The ENTERTAINMENT given by the commit
tee of the Peoples club at Natural History hall,
last evening, was under the direction of Rev.
w. Il Huntington, and was enjoyed by as
many people as could sit in the hall, while
many stood around the door. A Duet on the
piano by Misses Pratt and Jordan was the open
ing piece, followed by the reading of "The Exc
cution of Montrose" by Mr.. VIM. S. Davis in a
style that can hardly be excelled as all will
agree who were so fortunate as to hear him.
Other features of the entertainment were song
"Violet," by Miss Rogerson; reading eight in
Dame Europa's School," by DIR. Francis; read
ing from Pickwick, by Mr.. E. L. Davis; song
by MIS-. A. Q. Munroe; reading Tennyson's "Sir
Galahad," by Mr.. John L. Utley. Some fne
talent is coming to the surface by means of
these free readings.

this city received letter, the other day, stating
that John Moore, late of San Joaquin comfy,
California, died October, A. D. 1868, aged about
fifty years, leaving CONSIDERABLE ESTATE, which
has been fully administered upon, and no heirs
to the same have been found. He was a native
of New York city; was an orphan, and went to
Worcester, Mass, in childhood, whence he went
to California in 1849. An orphan sister is sup
posed to have gone to one of the western states
in childhood. Any information that will lead to
her whereabouts will be thankfully received by
Charles Belding, administrator of the estate of
john Moore, deceased, Stockton, Cal.
MUNICIPAL CoURT.-In the municipal court,
yesterday, Lyman Wilson, Of Princeton, was
fined 800 and costs for larceny of two cases Of
boot stock The circumstances of the theft were
peculiar; Two years ago, brother of the ac-
cuSed took the stock to make up from the store
OF Mr. S. Il. Haywood, but died before he had
finished them. This stock Lyman sold, after
the death of his brother, and the matter has Just
been traced out. He appealed, and recognized
in $500 for his appearance at the superior court.
Frank NGurse and Joseph W. Roberts were be-
fore the court for larceny from the freight cars,
and were put under $500 bonds each for further
examination next Wednesday. Henry w. Eddy

Dcction with his foundry works. Here he

lee PLAsTKRERs.-We regret to learn that
this organization, which was formerly one OF
the strongest in our city, has virtually gone to
the dogs, and that, as a matter Of course, en-
plOyers have taken advantage OF this fact and

deemed policy to make this announce ment, but
We do not believe in sailing under false colors,
and if augbt that can say or write shall be
the means Of awakening its members to a real
lzing sense Of their degraded position, our OBJ
ject will certainly have been attained. When
men who could easily have obtained a. per day
for their services agree to cut each other down
a dollar for the sake of job, The end may east
" be foreseen. Had the plssterers of Chicago
t. ken the same position while working on the
Palmer Hotel that they did while employed on
the Arcade building, they would not now be
working for 50 a day-and glad, many of then, to
get even that Employers are now making their
boasts that the have them "just where they
want to-" and that in future they propose to pay
what they odd please" without consulting
any union threat We feel perfectly satisfied
they will put in execution, and we hope they
will. When men fall as low as the plaSterers
Of Chicago have fallen, no half way measure.
will awake them. As matters now stand, the
probabilities are that $3.50 will be the pI evai-
ing wages next spring aud we are free to con-
tess that even this amount is more than a num-
Der of them ought to receive. Won't some Of
them hange places with their wives, take care
Of the pots and pans, and let their better hal yes
make the arrangement with the bosses!
