Editors Memphis Appeal:
On Monday evening q fair and festival
will be insugurated at the Memphis Club
Hall, and l desire 10 call me attention Of
the citiZsns of M mphis to the object of
the entertainment, which is stated to be
for the benefit of 81. Patrlek's Church,
CT rather TO aid In paying the debt in
CURED by the purchase Of Calvary
Cemetery, which was bought by Rev.
Father Riordan about two years since on
what was then considered very favora-
hle terms. The necessity for q new
cemetery that should be worthy Of our
growing and populous city, was patent
TO many Catholics ct that time, at whose
request and that of Bishop FeehaD, the
eIghty-oDe acres of land now forming
Calvary Cemetery were secured. Ten
thousand dollars of tins purchase money
has been paid, and $1,000 has been
expended for Improvements, while the
receipts up to the present time has
been only $500. About $1,000 is due
from parties who have purchased lots,
which it is impossible to collect at the
present time. On the lst Of January s
e0OO0 payment on the cemetery has to
be made, and the main object or the pres
ent fair and festival Is to obtain funds to
sid in making the payment. Father
Riordsn commenced operations 50 pas
tor Of st. Patricks about three years
since, and the result of his lA5pr is most
gratifying, and can be seer in the sub
stential Church edifice on Linden street,
which has a very large congregation, and
The fine cemetery on the fernando road,
which IL growing more beautiful day by
day, under TIE combined Influence Of
nature and art, and will In q few years
compare iavorably with any "City of
the Dead I" In the Southwest. Il Is To- be
hoped that our citizens generally, and
especially the Catholic portion OF the
community, will respond TO this appeal
and extend a helping hand to Father
Riordan in his financial difficulties.

TME So OF L
Revival Of the Ancient and
IGNORED order.

On Friday evening lsst, a large and
enthusiastic meeting of the old members
81 the ancient aBd honorable order Of
Sons Of N0itd, convened 1T the rooms Of
Mr.. Sam Su0ck, near the Overton Ho-
tel, Main street. Col. A II. Douglas
vas called to the chair, and In q few
words explained the object Of the couvo-
cation. Winter, he said, was rapidly ap.
prOschiDg-indeed was already on US.
The partial failure of the cr ps and other
reasons had supsrindGced 2 sort of CON-
marcisl and financial stRgnation, and
large numbers of the poor were in
truly 3 pitisb,e condition. Something
must be done to alleviate their
wants, and he knew Of no better way OF
doing 80 than waking up-resuscitating
our ancient and honorable order, whose
sole end and aim and object was the a.
deviation OF human suffering and mis-
cry. He eaid Z" waking Up,n because the
order was not dead, but merely sleeping.
The order was founded upon the eternal
principles of Charity, Friendship and
Truth, and like these rocks upon which
ii Is built, it, as IFS principles, is eternal.
After the address OF Col. Douglas, COM
mittces were appointed to take thenecss-
ssry steps toward the desired end Of re-
eySCikht4ES anu pultAIS III WOtE4IS oIOCI

We are sure that this bare announce

The st. Louis Democrat Of Friday
Whose statement about any person, Oh
set OF persons, who can be ever so re
motely accused Of the awful crime o
being Southern or Democratic, must bt
taken with considerable Margin has the
following about the late "Paschail HOUSE
| Association What is most remsTks
bic in the affair, is the Republican OF the
same date does not have a word about
these wonderful disclosures 4:
Mr.. John King, well and fayOrGbly
known to ali lovers of mint juleFs
brandy smeshes and other American
drinks, as the proprietor Of Kings SO.
loon, under the Planters House, has filed
2 petition in the Circuit court, setting
{ rth some rather curious facts connected
with the crest "Paschsil House Draw
ing" The petition is quite lengthy, and
having been filed 1T q late bCur yester
day afternoon, we are lot able at pres
eut TO give more than q brief synopsis Of
its contents.
1t states that Alex. Kelsey, Dan Able
and others, composed the "P4schali
House Association that Philip 5. Ian
ham was' selected as the agent to dispose
OF the tickets and attend to the other
UarC of the business, for which be was 20

