William Zigmund of Bank street has returned to Philadelphia to re- sume his studies.
 It looks as though Frank Ray is pretty sure of being reelected sewer inspector by the board of works.
 Miss Isabella Dempsey of New York, who has been visiting the De. turned home.
 | At a resGia: monthly meeting
 to be held Su day afternoon in St
 Patrick's church, St Patrick's Holy Name society will elect officers for the year.
 What has happened to the pro- posed scheme of the Brooklyn I'm. provement society to have a branch of the Bronson library established in the old engine house on Bank street? Charles Delvis. age Awhile play | ing at his home on Green street yes terday afternoon was badly scalded by boiling water. He pulled over pan of very hot water and his body was scorched considerably.
 Are there any Brooklynites on the central committee of the Water bury Anti-Tuberculosis league? If there are they were not present at the meeting last night. The promin- ent men of Brooklyn should take an active hand In this movement as they can use much time and money on cases in this section. Now is the time also to have some of those filth producing buildings given a thorough cleaning.
 Tt looks as though the proposed game of basketball between the Ca- dets and the Brooklyn business men will only be played on paper. The teams were scheduled to come to- gether Tuesday evening, but it was postponed until this evening. But the quintettes will not clash tonight for some reason. so it appears as though 1t will have to be postponed indefinitely. In day or two bask- etball league is to be formed by the Cadet association. It will be similar to that formed there a year ago and which was much appreciated by the boys that frequent the Lyceum. There Is much enthusiasm among the Cadets for the game and there is no doubt the league. once formed, will be successful.
 The Brooklyn residents in gener- al are undoubtedly of the sentiment of the Brooklyn Improvement society that there are too many saloons In some parts of Brooklyn. but the con- servative element do not see much hope of having the congestion re- lieyed. A vigorous protest was re- gently made against the transferring of saloon from a side street to Bank but the application was at length granted. Moreover the saloon was opened between South Riverside and South Leonard streets where the number of cafes is indeed large. The Brooklyn society has a big task on it's hands and if it succeeds Tn elimi- hating some of the grog shops. the public will be assured that it is worthy of much consideration.
