A DRAINAGE COMM SsIoN.
Alderman Cams Ordinance Creating
the New Board.

Alderman Cams Ordinance Creating
the New Board.
Alderman Cann's ordinance, offered at
the last meeting Of the city council, Gre
ating drainage commission is one of the
most important measures ever presented to
the board. 1t provides for the commission
to consist of both me mbers of council and
citizens. whose duty it shall be TO look after
all matters pertaining to house drainage.
Alderman Cam said yesterday that the
reason he offered the ordinance is that he
wants to have the house drainage question
put into the hands of parties not connected
with other co nmittees of council, and if the
work is not done properly the council will
know where to put the blame
He said that when DIR. Falligant was in
council and had charge of the work there
was always a clash between him and the
chairman of the street and lane committee
as to who had the right to lay pipes. Each
claimed the right TO do the work, aud con-
sequently there was never any satisfaction.
1t is to avoid this state of affairs that the
ordinance was offered. The number that
will constitute the commission has been left
blank, to be filed In at tho next meeting,
when the ordinance will come up on its
second reading.

POLLY PUT UNDER ARREST.
A Ccasta5le's Lively Chass. After
FugitiVe Parrot

Fugitive Parrot
A green speckled parrot having an
unusual knowledge Of the English language
escaped from saloon last night, and the
amount of grief and anxiety caused by
Polly's loos compelled the owner of the bird
to retire to his bed with his head enveloped
a wet rag.
Mrs. Parrot was locked up in a cage that
was supposed to be secure, but when the
bird awoke from its evening nap and
found the door OF his prison wide OPEN it
was struck with the splendor of single
thought, and Immediately Topped its wings
and flew away
The bird was evidently delighted at re-
gaining its liberty in such an unexpected
manner, having been in solitary confine-
ment and fed on hard tack since the day it
landed at Castle Garden from the old couu-
try, and the more it saw of the city the
further it few. 1t scared gayly over house
tops and chimneys, and finally landed
about a quarter of a mile from its old
quarters
When the owner Of the parrot discovered
its fight there ensued regular cat and
parrot scene. He was an lrishman and be
showed his Irish" on the occasion. Search
was made in every nook and corner of the
neighborhood, but the gay and festive par
rot was non est
by the murtherin' gowds, where is my
parrotp roared out the owner of the bird
OF paradise. His remark created a general
laugh, but the Irishmau was not going ''to
be forgotten by the Senate and bullied by
Tully"
'Iknow what I'll do" said the detected
Irishman. "pll 90 and get q constable to
hunt up my parrot" and, true to his word,
the owner of the parrot started off to get
constable to arrest the wicked Polly.
Constable James Sullivan responded to
the call, and, armed with an attachment for
the bird, made long search in quest of it
he examined all the paths and and byways
of the city with an eager eye, in search of
the missing feathered OBJECT, The parrot
was finally located in the Hebrew synagogue
on Broughton street. The constable had no
knowledge of the Hebrew tongue, but he
walked up the steps and commanded the
parrot to consider itself under arrest. The
parrots only remark to the constable was:
"Hello, therel"
Hello" said the arresting officer, you're
my prisoner"
The prisoner" made great deal of
noise, and strongly protested against being
placed under arrest. It could "cuss" pretty
well in United States language, and
it did not let the opportunity slide by with
out raising its sonorous voice in eloquent
cadences upon the unmitigated outrage.
Polly was finally brought back to her
owner, whose face was wreathed in smiles
upon seeing the pride of his heart once
more in captivity.
"Now, you little villain" said the Irish
man to the parrot, you'll never get a chance
to walk off again"
The parrot was put back in its cage,
placed under lock and key, and big beer
key placed over the whole.

DR.. Lafterty's lecture.

DR.. J. j. Laffsrty Of Richmond, Va, will
lecture in Wesley Monumental church
Tuesday night, on "Old Times and New"
DIR. Laferty has a reputation as humor-
Gus lecturer second to none Of the popular
lecturers Of the day. His humor is highly
contagious and soon he has his audience car
ried away with his flights Of eloquence and
sallies of wit. Wherever he has spoken
there is always demand for his return as
soon as his engagements will
permit second lecture. He
is said to be not one of the extravagant and
unnatural speakers who deal out glass of
so-called humor to the disgust of all intelli-
gent and refined audiences, but he is a sins
pie and natural speaker, whose giant re-
marks flow from Elm as naturally as water
runs down hill. Every word that falls from
his lips is pure and chaste. His humor is
laughter-provoking, but it Is at the
same time elevated and refined. His jokes
are as well suited to the drawtng-room as to
the platform. Ladies always enjoy his lect-
ures, and in every city where he has spoken a
large proportion of his audience has always
been ladies. There will no doubt be large
audience to greet the distinguished visitor in
