on which the stone crusher is now locat-
I'd be purchased by the city providing
the land 3 which consists of about one
half an acre, can be bought for thrae
and one-half cents foot. The land, SO
the committee reported, is mostly ledge
and this can be utilized by the city in
providing stock for the stone crusher.
The Westbrook Electric Light company
and Marsh Brothers were ordered to move
the poles on Ocean street so that they
will be outside of the sidewalk line.
The committee on licenses recommend

proLriate 5000 for repairing the stone
crusher which can be put in good condit-
ion for work with this outlay. The mat

solicitors Communication be received
and placed on file 1t was SO voted.
Mayor Davis said that he aid not
know whether or not the board desired
this matter, but that he was willing to
make statement In regard to the affair
and explain his position. He said that
he had net obtained written statement
from Gov. Cleaves or Judge Symonds
about the matter, but they had told him
just what he had told the CITY council.
These lawyers said that they had not
believed special election would be nec-
essary and more than that some Of the
largest tax payers and best citizens in
Deering had told him that they did not
think special meeting was necessary.
More than this" continued Mayor
Davis, "some of the best lawyers in this
vicinity have told me that there was
more danger of legal complications to
be feared from holding special election
than from not holding it.
81 shall decline to order a special elec-
tion for this purpose, =" said Mayor Davis,
"because-I do not believe the welfare of
the city demands it and shall not sign
a call for such an election until I am
compelled to do SO by decision of the
Supreme Court Of this state"
At the conclusion Of Mayor Davis's
remarks, Alderman Aver got on to his
feet and said that he desired to ask ole
or two questions Of the Mayor. Mr..
Davis said he was willing to answer any
and all questions.
edo understand you to say" asked
Mayer. "that you do not think a spec
ial election could be held in this city I'M
less you signed the call for it? Are you
the only person authorized by law in
this city to call an election?'
Mayor Davis replied that he believed
he had littlo something to do with this
matter.
DO you mean to say" continued AL

all election IN this city next March I'M

Mr.. spoMord at H.,y cro.. Academy

A rare treat was enjoyed Saturday even
Ing by the friends and pupils of Holy Cross
Academy. who were privileged TO hear MIR.
A II. Spofford's superb discourse on
Poetry and Prose" In the treatment OF
his subject the lecturer did not aim at
being either didactic or profound. but he
expatiated on the varieties of literary ex-
preston, which he illustrated by we'll
chosen extracts from the productions of
our immortal poets and prose writers The
passages were rendered with splendid ora
torical effect, the exquisite taste displayed
In their selection indicating the true poetic
FEELING inherent in the lecturer. A glowing
tribute was paid to Shakespeare. the
greatest master of expression vet risen
among men,; to Shelley. Tennyson and
Coleridge. the great masters Of melody I'm
our century. Milton. Burns and Scott re
ceived their due need of praise Splendid
quotations from Newman. Carlyle aud Rus
KIN proved the claim of these authors TO
the high place they hold among cor prosa
writers. Passages from ballads martial
songs, elegies and lyrics were given. Mr..
Sporord's rendition of which revealed
beauties hitherto unperceived by the aver
age reader. At the conclusion of the lee
lure the pupils gave an informal entertain
ment. consisting OF an address and a few,

nature seeking to resume her proper functions.

We have noticed in a number of
our exchanges some very exaggera-
ted statements about the work that
is being done in Dayton by Chas.
V. Peck in putting concentrating
plant in the Douglass mill. Some
of the papers went so far as to say
that 200 men would be employed
on an immense ditch to be taken
out of the Carson river, and others
have estimated that $50 men will
find steady employment when the
Peck concentrating plant is in oper-
alton. Such statements are false,
and we do not see how they were
obtained, as the TINES has given
the news in this matter correctly.
Further, such statements do harm
to those seeking employment. Many
men have come here from a con-
siderable distance, under the inn
preston that all they had to do
was to get here and they would I've
put to work Immediately at SO per
day. AS we have stated before,
there are enough men in this i'm
mediate vicinity to take up all the
slack work, and they will no doubt
receive the preference to strangers.
We do not blame men for coming
here to seek work, but do blame the
papers which make such wild state
ments and mislead those seeking
employment. When the plant is
completed and in running order
there will be about 40 or As men
employed. There are that many
residents of Dayton VIII" have been
out of employment for some time,
and the greater portion of them will
doubtless secure the work they so
much need.

The mansion in Sutro was the
scene of a merry time on Tuesday
afternoon and evening of this week
when Master Archie Goudreau re-
ceived about fifty of his school
mates and friends, the occasion be-
ing his eighth birthday. Promptly
at 5 o'clock Miss Carrie Roberts,
the popular teacher at Sutro, form
ed in line the youngest present, and
to the stirring strains of Souza's
Ell Captain they marched to the
large dining room below. A huge
birthday cake, bearing an appro-
pirate inscription and eight small
lighted candles, occupied the CEN
trail position on the table, which
was loaded with good things, and
presided over by Master Goudreau
and Miss Roberts. When the lit
tie folks were satisfied the table was
reset and the older ones took their
turn. The evening was spent with
games, music and dancing. Miss
Jessie Leonard presided at the piano
in an accomplished manner. Ed
die Adams carried off the first prize
in the competition. The school
children gathered around Miss Min
mock at the piano and sang several
songs, to the great enjoyment Of all
present. About 10o'clock the par
ty broke up, and all voted the occa-
sion one to long be remembered.
