 men Reynolds (presiding), Feldman, Cooper
 Forbes, Beecher and Crawford
 Attorney David Strouse appeared before
 the Board and asked that Catherine Froelisch
 be released from the almshouse. She is a
 weak minded woman and the mother of three illegitimate children. It appeared from the statement that Gustave Reiderisch wanted the woman for housekeeper with view to marrying her when he shall get divorce from his present wife, who has deserted him. The question was whether the woman if re- leased would not again come back to the town for support. It was voted to refuse to release the woman on the demand of Mir Strouse, as in the opinion of the Board 1t IS not for the best interest of society. The recommendations of the Tax commit James Reilly, David Renfrew, Darling X Newell and A. l.. Swift were adopted. Edward M Tuttle petitioned for reap pointment as tender of the Qulnn1plac | bridge.

The Thesptan Clubs Festival

The Thespian clubs grand festival, which closed Monday night, netted about $500. Too much praise cannot be given to the committee for the able manner in which they discharged their duties. The successful can- didate for the club, Mir. William Merwin, was waited upon last evening by committee from the Thespian club and congratulated. The Jolly Seven, the organization who car. ried off the chair by handsome majority of 197 votes, were then waited upon and their president, MT. s. L. Holiday, congratulated all round. The success of this festival will probably be the cause of the Thespians giv. ing their friends similar opportunities for endowment.
