Next month the Tilden will case is to be argued for final decision before the Court of Appeals,and the public will per- haps soon learn whether New York city is to have the great free library which Mr. Tilden intended, or not. The case has been four years in the courts, the decisions so_ far being aboat evenly di- vided. Two judges of, the Supreme Court have decided in favor of the will and two against. It now goes before the Court of Appealiewith the chances in favor of a decision against the .contest- ants. There are now about $5,.000,000 to be devoted to the library in case of a favorable decision. This will enable the `executors to establish the beet library in the country. This is the outcome we all wish for, and it is to be regretted that Mr. Tilden's relatives should per- sist so long in trying to thwart his evident intentions. Even as it is they are well provided for in the will and should be satisfied. RIVALRY ALRY IN CLUBDOM. The founding of a new club in this city to be composed entirely of million- aires is exciting a great deal of comment among not only those who are eligible but those who are not. The movers in they enterprise have secured a dozenlots near the main entrance to Central Park, at 5th Avenue and 59th Street, where it is intended to erect tho finest club house in the country. A rivalry" has sprung up between the differentclubs, same time, which was after the Jesuits were xico. The Americana 'annexed' Califotnia in 1846 ; two years later the gold di covery was, made, and since then San F ancisco had made won- derful progress • r esent time, ,, at the P, 1891, it has a population of 325,000.

They are thoroughly girlish in all their gam- bols ; thoroughly iunocentlin their in- tentions. It is a treat to come across a really `girlish' girl, one who is free from the antiquated airs of an affected __post maturity ; and while it is a subject of surprise and • delight it also reminds us that in the dull steam of social in- anities that flows along by the highway of Life there are still the pure waters from nature's own clear spring, though hidden from sight by this and that which float on the surface ! EASTER SUNDAY IN THE CITY. We were in San Francisco on Ester Sunday, and went to see some of the churches, which were beautifully decor- ated. I never before saw such quan- tities of flowers ; they seemed to be heaped up in banks and scattered over everything. Grace church was a very pretty sight ; hundreds of flowers were Used in the decorations, completely cove ering the columns and fringing the woodwork along the front of the church. There was a handsome cross in the chan- cel, made of white violets embedded in a border of greens, hops and maidenhair ferns ; and wreaths ofgilly flowers a4id calla lilies were twined round the fent and the pulpit. On the choir railing of ferns and lilies, and th were featoo�a . windows were adorned with marguerite, moss and daisies. In front of the main entrance, standing against the wall, was a large cross of red wood -10 or 12 feet high—ornamented with fronds of thle marsh fern and a chain of St. Joseph lilies. At the end of each aisle were containinggrowingalms, thie boxes wood cncealemounds rough being by of La France roses. Dozens of lights illuminated the darker p its of the in- terior, giving the purple iris and the lilies a delicate, translparent appear- ance !

Buffalo Bill sailed for Europe last week from this city and on the same day a hundred Pine Ridge Indians for his ahow embarked from Philadelphia. These are some of the. Sioux Indians who were engaged in the la.te uprising against -the United States trogps. They were procured by Col. Cody from the reservations by permission of the auth- orities at Washington, and when they arrive in Europe will no doubt create an immense sensation and consequent ad- vertising for the enterprising colonel. The show will open up at Strasburgh and remain there until summer when it will go to Paris. The Colonel will have his Wild West at the World's Fair in Chicago where he has leased for the purpose twenty acres of land adjoining the fair grounds. There he will have a grand historical psgeant representing Columbus discov- ering America. Everything will be as life -like as possible, and Christopher will be vhleorned by genuine injuns.” EDWIN ARLINGTON. The Right Place To Get Suited. out the har Pyramids.'

