Alderman Cornish arose and said: AS we
come together this evening we see about us
the evidences of universal mourning. Our
streets are darkened with the symbols of
grief that we are accustomed to display when
death has taken our nearest and dearest. The
dread event so long feared has come silently
upon us, and we have left to us but the cher
ished memory of the man whose untimely
fate made him the beloved of the nation.

ToIIing the Bells.
The proclamation was as follows:

The proclamation was as follows:
MAYORS OFFICE, Sept. 90, 1881. In view
of the death of the president, the chief of pc.
lice will cause the city hall to be draped in
mourning, and at IL o'clock to-day the bell OF
the city hall to be tolled until o'clock. The
fire engine houses will also be draped in
mourning, and the fire bells tolled from IL
o'clock until 1; and the clergy in charge the
cathedrals and churches of the city are request
ed to cause the cathedral and church bells to
be toled also from IL to o'clock.
EDMUND RICE, Mayor.
The proclamation was generally compiled
with and during the time named the bells
rang out singularly sombre clangor. The
work of draping the buildings was probably
commenced by Jallor Jessrang, who at early
dawn unfurled flag, surrounded by deep bor-
der of sable, at half mast on the flag staff at
the city hall.
This example was generally followed
throughout the city, and from numerous
fiagstaffs the starry banner Tapped to the
breeze, and told by her half-dimmed azure
and red, more eloquently than words, of the
nations sorrow. Betmes the labor of draping
the fronts of business houses, windows and
entrances of public buildings, with hanging
wreaths and festoons of commingled sable and
white, commenced in dead earnest, and was

and festoon, greeted the eye at every vista.
Third street ard other prominent thorough
fares bore the appearance of newly 1edged uu-
dertaking establishments, each trying to outvie
his rival in extent and disposal of the habili-

The state capitol, entrance to the custom

building and old court house and sheriff's Of
fee, were all tastefullv draped in mourning.
The resources of dry goods stores were taxed
for material and skilled service was pressed
into requisition.
In draping the capitol alone 2, 400 yards of
cambria or Grape and muslin were used.
The Opera house and all the leading hotels,
banks, newspaper Offices and prominent whole
sale houses were draped in the same sable
material, more or less variation and ingenuity
being displayed in arranging the display. In
short, the desire to give some outward tribute
or token to the feeling of sorrow was univer-
sally manifested by the sympathic and public
spirited citizens of st. Paul.

The board of trade at its meeting yesterday
morning omitted the usual call and adjourned

~ Al The Sunday evening services

T At the Sunday evening services
at the campmeeting, Rev. b, s. Taylor
of Shoreham made some remarks on the
vices of the people, in the course of
which he repeated an assertion which
he said was made to him by physic-
ian, that not more than one girl in ten
is virtuous when she arrives at years of
maturity. This was highly interesting
information to force upon the attention
of the hundreds of young and presuma-
bly, virtuous girls who heard him, and
the reverend gentleman enlarged upor
1t to an edifying length. Every maj

~ One of the nuisances of the newl

T One of the nuisances of the newl-
paper business which has grown into
large proportions is the requirement on
the part of patent medicine advertisers
of one and sometimes two weekly read
ing notice in addition to the advertise
ment. For some strange reason these
are expected as matter of Courtesy
or something to that sort, for no increas:
ed price is offered for their insertion.
The practice seems to have started with
the many "patent outside" papers
whose small circulation rendered them
worthless for advertising purposes
unless the advertisements were coupled
with continual puffs in the reading
columns to force attention to the won
derful remedies which they extrolled.
From such beginning the practice has
extended through the weak submission
Of the publishers of respectable papers,
until our own paper and many of our
best exchanges have frequently contain
ed a column or more of these beastly
puffs. The publishers get no money
for them; the readers certainly find
them of no interest. In fact, they are
calculated to disgust the patrons of the
papers.
Some time since we formed deter
mination to submit no longer to this
demand on the part of advertisers, even
| though it cost us the loss of some bust
ness. We believe that our readers
would be far better pleased to have our
reading matter and advertising more
distinct. Accordingly as fast as the
advertising contracts have run out we
have refused to renew them if the read
ing notices were made necessary con
dition. In few weeks our columns
will be free from them, with the cxcep
ton of two or three for which we hav'
received an extra price for insertion
We trust our patrons will appreciate
the charge, and will make up for thu
parture may cause by speaKlng gUU'
word for us among their neighbors
and procuring us additional subscriber
where they can.
While we are upon this subject W.
would ask our exchanges if it is no
abont time the newspapers of Vernon
met this absurd custom by firmly ant
unitedly refusing TO publish any read
ing notices whatever, as part of ad
vertising contacts, except such editoria
notices as they may see fit to give
Patent medicine advertising is not Sc
remunerative that any editor can affor(
to allow so much of his reading space
to be arbitrarily controlled by the ad
vertisers without remuneration. Blu
whatever other papers may do, thu
columns Of the Register are going to be
nearly free from this nuisance. If ad
vertisers will pay an adequate price fol
the reading notices we will insert them
otherwise we shall not. AS few adver
Users will do this our readers may soor
depend upon being no more offended
by any long array of patent medicine
notices in our columns.

B-The New York Times says party
ofabout fifty men has for several nights
past assembled in the woods near Irv.
ington, N. j., whose avowed object is To
kill the man who shot President Gar
field. If they assemble in the woods
long enough very likely Guitear will
happen along there some night, when
they can just take vengeance on him.
1t is said each man of them has taken a
terrible oath to kill Guiteau. AS there
is only one Guiteau 1t appears that
about forty-nine of them will have to
break theoath unless they can elaborate
a plan by which each can have an equal
and simultaneous share In ending the
life of the pestiferous scoundrel. But
on the whole 1t would seem as though
those masquerading Jerseymen had
better stay at home and let the law
deal with the assassin.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1884
THE PRESIDENT.

There was change for the better in
the condition of the President on Sat
urday afternoon, which caused the
gloom and dependency which had
prevailed for several days TO give place
to a feeling OF hope that has almost
increased to confident belief In his
recovery. He had been given up by
the most hopeful of his attendants on
Saturday, everything in his condition
and symptoms indicating that he must
soon pass the dread portal. He was in
a stupor much of the time, his pulse
was very rapid and weak and the tenn
perature low, and the "angry" abscess
of the parotid gland seemed to render O
change for the better improbable. The
unexpected happened, however, The
gland changed to healthier tone, the
mind became clear and the strong will
resumed its sway, and the stomach
again made its demands felt. The his
tory oflthe case since has been one of con-
tinued though slow improvement. The
swelling under the ear has discharged
healthy pus freely through the incision
made for that purpose, and is great!
reduced. The President demands ant
takes plenty of proper food, which il
assimilated, thus supplying the needed
strength to expel the poison from thu
blood. There was no marked improve
ment yesterday, but the physicians So!
that the patient held his own. 1t il
believed that in few days he will b,
on the direct road to recovery. Ill
will be removed from Washington a
soon as his condition permits.

matter which deserves the attention

there are plenty of "inhuman and saw

helpless animals causes the blood to boil
in every generous bosom. By all means
let us have branch of the society with
the long name in Vermont. Our laws
are all right, but we want somebody
interested in enforcing them.

~ Emory Storrs of Chicago says
that in case the President dies, very
good defense could be made for Guiteau
on the ground Of malpractice by his
physicians. AS the only ground for
such claim is afforded by the foolish
newspaper criticisms of the physicians,
it might happen that the newspapers
engaged in that congenial business
would succeed in saving the villain
from the halter. Perhaps that is what
they are trying to do.
