The order for NJ. Andree's balloon,
with which he will attempt to reach
the North Pole, has, says the Paris
Temps, been given to NJ. lachambre:
the balloon maker, whose workshops
are at Vaugirard.
The price decided upon is $1,000
francs. Several additions have been
introduced into the first plan OF the
balloon, in consequence of CONSUL
tation between NJ. Eckholm and M.
Renard, manager of the aerostatic es-
tablishment Of Chaliss-Meudon
This aeronaut has been authorized to
place his great experience at the dis
posal of the Swedish expedition. 1t is
probable that he will himself appoint
the expert who is to superintend the
making of the balloon in the case Of
such work as cutting the silk, var

used agrees with the sample shown.

Ada Van Eta In ''GlOriana."


Miss Ada Van Eta, beautiful
young lady, will appear at the opera
house on Saturday evening, Jan. 25,
in James Mortimer's charming come
dy, "Gloriana." Miss Van Eta will
be remembered as the young lady
who created the leading comedy role
in the New York production of jose
phine for "Mme Rhea." She also
created the leading comedv role in
the "Lyons Mouth" for Frederick
Warde, has appeared with nearly all
the leading actors of today and now
appears at the head of her own CON-
pany, which is claimed to be among
the best entour. Miss Van Eta
plays the part Of "Gloriana," a
charming widow, equal to any one
ever seen in the part; in fact the crit
les claim she is superior to others
who have been seen in this particular
part. Miss Van Etta's company is an
excellant one. and includes J. w.
Davenport, Garrison Ball, Victor
Morely, an English actor brought to
this country especially to play the
part of Spinks for Miss Van Eta, Al
fred Leslie, Geo. L. Stout, Katheryne
Carlysle, Florence Hastings and lit
tie Mona, who opens the second act
with her child specialties. The per-
formance as given by Miss Van Eta
and her company is a most enjoy
able one.

fair to let such items Offset the sl6.50

e fn addition US this there are q
number of cases where collections
were made by Mi. Tibbetts or work
was done in which we could not agree
with him as to the amount to be al
lowed the Villag They are as fol-
lows:
First Water was put into the pro-
perty of A. Wickman in which Mr..
Tibbetts now lives at cost to Mr..
Wickman of $25.15. Mr.. Tibbetts
admits that he should pay the Will
age $3.50 on this. Your committee
can see no reason why it should not
all he paid to the Village.
Second-F. F. Cross paid $27.62 for
water connection at his home. The
books show but $3.50 as received by
the Village. which MIR. Tibbetts
: claims is correct and the balance of
$l0.12 was paid for extra digging
and pipe, and shows that about that
time June 18th, 1895, he paid 500
to A. Kali which he assumes was
paid on this job for extra digging,
although this is not positively shown,
yet your committee is willing to ac-
cept the statement as regards the
500 payment but claim that the
Village is then entitled to the bal
ance, being $3.12, for pipe and fit-
tings used. Your committee would
state in this connection that Mr.. Tib-
belts claims that all pipe used for
these extra jobs was furnished by
him. We find, however, that Mr..
Tibbetts did not carry a stock of
pipe himself outside of that owned
by the Village, but that when Will
age pipe was not used it was borrow
ed from dealer and returned from
pipe belonging to the Village.
Third-Samuel Allen on Dec. 31st,
1894, paid $21. for water used in
erecting the Cowan & Lewis build
ings. This Mr.. Tibbetts admits hav-
ing received but claims that as there
was during that year more money
paid to the Recorder than is shown
by the water Ledger the above
amount was probably included in
that. ..sr>
it appears that this surplus
amounted to s7s.56 in first qnarter
of 1896, but that during the year
from April 1st, 1894 to April LIST,
1896, such surplus was only $3.50.
This including the above named first
quarter of 1896, and in view of the
fact that there were unquestionably
more or less transient water receipts
during the year that are not shown

pared at Spitzberg, has a gross as
cending power of 5000 kilogrammes.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the
material to be raised weighs 1900 kill
ogrammes. Included in this is the
balloon envelope, weighing 1000 Kill
ogrammes. the net weighing 1000 Kill
ogrammes, and the remaining weight
is represented by the car, the sails,
the guide ropes, etc. The passen-
gers ascensions for the purpose of
studying questions connected with
the rigging and the maneuvers, will
be made in Paris during April and
May until the time arrives tor the
expedition to start.
