The attraction of the people looking for holiday goods is cotirely ceutered at Fise- man’s stove, It calls out thousands of ladies and childven to visit their holiday depart- ment. People areastonished when they see our immenso variety. The question of overy one is, how could they get such an assort- ment together? and how can they sell their foods o cligp? The rason is, becauso wo uy them chéap enough and don’t believe in ?e large profit system that other houses do. ve sell them close and sell lots of them.

Some time has elapsed since the ex ploits of the notorious Plike gang, which occupied the residence owned by Mr. Cowles of Des Moines, near the corner of Ninth avenue and Bixteenth street, Notwithstanding that in- formations were filed agawst all the male members of the gang for participating in the disgraceful affair at the Fifth avenue Met dist church, none of them have been captured.

THE NEW HACK DRIVER'S ORDINANCE. A Solution of a Vexing Problom—How a Minnetoa Physiclan Lost His Watch—Minor Mention and Personal. The mayor and all of the aldermen, with the exception of Mikesell, met s & committee of the whole yesterday afternoon and spent an hour or two looking over the line of the proposed new leves petitioned for by Messrs, Paul, Evans and others. The municipal party used the patrol wagon and made a care- ful survey of the proposad line. Thedriver was under dircction of My, Paul and he fol- lowed the line wherever it was possible. he visit was the result of the petition re- forred to, and it may have an important influ- ence upon the action of the council at the meeting to be held next Mouday night, when the bids will be opened for widening and strengthening the old levee. On the north side of the old lovee there are severa housand acres of land fully u“'illu able as that on the south side, whichis dented whate protection the levee can give. The acreage tracts on the south side are worth 50 to_$1,000 per acre, while on the north £175 per acre is the prevailing price. The ownersof this property are the ioners for the protection, and if they ean succeed in convindng the aldermen that it be better for the general interests of the t construct the new levee instead of suing the old, the contracts will not be let for the proposed work on the old line. The aldermen looked over the proposed line very cafefully, but in their remarksand dis- cussions as carefully avoided saying anything that would indicate what their convietions ». Their conclisions will probably be 1 when they mect in session again. T'he proposed line commences at. the North- westorn railway track near Mynste follows the southern bank of Big lake, and at one point trenches upon the oid river bed, and ends near the waterworks pumping station. It will baover two miles long, and will a uniform height equalling the grade established in that part of the city and eral feet avove the highest high water mark made i years of extensive floods. The proposition is to construct the embankment wide enough for street or railway purposes. The cost will be ossessed against the prop- erty lyicg in what is known as sewer district No. 1, embracing all that portion of the city that ‘will be benefitted by the anpmml bearer, It is claimed that the additional amount of property that will be benefited by the broposed levee wil) be great enough to pay for the cost.

The doctor went home and spent several days in bed as the result of his jam- boree and the unknown friend held anaching head for several days and carried a watch that he did not know how he got.

Telephone 136, District Tel- e Another Hack Drivers’ Ordinance, At the meeting of the city council on Wednesday evening another ordinance was presented for the consideration of the alder- men, providing for the regulation of hack drivers and expressmen, naming the places and conditions where they will be periitted to stand their hacks and wagons while wait- ing for custom, The ordinance was drawn oy the city attorney under the instructions of the committee on streets and alleys. There is no other single small matter that has given the public, the expressmen and the various city councils so much trouble as the effort to find a satisfactory solution of the problem presented by ha'fa hundred ex press- men and hack drivers. These men to be of use to the public and to be found by thewr patrons when wanted are obliged to oceupy some public place. The city has been vnable to provide anv other place than the streets,and ordinance afterordinance nas been passed naming the street where they may congregate and makin £ it a misdemeanor for any of them to stand their wagons or hacks at any other place, The hackmen have obeyed the orders, and the strects designated have been blocked by their wagons to the serious detriment, of the business men in the v y. The kicks that have followed have always been harkened unto by tho council and the ordinance repealed by the adoption of another namiog isome other street. This practice has been followed until cross street on Broadway, from the Ogden house to the postofiice, bas been given tothe expressmen and taken away again until at the present time they have no rights upon any of the streets except when their vehicles are in motion, or they have the kind permission of some business man to stand in front of nis property. Even then in the latter case they are subject to arrest unless the property owner comes forward and swears that the expressman is standing his wagon there for his special benefit. City Attoruey Stewart and his feonferees on the committee believe they presented a satisfac- tory solution of the question in the ordinance presented at the last meeting, By its con- aitions all previous ordinances are repealed and hack drivers and expressmen ave per- mitted to stand thele vebicles on any of the public streets at any poiut they desirve, pro- vided that uot more than two of them renain togetner and do not stand their wagons within 100 feet of any others. This removes the possibility of the hacks crowding to- nuisance to the business men and permits them to remain vhere they can be found when wanted, The ordinauce was passed to its second reading and referred to the committee of the whole upon motfon of Alderman Wood. 1t is very likely to receive thesapprobation of all interested parties and to pass without oppo- sition at the next meetlngof the council, which will be on Monday night.

