pearance they presented, and ex-

deeply grateful for the warmth and
cordially Of his reception. He com
mended the purposes of the order,
detailed the benefits that accrue to
its members, paid glowing tribute
to the men who achieved for it it's
present prosperity, and prophesied

Murphy, the popular restaurateur,
at the corner of Greene and Hanover
streets, has purchased the sole beer
privilege, at the Grand Encampment,
for $3.50. He has erected two large
stands, 50x50 feet in dimensions, and
an auxiliary stand, upon which is
placed a handsome soda water foun-
tain. Seventeen bartenders have
been employed for each beer stand,
and every arrangement made for the
satisfactory accommodation of the
expected thirsty crowds.
Another petition is being circulated
to remove the principal of the Ring
gold street school. This makes the
third one during the year. 1t is time
that this petty business was stopped.
If the petitioners are dissatisfied they
should make known their grievances
to the board, in the shape of specific
charges, and not impair the useful
ness of the school by general allega-
tons of Miss Dennis unftness.
