THE DoRsCHT CONCERT.

Complete Programme Will be An
 nounced Sometime To-Day.
 The complete programme for the Dorscht Charity concert to be given in the Hyperion Sunday has not as yet been completed, but will be some time to-day. Every effort is being made to make the concert one of the most sue cessful musical events of the sea son, and doubtless the proceeds which are going towards establishing fund for the aid of meritorious aged musicians will be very large. Surely the cause is a worthy one, and with the splendid talent in the programme, liberal pat ronage is assured.
 Miss Grace Gallagher, the harpist will render solos accompanied by Will liam Hegel on the piccolo. The full Dorscht orchestra containing some of the finest musicians in the city, will be heard and Mrs. Nora Russell Haesche will be the soloist. .

gentlemen, take the time while you have it. You have waited too long. We want the information and in no other way can we get It. l mean no discour- I tesy to the member of the board of 1 finance"
 | Alderman Wallace-"Alderman Dove us There seems to be suspicion go- ing abroad that the board of education is not doing just right with the money and I think that it is for the interest of the board of education that this in- formation is given to us And as a last resort we must seek to get the informa- tion through our representative on the board of finance, which is dlscourteous to this board in refusing information on a matter of such public importance"
 Alderman Dowe-'I offer as an amendment to the motion of the gen. tleman from the Third that the infor- nation be asked for from the board of finance instead of the member repre- senting this board" Alderman Cooley seconded the amendment. The amend ment was lost on a viva voce vote and the original motion of Alderman c. F. Brennan was adopted.
 Alderman Chillingworth offered resolution calling upon the corporation counsel to give an opinion as to whether or not the common council had author ity to change the appropriation for the board of education recommended by the board of finance. This was amended by Alderman Staub to require that the opinion be forthcoming by next Thurs day evening, when the adjourned meet ing of the aldermen will be held The resolution thus amended was adopted
 Alderman Staub asked: Tn case the cooperation counsel brings in an opin- ion against changing the appropriation what are you going to do?" A motion to adjourn was put and carried before this question was discussed.

New Orleans. May 2.--This quaint old
city is one OF the four American COM
munities which are known all over the
world, and perhaps its distinction
abroad is second only i'm list including
New York, Chicago and SAN Fancisco.
1t is at least as cosmopolitan as either.
The four quarters OF the globe furnish
it's denizens. and TO the stranger there
is no more picturesque population on
this continent.
But although the greatest city in the
South and one of the chief resorts Of
America, New Orleans is known more
for it's local characteristics than as "A
commercial centre. Its material ad-
vancement. such as II is, and great as
its trade has been for many years, has
not been wholly i'm keeping with its ad-
Vantages. II is the part OF the great
est commercial river in the world and
the visitor who considers its natural
advantages Ia apt TO wonder that il has
not become the second or third city IN

dant future there can be no question.

His Friends Believe There Should Be an lnVsstga-

There is "a report that there will be
an investigation into the matter of the
death OF James Dunning OF Pawtucket.
which occurred at the state insane asy-
lum Sunday morning. The man was
delirlous. having pneumonia. and at the
hospital where he was first sent the
authorities asked that he be taken
away. as he was thought there TO have
delirium tremens. He was accordingly
taken 60 Pawtucket by the police.
There Is no HOSPITAL in that city for
such cases as his was supposed TO be-
and IL was deemed necessary i'm order
TO get the sufferer where he could be
given proper care. TO have him com
mitted 10 the state insane asylum, he
having been pronounced insane by two
physicians. He was taken To the asy-
lum i'm an open wagon, expiring a few
hours later. The officials at the asylum
We're Indignant at The sending or the
man there, declaring that his delirium
was due to pneumonia, and in their
opinion he did not require such treat
ment as he received.
His attending physician also says his
delirium was due entirely to pneumonia.
and that he did not have delirium tre-
mems, as the HOSPITAL authorities report
ed. In the belief that the man had de-
lirium tremens, il IL believed that some
OF the persons alleged 90 have been
thus misled. did not give the sufferer
the attention they otherwise would had
they known how serious was his condi-
tion.
Dunning was a hostler 80 years old,
and leaves a wife and three children.

GAS REDUCTION.
No Prospect Of Lover Rates in This clt Tor Tho
pfeson,. Of Least

The fact that the gas rates i'm New
York have been cut from si.10 TO 81
cents, by three, and probably four. of
the biggest corporations in the metro
polls. has started great many people
in this city 10 think that a slight re-
duction of the rates in Providence
would De hailed with general delight
There is little probability. however, OF
any immediate reduction In the price OF
gas here.
Mr.. A. B. Slater, treasurer and secre-
tary Of the Providence Gas company,
said that the price charged in one city
is no criterion for another. In Provi-
dence. for instance, he said, before the
cost of manufacture can be figured up
on at all there must be made an annual
expenditure OF about S15. 900 for main
tenance OF mains and other property.
franchise tax, real estate tax. etc. The
various elements which enter into the
cost OF making gas Were spoken Of by
Mr.. Slater as showing that the present
rate OF 6j cents I'm New York Is less
than the cost of production.
Mr.. Slater further said that accord
ing TO statute when the profits amount
TO more than s per cent. the rate
charged consumers must be proportion
ately less. He could not say when an
other reduction would be made, bur
probably not in year or two.

Mr. tselin said that he had turned her