Boyd’s, Mr. A. S. Lipman appearing as Will- fam Lewis. The story is an interesting one and is well told, though the piece, it must be said, dragged in the first two acts, This was not because of the incompeteney of the performers, because the company s of more than average ability, but rather of the liberty of which they availled themselves in taking the stage and waitifg for the sudience to commend their work, Some of the asides also were unpleasantly rendered. the actors talking to the audience almostas they would if delivering a stump speech, greatly to the disillusion of the aud- itors and the mortification of the others on the stage. Mr. Lipman’s greatest work is where, as the Dbloated and repulsive house-breaker, after discovering his child in the home of his rival, he tearfully abandons the little one to keep from her forever the knowledge of his crimes, M, Lipman is essentially a char- acter actor and his work in this scene se- cured a call before the curtain, Mr. Henry Carson Clark, as the law stu- dent, created some merviment, He was re- sponsible, however, for a considerable amount of the time lost in the business of the piece. Mr. L. A. Wagenhals makes a handsome editor and a tender and devoted husband to the heroine, and shaved in the recall at tho close of the third act. Mr. W. B. Arnold as James Hamilton, the retired merchant, gave an admirable rendi- tion of a character which many actors would consider of but littie importance. Miss Helen Ottolenzue satisfled the re- quirements of Alice, and was highly appre- clated, s Hattie Schell, as Fannie, invested the cter with charming simplicity and grace, ve been more delightful had s less of reserve, ar, as Editha, rendered her part in a very successful mauner, though it may be questioned whether she is not an older child than most people would prefer to see in the part, The last act of the piece has been rewritten, restoring the burglar to respectrbility and to the arms of his wife. The change deprives Mr. Lipman of a great scene, but pleases the audience. The audience was large and, save in the instances referred to, enjoyed the perform- auce, tl tim Little Vallio E; e Alding the Y. M. O, A, . The “rounding ap' of the special finance committee of the Young Men’s Christian association Wednesday showed total sub- scriptions secured to the amount of §,155, The canvass is being continued with vigor and_will so continue until the total amount needed will have been secured. Mr, Ober handed Tue Bek the opinion of the late A, T. Stewart of New York and Hon. John Wanamaker of the Young Men's Christian association. Mr. Stewart, on giving $10,000 for the build- ing in that city, thanked them for the priv- ilege of giving, and said in substance: *I have over oue thousand men in my employ. 1 often wonder what they do outof business hours and what is their woral chavacter, 1 haven't time to look after them, Any com pany of gentlemen who band themselves together to do what you are seeking to do for gother il such numbers @ L0 prove @ llbu young men of New York ought to de- mand the money from the merchants and give them no thanks,” Mr. Wanamalier, postmaster gonoral of tho United Statos, was formerly the general sec- retary of the Philadelphia association, was for many years its president, and has always been forémost in its work for young men, He gave $100,000 to the building of the asso- ciation, and at the farewell meeting of the late international convention he said: “Among the greatest regrets of my life is the fact that I have not given more time, more money and more consceration to the work of the Young Men's Christian association,” T e oy PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS, J.

How Fowler & Beindorff are Relieved ofitin th ity Hall Work, Whether intentional or not, the counncil took the first step at the meeting on Tuesday night towards releasing Architects Fowler & Beindorft from all responsibility on their bond of 0,000 given as a guaranty that the city hall shall not exceed 450,000 i cost The action came up on a report of the com- 1 public property and buildings, ding that Contractor Coots be yi for using stone in place of galyan iron on the cornice ana battlement of the hall, at an increase over his origii contract 8,087.83, The report of the committee which adopted contained, however, this clauso: “Provided said change shall not be includea in the bonds given by the architects of §330,- 000, On the face of it this provision releases Fowler and Beiudorft from their bond and they will be none the loser if extras are tacked on that will increase the cost of the building to & half million dotlars. The fact has become known to & number of citizens and property owners who protest against the matter going through in this shape without the taxpayers knowing just whav is being done and what the results will be of the changes that have been decided upou by the council, One city oficial who has kept pretty weli posted on the progress of the work, in speak- ing of the change yesterday said: “Whether it was the intention of the coun- cil to relieve the architects from their bonds orunot I don’t know, but T think the citizens should know what the job is costing them An increase of nearly £19,000 in taxes is quite anitem, especially when added to the £50,000 that was thrown away on the old foundation. Then there is a question, too, as t) whether or not the ln'upu\ml change is a desirable on ‘The court house, which Is the best building in the United States for the money it cost, has ealvanized iron for cornices and no com’ laint has ever been made against the work There s no advautuge iu stoue cornice work, of Beatrice is at the ry and wife of Denver are at was F e et s e e e but, in fact a disadvantage, it cult to construct it so that it will not prove dangerous.’ Mayor Cushing was asked ahout tho mat- ter, and stated thatall he knew about it was what he had scen in the papers. He said: “I will have no ofticial notice of it until the contract is sent to me for approval. At the council meeting the matter was referred to the city attorney, who was instructed to pre- pare a contract. T am in favor of the chango, The city ought to have a good substantiul = building that will bea credit to it and will attract the attention of strangers, We ought to have had a mill- ion dollar city halljbut the thing has gone so far now that it will have to be_finished, It will be crowded and the city ofliciuls wiil be cramped for roomin five years just as the New Yorl city hall is now, with city officers scattered all over the city. Galvanized iron is mnot substantial. Ii begins to rust and weur out and then it is istant — source of expen ant stone cornices like thos in Chicago, where pieces are frequently drop ping out. and it is unsafe side of the street. This cl lieve the architects from thef not come in as a billof extras ordered by res- olution, but it is done by contract, just the same as that change by contract last sum- to walk on that ge will not 1e- bond.
