from the fire. They, however, got there

manner considering the out-of-the-way
location of -the - conflagration. The

is said, . by their efforts saved Mrs.

RESULT OF WARD MEETINGS.
A Small
Attendance at
Monday.
Each Election
The few citizens who attended the
ward meetings last night for the purpose
of nominating councilmen and water
commissioners to serve our city, it seems
to ns is a ead commentary on the in
terest which is taken in the city's wel
fare. As near as we can learn, in one
ward eight citizens were on hand; in
another ten. and in the other about
nineteen. And yet into the bands of
the men to be elected is to be placed our
city's interests.
In spite of the negligence and little
public-spiritedness displayed, if the
council in the future should make a
mismove, or one that is not popular,
these very men who could not spare a
few moments in wbich to attend these
meetings will be the first to criticise,
complaii) and make it warm for the
council. The best material to be found
should be selected as councilmen, and
each ehould be on hand to vote and use
his influence to that end, and not wait
until they are elected and then 'kick.
Not that we predict there will be reason
for complaint, but it is the unconcern
displayed in the matter which deserves
criticism.
However, there were enough citizens
who have the city's interest at heart
and who attended to carry on the nom
ination, which in the First and Third
warda proceeded without contestants,
but in the Second was a little livelier.
In the First ward, where Harry Liebe
acted as chairman-and Jake Freeman as
secretary, Chas. Michelbach' received
the nomination for councilman for the
three-year term, and H. Clough for two
years. August Bucbler was nominated
for water commissioner.
- In the Second ward the names of
Laughlin," Johnston and Wakefield came
up for short term councilman. After
the first ballot Wakefield . withdrew,
leaving Laughlin and Johnston, and the
latter was nominated. For the long
term Langhlln, Kelly, Wakefield and
MacAllister were mentioned. The
latter'sname being withdrawn on -account
of so many councilmen and the
mayor being selected from one neighbor
hood, ,Kelly, Laughlin and Wakefield
were voted on, Kelly receiving ' twelve
votes and the nomination for the long
term.
V Ttje Third ward meeting lasted but a
short time, with N. J. Sinnott as chair
man and Max Vogt as secretary. Dr.
Wm. Shackelford was nominated for
councilman and Ed. Phirman as water
commissioner.
The election occurs Monday, and be
side these named, Henry Knck has been
nominated -for mayor ; C.J. Crandall
for treasurer, and J. F. Moore for water
commissioner at large. 1

ST. MARY'S ACADEMY EXERCISES
Every
Number a Gem and
Program a Treat.
the Entire
All were delighted who attended the.
closing exercises of St. Mary's Academy
last night, for although the entertain
ments given by them are always first-
class, that of' last evening reached a de
gree of excellence perhaps never before
attained. Particularly noticable was
the prompt manner in which the pro
gram was carried out, no. tedious delays
taking place, bnt everything moved like
clock work, wbich was much appre
ciated by the audience as the evening
was almost uncomfortably warm.
The stage had been prettily decorated
for the occasion, an immense amount of
flowers being used ; and when the cur
tain arose and four pianoB were displayed
Btationed thereon, all knew they were at
least to have a musical treat; and thev
were not disappointed, for the first num
ber was a piano trio by twelve young
ladies, and during the evening several
well executed selections on the pianos
were given and two splendid renditions
by the full orchestra, which plays re
markably well for children of their
years.
It is difficult from such a program to
select numbers especially worthy of
mention. The "Bow and Arrow Drill,"
by the little boys was, we might say,
perfectly executed. Indeed, it is dif
ficult to understand how Btnall children
can be so drilled. "Reminiscences of
Tenneyson," where his "Blow Bugle
Blow" was acted most gracefully by
nine little girls, attired in- appropriate
costnmes, while one recited it distinctly
and with expression, was beautiful, and
the "Scripture Scene" of th ten virgins
was as pretty a conception as we have
ever seen, while the grace displayed in
the tableau was captivating in the ex
treme. Very touching and pretty also
was the pantomine 'Angel Visitants,"
which was so well performed as to leave
no doubt as to its meaning even had the
solo been not so well rendered behind
the scenes.
"A Cinderella Plot," a one-act sketch,
was well acted by the young ladies, not
to forget the little ones, who assumed
their parts equally well. It was in
tensely interesting, and showed much
histronic talent among the pupils, as
well as careful training from the
teachers.
"Too cute for anything" was the ver
dict regarding the good night drill by
ten little tots in night gowns and cape,
carrying their dolls and caudles. They
kept time perfectly and ear so sweetly,
that everybody wanted to hug them.
When the last little one crept into bed,
it was amid a round of applause.
The teachers and pupils of the school
must have given much hard study and
practice to each number of the program,
and deserve much credit for the re
markable success attained.
End of the Chapter.
In writing the article last week con
cerning the foolish, unguarded conduct
of some of the young girls of our city,
The Chronicle suppressed a portion of
the facts which had been brought to
light for fear of thwarting the plans of
officers who were at work to bring to
justice the parties concerned therein.
Through the vigilance of our post
master it was discovered that letters
were received by these girls addressed to
"Maggie Coin," a fictitious ' name
letters which were unfit for any human
being to read, much less young girls,
who are hardly yet able to write an in
telligent letter of any sort.
The postal inspector being informed,
hastened to the city, and ferreting out
the whole affair, discovered that one
Temple, who is a member of the "Noble
Dramatic Company" was the author of
these scandalous epistles and was also
scheming to persuade one of the girls to
elope with him. The inspector at once
started for Nw Whatcom, where the
Noble Company was billed to play, and
finally arrested the fiend at that place a
few days since. ,
This, we hope wilt be the last of him,
as hiB is a penitentiary offense ; and
surely the girls have learned a lesson
which will prove of lasting good.
