 AS United Church Chapel
 A most delightful entertainment was given at the United church chapel last evening in behalf of the Christian Endeavor society and the mission circle. An appreciative audience 6lled the chapel. The entertainment cons sisted of Christmas cantsta entitled "Santa Claus Home, or the Christmas Excursion" !" The various parts were we'll sustained by Aessrs. R. J. Miner, E. l.. DeForest, E. B. J. B. Mcqueen, Misses L. E. Morse, May Fenn, Edith DeForest, Grace Perkins, Lila Brooks, May Pendleton, May Potter and Arthur Mcqueen. In the first part of the is worthy of special mention. In part second Miss 0. A. Richardson was very pleasing in her solo, and MT. E. B. Murray rendered his solo with good effect. In part three Santa Claus introduced his wonderful and beautiful picture, which moved it's head and sang 8 beautiful solo. This was represented by Mrs. W. R Downs. A duet by Miss Foster and Miss Prescott was greatly enjoyed, as well as was the solo of MT. F. A. Smith. The finale "Good Night, Dear Friend" consisted of chorus and solo by Mrs. Downs. This was sung in her best manner and was heartily ap- plauded. The rendition of the different parts showed careIul preparation.
 CAMPBELL WON'T RUN. He Probably Sees That Thomas suI- draws.
 There is again turmoil in the Democratic ranks. MT. F. Campbell, the caucus nomi- nee for commissioner of the board of public works, sent letter to Chairman Clerkin of the caucuss, announcing that he will not be a candidate. When seen MT. Campbell refused to give any reason or reasons for his step. A Democrat said last night: 'I think Mir. Campbell fancies he will be defeated, and he does not want to stand up and be knocked down by his own party. MT. Sheehan, the caucus nominee for the board of finance, WAS defeated by the followers of the Sullivan-Mc- Gam heelers, and the latter, with the aid of elected their man. Now when the time, which is near at hand, comes for voting for representative on the board of public works the adhereDts of ''Tommy" Sul- livan can secure the assistance of enough Re publicans to defeat the regular Democratic caucus nominee and elect Sullivan. It is well known that Sullivan would stop at noth- ing to gratify his overweening ambition by being On this board. He is bright and cap able man, and can do plenty of engineering on this board and also make it unpleasant for City Engineer Hill by his attacks on him. Campbell has probably heard that Sullivan has his wires sll laid to get there. The latter defeated Sheehan because he did not fall in with his willy scheme, and now Campbells head would have come off"
 The Democratic aldermen will held a meet ing tonight to nominate someone else for that position. The big four will probably not be there unless the other aldermen con- sent to come over to Sullivan.
