some planks that lay loosely on the s'ruct-

MAYOR RHoADs' CoNDIIoN.-There is
little or no improvement in the condi-
ton of Mayor Rhoads to-day and while
there is no immediate cause for alarm
his case is very critical. His physicians

anticipated should set in he has chance
of recovery. The mayor lies in condi-
ton of semi-consciousness, and suffers
but little pain. The doctors say his
skull has not been fractured but that the
brain is much infamed.--E very EUening.

"Old Maids

That electric and eloquent lecturer, the
Rev. Waldo Messaros, of Philadelphia,
spoke to a small audience in the College
Oratory on Thursday night, March 25th,
on the subject of Old Maids. He CLASH
fed them, and in this way brought to
light the good and bad characteristics of
old maids. Mr. Messaros spoke for about
an hour and ahalf and the magnetism of
his speech kept the audience in wrapt
attention, which was followed at times
by hearty applause. Peahaps no lectur-
err before the American public to-day is
entitled to more consideration than Mr.
Messaros as an orator.

The Oornet Band.

We understand, since the telephone
exchange has been moved from the first
floor to the second, in Exchange Hall,
the band was compelled to move, and
just at this time they have no place to
hold their weekly meetings. We are
sorry to hear of this, because the result
of not being able to secure a room to
hold their meetings, the organization
will eventually disband. Our citizens
should encourage the band boys, and
help them secure suitable room No
doubt, but there are plenty of vacant
rooms that could be gotten, and we hope
to see the boys suitably fixed before
long. 1t won't do to let the band dis
band, and we appeal to the citizens to
give their aid in securing suitable
room. We also state that the citizens did
not turn out at the entertainment given
for their benefit one night last week, but
hope they will give the boys a word Of
encouragement just now.
