SOCIETY.
Musical Coterie Entertains Delightfully."-.

The first open concert and recep- tion of the Musical coteries was uos given last night at the Y. M. 2. and enjoyed by capacity house. The nrogram included only the best local talent and Prof Wilbur s. Schu- macker. of Little Rock, who more tnan pleased the music lovers with his violin selections.
 MT. Schumacker's first number was "scene de Ballet" by De Beriot. So well did he please the audience that he was forced to respond to four en- coures, each time receiving a larger number of applause. He was ac- companied on the piano by Miss Vim nie Clegg, who he, at the conclusion of the concert complimented highly for the manner in which she accomp- anied him.
 Miss Lucy Hearn Broadstreet, who sang Night" by Ronald, was at her best and pleased the audience to such extent that the applause continued for several minutes. In ordar that the entire program might be given, she declined to answer the repeated calls.
 Never was Dolph Kastor heard to better advantage than last night when he sang "For You Alone by Geth. As an enchore he gave little Irish melody, in which he was given an opportunity to show all the talent he possesses. He was loudly ap- plauded at the conclusion of both songs.
 "Salut a Peth" by Miss Sage and chorus was an extremely fine num- Der and highly appreciated, as was also the opening chorus, "Daybreak' by the mixed chorus. The chorus is composed of some of the best local talent and every number given was a real treat.
 The program came to a close with Songs of the Vikings by the mixed chorus, which was really fine num- Der and well fitted to close a pro- gram so we'll rendered as that given last esening.
 This was the first of a series ,)f monthly concerts, which will hence forth be given by the Coter:e in the chapel of the First Methodist church

Interesting Meeting IUf City Beautiful CIuh.

considerable business was trans acted yesterd ay morning at the meet ing Of the City Beautiful club. which was held in the parlors of the Hotel Jelferson. After an absence of sey- eral months, the president, Mrs. Trnlock presided.
 Inc club heard a report from Mrs. A. J. Guenther of the work done hy the East Pine Bluff Civic league and heartily endorsed their actions. The report showed that the league pur chased a lot on West Fifth avnnne belonging to a negro in order that the opening of East Fifth avenue might become a reality. To do this $2oO was raised by the league and the property is now owned bv ltha city.
 At cost on s75 the league also beautified the spot around an Elm tree on Ohio street which was allow ed to remain in the middle of the street by the city if the league would defray the expense of paving around it, which tfey did
 Mrs. Guenthe1 also reported that sixteen ladies, members of the league LOOK, up the hoe and rake and made beautiful the small park in the small park in the eastern part of the city donated four years ago by Mir. Bar row.
 The open lot belonging to the Catholic church and which was rent ed some time ago to man to be us ad as chicken run, and neglected by him, has been cleaned and the weeds on the walk surrounding the lot hav7 been cut at the expense of tine league. A committee composed of Mrs. S. C. Alexander, Mrs. J. w. Wilkins and Mrs. w. o. Taggart were appointel by Mrs. Tralock to confer with the cotton men and ask them for a once- a-week clean up of the cotton on the streets.
 Miss Mary Fortner, federal canning club agent fer Jefferson county was present, and urged that home gard ening be taken up by the club. The object is to secure vacant lots in the City and beautify and cultivate them Miss Fortner was very anxious that the work be taken up this year so that it would be well under way by the fall of next year. She also spoke of the exhibit of the boys and girls canning club, which will be held on November 5, 6 and z. Canning and poultry exhibits will be entered by practically every member of the club

county court, and limiting the ex- penditures. If such a movement was contemplated it did not develop, and none would admit that this had been considered.
 In presenting lis resolution, MT. Core stated it was not his intention to reflect in any way upon the trus- tees, but simply for the purpose of gaining information. During the dis cussion it became apparent that some of the members were aroused over the report that more money than is ac the command of the bridge commits sion will be needed to build approach es to the structure. Judge Philpc. pointed out that the bridge board had filed statements, and that the con- missioners might not care to subject themselves to catechising by members of the court. When the resolution was adopted, Judge Philpot named MT. Core, C. B. Murphy and J. w. Massingale to arrange for meeting between the commissioners and the court.
 w. D. Hearn, president of the board, is ill. and F. B. Bloom, secretary, was out of the city. The other commis- sioners appeared, and expressed will ingness to give any information they possessed Mir. Danaher stated that the suit of C. E. Philpot against the board and the bridge company, set tied some time ago. was not settled by the board; that the settlement was effected by the company having the contract to build the bridge and which had been made a party to the suit.
 No further action in regard to tha bridge was taken by the court. The resolution bringing the commission ers before the court read:
 "Whereas, there was instituted I'll the Jefferson circuit court by c. F. Philpot, suit against the bridge commissioners of Jefferson county. praying judgment against the said bridge commissioners in the sum Q! $3,373.5O alleging in said complaint that he was employed by the bridge commissioners to do certain work at the free bridge site. while the legi5- latu-e was in session in 1913 and while there was bill pending to re- peal the said bridge law, and it beine further alleged in said suit that the bridge commissioners represented that said work was necessary tn order to make showing at the bride site before the legislative com mittee came down to view the sur |rounings:
 "And, whereas, at this term of the Jefferson circuit court said suit was settled by the commissioners thereby admitting the truth of the allegation of said complaint:
 Now, therefore, be iS resolved. it is the sense of this levying court that the bridge commissioners be and they are hereby required to appear before this levying court, with their books, vouchers and receipts; to the end that the levying court may have ail Opportunity to lnterroeate the bridgs commissioners as to the expenditure of all sums up to this date"
