It wu warm in the Council chamber last night. It mattered not that windows-were lowered and doors opened in an endeavor to catch a cooling breeze, it was hot all the tame, and the legislators perspired as they rattled off as quickly as possible the mass of routine business that had accumulated since the last cession. In the lobby a somewhat unusual sight was presented in the shape of half a dozen ladies, and the rumor quickly went around that they were friends of City Clerk J. M. Brady," who had corae to see how splendidly he conducted the duties of his trying office.

The rumor gained considerable strength, too, at the appearance of the City Clerk himself, for he was arrayed in an imported summer suit, and had an extra polish on his four-carat ruby. However the whisperings proved to be erratic, lor it subsequently transpired that the ladies were simply on hand to protest against some Street work in the northern part of town. The absence in the East of President Nelson compelled the appointment to the chair of one of the regular members, and on the name of George Earl being proposed it was at once seconded, and he was elected by acclamation. There was considerable applause in the lobby. The call for attention resulted in the discovery that Councilmen Pardee and Brosnahan were missing, and the minutes being read the work of the evening began.

Spnrioaa Hlf-Dollr It will not be safe for the man who is fortunate enough to handle silver to tup-pose that all tbe new half-dollars are genuine. The new coin has already been counterfeited.

The bogus coin is said to be an excellent imitation. Tbe rapidity with which tbe spurious coin made its appearance is due not to the expertness of the counterfeiter, but to the poor minting of the legitimate coin. The dies with which the coin was stamped were soft, made a buttery impression, were finally destroyed and tbe coining stopped.
