vile spiri; which triumphs over the disgracefaI
event is one which has here more thu. = onee
shown itself daugerousIy conspicuous. The
center Of the capital Of the country and OF mach
of iu manufacturing ss usli a. mercantile aud
financial n,eresu, people here feel most ksenly
that the monster Of Socialism must b. kept
down, for here, fit uprsars it, husrid head

st. Patrick's Day, for wonder, passed Cd
without rain. The observance sutvsrdiy and
visibly. At least, was quiet. The professions
we're limited hr below their old proportions,
and the gallnai seth dids' turn out. Inward
" the celebration WAS, an led to believe, very
joyous. The Wit and whiskey flowed 10 paral-
lei and eopious streams aud the wstting of the
Green was observed most religiousiy il this
sort Of PRIVILEGED Carnival il the middle OF
Lent allowed 70 the Hibernian branch Of the
great Celtic race.
Lenten marriages seem to have become, BY
the way, rather more common than Of old.
One of the most noticeable, though very quiet
affair, was the wedding of J. s. Simonton, the
Chief Of the Associated Press, TO the stepdaugh-
elderly bridegroom Of the young and charming
lady is quite wealthy, being the owner. I'M

handsome salary in the important position he
occupies with relation to great daiiiss who

congratulations, ~ well ~ those of several
thousand of newspaper mes here and else
where.