Shelves and wooden platforms, which serve as beds, are built round the room, and there, coiled up on little bundles of dirty rags we saw the wretched opium sinstk- ers l'ying about in the various stages of semi -unconsciousness and complete pros- tration. On one side a new arrival was getting his pipe ready, carefully rolling the sticky opium on a large bodkin and heating it over a lamp flame till it soft- ened ; across the passage two or ree were reclining with their heads resting are life on straps nailed on blocks of wood, and warrio puffing clouds of vile vapor into the artists already smoke -suffused, fetid atmos- costu phere. In some places recumbent forms hilts a were stretched out full length, looking well a like so many mummies ; only their quick breathing- and the involuntary clutching of their talon -like fingers showed they were alive—but dead to all sense of sound and sight and feeling.

THE CITY IIOTELS, d heard that San Francisco was its magnificent hotels, but we dea that there was anything so the Palace Hotel. It occupies e block, and is seven stories ve the basement.. The large ourtyard is 150 feet long and 80 is roofed over with glass, and supported by iron pillars run each story ; the top one being a conservatory, where dwarf d trailing vines relieve the plain lis and balustrades.

A white table tarched to the stiffness of tin, a •f bright plated ware, and a waiter?, who is just aboit as un. this beautiful, hat which met tely on our de - of the church. iock away, was the noise and bustle •of the ordinary week day ; theatres were preparing for ,the matinee or evening performance, trains were carryiug thousands to the various resorts of pleasute, wagon loads of boisterous hoodlums clattered down the streets, and fast horses, and men and women, raced along the dusty roads bound for baseball or picnic grounds. In the afternoon we saw a crowd of nearly 5000 returning from Baker's Gardens, where they had been witnessing a bal- loon ascension. Tobacconists, fruit stores, confectioners, tailors, eyster sa- loons, bars and beer shop were open and doing a big basinees ; with many of them the receipts are larger than on any other day excepting Saturday.

In 1860-65 the principal hotel in 'Frisco was the Grand,' on Dupont -street, which was built to accommodate 300 guests ; to day it is tenanted by 2000 Chinamen.- Their shops, restaurants, theatres, joss houses, &e., are fitted up and condUcted in the same manner as thoess in the_ Flowery Kingdom ; their costumes'are the same, and the decora- tions are similar to those so lavishly dis- played in the cities and towns of China.

Sentence was suspended on the charge of threatening to shoot the constables. —It is gratifying to know that in• creased attention is a being paid to the valuable work doneby the Mechanics' Institutes in Ontario. While we had 139 of these institutes in 1887, we had 159 in 1888, 179 in1889, and 215 in 1890, an increase in their number during the last Parliament of 76 or 54 per cent. The amounts granted to these institutes were, during these years, as foliows: 1887, 26 107 ; 181 , $29,890 ; 1889, $31,428 ; 1890; $32,252. —Reports of a fodder famine in Prince Edward Island have been cor- roborated.

The fire reels and hook and ladder company were soon on the spot, and completely deluged the burning building, and in about 30 I minutes the fire was under control. The stock and building are badly injured. The efficacy of the water works in con- fining the fire saved Schumatker's hotel on the one side and the post office on the other. Mr. Maurer has an insur- ance of $1,000 on stock in the Perth Mutual, and $1,000 in the Economical.

The display will be made the occasion for a grand ceremony, which will be _at- tended by Archbishop Fabre and all the clergy of the diocese.

He immediately gave the alarm, and the whole neighborhood was aroused from its slumbers. The only fire ap- paratus the place can boast of is a hand fire engine, and that was as soon as possible put into action, but the fire had gained such headway that in spite of the efforts of the local fire brigade the buildings were completely burned to the ground. The building, plant and stock were worth about $30,000, with only $1,000 insurance in the Western on the plant. The stock was valued at about $15,000. —Last Sunday morning Mrs. Dul- mage, wife of Mr, Wm..

Even while she was being removed the ani- mal gave another vicious kick with both feet. Mrs. Dulmage was carried into the house and two doctors were sum- moned to her assistance, when it was discovered that the bones of her left cheek were crushed and her right arm and right leg and several ribs were fractured, besides several wounds on the scalp and about the body. So serious are her - injuries that recovery is doubtful. —One of the oldest and most respect - citizens of Guelph passed away on Tuesday morning of last week, in the person of Mr, A. A.
