The decorations OF the clubhouse were
exquisite, especially in the part where
the entertainment was held. Those who

a~pplauded by the large audience present
and to onmen upon one more than
another would be doing an injustice.
After the entertainment refreshments
were served on the right side of the main
hall by the young ladies society connect
ed with the church. When all had fin
ished they proceeded to the left side Of
the building on the same floor, and dane
ing was in order mt midnight, the music

Mr. William Sullivan, treasurer of the

interested spectator at the meeting OF
the Board of Aldermen last night. He
was there to hear the report of the special
committee of the Aldermen on what had
been accomplished in relieving the wants
of the poor people who We're rendered
homeless by the disastrous fire which
originated in Payne's furniture store.
Alderman Archibald M. Henry, as chair
man of the Aldermanic Committee, re-
ported that so far as it had been in the
power of the embe of both the
Boards Committee and the Citizens
Committee all the sufferers had been
cared for n made as comfortable as
could be expected or desired.
The Alderman reported that the Citi-
ems Committee, particularly it's treas
urer, had been active land had left no
stone unturned to provide the poor people
with everything they required. The mem
bers of the Aldernanic Committee, too,
it was reported, rendered great assistance
and facilitated the work of relief.
Alderman Henry reported that 81, 461.1 10
had been subscribed by charitably dis
posed citizens. That sum was turned
over to the treasurer Of the Citizens
Committee. That committee, however,
had mapped out an extensive plan of re-
lief and had, in order TO carry it out as
they desired, to expend Sl,S61.15. In all
forty-Seven needy, deserving families
were assisted. With only one or two ex-
ceptions all of the forty-seven families
Were furnished with new quarters. For
nearly all of them also a months rent
was paid in advance Their new homes
We're neatly but cheaply furnished and in
nearly every instance the new homes
We're equipped with such utensils as go
to make up a complete home. Clothes
and shoes We're provided for men, women
man Henry commended, was as complete
as could be hoped for. The people who
were aided were profuSe in their thanks,
he said, and were satisfied that every
thing possible had been done to make
them comfortable and happy and replace
fagration. The deficiency of $500 in the
amount subscribed and amount expended
had been kindly advanced by Treasurer
Sullivan. AT his suggestion a warrant
was ordered drawn in favor of Mr.. Sulli-
van for $500. The sum will be deducted

In addition to the relief afforded by the
Citizens Committee, Overseer of the Poor
Hewitt spent in the neighborhood of 500
in relieving the suffering people. He pro-
vided them with clothes and provisions
and to many advanced various sums of
money. The Adernanic Committee had
supervised everything PoormaSter Hewitt
had done and Alderman Henry reported
that he believed it would be IN easy mat
ter from this time on for Mr.. Hewitt to
see that those WHO suffered by the fire
are properly cared for. At the A1derman's
suggestion the Aidermanic Committee.
was discharged with thanks.
