the committee. Single admission 70
c-nts, season ticket, 80 cents. Chill
dren 3 tickets Is, single admission and

different from almost any enterprise OF

hope they will be well patronized as
almost everything in the way ofChrist-
mas presents can be purchased of them.

An Imp0rtuntng FOOipad

Between eight and nine o'clock last
evening, while VIM. B. Wiley was
walking up shiplev street above
Eighth, he was overtaken by a well
dressed young man who remarked
"this is fine evening" After walk
ing along side OF Mr.. w. for a short dis
tance, he increased his pace and on
getting about twenty yards ahead,
turned short around, walked back, and
on meeting Mr.. Wiley he stopped Mr..
w. and said in determined manner:
"Look here, want your money" Mr..
Wiley remarked, 81 have no money"
Well, he replied, 81 want all the money
you have" Mr.. Wiley then raised h is
voice as loud as he could, and began to
show fight, and said, "If you get any
money from me you will have to knock
me down first" don't want to do that
he answered, and as Wiley started up
the street the rascal ran down Shipley
to Eighth, where he was joined by
another man, and the both ran of
towards Orange street.

Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, several
specimens OF Lithograptic card and cal
ander printing which would almost
make us doubt the old saying that "per-
lection in anything can never be reach

by group of cards which enumerates
each day in the year, and containing
quotations from Shakespeare appro-
pirate to each day In the year. Another
is manufactured In the shape of an
opening bud each leaf enumerating a
day in the week with beautiful poe.
tic quotation appropriate to the holiday
season. A number Of exquisitely de-
signed cards also occupy the collection.

TO Some OF Our Subscribers.

For long time past Mr.. George R.Rob.
erts the regular route collector for the
REPUBLICAN, has been calling upon the
subscribers every two weeks for their
subscriptions, but owing to the fact
that Mr.. Roberts had to attend court
as witness the week before last the
subscriptions on some of the routes
consequently went unpaid until the
present week when double the former
amount was due. SO regular has Mr..
Roberts been in his visits that num-
Der who have been taking the BErUR-
LICAN regularly, and paying for it just
as regularly, forget that Mr.. Roberts
did not call upon them two weeks ago
and consequently instead of owing
twelve cents, they would now owe
twenty.four cents. We only mention
this as number of our subscribers who
have disputed their bills when Mr..
Roberts called upon them, will be re-
minded that they owe "A cents this
week instead of II as formerly.

Mid night Disturbance.

AZ an early hour last evening large
number of colored individuals male
and female began to pour into a two
story frame house in the middle of the
of the square between Madison, Monroe
and Third and Fourth streets; new ar
rivals kept on coming up till . o'clock,
some carrying bundles, others baskets
and turkeys. In a short time after the
house got filled the fun began to the
annoyance of the whole neigh borhood,
they kept up continual yelling, sing
ing, jumping and laughing and in the
midst of this hilarity the annoyance
was further increased by the appearance
of couple, male and female who began
a regular pugilistic exhibition on their
own hook. The screams she uttered
awoke the echoes. A number of the
inmates came out and hustled her back
after which affairs quieted down sutIi-
GENTLY to allow the citizens in the
neighborhood to sleep.

Specially Reported for the REPUBLICAN.
New CASTLE, Dec. 3.
Chief Justice Comegys and Judges
Wootten and Houston decorated the
bench at the opening Of Court this
morning, and the lively and intensely
interesting Harris ejectment case again
played the part Of delicate opiate tt
the few spectators, the jury, bar and
Court.
Previous 10 the opening the case,
however, upon motion Benjamin Nields,
Esd, the case of Samuel N. Pusey VS..
James Grub, was continued until
next term.
Chas. Sparks was the first witness
called in the Harris case, his testimony
was mainly directed to the position OF
fence dividing the property OF Leonard
and Harris.
VIM. r. Griffenberg, Jr., was next
called but he was objected to as a wit.
ness by Messrs. Spruance and Bates on
the ground that he was tenant of the
land in dispute up to 1877, and that
being within three yesrs of the date
of this action must invalidate his testi-
mony.
A short argument by Mr.. Spru
who cited several authorities was fol.
lowed by decision of the court which
covered all the authorities bearing upon
the case, and ended in the objection be.
ing overruled. Judge Houston differ
ing with the judgement Of the court.
The witness then testified as to the
position OF the much disputed fence IN
the year 1874.

considered and disposition was shown
to vote for the bill. The matter of ap-

THE ELECTION In LOUISIANA.
A Uaance for q Republican victory
Upon q Fair COunt-sfKns SHOW
ing That This Will be Behind.

