delicious repast they returned home
late in the evening to find that
the parsonage had been entered

overturned and the interior looked
as if a cyclone had gotten in its

A call session of the city coun-
Gil was held yesterday afternoon,
and it soon became evident that il
was business affair. Even Mr..
Cruce Of the first ward went on
record to support the squandering
of some funds for the city's good.
This was in the matter of securing
another fire engine for city pro-
lection. to which every member of
the council present acquiesced.
Mayor Gardner is in correspondence
with the American Fire Engine
company of New York. and a rep
resentatiye of that concern will
visit here shortly, when it is Le-
lieved a deal will be closed.
This will not interfere with the
chemical engine contract which is
now under way, and was to be de-
livered in ninety days, which will
bring the new machine here about
Christmas.
The park question was also
touched upon, and while a choice
of about 160 acres in the south
east part of the city seemed to
meet the wish of the council, il
was decided to grant the commit
tee further time to consult the
townsite board on the question.
A resolution inviting the Ark
ansas and Choctaw railroad com
pany to construct their proposed
line of railway through our city
was framed, to be submitted to the
company.
The fire department committee
was instructed to purchase a GEN.
trally located lot on which to erect
city hall and other buildings
necessary for the welfare and pro-
gress of the town.
In all likelihood the site to be
chosen is that of Mr.. Jones' barn,
where the city pound is now locat-
ed, on South Caddo street, and
about one-half block below the
present fire department headquar-
ters.

blaze Of glory last night for the
expected social function OF The
club, the Thanksgiving ball. As on
former occasions of this nature the
evening spent was a decidedly con-
genial and successful one. All the
elements essential to the successful
carrying out of a social undertak-
ing were present to make the oe.
casion positive success, and the
company who met and spent the
time together for several hours
have every reason to feel satisfied.
The night was perfect, the music
was never better, the management
was faultless, the crowd was merry,
jolly, good d-humored ard eager for
an opportunity to vent their feel
ings. No social diversion, perhaps,
combines quite so nearly all the de-
sirable features as the dance, and
certainly no company of young
people ever gathered who could
more fully appreciate and empha-
size this fact than that on last even
ing. The jolly spirit of the occasion
touched everyone present, and il
seems now that there was not a jar
to mar the pleasure of a single in :
dividual. The regular program
carried twenty dances, but this was
far below the requirements of the
occasion. and the number was sup
plemented by frequent additions
until the total reached about
thirty.
The grand march, led by Mr..
and Mrs. Fl. E. Foster, was one of
the prettiest features of the pro-
gram, and served to put everybody
in just the proper mood for the
dance. The feature, however,
which attracted much attention was
the elegance of the costumes of
the dancers. This alone deserves
much more consideration than a
passing mention, but a column
would not be sufficient for this.
Added to our local society circle,
were several from a distance. The
party consisted of Mr.. and Mrs.
81. E. Foster, Mr.. and Mrs. S. NJ :.
Torbett, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Gates,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Ringer.

BROOKE DENIES CHARGES


 Havana, January 1S.-El Diario de la Mar ianao, La Lucha; El Pais and La Discus sion, as well as other papers less influential, indulge in editorial criticisms of the United States military administrator, asserting that it tends to anarchy. They declare that each provincial governor and each garrison commander is military dictator, acting independently of the governor general and exercising administrative, legislative, ju- dical and even ecclesiastical functions. As a result of this system, as these papers re- gard it, there is no uniformity of action in details and no general code of administra- tion for the various localities.
 On the attention of Governor General Brooke being called today to an editorial that the criticism was unfounded, as 1t was quite untrue that there was no uniformity of action. Exactly the reverse are the facts, said the governor general.

SOUTHERN R. R. OFFICIALS
En Route to Florence to Adjust Toll
 Bridge Matter.

Colonel A. B. Andrews, first vice-presi- dent, and Colonel Henderson, general coun- sel of the Southern Railroad company, passed through the city yesterday In Colonel Andrews private car, en route to Florence. where they go to adjust the mat ter of the toll bridge across the Tennessee river at that point
 It will be remembered that the supreme court of the United States recently remand ed an appeal taken from the United States circuit court at Huntsville, holding that the reduction in toll made by the Alabama legislature Was > matter in which the United States supreme court had no juris- dction.
 It Is said that the people of Lauderdale county have conten ted that if the railroad company would reduce the tolls its income from the bridge would be materially in- creased. Colonel Andrews says that the road at present desires an income of s4 ,0OO per year from the bridge and that if the people will guarantee this amount they C n moke the toll rates anything they wish. It is more than probable that the matter will be amicably settled.

 Open Door Policy.
SPEAKSAT VOL VERHAMPTON

London. January 1S.-Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, speaking this evening at the ban Quet of the Wolverhampton chamber of commerce reviewed at great length the various threatening foreign questions con fronting the government.
 In connection with the withdrawal of the French demand for an extension of the settlement at Shanghai, MT. Chamberlain congratulated his hearers that Great Britain's opposition to the French proposal had been strenuously supported by the rep resentative of the United States.
 'sThat, think he said. "a significant and noteworthy fact. Nay. I think and hope it will become history. It shows that circumstances are bringing about the com- munity of interests between Anglo-Saxons which in the future, may have far-reaching and bene1cent results"
 He welcomed the changing tone on the part of France, declaring that if the French government desired an amicable settlement of all remaining difficulties Great Britain would meet France more than half way In concluding Mir. Chamberlain paid high tribute to the success of Lord Salisbury s foreign policy. remarking:
 s'It is cause for satisfaction that two great nations, Germany and the United States. both protectionists at home, have proclaimed their intention to adhere to the principle of the 'open-door in their foreign possessons. We shall regard their ex- bansion without jealousy and shall well come their cooperation; and I think. with out being too sanguine, we may rely upon their sympathy and assistance In securing the general adoption of principle to which we attach so much importance"
