The MeneIy Concern

The people who like refined enter
tainment OF high order OF merit
missed a rare treat Of this Liind
Thursday evening If they did not at
tend the Menely concert. The sing
ing was excellent ia every particular.
The "Bell song" especially pleased
the audience. The words OF the song
are expressive and beautiful and the
music was a fine imitation Of the var
led tones OF great bell. Mr.. Meme
ly's short Introductory lectures were
suggestive, pointed and instructive.
Mr.. Knox as an impersonator will
rank with the best. The company
was deserving of a better house, but
those who attended were richly repaid
for their time.

The Emory Hill house in the First
Ward, owned and occupied by John
Jackson, was destroyed by fire this
forenoon. At the first alarm the fire
company proceeded to the scene with
their accustomed alacrity and located
the fire in the wooden cupboard that
supported the chimney. They extin-
guished the flames and examined
carefully the partitions and attic to
be sure that no fire was left smoIder-
ing in any part Of the building. At
ter the lapse of an hour or so another
alarm called the firemen to the same
place to find the upper part Of the
house completely Quilted and the en-
tire roof of the main part on fire.
The firemen account for the second
fire in this way: The first fire had
charred a considerable amount Of
woodwork near the chin ney which
rendered it more ready TO take fire.
The inside of the house had been
pretty well wetted around where the
fire had caught. The family set the
stove back in the place where it had
been when it occasioned the fire and
a hot fire started to dry out the house
with the resultant resulted. The
loss on the building is probably about
$500 besides a considerable loss by the
occupants from damage to their fur
niture and clothing.

the tables had been placed each one
received a white score card to which
the world renowned Ratchet, cut from
cherry colored card board, was tied
with red, white and blue baby ribbon
and tally pads with tiny red pencils
tied TO match. After several hours of

The JOURNAL was misinformed 10 a
news item last week. 1t was stated
that Miss Edna Chinook had enter
tanned a party Of young friends In a
social gathering at her home. The
statement was Incorrect Miss Chin
mock had no party on Friday evening
the 18th Under ordinary circum-
stances a misstatemento OF this nature
could be readily overlooked as a mat
ter Of trivial consequence, as no harm
need result from the announcement
But it was unfortunate on this oc.
casion inasmuch as Miss Chinook
was Ill and both her father and moth
er we're sick-a very inopportune oc-
casion for frolic. The JOURNAL in
tends to be accurate in such matters
and regrets the publication OF misin-
formation.
