Reserv ing the valuable flag and other irticles of historic interest which had beengiven to the society The following newjnem bers were voted in last evening: Jeph Jamieson Airs Joseph Jamison "Who Explains That Appointments in Lighting Department Were in Ac cord With Law The special committee appointed by the of aldermen to investigate condi tions reported by Alderman Archambeault at the 'last meeting to the em ployment in the city departments of as sistants against the rules of the civil serv ice commission held a conference with the nmjor last evening relative to the infor mation flint' txi "assistants had been appointed in the lighting department con trary to the rules ollowing the opening of the conference Alderman Archambeault told of his writing to Secretary Dudley of the commission asking if there was an eligible list for clerks and stenographers and receiving a reply that there was and on the asking the alderman to forward the mimes of any jiersons employed who had not passed examinations he had sent in the names of two girls recently ap pointed Secretary Dudley then responded that the twd names mentioned were author ized for provisional appointment and that the department had made a mistake In sayiug that there was an eligible list for stenographers for'thdre was none He also said that a eommtinica'tion to the city so licitor would bo answered in a few days when the solicitor would give an opinion on the question uf employment of aldermeu in city departments The mayor then said prove of sensationalism year that every one the mayor's office was secure anv information in this case all the information necessary could have been secured to start with at the mayor's office He then read his requisi tion to the civil service commisison for two stenographers the commission's reply au thorizing him to make the appointments provisionally nnd also the letter from the commission notifying the young women oc their appointment These letters would have been shown to any one wishing to see them and showed that the appointments were made according to law and the whole controversy could have been prevented by coming to the office and making inquiries The mayor said that he did not object to the method the alderman took to get his information but lie did object to any alderman's standing up in an open meet ing and accusing him publicly of making illegal appointments lie said further both girls had tiled applications for an ex amination aud would take them when iipportunity came Ho said he endeavored to treat everyone fairly and was willing to grant favors when he could But he thought that before public charges were made that liofh sides of the question should be looked up nnd the person making charges should ascertain whether he had any occasion for them Aiderman Archambeault said that he took up the matter as two young women had come to him and told him that ap pointments had been made illegally On receiving word from the civil service com mission that there was an eligible list of stenographers lie took it for granted that appointments had been made illegally He said he had no apology to offer and that if there was an apology due it was due from the civil service oommission ol bovine what seemed to be a criticism of his action he said that he was not there to be disciplined and that he had a per fect right to the course he took The mayor thought that if he had been honest in his intentions that when ho received won from the civil service commission he would have brought the letter to the attention and asked for an ex planation instead of making public state ments that he could not support later The conference then rather wandered from the question to remarks that the ai derman had made to personal friends showing that his interest in the matter would seem to lie in an effort to get even with another alderman Aiderman Bos worth suggested that as the investigation showed Mint there was absolutely no truth in the statement that the mayor had em Joyed assistants illegally that the com mittee pass a vote exonerating him but tiie mayor said that it was unnecessary Mayor Hirer "Learn Officially

inspiring address on like to be He said in part: I' or years I had that to be rich was to accumulate money stocks bonds buildings and land The Youth's Companion the Success magazine and every teacher and speaker to boys told ot men who had been poor and forged ahead and finally become millionaires Everybody had been taught the same for years and no wonder the question much is he meant much has he?" rom observation during a term of years lbegan to notice that the mere possession of monej of itself bring happiness usefulness nor peace of mind I began to see men who were dwarfed and narrowed and shriveled by the love of it That itpas a handicap to many good boys who inherited anv great alnount of it and a curse to the weak boy I saw that tne prospect of inheriting money killed initiative robbed the world of many use ful men and made much trouble iii fam1 1 v1 nt the accumulation of much money lobbed many a man of his compan ionship and confidence I also manv people jyho were bitter and and jealous because thej get anv more than a bare living Then I saw another class who seemed to bring joy and sun shine everywhere Some had money 'and some bad none but worked together shoul der to shoulder for the general good of mankind It came over me that to be rich is 'to be to be willing to give of time and effort for the good of the community to be interested in the welfare of the boys and girls men and jvomen and help them to help themselves Everybody every where is looking for happiness There's only one to make others happy Mere are a few directions for being a rich Westfield man:
