ODDS AND ENDS,

Postmaster Ankeny arrived home
from his two weeks trip East yester
day, and he laughed when reference
was made to his interview with the
Daily News reporter while in Chicago.
"Why," said he, "s0me young fellow
came in to see Postmaster Judd while l
was there and he said: 'Fve got moth
ing for you reporters. You've ma
ligned me enough already, so I've got
nothing to say to YOU The reporter
asked who was, but said nothing to
me, and shortly afterwards backed
out. That was all there was to it,"
Speaking of the fast mail matter, he
said: 1.-The fast mail leaving New
York at O'Clock p. m. reaches Albany,
a distance of 145 miles, at 80 a. M;
here it connects with the train from
Boston, which leaves that city at $50 p.
In. The distance from New York to
Chicago is 9S3 miles. So the train leav-
ing New York at p. III. is due at Chi
cago at IL :45 a. m. the second morning
after its start, being twenty-eight hours
and forty-five minutes on the road,
an average in running time
of thirty-four miles per hour. At
Chicago the immense lot of mail matter
has to be transported from one depot to
the other, distance of 232 rods. 1t
takes on an average abOnt seven large
wagon loads of mail or SIX tons to be
transferred. This requires about one
and three-fourth hours to accomplish.
Add this to the hour of arrival-12:45-
and it's 80 before the train could be
ready to start. AS this Eastern train is
frequently late ten or fifteen minutes,
the hour of departure has been put at
Sam. st is great injustice to the
department, said Mr.. Ankenny ''to say
that the train is held to please the big
daiIies. l don't believe word of that,
i'm fact l have satisfied myself by per-
sonal inquiry into the matter
that it is not so. l may
say, however, without disclosing

Hurrying Up a Court.

Aid. Mills introduced a motion urg-
ing that the supreme court be asked to
take speedy action relative to the suit
brought by the city to compel the low
ering of railroad tracks on Fourth ave-
hue north at the intersection of WASH
ington avenue, Third, Fourth and Fifth
streets. Aid. E. NJ. johnson approved
this motion. He said he considered it
unprecedented and indiscreet to petit
ton the court to hasten its action. He
wanted the city attorney to give his
opinion, but as Aid. Mills objected,
moved to table the resolution. This
was lost, as was motion to adopt the
resolution, by a vote of IL to IL, Aids.
Hanscom and L'Herault voting with
the Republicans.
The lengthy report of the committee
on rules, which was a special order OF
business, was taken up, but half
hours wrangle over the first rule be-
tween Aids. Dwyer and COnley, was
sufficient to satisfy the council, and the
report was recommitted to be taken up
at some future meeting.
Assessor Case kicked for larger
room, and Building Inspector Bauman
wanted permission to store his building
permits in the city clerks vault. Meat
Inspector Mea wanted the council to
buy him microscope, but his request
was refused by vote of 80 tO2.
Plats of p. G. Deming'S revision OF
block 3, in East Side addition, and
LOwry's Encouragement of lots A, B, NJ,
N and p, Groveland addition, were ap-
proved.
The fire limits ordinance was given
its second reading. The ordinance ex-
tends the limits so as to include the
territory lying inside of Eighth avenue
south and Tenth street south.
James Peterson and III. S. HOlcomb
were granted liquor licenses. Nc
Donagh u Hoskins were granted a
plumbers license.
The budget of bills amounted to SOL
52O.13.
The city engineer was instructed to
define the lines on Washington avenue,
Third, Fourth and Fifth streets, on
Fourth avenue north, and the city at
tOrney was instructed to notify rail
roads to remove distractions and pro-
vide suitable sidewalks thereon.
Twenty-Five copies of the new city
directory are to be purchased for the
use of city departments.
One thousand copies of the new build
ing ordinance are to be printed for dis
trlbution among the architects and
builders.

A WOMAN IN THE CASE.
EmbezZlement of Money by a
WeIl-knOWn Clerk.

