 Jeremiah Deyine, president of the Brooklyn Improvement society, will preside at the regular meeting of the organization which will be held this evening in the Lyceum.

The public from all parts of the city is invited to attend.
 William P. Loeffler was wit ness in city court this morning in the Italian stabbing affray, and short ly before court started it looked as though he would be bounced out of the court room. Witnesses and spec tators are supposed to enter the court room through the door on the Harrison alley side. This morning Patrolman Maurice Noonan was tending the door leading from City hall when Loeffler came along. As sistant Prosecuting Attorney John McGrath had few moments before asked if Loetf1ar were present At any rate he would undoubtedly have got in all right if Maurice knew who he was. Maurice had his back to the door talking with Maurice Car mody when the door opened and Loeffler walked in. Maurice grabbed him by the arm and asked him where he was going. 'I am going | in here, where do you suppose?" said | Loeffler. II am not supposing," re- | piled Maurice, but you go right out | and come in the other door" Loef- l fer was about to tell him that he ! was William P. Loeffler, friend of | Hans Rasmussen, but the patrolman did not care for explanations and | would have busted Loeffler had not l Attorney McGraw came l over to Maurice to explain. ''l have | orders to have them go around to the other door," said Maurice, and they'll go."
 Five young men representing | the T. A. B. basketball team of Thoma8.on came to this city last evening and received an awful wal loping at the B. 4. c. rooms, the Pioneers defeating them by the score of 40 to o. The visitors were out classed and during the game did not have one good chance to shoot l basket from the field. They had l couple of opportunities to make goals from fouls, but did not take advantage of them and had to be content with coat of kalsomine. The Pioneers should arrange games with some team in their class and lot stack up against lot of easy marks. The lineup of last night: Pioneers. ThOmaston. )evine .... . .... Fruin
