The Board Of Health met last night. Present
Dr. Chopin, president, and quorum.
Several resolutions were adopted relative to the
duties OF the secretary and treasurer.
DR.. Austin read lengthy argument in support
Of the use Of carbolic acid, urging that its use
should be continued as a disinfectans.
The subject was discussed at some length, and
was finally decided by the adoption of the follow

The Closing Performance at Exposition
Hall.
The affluence Of people at Exposition Hall
last night was as great as on the fret evening,
aud it was again with the utmost difficulty that a
glance at the bea utiful tableaux could be OBJ
tanned by large portion of the attendants, fully
one-half OF whom did not even get that much
satisfaction. The scene in the refreshment hall
was as brilliant as one Thursday, and, besides
being great artistic success, pecuniariy consid-
cred ii has very seldom, il ever, been surpassed.
The efforts Of the ladies who conceived this
splendid entertainment and managed it with such
perfection cannot be too highly commended.
They have proved themselves once again the true
friends OF the little orphans, whose prayers in
their behalf will reach Him whose recompense
to the good and charitable is eternal life.
There were many new features at the fair
which deserve notice and praise but we were 80
dszed by the additional array Of loneliness that
we could not stop to consider them all. We may
say, however, that the display at the Anpuncia-

enhanced by the presence of group OF the most
beautiful young ladies', who, we we're happy to

| The Auditorjal Committee met ut the State
| House yesterday; a quorum present, but there

agreed upon.

from the Second judicial District COURT authoriz-
ing and ordering an investigation by an expert of

the case OF the State w. Jos. l.. Montheu, pend
ing before the Second Judicial District Court on

The order grants . new trial and authorizes

MAKE THE INVESTIGATION.
Mr.. Elliott laid the order before the committee
to obtain their sanction. which was given.
The chairman brought to the attention Of the
committee the Importance Of having

ADMINISTRATION Churci,.

We happen sometimes. like the young ladies'
from Vassar College, to have aspirations toward
the unattainable and hankerings for the ideal.
In that train Of thought we dreamt yesterday Of
enjoying the delicacy OF strawberries with cham
payne. We have had 80 many dreams that have
fitted, and SO many hopes that have been
blighted, that after the first tantalous banker
ing we concluded to drop the matter. Lo
and behold, the ladies OF Annunciation
Church have brought our dreams to reality, and
have msteralized our idealistic speculations.
Last night, between the hours OF 10 and II, q
waiter, bearing dumb waiter with the very
strawberries and champagne that We had been
dreaming OF, came into the DEMOCRAT Office and
deposits on our table the precious but sure
enough rapidly evanescent burden. The staff Of
the DEMOCRAT is sensitive on snch points, and
entertains grateful feelings towards the ladies Of
Annunciation Church.

strictly TO tho city ordinances. The boat has
been several times reported for dumping offai OF
her mooring instead Of going out into mid-stream
as should be done, but no heed has been paid to
the reports.
This NUISANCE,
u is understood, can be remedied by Admins
traitor MoCaf1rey.
To conclude, 1t IL eviden' that during our busy
season the wharf accommodation along the up
per line IL insufficient, and that new oonsiruo-
tions must be made and old ones put in bettei
order.
To-day we propose to inspect tho whsryes 10

about O'Clock in The afternoon WAS Capt. Bar

With some six or seven OF the navy and marine.
Although 1t WAS laid down

happy solution of

elapse before this good feeling is changed.
