Tasty Improvements V. f.
Schmitt has recently had I. n. Carson,
plasterer; J. II. Hawke. painter; John
Nickel, wood worker, and other arti-
sans at work upon the interior of the
pastoral residence of st. Michael's
church. The edifice has undergone
a complete overhauling and real
metamorphosis is the result. Parlors,
dining-room and chambers are
brilliant with new, fresh colors in
paint, paper and carpet. The dining
room particularly is a gem Of beauty
with its bright gold panel, and broad
borders of brilliant floral hues. The
sanctuary in the church has also been
handsomely upholstered and carpeted.
The entire improvement has been
effected under the personal supervision
Of the pastor, whose well known dis
elimination in matters OF taste is always
a guarantee Of happy results.
TIE .fn?,U0; Statements Officers
whose business it has been to note the
annual statement Of the financial op-
erations and condition of the town say
that the one for this year is the best that
has ever been issued. An excess of
$G32.l4 of resources over liabilities,
nearly all Of which is cash, presents a
good showing, and, compared with the
state OF affairs not many years ago,
when tho town was more that sum the
other way, the exhibit ought to crafty
the taxpayers. The single item Of in
solvencies only exceeds recent reports
under that heading, owing mainly to
assessments of property involved IN
litigation and the transfer of one 10
church possession. ! new and inter
e5jiEg feature Of the report will be
found in the statement by detail of
the sums expended on the several
streets.
4 Good Place to StOp-R. Lichen-
stein has removed from his St. Mich
olaS hotel quarters to the Hotel Elber-
on, near the bridge in Cumberland.
The house is large, roomy, comfortable,
well ventilated, lighted by electricity
and furnished III first class hotel style.
The table is beautifully supplied with
seasonable edibles, temptingly pre-
pared and promptly served by careful
attendants. All the accommodations
are given at Il low price-an induce
ment these times-and Us the landlord
is one of the cleverest of his profession,
patronage ought to flow in upon hiin
like a river. Erostburg sejourners in
Cumberland will find by stopping with
him that all we say here is true.
