power for good, and it got along SWIM
mingly until some one suggested theatre
cal entertainment in sweet charity'S name.
Then the trouble began. The club MEM
bels took up the idea and soon they were
rehearsing for last nights performance
After they had issued advertising, which.
said the Central Sunday School Club would
burlesque a country circus, for the benefit
of the church. the pastor stepped in and
frowned upon the project.
The pastor said the church's name should
not be used. Others said it should. Miss
Pauline Metfeldt resigned as president of
the club. She said the pastor was right
Mrs. Barr resigned as a teacher of Sum-
day school class. Thus matters progressed.
The show was advertised for one week
ago last night. 1t did not come off be-
cause of the diSsensions. Then the club
said they would give the entertainment last
night for the benefit of the Rescue home
a deserving charity.
And they did. True. the club member
who was to do a turn as a South American
monkey backslid at the last moment. al
though it was noticeable he was always
on hand at rehearsals. There is lots of
fun in rehearsing home talent show-a
whole lot more than when real actor people
rehearse. Then, too. the wire walker failed
to show up. Perhaps he went over to the
pastors side Anyway, he wasn't there.
Still, the programme was but slightly dis
arranged by their absence. OF course a
real monkey is a necessity in Il genuine
country circus, and a burlesque monkey is
almost a necessity in a burlesque show. As
early as o'clock last night anxious faced
young men were asking:
Where is the monkey?"
You can search me- replied the orches-
ira leader.
The opera house was comfortably filled.
Many were there to enjoy the burlesque;

REVOKED HIS COMMISSION.
The Police Board Thinks Ex-Jointist
CULLEN Would Not Make
Good Reform Policeman,

The police commissioners met in special
session last night and repented the action
taken Monday night in appointing Russell
Burdett and S. H. QuilIen by revoking the
commission of the latter. Burdett and
CULLEN both served on the force under the
Lcwelling reign and when they were re-
moved by the Republican board two years
ago they both engaged in the joint buSi-
ness. The Journal, in publishing the ap-
pointments yesterday morning. stated these
facts and the members of the board were
laughed at on all sides.
The fact that the board had boasted of
the many reforms to be accomplished
through its administration made the matter
really humiliating. A meeting was called
for last night and the two new policemen
Were summoned before the board. They
were both placed in the sweatboX and, of
course. they had to admit the truth. Quill
len told a straight story and the board
dismissed him. Burdett, who is a colored
man, informed the commissioners that he
had been arrested for running a policy
game but his case vas dismissed for want
of prosecution. The board held that a
person was not guilty of a crime until
convicted and decided that Burdett should
remain on the force.
