THE POLICE CoMMIssIoNERs.-The
gentlemen chosen by the City Council
last night to form the Board of Police
Commissioners are admitted by all to be
the right men in the right places. They
are representative men, of practical
business experience, and it can be truly
said the positions sought them, not
they the positions. This observation
is, of course, not intended to cast disfa-
vor upon others who were voted for
and would doubtless have proven as
equal TO the occasion as those who
were chosen, some of them being OF the
stock which go to make faithful and Ell
ficient public servants. Mr.. Noble
Lindsey, who was elected commissioner
from the First ward, is one of the lead
ing merchants of the city, and foremost
in all movements for the aggrandlse
ment of Alexandria. He is conserya-
tive and practical in his views. and will
prove efficient in his new position. Mr..
Lindsey was member of the last City
Council, having represented the First
ward in the Board of Aldermen. Elk
Mayor II. Strauss, who is to represent
the Second ward, will, of course, prove
as efficient and trustworthy in his new
position as he has in the more RESPONSE
BILE positions he has held under the
city's government during the past fit
teen years. His past record is all that
need be used in his favor. Capt. Her
bert Bryant, elected from the Third
ward, is gentleman of executive abil-
ity, and will be sat home" in the du-
tiss of commissioner. He for years
was member of the Board of Alder
men from the Third ward, and during
his term of service was chairman of the
committee on streets and considerable
of the street improvements has been
done under his personal supervision.
Mr.. J. F. Tackett, the Fourth ward
commissioner, makes his debut as a
public servant. He is prominent
King street merchant, gentleman
keenly alive to the requirements of
the position, and will prove an active
and efficient member of the board. The
board will meet in short time to or
ganize. 1t is also understood that the
City Council will pass an ordinance
authorizing the commissioners to adopt
rules governing the police force.

and between the dances Landlord
Chase served one of his excellent ban
quets at the St. Johnsbury House.
The decorations were furnished by
Mr.. Beals of Boston and were much
admired. On the stage were coils of
hose with their nozzles crossing each
other and as background the Ave-
nue. House, first as it looks now and
then as on fire, was shown. Flags,
bunting and other decorations GOV
cred the walls Of the Opera House.
The dance programmes were very

Of facts and figures that every one

erence and final appeal all over the
land. Besides all this the Almanac
contains statistics of coinage, circu.
latlon, foreign trade, elections, pop.

divorce, marriage, sports, legal holi.

nent societies in the United States are

]. n. O. 4. NOTES.

The first OF the series of Members
Entertainments" which are TO be Civ
en- at the Y. M. c. A. took place last
Saturday evening. The hall in the
association building was full and
everybody apparently thoroughly
enjoyed the evening. Grilly, thepop-
ular Boston Humorist, was enthusl-
astically received and each number
given received an encore. His selec-
tions were well made and equally
well given. His rendering of the
Grave digger's scene from Hamlet"
was especially fine. Walter Cotton,
the vioIinist who took Mrs. Kim.
balls place on the programme, cap
tured the audience by his playing and
proved himself "a master of the in
? strument. The local people who as
sisted were Mrs. H. A. Stanley, plan
ist, ]. w. Batchelder, cornetist, and
Frank b. Harris, accompanist. They
were all at their best and did their
share towards making the entertain
ment success. The committee in
charge Of the affair are to be congrat-
ulated. 1t is the intention of the
committee to give a series of four en-
tainments this one being the first.
The first Of the series of mems
meetings which are to be held in
Music Hall under the auspices of the
Young Mems Christian Association
took place last Sunday. The meet
ing was largely attended and Of
great interest Hon. Elkanah Drake
ofNewark, N. E. was the speaker and
his plain, earnest talk could not fail
to make an impression. Walter Cot
ton, the Boston violinist, was present
and rendered wo selections in most |
impressive manner. Next Sundays
meeting promises to be equally as iu
teresting. The committee has been
fortunate in securing c. W. Dietrich
OF Stamford, Conn, to speak. Mr..
Dietrich was few years ago prom
incnt young business man of Troy,
N. y. He became intensely interest
ed in Association work and on his
receiving a unanimous call to the
sccretaryship of the Stamford Y. M.
{. A., sold out his business and went
there and is considered to-day one of
the most successful secretaries in the
country. He is a most interesting
speaker and fine singer. The Ma
hogany Quartette have been secured
TO sing and this fact alone will no
doubt bring out full house as this
quartette seems to be ever popular.
The earnest endeavors that the COM
are putting forth to make
these meetings of great interest
should be rewarded by large at.
tendance on Sunday.