NEw-ORLEAHs, La, Dec. 3--Twehty
four hours have elapsed since the clos
ing of ths polls throughout the state,
aud as yet things are badly mixed. 1t
would seem that the Republicans stand
chance of victory should the vote be
correctly counted.
Already, however, judging from the
signs of the times, the Democrats are
working against true return, and as,
owing to the size OF the STATE aud want
of proper facilities for inter-communica'
tion, all the parishes cannot be heard
from for fortnight or more, they Will
have full opportunity to arrange mat
ters to suit themselves. If they wish
to do so it is pretty certain that such
true return will not be made.
The signs Of the times are these: To-
ward midnight last night, two polls IN
the Town of Gretna, Jefferson Parish,
were invaded and the ballot boxes were
destroyed. These polls were very
strongly Republican, the negro vote
there being very large.
In Algiers, opposite New Orleans,
at another Republican polling place,
irregularities were charged by the
Democrats, and the Deputy Sheriff
seized the box, and brought it, open
aud amounted, to the Clerk OF the
Criminal Court Of this city. In this
Aauner the entire vote at that poll was
lost.
At Poll No. 6, Third Ward, this city,
the Republican Commissioner of Elec-
ton objected to day to the count, charg-
ing with an irregularity. The two
Democratic Commissioners giving no
satisfaction, the Republican withdrew
and the Democrats elected Democrat
to fill his place. The box vas then
sealed and brought to the court.
1t is alleged that yesterday, BULLDOG
ers from Ouachiti passed. over into the
strong Republican Parish of Madison
and managed the election.
In an election squabble in st. Mar
tinsvil,e, Earnest and Onesiphon Della
Houssave were shot and killed by Emile
Deteige, Republican candidate for Sher-
if, The latter was mortally wounded.
In spite of bull-dozing and false re-
turns, this Republican vote shows a
large gain upon that poiled at the last
election. The count of the poll in the
city, footed up tonight, shows that
Wilt, Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, has 1905, and Bsat.ie Republi-
can, GOT, votes. The vote upon the
remainder Of the ticket is in about the
same ratio.

CATHOLICS AND SCHOOLS.
An Omeial' Statement Of what
Archbishop Williams said.

Archbashop Williams said.
BosroS, Dec. Am official statement
has been made concerning the recent
utterancs Of Archbishop Williams, OF
this diocese, at the recent meeting OF
Catholic clergy in Boston, with regard
to the Catholic school question. The
subject for several days has been a
matter OF extended comment, and IL has
been deemed necessary to give cor.
rect statement OF the matter to the pub
lie.
AT the assembage referred to the
Archbishop urged that Whenever prac-
ticable Catholic schools should be- es-
tablished in every parish, and as far as
possible made equal to public schools.
They are regarded as practicable where
their establishment and support would
not create any serious financial emtar-
rassment, or impose too grievous q
burden upon the resources OF the faith
full.
As in the absence OF suitable, Cath.
olic schools parents send their children
to the public schools rather than allow
them to grow up illiterate, they should
make II matter Of conscience TO take
due precautions against the dangers of
such schools, and attend diligently TO
the instruction Of the children in the
Christian doctrine out of school hours.
In connection with this, the Arch bish-
op read from instructions sent TO Bish-
ops of the United States through the
Roman Propaganda, in docume mt da-
ted Nov. "A, 1875, and printed in some
papers in this country soon after It's
reception. This document refers to
the circumstances under which "Catho.
lie parents may with safe conscience
send their children to public schools
where (the danger being made remote)
sufficient cause exists.
Such cause would commonly exist
where there is no Catholic school at
hand, or where that which is accessible
is little suited to educate the children
properly, or suitable to their condition
in life" The Archbishop said "In
case of persistent difference of opinion
arising between the pastor and parent
as to the sniliciency alleged, the matter
must be referred to the decision of the
Bishop, whose decision will govern the
conduct of both pastor and parent.
Parents who, Tor good and sufficient
reasons, omit to send their children to
Hne parochial school, but otherwise se-
cure for them efficient religious instruc-
ton may, il well disposed, be admitted
to the sacraments. No priest has right,
save in the rare and exceptional case OF
public scandalous sinners, to publicly re-
fuse any of the sacrements Of the Church |
to any Catholic reasonably applying for
the same. Accommodation, as also
public denunciation of individuals or
designated classes, is strictly forbidden
to all priests Of the diocese in this as
iu all other cases"

Music al the Union Sunday school.

The officers of Union NJ. L. Sunday
School have just procured 500 copies of
a hymn book for use in the Sunday
school, called "Heavenly Carols" The
books cost ten cents piece, and about
35e of the scholars and teachers have
purchased their own books. Some
good music may now be expected.
The Hayes quartette has been en-
gagged by the school to give a concert
probably on the 18th instant, the time
not yet being definitely determined
upon. About half the programme will
be in regular concert order and the
other half will be rendered in "Old
Folks" costume. The proceeds will be
applied to the expenses incurred by
having the sunday School room re-fres.
