SMACKS OF THE ORIENT
Members Appear as Stars with
Long Names in Clever Anna
teur Entertainment.

Murat Temple of the Mystic Shrine gave
an enjoyable entertainment last night at
the German House To the members of the
order and ladies. The large assembly hall
of the clubhouse was decorated with many
colored incandescent lights and festoons of
evergreen.
The entertainment opened with a vaude-
Vile programme in which a number of pro-
fessional actors besides members of the
order took part. The actors borrowed their
names from the Turkish language and it is
doubtful whether any of the men could
pronounce their own names CT those of the
other members of the troupe. In order to
give the audience an insight into what the
play would be, the following synopsis was
printed on the programme:

ton. Property owners on the thorough
fare have stated that they would not pay
their assessments for the improvement on

specifications in his hands, but that these
specihcat ions did not tally with those
adopted by the board, and to which the
property owners had agreed The charge is
by the former city engineer with the con-
sent or the former board, and that property
owners knew nothing of the changes.
The changes Were in making the street
wider and in putting in brick instead of
gravel cutters. increasing the cost The
contractor offered to compromise the mat
ter with the property owners by deduCting
500 from his BILL but 10 this the property
owners refused TO consent 1t is proposed
that the contractor file suit against the

tractor.
