Birthday Celebration and Sevorol Condensed Locals Memorized nnd Jotted Down. Tho most crest-fallen individual who ever plodded his way uown that cir cuitous stairway from the council chamber was James llcnnlgan, tho cx member from tho Fifth ward, after he was informed by Chairman Lasnn that ho was no longer a member of the select council and was simply holding him self In contempt when ho offered to dictate to that body. When tho meet ing was called to order he nssumed his nccustomed seat, and after listening to tho reading or - - minutes by Secre tary Flunnery, n portion of which ex 1 'dined to him that his scat had bon declared vacant, he could no longer suppress his emotion and, rising, ob jected to their adoption. Not a mem ber of the council moved In their seats nnd the stillness was almost oppres sive when Chairman Langin, In fan oral notes, solemnly Informed him that the tlmo had passed when he could as sume tho privilege of addressing the chair, that he was now merely a plain, every-day citizen and any further ex planation from him could not possibly bo entertained. Ho cast his eyes Im ploringly about the room and even at tho group of scribes In the reporters' den for a glance of sympathy, but members and reporters were both deaf and dumb to his entreaties, nnd, pick ing up his coat nnd hat, he vacated tho "great objector's." desk and as ho ap proached the elevator (that Is not) ho Informed tho chairman that he would be present at tho next meeting and would come prepared to stay and as sume tho duties of the office to which ho was elected. During tho balance of tho session a resolution was Introduced asking that a special election be held on April 1 to fill tho vacancy caused by tho ousting of Hennigan. The lat ter, we understand, is already a can didate, and, If elected, Chairman Lan gan will have to desist from humming that refrain "I Don't Care If You Never Come Back," etc. Members Kearney and Tigue had a little scheme to In troduce, but it did not materialize. Now here is a little matter that should receive the Individual nttentlon of the school board, for wo know it will very much Interest the taxpayers. The night school which was opened has been dwindling it Us membership un til at the present time there is scarce ly an average of twenty scholars. There are two teachers, a principal and. his assistant, who are drawing seventy-live dollrs a month from tho school fund as their salary and we do not blame them, but the question Is, are tho mem bers of the school board aware that the attendance Is so meagre? If the young men who tlnd their way to Main street every night do not appre ciate the advantage offered them in this direction it would be better to close the building at night and expend the money for a more beneficial purpose. Street Commissioner Carroll was a very happy man last night, as he had his salary advanced one hundred and twenty-five dollars for the ensuing year by the same members of council who turned poor Hennigan down and de clared his seat vacant.