guaranteed against all losses that might
be met. 1t was agreed that ell the tickets
remaining unsoid It the tims Ct the
drawing were 10 belong TO the persons
who had put in the property constituting
the principal prizes, and the stakeholder
who withdrew his property before the
drawing was to forfeit twenty-five per
cent. OF its value"
With this understanding Mr.. King put
in his house, worth SIS, coo. He states
that the Paschzll House Ess really
worth only S100. COG, and vas put into
the lottery as the fret prize at $3.50, coo (;
that the house OF Dan Able at Memphis
was worth S25 600, snd was taken il at
EGO GOO; the house on Eighth street, worth
$1,000 at SIS 0U0; the house on Morgan
street, worth 5000, ct $4,000; the house
on Chouteau avenue, worth $4,000, at
$40. OOO the house No T16 Chestnut street,
worth $1,000, at $4,000; the house No. Az
Morgan street, worth 5000, at SIS 600
the J ferson City house, worth $4,000, at
SIS 600; the house No. 1915 ChesAut
street, worth $1,000, at $4,000
He further states that 70,O00 tickets
were sold at $3.50, coo, and demands a
statement from the agents and commit
tee OF the association, composed OF Kelsey
and Able. He estimates the outlay for
d advertising, etc., at $50, 000, and asks for q
statement Of costs and expenses. He al
leges that Kelsey & Co, received ove
$500, eco, and demands that they be re
qGired 20 exhibit their accounts. He has
received for his share $4l00-S26G0 in
money and the balance in tickets, and as
his house was drawn By the association,
and he did not get as big a share as he
thinks be wss entitled to, he o objects
to making deed for the property, and
repudistes the whole business ss d ille-
gal transaction.
To morrow we expect to give 3 fuller
report Of this remarkable lawsuit.

THE BoOT AND sRoaTRADE

OF OdbaF s GilEiiand Their
InInense and Carefully Sc
Iected Stock

Memphis has many large and enter.
prislEg dealers 10 the various branches
Of trade. Many of our wholesale house,
would take rank among the first houses
of any Of the older cities. Their stocks
are selected with that care and inteIli-
gence which are the usual accon pant
ments of capital gained in legitimate
trade in this active business age when
nothing but good commercial and inen-
ciai ability could succeed against the &C
tive riValries of the times. We point to
these houses with q degree Of pride. They
are the bone and sinew Of our CONNER
oiAl strength. and by ah)rding the great
est advantages to retail dealers have at
trscted hither 3 trade which has given
cur city ils growth, and which has beer
q source of fair profit to themselves as
well as the hundreds Of purchasers who
would have sought more distant markets,
st largely increased expense and great
inconvenience.
Among those who have done much
that is creditable to Memphis in this
way, and afforded to purchasers sl that
iiberaiity and enterprise could offer in
any market, Rre Messrs. J. Ii. Goodbar
& J. r. &. Gilliland, Of No. col Main
street, who have already purchased their
third stock of fall goods, and whose i'm
menss storehOuse 20 B0W replete with a.
we'll selected a stock as w6s ever offered
in this market. Success has only slim
ulsted them to increased eXertiOns.
When a purchaser enters their stoT9, he
feels at once that the proprietors Of such
q house are active, energetic business
men that they are in earnest; thar they
know the wants OF the community in
which they live, and are able 10 deal
with customers in a liberal spirit. Mr..
GOodbRrh has just returned from the East,
where he has purchased in person q stock
Of boots, shoes, hats and caps, which We
now advise our readers cannot be sur
passed. Their stock, we aver, is one of
the most complete ever brought TO Mem
phis, and is exactly suited TO this mar
ket They do an exclusive wholesale
business. Dealers need no further infor-
nation on this subject. They will
scarcely leave the city without visiting
this elegant establishment.
