longer. The prospects are that il will be
re-opened soon under new ownership.
If, as we now hear, the Juvenile Cairo
Ministries intend to apply such money as
they secure through their performances to
the purchase of books for an "amateurc
library" the public will not withhold words
of commendation. A feature of the per-
Torrance tomorrow night, will be clog
dancing by Lally and Walsh, who kindly
volunteer to help the boys along.
Gentlemen who proposed visiting the
entertainment at Anna, have concluded not
to make the trip, because of their inability
to make satisfactory arrangement with
the railroad. 1t is claimed on their part
that herailroad will make one and one-ftth
rates for the round trip, provided party
of twenty-five was formed. The leaders in
the movement, unwilling to assume the
responsibility of saying that twenty-five
would 90 up, abandoned the matter alto,
gether.
An uptown youngster, searching, he
didn't know exactly why, among the rub
bish thrown from the court house windows
found folded sheet of paper addressed, in
a wretched scrawling hand "to Emmy body
that fines this II hav sicks hundred dolers
buried in this Town and will tax the man
that gets me out of this write to the spot
and Civ him tiv hundred Of it, mum is the
werd" From the dirty and decayed char
acterof the paper, we infer that the note was
thrown out of the jail window about the list
day of last April.
Mrs. Tisdale was greeted by a large
and intelligent audience, in the NJ. E.
church, Sunday night, and 1t is generally
agreed that sheentertaineditver handsome
ly. Her subject was industrial Schools
for Girls, and their Necessity to Society,"
Being the State lecturer for the Illinois as
ISOLATION, and, wthal, finished elocution.
ist, Mrs. T. gave her hearers an entertaining
and well-delivered discourse. 1t was such
an appeal for the friendless girl-outcast, as
, every man in Illinois should hear, repeated
at least four times year.
Mr. James Ross, recently elected to the
position of Financial Secretary Of the Cairo
Reform club, respectfully declines the in
tended honor, alleging as Il reason for his
non-acceptance, a pressure Of business du-
, ties that requires his constant attention.
f The place has now been vacant month or
, more, and unless soon filled by an active,
interested man, the club will feel financial
pressure that will seriously mar the etficlen-
cy of its work. 1t will be impossible to Sc
cure another Capt. Williams; but very re-
spectacle material is left from which a
choice can be made.
Mr. Rudy Schnell and wife celebrated
their wooden wedding last night, in the
Celia building, corner of Twentieth and
Poplar. There was goodly crowd of
friends and acquaintances present, who
with music and dancing, and the cordial
cheer of Mr. and Mrs. Schnell, enjoyed
themselves right heartily. 1t is spoken of,
indeed, as an affair most enjoyable
throughout We have not been furnished
with a list Of the presents; but the happy
t couple were not forgotten, by any means.
A rush of work which we could neither
postpone or charge to other hands inter
vened to prevent our personal attendance.
Otherwise the pressing invitation we re-
celved would have been accepted with
pleasure.
THE BULLETIN is compelled, as a
measure of self-protection, 10 cut off its
dead-heads. It's list comprises dozens of
men and societies that are abundantly able
to pay for the paper, and if we understand
:. ourselves, and we think we do, we are not
able to supply it gratuitously. If the mere
cost of the papers thus furnished, covered
the entire cost, we might possibly, carry the
: self-imposed burden; but our generosity in
that regard has operated to our disadvan.
tage otherwise. 1t is safe to say that as
many as q dozen of our subscribers dis.
continued their subscriptions with the frank
avowal that they did so because they OBJ
tanned a free reading OF the paper at places
of public resort where we had placed il
gratuitously This being the case we fee
y as above stated, constrained to "lGp Off
our dead-heads
The City Council will meet in regular
