Crews, Superintendent. There will be no preaching service, morning or evening, owing to the pas tor’s sicltness, or, rather, to his weak ness and his doctor’B command. This preacher is about well, he thinks, but doctors will be doctors, God bless them! The Pastor will be at Sunday school and he wants to say a few things to every boy and girl that belongs to the scltool, and all others, too, who would like to hear hint. He will go away on Monday, for a little while, but when he returns he means to bring buck a wonderful talk to Boys, for Girls, on the subject, The Girl nnd Her Doll.” Remember, boys, the talk Is to you and grown folks, but for girls. By the way, boyB, somebody has stolen my dog, “Japan,” that I preached to you about. Find him for rite while I am away, and T will give you the biggest sermon I ever prench- cd in my life—nnd it will be short, too. During the pastor’s absence the prayer meetings on Wednesday even ing will be kept up, of course. God bless yon, brethren and friends, pray for me! .

Fifth Sunday after Epiphany. - Celebration of the Holy Communion and sermon, 11a. m. Evening prayer and sermon, 7:30 p. m. Sunday school, 9:45 a. m. At the second meeting yesterday afternoon of the committee composed of members of the city council and ^ of the board of county commissioners, no definite action was taken in the matter of awarding a contract for the erection of the high school building. ! As stated in The Herald of yester day. the bids which were opened at noon ranged higher than was antici pated, and the committee could not see its way clear to award a contract to either of the bidders. The second meeting was held nt 2:30 p. m., and was without further definite result. It' is apparent that one of three things must be done: a contrac tor with a lower bid must be found, the plans and specifications of the pro posed building must be amended on less expensive lines,' or more funds must be made available. The city nnd county have $25,000 with which to build and equip the school building. The lot was pur chased for the sum of $5,000, which comes out of the general fund of the city nnd county, whose interest is com mon. The bids received yesterday have not been formally rejected. The mat ter stands in statu quo, and will so remain for a few days at least. Every effort will be made to overcome the obstacles that have presented them selves, so that no doubt may remain ns to the completion of the building in time for the opening of the fall school term next September. . | The committee will hold another [meeting Monday morning, when, it is i hoped, matters will be in such sTiape that a contract can be awarded. THE ALBANY GUARDS PROCURE AN ARMORY. Will Use the Chautauqua Auditorium For Tha* Purpose. The Albany Guards have secured an Armory at last, and they have a suit able one, and one that will answer all lequirements of the company. Through the persistent efforts of the officers, particularly Captain Brown, the Chautauqua authorities have leased the auditorium to Company E, and the company’s headquarters and drill room will be there hereafter. The Guards are to have the benches arranged on the sides of the auditpr- ium, so as to have a row of seats all around, and the large floor surface in the center on which to drill. This will be by far the largest drill room the Guards ever had. The floor slopes a little in the rear, but not enough to interfere with the maneuvres. The Guards are feeling very much elated over securing the auditorium as company headquarters, as now they will have a nple space for drilling and to perfect themselves in the. differ ent movements. v During Chautauqua, of course, the Guards will not have use of the audi torium. FINE PRESSURE FROM MOTOR DRIVEN PUMPS. They Were Tried on a Fire for First Time Yesterday Afternoon. Yesterday afternoon’s fire afforded the first opportunity that had been presented for testing the new motor- driven pumps at the waterworks sta tion for fire pressure. | The smaller of the pumps has been I in use for some time, furnishing do-, mestic pressure on the mains at all . hours. But when yesterday’s fire » alarm was turned In the big pump was put in motion. It exerted a steady pressure of S5 pounds on the mains, and the putting of two streams on the fire did not in the slightest degree reduce the power, the indicator at the station standing at S5 pounds until the fire had been extinguished. The streams put on the fire were of great force. They sent shingles and timbers flying like toothpicks, and the firemen had no fault to find. In case of fires on which It will be necessary to play a number of streams both the motor-driven pumps will be worked together, nnd a pressure of 110 pounds will thus be put on the mains. CARD OF THANKS. 1 wish to extend my thanks to the members of the Albany Fire Depart ment for the splendid and fearless ser vice with which they Baved my home from total loss by fire yesterday after noon. I also desire to thank my neigh bors, who saved me great inconven ience by their aid, and' while I hope thnt none of their homes will ever burn, yet, if such should he the mis fortune of any of them, I assure them that my home will be their home if they so wish. 3.
