''THAT Boy TOMMY "A pleasant little COM
edy with the above title, will be the chief fea-
ture of the entertainment to be given at City
Hall on Monday evening, by the pupils of the
High School for the benefit of the new Refer
ence Library. 1t is the joint production of five
members of the school, and is sparkling and
humorous, with plenty of nice bits of stage
business to give it additional vivacity. Its
scope is to present some Of the points in pro-
gressive American Society, and its presenta-
ton will be enjoyed by the public, we have no
doubt. The comedy will be preceded by music
and declarations. Chambers Orchestra of
ten pieces has been engaged for the occasion.
SOME excitement was created yesterday af
ternoon in the vicinity of public house close
by City Hall, by the forcble election by the
landlord of one of his Irish "help," whom he
had discharged. But the woman claimed that
more pay was due her, and it required all the
landlords strength to effect his purpose; and he
is not an infant in size and strength. The fe-
male lifted her feet higher than agrees with
strict courtesy and went through motions with
both hands like turning hand-organ, while
the organs of speech were actively employed in
heapins vituperations on the head of the blush
ing landlord. 1t was cruel scene, and the po-
lice put stop to it by arresting the woman.

THE PILGRIMS AND Mrs. JARLEY.-The
second rendering of the Pilgrims at City Hall
last night was equally successful with the first
although the audience was somewhat smaller
There was some change in the personnel of the
piece, but the parts were well sustained, and
the choruses very spirited. Mrs. Jarley's Wax
Works are always a marked and deserved fav-
orite. The "show" is capable of assuming an
almost indefinite variety of features. The
number brought ON the stage last evening was
very large, and all were excellently costumed
some of the dresses being unusually elegant.
The characters were chiefly the invention of
the talented Mrs. farley the proprietress, who
gave her amused audience an original and de-
cidedly witty 'history" to each of her figures
and attributed some of her disappointments to
the Maine Central and other local causes
Most of the scenes were received with bolster
GUS mirth and the favored show-woman won
much praise for her pleasant entertainment.
AT the close of the scenes the actors on the
stage spent two hours in pleasant social inter
course in the Reception Room, where an ele-
giant supper was provided by the ladies of the
Guild under whose auspices the entertainment
were got up We hope they have reaped salts
factory results for the energy and good taste
displayed in their efforts to amuse the public.
