"Spanglcs" is good name for the
musical comedy that was presented
at the Acadcm ylasL night, because
it was bright at times. just like the
spanglcS Oh dress, or wherever
they are worn or shown.
1t Was inane and WIS only saved
from being IL complete failure by the
good work Of Il few OF the different
characters, who really seemed to have
latent talent, though the piece will
never bring out much OF it.
George O'Ramey, who took the
part of Billec, its il girl" was one
OF the few. and if she were given
an opportunity to dance she surely
would be able to do so with great
credit to herself aud, what's more to
the point. to the pleasure oil the

Hears Testimony Until Al.
Ter Midnight,
JUST TWO FACTS ESTABLISHED
Chief Stow Does Not Want LEM as

ton is Deferred.

Sitting as Il committee of the whole
from o'clock until after midnight last
night, examining Witnesses under oath.
the common council learned two
thlngs-and practically only two
things bearing upon the question be-
ing investigated.
First. the city fathers found that
the only reason the Central aud North
End volunteer fire companies oppose
the appointment of G.. a. LEM. .Ir..
as assistant chief is that Fire Chief
w. x. Stow does not want MIR. LEM.
incidentally it was brought out that
the chief and MIR. LEM had been enc.
mics for several years. although they
work in harmony at fires.
The second important hit Of informa.
ton impaired by the witnesses was
that The Central and North End com
panies met Thursday and decide to re-
Sign from the department in case tho
council should appoint Lcnz assistant
chief. According to the testimony there
were about forty members of the North
End Company were present at the
meeting of that company and ten Or
twelve at the meeting of the Central
company.
The committee decided To have a
subcommittee appointed To draft a re-
port TIC be presented 10 the council at
the adjourned session next Friday
night. Mcssrs. Harris, Jones. Mar
shall Via and Ketchum were appoint
ed to draft the report. The sub-com.
mittcc will report to the committee
of the whole next Friday night at
1880 O'Clock and an hour later the com.
mittce of the whole will report to the
council
