Last night the Tom Marks Co, presented "The Irish Attorney" an- other good play with t1 good moral as well as plenty of comedy.
The play centres around two young men, one a musician, tiic oili- er a poet, who swear to be statinch friends and stand by each other.
. They room together in a buttcrctl and unfurnished apartment Iitlllsu, and are poverty stricken through lack of success in their profession until one diiy the wealthy actress comes to their assistance, whom they both learn to love and bccome some-what twisted up. Finally the father of Jack the poet, who is on Irish Attorney, wealthy and in search of a proper teacher for his daughter, turns upnnd flnds that the teacher he has selected is a rpartner to his own son whom he has dlsowned on account of his crazy poet profession.
The Attorney finally accepts terms for his ilauglitei-‘s teacher, but in the mean time the actress whom his son is madly in love with appears to give assistance when the Attorney with n keen eye for the ladies, although past the meri-
htntscll‘ and propnsesuiiarriage. To tinizingle the somewhat tangled tif- IIIII‘ I1 Fflfluires a good lawyer to ilo so and the Attorney happens on the job.

The Committee having this bri- gade in charge beg leave to report as follows:—
During the month of August last it was decided to organize n Boy's Naval Brigade in connection with the Charlottetown Branch of the Navy League of Canada and a Com- mittee was appointed to carry this into effect. A notice was published n the local press inviting boys eligible for this Institution to ap- ply for enrolment. Fifty-two boys responded and thirty-two were en- rolled. Lieut. Gordon, late of His Majesty's tRoyal Navy, kindly con- sented to actas organizer and in- structor uniiLthe services of n

The Sailors rooms for which ti se- parate entrance has ‘been provided on I-lavilnnd Streetuconsist of an entrance porch a reading room, a game room with toilet room and shower bath.

Lon-gworth vs. City olfibatlotte- town for damage: i! metruction of trees on her property, gave a verdict for the defendant. in charg- ing the jury at the conclusion of the hearing the Chief Justice set forth the grounds on which iictioii had been brought stating that the plaintiff was not suing on account of justificable acts on the piirt of the city, but for octhig in excess of what wan justificablc. Ills Lord- ship then cited the law bearing on this case as found in an act iii-, eorporating the City of Charlotte- town. According to this act the City Surveyor was given certain duties and the City Council had the exclusive power to prevent encum- hei-lng of the streets in any matter which they deemed necessary.
