One OF the big social events Of January
will be the Jewish charity ball to be given
AT the Grand hCtel on the evening Of the
18th. II is expected to be attended By
several hundred people and to be a brill
Liant dress affair, full evening clothes being
one OF the requisites for admission. The
price of the tickets may be anything from
~ up. The proceeds will be devoted to the
iurtherance OF the Jewish charitable work,
which includes several eleemosynary m
situations located In other cities which the
Jewish people sustain by liberal contribu-
items. One OF these is a tuberculosis sani-
tarium where the disease Is scientifically
studied and treated.
Yesterday was pension day" at the Of
flee OF the clerk of the district court, and
1872 OF the old veterans came in to have
their vouchers attested. AS there are
nearly 400 pensioners, about all OF whom
repair regularly to the county clerks Of
flee to have their signatures witnessed
yesterdays work only about half com
pleted the whole Job. Many Of the old
veterans are becoming very infirm and the
cold weather keptf them away. About
twenty notified the clerk that II would be
impossible for them to go to the court
house, and that obliging Individual and
his deputies will go to their homes after
office hours. Although the law provides
fee none is ever charged for this work.
The fire and light committee of the city
council has again been asked to report
upon this ACCESSIBILITY of placing a fire
alarm box ut South Eighth street and
Twelfth avenue, at the request OF the
Rock Island railway company. There is a
strong sentiment among the aldermen
favoring an official request to the railway
company to install the box at its own ex-
pcnse, for the reason that Is designed
chiefly for the protection of railway prop
erty and Is TO be located so that 1T will
not be accessible to others. The box Will
cost ti25. IL IS pointed out that in all other
cities such eni-prvate boxes are always
provided for at the expense OF the people
desiring them, and the conviction is that
this Is an opportunity TO enforce the rule
on the other hand II is likewise pointed
out that the railroad company pays taxes
for the maintenance Of the fire depart
ment and should be given the fullest
possible protection The last annual re.
port OF Chief Nicholson Of the fire depart
ment showed that nearly so per cent OF the
fire alarms came in over the telephone
inclined 70 materially enlarge the number
OF boxes
