AN EXCELLENT CONCERT.

Was Decidedly Successful.

Sparkling and captivating was the quail

of his talented musicians. There was a
large attendance, including the best people

their appreciation of the pleasant evenings IS

repetitions of the various numbers rem

PAWTUCKET DISPENSARY.
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ORGAN
LZATION HELD YESTERDAY.
City Council to Be Askud to Appropriate $500
to Carry on the Good Work.

The annual meeting ct
Dispensary was held yesterday afternoon,
President Bella p. Clapp i'm the chair The
report of Everett p. Carpenter, treasurer
of the Dispensary showed deficit of
s121.65. The reports of the apothecaries
were referred to the executive committee
and the attending physician. The report
developed the fact that 64S prescriptions
had been compounded at a cost of S144.O3.
The committee, appointed several years
ago to ask for an appropriation for the
continuance OF the work, reported that
nothing had been done as the City Solicitor
was of the opinion that the Council could
do nothing legally In the matter, and the
matter had been allowed to rest. In re-
ceiving the report the committee was in
structed to apply for an appropriation
of $500.
A discussion on ways and means fol-
lowed and various plans were suggested.
DIR. III. 0. True, attending physician, was
not prepared with written report, but
made a verbal statement which showed
the business of the society for the past
year to be about the same in volume as
usually done, with possibly a few more
cases recommended by the Associated
Charities.
The election of officers followed and re-
suited as follows: Board of Managers,
Bella p. Clapp, Everett p. Carpenter, James
Nisbet, Hiram A. Briggs, John p. Hood,
Claudius Il. Farnsworth, A. +. Bray, DIR.
Frank b. Fuller and Jacob Shartenberg;
Treasurer, Everett Z. Carpenter; Secretary,
Rev. Joseph j. Woolley.
After the usual resolution to the press
for courtesies, the meeting adjourned.
DR.. Herbert o. True was reelected at
tending physician and DR.. Frank b. Full
Ter consulting physician. The President,
Secretary and Treasurer were chosen the
executive committee. S. +. Fisk & Co.
and 4. X. Gridley & Co. were reelected
apothecaries.

NULL AND VOID.
Mayor Tiepke's Last Two
Messages to Board.
The Points Raised Enthusiastically
Sustained By City Charter.
His Honor Neglected to Return the Matters on
Specified Time-Status OF Affairs.

An examination of the last two messages
sent to the Board Of Aldermen by Mayor
Tiepke shows that he is writing simply
for effect, as they are both null and void.
An investigation of the resolutions max
ing appropriations for the improvement
on Brook and Randall streets dis
closes the fact that they were presented to
the Mayor on November 13, the same day
day upon which the resolution relative to
the Marieville water contract was sent him.
They originated in the Board of Alder
men, and Clause of Section OF the City
Charter says "but il he do not ap-
prove it, he shall return it to the board in
which it originated before the adjourn
ment of the next meeting thereof, held
more than ten days after it shall have been
presented to him, etc."
This Mayor Tiepke failed to do, as the
Board of Aldermen met on November 27,
which was more than ten days after their
presentation to him, viz fourteen days.
Clause of the same section goes further
so as to provide against the contingency
of Mayor refusing to approve or return
such papers and says ''If any such vote
shall not be returned by the Mayor with
his objections as aforesaid to the board in
which it originated before the adjourn
ment of the next meeting thereof, held
more than ten days after it shall have been
presented to him for his approval, IL shall
be in force as the act Of the City Council,
or of the Board passing it, in like manner
as II he had approved it,"
The above quotations from the city
charter show that the executive is not Civ
ing that close attention to details that he
formerly used to, but seeks to pose as the
particular guardian and watchdog of the
treasury, title not justified by his career,
as evidenced by the remark of one MEM
Der of the Board at its last meeting, when
he laconically characterized the veto on
Randall street as "death-b bed repentance" +"

Bond Asked and Refused

Springfield, Mass, Dec. 15.-The board
of aldermen gave q hearing last evening
on the petition of the Springfield and
Southwestern Electric Railway company
for franchise admitting them to entry
into the city. The company proposed to
sum of s125,OOo, to build a bridge across
the Connecticut river, the money to be
deposited April 1. The aldermen asked
the representative Of the company IL 1t
would give bond to guarantee the pay
ment, but this was refused. The alder
men then laid the matter on the table,
with the provision that should the COM
pany make the deposit or give bond
before Jan. the matter would be taken
up and decided, otherwise 1t will not be
acted on.

House This Week.

His Amusing Entertainment at the Opera
House This Week.
The success Of an entertainment is
judged from the pleasure those who wit
ness it derive. Last evening Prof. Carpen-
ter opened his entertainment in hypnotism
at the Opera House, where he will remain
for one week.
The audience were kept in a continual
state of laughter by the actions OF the
subjects under the professors power. The
entertainment opened with short talk by
Professor Carpenter, and must be said to
his credit that he claimed nothing of the
absurd power so frequently claimed by
those in similar line. The subjects who
appeared last evening were nine in num-
ber-four women, four men and small
boy. These people, under the guidance of
the professor, furnished no end Of fun for
the fair sized audience who were present.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.

No Indications of Abatement In Pro idenc0
and Many New Cases.
Last week there were indications
of weakening of the grip of contagious
disease upon certain sections OF Provi-
dence. Unfortunately, later returns re-
move this agreeable impression. New
cases and additional deaths are reported
almost daily. The health department now
has the assistance of the police in fighting
the disease. 1t has also been given to un-
derstand by the proper authorities that 1t
need not worry about money.

A CASE OF PARALYSIS.
DEMONSTRATED IN COURT THAT
OUR LIQUOR IS POTENT.
Candid Confession From a Hebr0nville Man
The Hot Water Dog Case.

Judge Shove, having recovered from his
indisposition, was on hand bright and
early this morning to pass judgment on
the disturbers of the public peace. Joseph
Bedard, who votes in Hebronville, and
whom Officer Lee met yesterday afternoon
on High street, was first arraigned to plead
to the charge of being drunk.
Joseph told the Court that he was feel
ing unwell and the first thing he knew he
was overcome by Pawtucket spirits, 1t may
here be stated that a quart bottle of some
unknown intoxicant was found on Bedard
when he was arrested. 1t was submitted
to those in the station this morning, but
no one dared venture his reputation as
connoisseur by passing judgment on 1t by
the sense OF smell and no one was rash
enough to sample 1t.
As Joseph honestly and calmly informed
the Judge that to the best of his knowl-
edge and belief he was ''paralized" at the
at the time of the arrest, he was fined S2
and costs. This testimony should forever
settle the long standing dispute as to
which liquor, that sold in Pawtucket or
the suburbs, Is most potent.
John Gaffney doesn't think he was drunk
yesterday afternoon, and Detective Haber-
lin and Officer Mclaughlin think he was.
The case was continued I'm bonds of 600
until tomorrow. This case illustrates the
thankless results Of giving aid to friend,
that Is, II the friend is OF only few min
utes standing. John endeavored to nego-
tiate a loan on an overcoat belonging to a
friend yesterday afternoon, and thus dis
covered his condition to the police.
The famous shot water dog case" was as
usual postponed, and is, from indications,
as far from hearing as the settlement OF
the dispute between the enterprising in
dividual who struck "Billy Patterson"
