Mr. Mushback a Candidate for Con- Eress—Other Local Notes of General Interest. A regular meeting of the city council was held last night in the council chambers in the market building. A communication from Mayor Thompson calling attention to the filthy condition of the Franklin street sewer, which is a menace to the health of the city and should be abated, was re- ceived. It was referred to the committee oa streets. A petition was also received requesting council to extend that sewer to Hunting creek. An ordinance for tm- posing and collecting licenses for the year commencing June 1, 1896, was referred back to committee on finance. The com- mittee on public property recommended the appropriation of $1,500 for the pur- chase of a suitable lot in the second ward upon which the Hydraulion Fire Com- pany’s new house is to be built. The peti- tion of the Business Men's League to sub- mit to the freeholders of the city on the first Tuesday in June the question of the issue of $200,000 in bonds for the purpose of improving streets and building sewers was received. The finance committee re- ported adversely upon ihe petition, but sugge: in view of the fact that there seems to be a difference of opinion upon the sulject, that if, in the opinion of a majority of the city council it were necessary, an order should be issued for an election. The report referred to a special committee of five, consisting of two from the board of aldermen and three from city council. The board of aldermen spent the entir. sion in discussing the pro- m building law. Nothing definite was dene. Police Court.

Maud Fowell in Concert.—The given under the auspices of the Woman's Suffrage Association last evening at Metz- erott Hall by Miss Maud Powell, violinist, and Herr Rudolph yon Scarpa, pianist, as- sisted by local talent, attracted a large au- cience, which was amply repaid by the splendid music rendered by the two leading performers and thelr assistants. Miss, Powell never played better, the numbers selected by her showing every quality of her matchless style, tone and finish. She played two solos and was enthusiastically in both of them, being forced to twice after her second number. was also the recipient of handsome floral tributes that served to show the high appreciation that the audience had for her work. Herr von Scarpa rendered as a solo number a Liszt rhapsody, and he was re- in the same eniiusiastic manner. » also accompanied Miss Powell in three numbers. The local talent who assisted the soloists incluied Mrs, E. Z. Rice, Mr. Finckel and Miss while Prof. Arnold Meyer and uise Hellen acted as aecompanists. @ performers were received with much favor. The Suffrage Association will reap a generous harvest from the patronage be- stowed on the concert. . Mayo'’s Reci piano re concert 1—One of the most in- als of the year given by as that given last evening list Church by Mr. Arthur ‘0, assisted by Mr. William D. Me- tenor. Mr. Mayo is a planist of a at the Univer: DM Fr great deal more than the ordinary amount of merit, and his work Jast evening justified all the good predictions that his friends made in his behaif. A good audience listened to every number with rapt atten- tion, and was lavish in praise and encour- agement. Mr. Mayo's best work, perhaps, was in the Beethoven Sonata in E flat, in ich he showed his command of the keys w wh to the greatest advantage. His expression is y ‘ked, and his power of interpretation lent. In a Mendelssohn song without rds he displayed his power of expression at his best. and delighted his hearers with the splendid way in which he rendered It. Mr. land rendered a number of solos well-known Rubenstein’ Portraits of Washingten.--A lecture on Portraits of Washington” will be dellv- ered tomerrow afterncon at the hall of the Columbian University by Miss Elizabeth Bryant Johnston. Tomorrow is the anui- versary of Washington's fi inaugural and as such was selected for the date of the lecture.

This ex- traordinary company, cach member of which is a well-known star, is under the management of Messrs. Joseph Brooks and Charles Jefferson and was gotten together only after am enormous amount of work on their part. They began to endeaver to ar- range for a se! of performances by the company a little over a year ago, and as a result of the consummation of their plans all of the stars had to cancel their con- tracts for May and arrange to conclude their regular tours in April. Great as is the company, it was rehearsed as carefully and as conscientiously as if it was made up of amateurs. The old comedy will be present- ed with special scenery, and the play will be staged in an artistic and careful man- ner. But one performance of the comedy will be given by the company in this city and this performance will undoubtedly prove a rare treat to our theatergoers. ‘The Madrids’ Concert.—One of the musical events of the month will be the concert given by the Madrid Mandolin Quartet at Metzerott Hall Thursday evening next.

Happenings at the Marious Branches of the SchoolwRdae Ball, Botany and Bicytling—Notes. The recent spell of hot weather has hin- dered the progress! of some of the Hign School companies. Several drills have been lost, but they will, in all probability, be made up at the first opportunity. The company ribbons of companies A, B, C and E are being worn by all of the members and friends of the respective com- panies at the Central end Business schools. Company A’s badge is made of two strips of pink ribbon, “Company A” being print- ed on ome strip and the years ‘5 and "06 on the other, and connected at the top with a bow of the same colored ribbon. The badges of both companies B and C are strips of creamish gray ribbon, with large German B’s and C's printed in gold on them and a gold tassel attached. The Business School company has a badge similar to that of company A, the colors being blue and gold. Just now company C, at the Central, seems to be the favorite for carrying off the honors in the drill.

He left the first part of the drill perioa of almost two heurs to the discretion of the captains, but at 3 o'clock he had the bugle sounded and started all the companies through the pro- fram, to see how much time each took, so as to decide on the time to allow them. Company D, Capt. Howard Hoge, com- pleted the program in twenty-four minutes and company C, Capt. Jn foover, finish~ ed half a minute later, while companies A end BR, captained by William H. Von Bayer and Frank C. I 1, completed the move ments in twenty even and a@ quarter minute After the ‘rill Maj. Ross thought that forty-five min- utes, the time originally agreed upon,would rot be too much, as he intends to make this year's competition more dependent on the captains than ever before by allowing the extra movements in the time left over to count consider: Thursday the second battalion will have a similar drill, and the two drill days of next week will be spent tn the same manner by cach battalion.

FATHER TELLS HOW HIS BABY SUFFERED FROM ECZEMA, IN_ITS WORST FORM, GREW WORSE UNDER TREATMENT OF BEST PHYSICIANS. TRIED CUTICURA REMEDIES. GREAT CHANGE IN FIVE DAYS. TODAY EN- TIRELY CURED, WITH NICE HEAD OF HAIR. LIVELY AND HEARTY. T had a baby that had Eczema in its worst form, Thad one of the best physicians in the elty attend- ing her, but she continued to get worse all the time under his treatment. He finally adiitted that he was at his wits’ end. I then got CUTICURA REMEDIES, and in a FEW DAYS NOTICED GREAT CHANGE in her condition. She continued to improve after that, and TODAY IS ENTIKELY CURED, has nice head of hair, and is Hvely and hearty. I can fully recommend them ax being the best medicines for the cure of this disease. I spent considerable money for drugs and doctor's bills, Which was useless in this case, for I think if your remedies don"t cure, nothing will, I am telling every one that I see suffering about CUTICURA KEMEDIES, and can cheerfully recommend them to those in need of them.