An enlightenment case, which, when
made public. will furnish decidedly sem
sational reading. is being worked up by
the police, and the trap will probably be
sprung in very few days. The case is
of peculiar nature and involves clerk
in a well-known store and woman
whose name is not unfamiliar to the
prominent people of Minneapolis.
1t seems that the young man is trusted
employee of big wholesale firm and for
some months past has been collecting
money for the firm which he has failed
to turn over. The woman in the case is
known to be great friend of the young
man, and it is said that she has been
aware of his populations, and has even
taken some of the money. The young
man has left the city and is in CORE
spondence with the woman. The police
know where he is, and if things turn
out all right, he will be arrested in
01V or so.

Bassett's creek; the health officer de-
MED positively ever authorizing any such
dumping, and had relied upon his in
spectors to see to it that it was
not done after he had forbid
den it. The committee volunteered
its belief that "the present health officer
is honestly working as well as he can to
make the city as clearly and healthy as
possible, and is not personally to blame
for some things charged to him."
The committee, in reply to the re-
quest of the board of trade that 81, 1000
be appropriated to be expended by a
committee of three citizens and Prof.
w. w. Fol well in looking up the best
means for improving the sanitary con-
dition of the city, stated that it was
making an investigation at nominal
cost to the city that would probably be
satisfactory to all concerned.

SOCIAL FINDINGS,

The pupils at the Bennett seminary gave
an entertainment in the school room last
night. 1t was largely attended by the resi-
dents in the neighborhood.
There was large attendance last night at
the rehearsal of the opera by Millocker, THE
Maid of Belleville,' in the Dyer Music hall
The cast, which is nearly completed has
been selected with great care, and this I'M
doubleday will be the finest amateur per-
Torrance ever given in the. city.
The donkey party for the benefit of the
Homeopathic hospital given last night at the
residence of Mrs. C. A. Dolliver. 14l6 Chi
cago avenue. under the auspices of the La
dies Aid society, was an immense success.
There were barrels of fun and everybody had
rare good time. while the hospital received
quite an addition to it's exchequer.
The German club gave their last dance
this season in Malcolm's hall last night. 1t
was in the earlier part of the evening in the
nature of masquerade. but after 10 O'Clock
the masks were removed. The attendance
was not very large, and composed
only of the members of the club
who pretend to be very exclusive
and railways hold this dance with closed
doors, certainly the only club in the city
which does such thingin public hall. The
young men are so scared that their parents
will know they nave been to dance, they
absolutely refuse to have their names printed
in the papers, and trepidation seems to
seize upon them at the sight of a reporter.
DanZ's orchestra supplied these gay and aw-
fully nice young men and maidens with
music to trip the light fantastic step from
early eve to dewy morn.
The marriage of Ina E. Thompson and
Henry L. Steinhauser took place Thursday

Ethelbert Bair, printer about
twenty-five years Of age, residing down
OIL University avenue southeast, walked
into the Central police station in Chica-
go Thursday morning and, announcing
who he was, said that he had been
guilty of forging checks in Minneapolis,
and wanted to give himself up. He
was taken care of, and a telegram was
sent TO Supt. Helm here in relation to
the matter. Yesterday morning the
case was looked up and it was found
that Bair had, about three weeks ago,
forged two checks for So which he
passed on the Plymouth clothing house.
That firm now declines to prosecute,
and it is not likely that Bair will be
brought back here. He may be taken

own statement, he forged a check for
$2l5. His object was, he said, to ''see

The effort of the department has been,
and will be, to give the best possible

dancers of THE Arabian Nights" to be
seen at the Grand opera house next
week, is one Of the famous Gaufrette
family. Singularly enough she re-
ceived her education in the art of dane
ing in this country. Mile. Dorst's
father was one of the most celebrated
horsemen in Europe. and up to her
twelfth year she appeared as bare
back rider in the principal circuseS of
France, Germany and England. In
1868 she came to this country with her
father, and was placed under the in
struction of Nine. MOrlachi. A year or
two later she married the owner of the
famous ClodOche troupe, and returned
with him to Paris. Her husband eStab
lished theater in that city. and it was
there the can-can was first produced,
Mile. Dorst being the original dancer.
She was the rage in Paris for five years.
At the conclusion of that time her
husband died, and she travelled through
Europe. In st. Petersburg she was in
vited by the car to participate in the
Ke rmese given annually in that city for
the benefit of the poor. At the con-
clusion of the weeks engagement the
