The anticipated dissension in the ranks of the association did not materialize and everything passed off quietly. Reports of the committees showed the organization to be in very active work, and the prospect for the next year’s work is very bright. The minutes being read and -pproved, there was a call of committees. Mr. Carroll W. Smith reported his action regarding the condition of Monroe street. Ti. F. L. Allen reported that, in reply to Health Inspector Beaumont’s report and recommendation re- garding the Harrison street sewer, the Dis- trict Commissioners hud sent over @ force of men, and that, as a temporary relief, the drain had been cleaned to the river. As soon as possible work would commence on the connection between the Fillmore street sewer and the Monroe street sewer. The committee asked to be discharged, but Mr. Murphy complained of a pool of stagnant water on a lot at the junction of Stanton avenue and Jefferson street, and asked that the committee be continued and instructed to confer with Inspector Beaumont and have the pool of water filled and the nuisance abated. This was done.- Under the head of new business, the association took steps to elect a new president, to succeed President Buckley. The name of H, A. Linger was presented by Mr. Murphy and seconded by Justice Carroll Smith. He, was unanimously elected president. At the last meeting of the association J. M.Wood was elected honorary member of the asso- ciation, Upon looking over the constitution it was discovered that there was no pro- vision for honorary members, and, consti- tutionally, Mr. Wood was debarred from membership. In view of this fact and also for other reasons, @ motion wes made that the as- sociation reconsider his election. This was done, and Mr. Wood declated no member of the association, and the secretary in- structed to so inform him, The committee on revision of the by-laws was changed, and Messrs. H. A. Linger, Carroll W, Smith and Mr. Buckley ap- pointed to revise the by-laws and present a revision at the next meeting of the asso- ciation. he question of remodeling the organization, including a change in its meeting night, was next considered, several members advocating meeting at least once in two weeks. It was decided to adopt a financial clause, and regular dues collected. Committees will be appointed to cover cer- tain territory in the village, and application blanks furnished the people, which, after being filled out and accompanied by the necessary admission fee, will put them as candidates for membership. After this informal discussion, the association ad- journed to meet upon call of its new presi- dent, and the secretary instructed to notify him of his election. Rev. James McLaren of the Methodist Chureh has arranged for an interesting ad- dress for tomorrow morning’s service at the church. Miss Mary E. Wilson, a returned missionary from Japan, will be the speaker. She will also talk to the Sunday school pre- ceding the church meeting. Mrs. J. W.

The table linen was often excessively coarse, and you sel- dom saw it unless arabesqued and hiero- slyphed by the coffee stains and other like mementos of previous feasters. A mammoth china water pitcher, with huge sugar bowl and butter dish to match, made a cumbrous group that was never missing. In the su- gar were apt to be marks left by a moist spoon plunged there, and the butter would r veal along the sides of its big yellow plinth gouges made by a knife guiltily rants, steeped in gravy or egg-yolk or tomato sauce, Ot course, there were “neater” restau- rants, and one does not wish to be too simistic in speaking of places where, after all, one has memories of enjoying certain fairly comfortable repasts. But tn the main, “eating houses” predominated whose atmosphere would now be defined as vul- garity itself. The negro walters would come sauntering to you, after you had given them your order, with dishes (heavy, bluish-white, infrangible-looking — dishes) strung from wrist to shoulder in the most perilous state of tipsy equipoise. When you had finished your meal you would receive a thick, stiff square of cardboard, with soiled and often ragged rims, containing the amount of your indebtedness in burly black figures. For beverage you could get tea or coffee (usually invipid and flavoriess) in ponderous cups that weighed almost @ pound apiece. —_———_+0>—__—_- Very Eccentric. From the Chicago Record.
