THE PYTHIAN SISTERS
Give a Delightful Entertain
ment Tuesday Night.

The Pythian sisters gave a de
lightful little entertainment to 6
number OF their friends and the
knights Tuesday evening. The
scribe, after a little seance at the
city hall visited the sisters, and ar
rived just in time to hear the pro
gram. 1t opened with a solo by
Miss Hilda Unger, which was very
nicely rendered indeed, and called
a hearty encore. This was followed
by a splendid recitation by little
Miss Couch, which was superla-
lively amusing. Her recitation was
the recounting of the thoughts,
opinions and doings of pert little
miss, and included everything that
happens in the life of young ladies
of her interesting and impression.
able age. There was a fishing trip
with Phip, her young brother, the
visit of undesirable callers, her con.
duct on these trying occasions, the
rebuke from her mother for touch
ing up the visitors, the scene en-
acted by her big sister and her
beau on the settee under the big
rose bushes, aud even repeated her
school defamation; in all of which
Miss Couch was a most delightful
impersonator, proving herself reg
ular family terror.
Miss Couch was followed by a
solo by Miss Harlow, who has a
magnificent voice and was recalled.
Mrs. George Hall followed with a
recitation of her visit to the old
home of herself and "all the other
children" As an answer to the
encore she gave the comical recita-
ton Of her visit with her father to
the fashionable church where the
choir rendered the "fatted calf" so
heroically that her young nephew
yelled right out in meeting:
Grandpa, let down the bars.
Mrs. Hall was followed by a solo
by Mr.. Brace, who was also called
back. Other numbers failed to
respond and then, just as we were
leaving the feature of the evening
was sprung, when each one present
had his or her too,sies measured
and plunked up a penny an inch
for the size Of them. There were
all kinds, styles and sizes. There
were cornless, hornless and other
wise delicate and deformed pedals
and after the civil engineer had
them all stakcd out IL was found
that Petroleum Valentine MAS

=. o. ST. Johns fame. footed up 2s
inches for his two pontoons and
was handed big fat, sour lemon
ls prize for the honor of carrying
The largest; while Mrs. Geo. Hall
captured the box of bonbons for
wearing the dain,iest shoe in the
house with only IS inches on the
ape rs the length of her pair. We
lid not learn what were the receipts
having hurried away so as not to
lcprive Brother Valentine OF his
honor; but IL there were many good
'nes like Our Nasty the sisters

THE RICHARDS AFFAIR.

OF course everybody will expect
Ms To say something regarding the
disgracciul affair which eliminated
in the conviction of Louis Richards
in the municipal court as charged,
People have come 10 us with slo.
ries discriminating the council aud
police force from the mayor down,
demanding that we roast them, +"
burn them up while on the
other hand there have been many
who have most revolving stories OF
the actions OF the saloon people and
others, and wish these denounced.
Personally, we know nothing of
the facts. We can only say what
we have been able To learn from the
trial, As regards Mr Walker;
Al the council meeting last Monday
night he made the statement that
he was not IN the back ROOM and
saw nothing in the saloon worthy
OF arrest, Again on the witness
stand at the trial he made the same
statement under oath. Ii he did
not tell the truth at the council
meeting il should have been the
duty of any citizen present who
knew to the contrary TO answer his
challenge To prove him false. As
this was not done, we must take
his sworn testimony as conclusive |
evidence that he knew nothing OF
the matter.
As regards Mr. Richards: We
will have to concur with the decis-
ion OF the municipal Judge that the
eveidence, even that OF l.. Richard
himself, was such that it left no
room ior any other verdict than
that rendered, II is a case, how
ever, where the greatest calmness
should govern the actions of all
that no injustice may be
done any one, There have been
made, we believe,
and which we think some time the
makers may be sorry for, The al
air is disgraceful enough, and we
believe il is up to the council To put ,
I beyond the power OF l.. Richards
o repeat the oiiense by revoking
lis license.

Peter Autzen rendered his resig-

man OF the third ward at the last
meeting. We are very sorry that
Mr.. Autzen found il necessary 10
do this because of his having
moved his family out of the ward,
for he is one of our most reliable
citizens. He is successful in his
own business, is actuated by the
best of business principles, is op,i-
mistic in all his business affairs,
progressive but careful in his meth.

truth before rushing into print?
1t was shown conclusively at the
trial that Councilman Walker was
not in the room and the fact that
Richards was convicted and given
the full limit of the law certainly
gives the lie to the other statements
that our officials are concealing any
thing that they may know about
this or any other crime.
Because the Portland papers
have become convinced that their
police service is rotten to the heart,
it is no reason for their thinking
the same conditions prevail at ST.
Johns. It is true Portland makes
a dumping ground of the surround
ing country where she sloughs off
such of her criminals as she can
and this works hardship on St.
Johns because we get our full share
of them, and this contemplate sa-
loonkeeper is one who came here
from that city. We do not object
to the Journal or any other paper
telling "the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth" about
any criminal in St. Johns, and
there is enough of them and to
spare; but this wholesale lying by
the reporter who wrote both the
article on the sth page Of the Jour
nal of December ed and the editor
ial page of December 4 is certainly
yellow journalism" that smells as
badly as do some of the crimes
committed in St. Johns.
