renowned, not alone for its beautiful shade
trees charming drives, and pretty girls, but for
the number OF scandals that start up in night,
rs it were, affordng rich food for the gossipers,
and causing Ill good people to raise their hands
in holy horror; they wondering, meanwhile,

unusual spendor. 1t is citizens party given to
help this noble building on its way to prosperity
and success A pretty sum it has cost them too,
but the money paid with cheerful alacrity, all
believing and hoping the hands into which 1t had
fallen would lend their aid to sustain it's good
