Last evening at about o'clock,

Sabbath School of the First Presbyter-

from there proceeded to the residence
of their pastor, completely surprising

pleasant evening was spent in social
interccnr rsc and song, and in partaking
Of tbs refreshments liberally provided
by the guests. Before the company
separated, Rev. B. +. Jackson, on be-
half of the church, and ia few appro-
pirate words, presented Mr.. Duval with
a sealed envelope, containing the sum
of $46 Mr.. Duvsl responded by ex-
pressing not only his thanks for the

for the love and kindness which his
church had ever shown towards him,
and he felt that the greatest desire of
his heart was to become the pastor of
such a people. At about IL o'clock,
the gathering separated not only pleas

Of composition combining all the pathos

brought out the trne side Of native lite

The rich vein Of humor sparkling onthe

the pigeons flying to and fro and
drinking from the brimming bucket,
the flowers with opening blossoms; the
blacksmith shop with its forge and an

prac,iced hand Of the Kerry Cow, all
gave the presentation genuinensss that
added materially to tie proper appre-

between tho Members and the

| The Board Of Kidcstion met in rsgu.
ar session last evening. President
Ecksl in the chair.
A new stove has been placed in ths
room since the last meeting, and, this
stove not only heated the room to suf-
location but also generated gas enough
to supply dozen Boards.
All through the evening fault was
found with the sove and although the
members discussed, they cut it re-
markably short and an early adjourn
ment was the result.
In response to resolution offered
~ DR.. Grimshaw at former meeting,
a communication was read from H. c.
Rodgers, Deputy Commissioner Of the
Treasury Department at Washington,
stating that checks drawn by the
Treasurer Of the Board on the Boards
deposit in Bank did not require the
usual two cent stamp.
Col. Heisler moved that the commit
tee on No. 10 be authorized to repair
the heating apparatus at that school,
and that they be privileged to use ths
portable one lately in use at the Board
room.
On motion of Mr.. Baird the question
was divided and the first part allowing
the committee $50 was adopted.
On the second part Col. Heisler rose
to speak and while he was arguing on
that point Baliff Daily walked over to
the stove to make some alteration in
the draft, DR.. Grimshaw rose and
interrupting Col. Heisler appealed to
the Bailiff "for Gods sake don't let
that gas out here," for said he ~ do
not wish to inhale It," As the Doctor
took his seat Colonel Heisler who ap.
peared to be in doubt on the subject
asked the Doctor whether he meant him
or the stove. The Doctor didn't ex-
plain and the Col. proceeded with his
argument. The motion was lost only
two voting in its favor.
DR.. Shortlodge stated that he had
learned that in several of the schools
the rule in regard to recess was not OBJ
served and he offered resolut ton that
the Superintendent be instructed to no
tify the teachers that section 8. re-
garding intermissions, must be strictly
observed.
Mr.. Lal!y as a member of the COM
mittee to inquire what rooms could be
rented for at old No. 13 school on Pine
street between Fifth and Sixth, repor-
ted that the rooms could be rented for
$3.50 per annum per room and he
moved that the Board rent two rooms,
and finally upon motion of DR.. Short.
lidge the whole matter was laid over
for two weeks.
An order was drawn for $163 in favor
of Finn & Jackson.
Previous to adjournment, DR.. Short
lidge referred to the fact that he had
received the notice for the special meet
ing on Wednesday evening last by
mail and wanted to know who paid for
the stamps to send these notices through
the mail.
Bailitf Daily informed him that he
furnished tho stamps and paid for them

HIS HONOR'S LEyEE,
A variety Of Cases Mt Police Court
Last Evening.

A~Ss GVCuA0ks
Last nights session of Police Cour
was rather long drawn out. In th,
first case the very small boy prsdomi
mated BY a terrible majority.
James Shields, John Campbell and
John Glenn, all boys, tho last named a
regular midget, stood up in a row
against the dock railing, while Mr..
Thomas Budd, residing at No. lib W.
Third street, gave the court few Incl.
dents, illustrating the depravity Of the
three. He had separated Shields and
Campbell who were fighting near his
door step and Shields threw stone at
him.
Several witnesses for the defence
were examined and one Of them who
stated that he was just square away
from the spot told all about the affair,
and repeated the conversation between
Mr.. Budd and Shields with an accuracy
that throws the telephone into the
shade. There didn't appear to be much
evidence against Campbell and Glenn,
and they were discharged. His Honor
held Shields in 500 bail to keep
thu peace.
John Jordan the next prisoner was
told by His Honor that the charge
against him was drunkenness, and
asked him if that was correct. "Indeed
don't know yer Honor" replied John
and officer Gotschner had to b. sworn
in order to convince John that he really
was full. so cents and cost was the
penalty.
Lizzie Stewart and Annie Leo, both
white, were next given a hearing on
the charge of assaulting Thomas
Daisley, in disreputable house, over
Market street bridge. The evidence
revealed a state Of moral degradation de-
cidedly low all round, and the women
were held in 800 each to keep the
peace.
An old woman who had taken drop
too much, smilingly acknowledged the
fact, and was fined fifty cents and costs.
In the wind up of the series chap
who had got gloriously full, and wan
ted to arrest somebody, and a deaf
and dumb man, who proved to be pro-
fessional beggar, figured as principals.
The former was discharged and the lat
ter given twenty four hours to skip
the town.
