the organs to natural size and vigor. AS
it costs nothing to try the experiment IT

men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
eeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and

remedy in question was the result of

Condemnation For Board Of Aldermen Relative
10 Recent Executive Police Hearing.

The semi-monthly meeting of the Wood

Thursday evening, with good attendance
of members.
M. K. Sullivan and Michael Riley were
appointed committee to see the proper
authorities In regard to the matter of the
poor condition of many streets, and re-
port at the next meeting.
A resolution was introduced to the effect
that the Woodlawn Improvement Asso-
citation condemn the action of the Board OF
Aldermen in giving patrolman Jeffers a
private hearing. The resolution caused
considerable discussion, and it was evident
from the remarks of the members that the
taxpayers of this section were not I'm favor
of private hearings. The resolution was
passed unanimously.
The hall committee reported that il was
the intention of the owner of the building
in which the organization has its head
quarters to enlarge the rooms, and that in
the near future the society would have
better facilities to entertain themselves
and their friends.
The press were given a hearty vote of

"A BREEZY TIME"


Fitz and websters Comedians the Next
Attraction st tho Opera House.
Fitz and Webster's "A Breezy Time,"
which comes to the Opera House on Mon
day and will be seen on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, is described as farce
comedy with an abundance of fun and
paucity of serious interest. In other words
It's purpose is to divert rather than to en-
gross the attention. II bellies the general
opinion that farce comedy cannot have q
coherent plot. In point of fact, II has a
scheme of interest that runs throughout
the entire play, and that Is only strong
enough to hang upon IL series Of special
ty performances OF high order and enjoy
able nature. T.. B. Fitz Is the principal
comedian OF the company. He weighs over
three hundred pounds, and II can be seen,
therefore, that very considerable amount
OF the amusement that he causes Is due
quite as much to his avoirdupois as to his
antics. Miss Kathryn Webster Is leading
soubrette. She has a sweet voice Of good
carrying power, agile legs, and a fund of
vivacity. The rest of the cast Is well bal
anced. Each one has been engaged for
some particular talent that he or she pos
sesses, but they play together in such a
way that the result is harmonious I'm the
extreme, and, best Of all, laughable.

He further says that he learned from the
newspapers that private hearing was given
said Jeffers on Certain charges connected
with said robbery, on Wednesday evening,
the 20th inst, and ne desires to inform the
honorable Board that he was never notified
by the said Chief of Police or by said Board
that such hearing was to be held; that he
and his coun sci had informed said Chief OF
Police and also the City Solicitor, that they
would be ready To go before said Board
whenever said Jefers was to be heard, II
wanted.
And your petitioner represents that he has
learned with great astonishment that 1t was
represented to said Board of Aldermen that
your petitioner had been settled with In the
premises, and that said Jeffers had been
simply suspended from his Office for few
weeks, when he can return to his duties
among the henest policemen of the city and
again have the guardianship OF the property
OF our merchants and business men.
He, therefore, protests against and denies
the statement that he has been satisfied for
his large losses through said series OF rob-
berries, which amount to more than geo, ana
further protests against said private hearing
so given to said Jeffers, and hereby as citi-
zen, prays that said Jeffers shall be again
brought before your honorable body and said
case re opened and full and public hearing
be had I'm the premises.

An Attendance Of 200 and Everything Passed

The second annual ball of the Laurel
Club was held last night. It served to
draw large attendance and like previous
events held under the auspices of that Or
ganization proved complete success.
The assembly rooms may have held in
the past as merry party of dancers, but
its four walls have, doubtless, never
framed prettier picture than that pre-
sented last night. 1t was scene of much
more than ordinary brilliancy In the ar
dent wooing of Terpsichore by nearly 200
of her devotees.
After half hour intermission at mid
night for lunch, the dance was on again
until the strains of the good night waltz
had died out. Delightful music was fur
nished by Fay's Belmont orchestra.
The dance orders, which were pretty
souvenirs of the occasion contained
twenty-four well arranged numbers. The
following committee had charge of the
affair:
