ln-laW, James E. SickleS, upon whose oath he
was arrested, as weak minded person, and

NIhe Jefferson club.

The Jefferson Democratic Club Is now
occupying its new headquarters in the
third story front of the Askew Building,
N. Il. corner of Seventh and Market
streets. The rooms, two in number, are
now appropriately furnished, and form
the handsomest and most comfortable
club headquarters in the city. The front
room is a commodious apartment, with
neat paper on the walls and ceiling and a
tasteful, Brussels carpet on the floor.
The Presidents table, Secretary's desk,
reading table, bookcase, lounges, walnut
chairs and pictures comprise the furni-
ture of the room, which it is proposed to
increase ere long by the addition of a
handsomely-framed, ife-size oil portrait
of Thomas Jefferson. The back room is
covered with mating and is furnished
with chairs and reading tables. The
work of fitting up such handsome quar-
ters is due solely to the exertions of the
members of the Club, who have earnest
ly labored for this result. The Club is
composed of active young members of
the Democratic party, and its member
ship is open to all Democrats of good
character between the ages of q to 45
years. 1t is a self-sustaining institution,
conducted on sound business principles,
and will do good service for the De-
mocracy of the city and county in future
campaigns.

anecdote will perhaps best illustrate the
idea we wish to give the reader. When

Treasury he visited Lynn. His expressed

an industry which contributed so largely
to the resources of national Treasury
was Immediately gratlfed. On entering
the work-room of one of the large manu-
factories, where regiment of male and
female operatives were busy with their
tasks, he was accosted by workingman,
who proceeded to deliver, on behalf of
his fellows, an address of elcome, which
for felicity of expression, elegance die

of the moment, surprised the distin-
