The Argus. the Mayor and tho Patrolmen
The Argus insists that the city was not left
without police protection Saturday night. To
its word we oppose that Of Mayor Deering, who
said at the investigation, ~ have the whole
night force in the building" AT that time
when, according to the Mayor, the policemen
were in the City Building, who were patroling
the beats?
We do not, however, base orr complaint on
such testimony The facts are these: The
night force is composed OF &c men. Fourteen
OF them go on duty at 6 p NJ. These, with the
exception Of two, were ordered to report
AZ tho Office al 7.45 Saturday night, the
order requiring them to leave their beats
BY 80 or before. At o'clock the
remainder Of the night force report for service
but they were all, with one exception, retained
10 the Office that night. The first officer did
not testify until 0 o'clock, and did not get to
his beat before $50, making two hours that
three men only were on duty. From that time
forward the men were sent out after testify
ing, SO that by 1880 about eight men had been
sent out, leaving some beats exposed three
hours, and all but three OF them two hours
At 1045 the remainder OF the force that had
bean kept in the whole evening were excused
and sent to their beats. So that for two hours
from 7.30 to 9.30--but three officers were on
duty, and for three hours not halt Of them
were on duty. This was on Saturday night
the noisiest and busiest night Of the week.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
Annual Report and Election of omoers

The annual meeting of the Associated Char:
tiles was held in the City Building yesterday
afternoon, President Loring in the chair. The
Secretary read ais annual report, which was
substantially as follows;
sEoRETKRy's REPORT.
At the close of the third year OF tho Asso-
ciated Charities, the managers, through their
secretary, make the following report:
since December LIST, the room Of the society
has been open. and the secretary in attendance
daily, TO receive and furnish Information re-
specting applicants for charity. Sixty-one
cases have been reported for investigation, and
have received prompt attention from the visit
or, and such relief as seemed needed, while
several impostures have been detected and
published.
The fortnightly conferences, whore all cases
are reported and discussed have been well at
tended, and have added much to the eftcieney
OF the society, by giving 70 each visitor the
Dement'S OF the judgment and the experience Oh
oil.
The secretary 81 the Overseers OF the Poor,
the agent OF the Provident Association, the
truant officer, the Samaritan Association and
the Diet Mission have cordially co-operated az
IN former years, In carrying out the oplects, Oh
the organization: And we would especially
recognize the aid received from the Woman y
christian temperance Union, whose officers
have the skill and success in dealing with tnat
most unhappy class. the drinking poor, when
only long experience can give. Through their
agency, several children have been rescued
from lives of the lowest degradation and inev-
table vice; and In the Orphan Asylum and Luz
dnstrial School are given fair chance. The
ladies' OF the work-room committee, with their
volunteer assistants, have continued their
work through the winter. Twenty women
have been supplied with sewing regularly, re-
ceiving about $40 each, which, IA " 10 no way
interferes with other labors, Is valuable addi-
ton TO their slender incomes.
Many men and women, who, at the begin
ming OF the hard winter, had no prospect Of
work, have, through this agency, obtained odd
Jobs, and, Ia several Instances, regular ems
pioymeht.
A comparison of the work accomplished
this year by tho Associated Charities with that
OF tho preceding years, gives to It's officers and
contributors the encouragement that ths time
and money devoted TO II have not been thrown
away.

troupe-I. w. Baird's Mammoth Minstrels--
drew full house at Music Hall last evening.
Unlike most companies Of the kind, the per
Torrance went far ahead Of the advertisement
which argues well for the success with which
the company is meeting. The frat part OF the
programme was really musical gem, the
sweet melodies of which were intHrsrarsesi
with happy jokes and witicisms by the ten. end
men, who introduced some bran new comm
drums and kept the hoase III one continuous
giggle. The sketches were new aud ii vely,
and we're recsiysd with rounds Of applause.
The dancing Of the Midget Four on each
others heads-whieh surpasses anything Of
the kind We have ever seen. Each number on
the bill was faithfully presented and admira-
bly, rendered. Mr.. Baird has thirty-dve people
each one a bright star in hts particular line.
The band concerts excel anything OF the kind
on the road; while the whole entertainment
may DO justly termed the par excellence Of re-
fined minstrssy.
