vERSARY.
First Annual Reports OF the Board Of
Directors, Librarian and Treasurer.
Omeers for Che Ensuing Year.

The Intellectual audience which par tiei-

ciety by their conduct and benefcent acts.
The hall was brilliantly illuminated, not
only with the gas j,ts but also the genius
conspicuous on the shelves, and the smiles
of both sexes. The President, r. B. How
ell, presented the first annual report of the
Board Of Directors, after having made a
few appropriate remarks. Subsequently
the reports of the Treasurer, w. n. Duna-
way, and the Secretary, D. 81. Rains, were

Connecticut Election.

COMPLETE REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
The State Election in Connecticut on
Monday, resulted in a complete republic
can victory, electing Jewell, the repub-
lican candidate for governor, by some
1900 majority over Hubbard democrat,
and clear majority of over 30 over
all. Last year the democrats were
ahead till the legislature corrected the
fraud in one or two places, when jewell
was found to have about 100 majority.
The legislature is also largely republi-
can, the Senate stands republican ID
democrats Z and some twenty or thirty
republican majority in the House, which
is gain on last year.
The greatest republican gains in the
State are in the cities of Hartford and
New Haven, heretofore the democratic
strong holds. In Hartford the republi'
can, actualey elected their city ticket by
several hundred majority, and Jewell
had some so plurality for governor
New Haven gives but 5S1 democratic
plurality, which is less than half the
former democratic majority there. Part
of this republican gain is attributed to
the Irish voters, many of whom have
got sick of their old party leaders, and
voted the straight republican ticket.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS ON MONDAY.
The city election at Cincinnati, Mon
day, resulted in the choice of democratic
superior court judges, a democratic street
commissioner, republican trustee of the
water. works, and probably republican
county board of control The indica-
tions are that the next board of council
men will be democratic, and the alder
men slightly republican. Party lines
were not strictly drawn. Charter cleo
tons were held in nearly every city in
Michigan excepting Detroit, on Monday.
The democrats made gains in several
places. Evansville, Ind, elected the en-
tire republican ticket over liberal re-
form ticket by an average majority Of
1000, with out OF IL councilmen. =
Keokuk, Ia, elected the republican tick
ct by 307 majority.

BACKLOG STUDIEs."-In this un-
ique series of papers, now appearing in
Scribner's Monthly, Mr.. Warner, author
of "My Summer in Garden, . is doing
his best work. Here we have,-in
pleasant fiction of a talking group in
front of an old.fashionnd country back
log, -philosophic suggestion, sarcasm
that smiles, not sneers, bright bits OF de-
scription. social out-looks, and enliven-
ing all, a fresh, " crisp, yet juicy" and
delicious humor. Backlog Studies have
been quickly appreciated by the press.
The New York Times says that these
sketches, for light, airy, but genuine
delineations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the
present day" The Boston Transcript
says that for delicacy of touch, quaint
sentiment, and quiet humor, Backlog
Studies are the best of things in their
way" The Nation thinks that Back
Log Studies No. III. " renews and in
creases the evidence given in his pre-
vious per ormances that we have in him
humorist of real merit" Writing of
one of these papers, the N. Y. Mail says
it is the " best thing he has written, and
the best thing in its way any American
or English magazine has had for many
day." and the Boston Commercial
Bulletin says: Backlog Studies con-
stitute decided hit in magazine litera-

A SAD FALLING OUT.-It is indeed a
sad falling out when, after years of the
closest intimacy, the hair parts company
with the head. Fortunately the lament
able separation may be easily prevented
and the twain more closely united than
ever by timely and systematic use of
LYONS KATHAIRoN, the mos. potent in
vigorant of the hair and promoter of its
growth and beauty known to modern
pharmacy. 1t completely obviates the
dry and parched condition of the roots
of the hair, which is preliminary to its
coming out, by supplying the precise de-
gree of moisture requisite to It's preser-
walton in healthy state. 1t is the only
true dissolvent and evaporant of dand-
ruff and other impurities of the scalp,
whose presence is injurious to the hair.
As beautiier of the head the Kathai-
ron has no equal. 1t not only increases
the quantity of the hair, but improves
its quality Immediately, impartiDg a Ius-
trous appearance and silky texture which
are exceedingly attractive.
