool" Talk Before tho Alder
man Bottles tho Difficulty.
There weie two cases before Alder
man Jones yesterday, which offered
enough amusement to make one forget
for u while that It was leatly waim.
The Hi st one was what you might
call a funny assault and battel y case.
That's wheie the tiouble seemed to Ho,
one of the pa I tics had what he thought
was fun: he had so much of It all to
himself that to squaie matters his vic
tim sought icdress In the law.
Ole Piatt, nn employe at Emery
Leo's livery, was tho man who seemed
to have all of the fun. Oeoige Pierce
was the man who objected, Pierce's
woik brings him to Lee's livery, nnd
on several occasions Piatt would lay
hold of the foimer's hat and push It
down over his eyes. Ho would vary
this performance by smashing Tierce's
hat or knock It mound until It looked
like the one In tho hat repairer's llltis
1 1 a tlon of "befoto" nnd "after." On
nuother occasion Piatt would hnve
some fun by pulling off the ilm of the
hat, nnd again the sweat hand would
bo tipped otf. Pierce couldn't see any
fun In this sort ot fun. It might be
fun for the other fellow, but It wasn't
for him, especially since each perform
ance of the funny business cost him
$1 fn. the price of his hats. Pierce also
said he was handled roughly by Piatt
dining the hitter's funny streaks, and
altogether theie was sufficient, ho
thought, to make out a case of assault
and hatteiy.
Piatt, who looks as funny as he
seemed to be In these Instances, made
no denial of the charges, so the alder
man held him In $200 ball. Abe Sahm
furnished the security.
"How would jou like to be the Ice
man."' would be a pertinent ques
tion during the hearing of the second
ase. It was an Ice case, that Is, there
was enough said about Ice to make
you feel Just a bit cool, notwithstand
ing tho Scrnnton weather man's heat
waves fiom oer Vancouver way.
It seems that a Mrs. J. F. Peteison,
of the lower part of town, bought a
chunk of Ice from the Iceman yester
day morning Tho iceman was ppu
lar In that vicinity, for a Mrs. Ward
bought another chunk of coldness; also
two other neighhois. The four pieces
were placed on the .sidewalk. Young
Peteison, son of tho pioseculor, went
for tin expiess wagon to cart his
mother's puuiiasc home, but when he
leturned the piece that ho had selected
was gone, nnd on tracing It it was
found In tho Ward home. Mis. Peter
son got her five cents worth and stni t
ed home, but wns mot at the gate by
VVllllam Waul, who, she says, struck
her. Hence the charge ot assault and
battery
This Is the Peteison version of the
tiouble. The Ward tnnilly gae It an
other color. Mrs. Ward said she didn't
take the piece of Ice that belonged to
Mrs. Peterson. The blocks of frigidity
weie placed on the sidewalk, with none
of them for nny particular patty. It
was a case of "you pays your price and
takes your choice." Ward, the de
iendant, contributed his pait of tho
story, which was that he didn't stifke
Mis. Peteison, only pushed her aside;
and that ouns Peteison called him a
name, a couple of them, that he was
certain wasn't taught him In his Sun
day school clnss.
After all tho talk about Ice, the al
derman seemed somewhat refreshed,
nnd was nble to give his decision with
out mopping his forehead or tace, as
he had been doing all morning. Ho held
Ward In ball to answer nt court, and
released him on his furnishing secur
ity. Back from Fan-Amerioan.
Assistant Tostmaster John Nealon
and Mrs. Nealon are home from a de
lightful stay at the Pan-Ameilcan.
Mr. Nealon was particularly lnteiest
ed and pleased w 1th the splendid mall
car which tho Delawaie and Hudson
company has among Its exhibits. There
was probably only one thing at the ex
position that dlf-appolnted Mr. Nealon.
That was the building which lepresents
the big state of Pennsylvania, which
caused numbers to make the comment
that It looked more like a fair-sized
summer hotel thi.n a state building.

A JUDGE'S WIFE
She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope
lessCured by
Pe-ru-na.
Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1217 West 33rd St., Minneapolis Minn.,
as follows:
"I suffered for years with a pain In
tho small of my back and right side. It
Interfered often with my domestic nnd
social duties and I never supposed that
I would bo cuied, ns the doctoi's medi
cine did not sectu to help me any.
"Fortunately, n member of our Order
advised mc to try Peruna and gave It
rfuch high praise that 1 decided to try
It, Although 1 started In with little
faith, I felt so much better In a week
that I felt encouiaccd.
"I took It faithfully for seven weeks
and am hannv Indeed In be nble to say
that I am entirely cured. Words fall to
expiess my gratitude. Perfect health
once more Is the best thing I could
wish for, and thanks to Peruna 1 enjoy
that now." Minnie E. McAllister.
Tho great popularity of Peiuna as a
catanh icmedy has tempted many
people to Imitate Peruna. A great
many so-called catanh remedies and
catarrhal tonics aie to be found In
many thug stoics. These remedies can
be piocured by the dtuggists much
cheaper thnn Peruna. Peruna can only
ho obtained at a uniform price, nnd
no druggist can get It n cert cheaper.
Thus It Is that druggists me tempted
to substitute the cheap Imitations of
Peruna for Pciunn. It Is done ovety
day without a doubt.

SAVED INNOCENT LIVES.
Washington correspondence of July
IS states that It Is now apparent from
mall icports which have Just reached
the State Depaitment from China that
It was solely through the moderation
and humanity by the tepresentatlves
of the t'ntted States at Peking, by tho
presidents direction. In tho eaily no
gotlatlona for a settlement of the Box
er trouble, that a numner of Innocent
llxes weie not sacrificed. These re
ports show that a more sober and
painstaking Inquiry has developed thl
fact that some of the Chinese ofllclall
Mipposcd to hnve been connected with
the Boxer outtnges, whose capital
punishment was demanded by the
foreign mlnlsteis, hive been proved to
be entirely Innocent of the charges
madu agatnHt them. In manj
other cases ptoof has been secured thnl
the offenses with which the Chlnefa
official weie chaigcd weie not neaily
so giavo as was foiipposed at first by the
foielgn leptesentatlves at Peking,
Theiefore It is legarded heie by officials
ns a niattet for congratulation that
Messrs. Conger and Rockhlll moved
with dellbeiatlon nnd acted n a ic
stialnlng Influence In regard to punish
ments, not only wen- these lives saved,
but under their Influence tho whole
list of capital puntences was reduced
from ten to four, and mitigation feu
other Influences was obtained.
