There is no old stock hunted up for this reduction, but the most desirable up to-date goods, and the discount is given whether your pur chase amounts to 10c. cr $10.00. If you have goods to buy and the cash to pay for them, it seems to us a good way to make 10 per cent, on your money, which iu these times is a high rate of interest. — We gave ail account a week or two ago of the* killing of a line horse, belong ing to liveryman Sehenck, of this city, by overdriving.

President limber contended that it was uot the business of the council to settle a dispute between a lire company and the chief—that it was the business of the board of engineers. Mr. Bkillman thought that council ought to decide as to the intent of the or dinances hearing on the question in dis pute. Finally, Mr. Leary moved that the quesliou be referred to the Fire Depart* merit (ommiltee, with the assistance of the City Solicitor to report at the next meeting of council. Adopted. The chief engineer and assistants re ported the need of badges for the active firemen of the department, many of thoso given out having been lost or carried away by those removing from town. They reported that they had secured es timates at 40 cts. eacli in large quantities. Ou motion of Mr. Guillick, the tire committee was authorized to procure the badges and present them to the firemen. A communication was received from 8t.

Mr. uuilltck called attention to the un completed work on South Main street. Mr. HittenliouHe, chaiiman of street com mittee, said the work had stopped be cause the appropriation had been exhaust ed.

At the Clifton race track in this state the proprietor pcimit ted a series of bicycle races id which women participated. Mr. Mott immedi ately blacklisted the track, and refused to raise it until the proprietor gave full assurance that no more such racing would be permitted. There is no demaud for such exhibitions, and Chairman Mott is light in maintaining the high tone of the L A. W., and of all races under its sanction. Elizabeth Journal. Chicago has adopted a scheme to tax all vehicles. I'ndtr this achetue bicycles aie to be taxed #1 » year and all other vehicles from $5 to $12 each. The fuiTd thus raised would aggregate about $1, 090,000 annually. Some such scheme was suggested ill New Jeisey last year, but it was, of fouise, aimed only at bicy cles. Queer isn’t it, 11ml bicycles, which l au not possibly injuic or wear out a road, are to he laxid to repair roads which are worn out by carts, wagons, carriages etc.? And again, its queer that rveiy year there arises some scheme to tax ve» hides for repairing roads which are hand ed over to horse car lines and electric car lines for their undisputed use am! occu pancy forever. There’s a good deal of inconsistency, not to say political wire pulling, in these schemes to tax the com munity to build ilieels ami roads and then give them away to rich corporations.

Tickets are o be Mold and good, going August 3 and 4, and returning from Philadelphia to August 9, inclusive. I his is indeed good news to League members throughout the country, for the one fare concession will undoubtedly be allowed by all the passenger associa tions in the United States. 'I bis is the first instance in the history of the L. A.

Through the ifforts oi the executive committee of the National L. A.
