Captain Eisenminger, of the Cadets, is de.
| sirous of taking his full company into car.r
next week. He says they will have the best
possible care and attention. Parents need
entertain no fears with regard to the safety
OF their boyr. They will be under no expense

Allusion has been made TO the fact that tbs

OF recent fire. The matter is fully ex.
planned as the result of an accident, through
which some metal roofers on the Orleans
building detached the gong wire and thereby
prevented the signal from being transmitted
to the gong at the Water Works.
BUILDING IMPROVEMENT During the past
three weeks the Calvary Baptist Church of
this city has been closed for general repairs
and improvements. The walls have been

painted throughout, renovated, and the pews
upholstered. New carpets have been placed
on the platform and in the vestibule new
pulpit furniture has been purchased and extra
sittinRs put In to accommodate the increas-
ing congregation. This thorough renovation
has been so far accomplished as to provide
TOR services tomorrow, though the more
formal services for rededication will occur one
week later, when all will be complete.
