w. A. Whalen, was an entertainment
enjoyable in the fullest sense. There
was talent displayed by the players
such as seldom graces the amateur stage
and such as would deprive of asperity
,the professional critics pen. The audi
ence was perfectly satisfied with the
evenings entertainment and the fathers
are most thankful, in the first place, to
Capt. w. A. Whalen for his valuable
services; also to the other participants
Misses Hubbard, Callaghan and Keers
and Messrs. Hoy, Wordsworth, Kenny,
Boylan, Monahan, Kelly, Feely and
Noonan. They rendered their thanks
to Miss Mamie Scallen who contributed

Judging from the figures furnished
the health department the past eleven
months the mortality rate Of Mime
apolis for 1897 will be considerably be-
low that of last year. In the case Of

will not exceed thirty-five or forty.
