LIEUTENANT ELECTED.
First Sergeant Moredock Promoted
by Company D Last Night.

At the conclusion of the regular drill
of Company d, Eleventh regiment, held
in the armory last night, the company
met and elected First Sergeant Charles
Moredock to the second lieutenancy.
This rank was made vacant recently
by the resignation of F. A. Branda, who
was compelled to give UP his connec-
tion with the Guard owing to his re-
mOval to New York city for business
reasons.
Lieutenant Moredock's election was
unanimous. lie is a thorough soldier
and Is well liked by the rank and file.
He has seen several years service in
the National Guard of this state, hav-
ing been a member of Company d, of
the Thirteenth regiment. When the
regiment was mustered out last May ct
Mt. Gretna and became Volunteers, he
was discharged by the mastering of.
flcers for some triflng defect.
ThCga will be another change of Of
flcers in the regiment this month. A
captain and first lieutenant will BE-
elected by Company K Tuesday even
ing, March 2l, at the armory. These
offices were made vacant by the res
ignation of Captain James o. Dimmick
and First Lieutenant L. M. Gee. The
departure OF these two officers from the
regiment is deeply regretted by the
members, they both being very pOpu-
lar and splendid tacticians.

down this appropriation, arguing that
nothing tends to give a city a black
eye more than ill-kept streets.
LOVES LABOR LOST.
Mr.. Keller and Mr.. Sanderson came
to the meeting prepared to solve the
appropriation problem and Mr.. San
derson, acting as spokesman, proceed
ed to submit the ordinance they had
drafted. The first proposition, which
was to cut the mayors secretary's sal
ary from 81 200 to 5000, was adopted.
The next one, which was to reduce the
salary of the common council clerk
from 5000 TO $780, as the ordinance fixes
it, was repudiated. This discouraged
Mr.. Sanderson and he gave up the at
tempt.
Later the secretary's salary was re-
placed at $1,000 and the common coun-
Gil clerk was cut to 5000.
Street Commissioner O'Boyle, just to
help the committee out of its dilemma,
got up and stated that he thought he
could get along with s., 900 for repairing
sewers and drains. Mr.. Williams, how
ever, insisted on the item remaining
$4,000, as he wants $4,000 worth of re-
pairs done on the Hyde Park avenue
sewer, this coming summer.
Mr. Sanderson wanted to knock off
the two additional patrolmen, but the
committee would not hear to 1t. on
motion of Mr.. Reese, the desk SER
geants were increased from two to
three and the number of patrolmen re-
duced from forty-siX to forty-five. AS
the salaries are the same, there was
no objection. The purpose is to pro-
vide day desk sergeant at headquar-
ters,
Mr.. Zizelmann advanced the PROPOSE
ton to cut off one of the clerks in the
city controllers department. His rea-
son for this was that the new control
Ter intended to give his whole time to
the duties of the office. The PROPOSE
tion was not approved.
The cut in the salary of the clerk of
common council and the raise in the
salary Of assistant city clerk was made
on motions by Mr.. Coyne. Mr.. Reese
and Mr. Wagner were responsible for
putting the salary of the mayors Sec
retary back to $1,000. 1t stood at 5000
last year, but when the present COM
mittee did away with the office OF
police clerk and put the duties Of that

ed $500 to the secretary's salary, half
the amount that the chiefs clerk cost.
At the outset of last nights meeting
this 5000 was cut off, and it remained
off until just before the meeting ad-
journed.
Mr.. Wirth tried to get 500 to add to
the 1890 which is allowed the clerk in
the fire department, but was unsuc-
CeSeful.
The usual provisions regarding the
merging of balances were added to the
ordinance on motion of Mr.. oliver, and
then the committee adjourned sine die
The ordinance will be presented to
select council next Thursday night.
Common council is not likely to meet
again this fiscal year, as the anti-brick

PLAYED TO A DARK HOUSE.
Leland T. Powers Had Troubles of
His Own Last Night.

The High school auditorium is fitted
for stereopticon show with the lee
turer omitted and for little less as far
as evening entertainments are con-
cerned. That sort of a performance
would obviate the necessity of hearing
on the part of the audience and of
lighting the room. Last night Leland
Il. Powers played to a dark house"
by spells throughout the evening to his
apparent distress. Once as the cleo
trio lights suddenly went out leaving
him in the dark in the midst of one
of his best impersonations, he stopped
in despair and apostrophized space in
wearied tone with the declaration:
How can l go on with this pro-
gramme? 1 can recite the lines, but
L am not like the good little boy, for l
must be seen and heard if this per-
formance is to be a success"
Four times in the course Of the even
ing the lights went out and
the feeble little gas lamps
along the side OF the room
shed fitful and depressing glare over
the great audience, for there was not
a seat to be had last night, chairs being
placed in the aisles to accommodate
patrons.
Mr.. Powers gave three act play,
THE Borrowed Spectacles." In its
course he impersonated two chief char
acters. the brothers, one of whom was
stingy and mean, the other generous,
the two sons of these men, a wife, a
servant, tenants, etc. The work was
marvelously well done. The plot of
the little comedy was that by borrow
ing his mean brothers spectacles the
kind-hearted man looked out upon the
world darkened by their gloomy shade
and seeing life through his hard old
brothers pessimistic eyes. 1t was rich
in humor and clever in dialogue. Mr..
Powers was frequently applauded and
afforded his audience extreme delight.
1t is to be questioned, however,
whether his miscellaneous programmes
are not more popular.
