----~AA~ Kind Thoughts and Remembrancss to
 Dennis O'ReiIIy by Kzis Late Employ
 es i'm Providence.
 The following article clipped from the Providence Telegram of December 30 clearly shows in what esteem Dennis O'Reilly, who will soon take the position in Belton & Neely's store of general manager, is held by
 his friends in Providence, R. l.: For more
 than twenty years Dennis O'Reilly has been
 connected with the great mercantile house of
 Calender, McAuslan & Troup, popularly
 known as the Boston store. Man and boy
 his has been familiar figure sbout the ss-
 tablishment for over two score years, and
 now he is on the eve of his departure to an-
 other city and another Slate, having under
 taken the management of mercantile house
 at New Haven. For many years MT. O'Reilly
 has held the position of superintendent
 at Calender, McAuslan 6 Troup's, position of great responsibilities
 and one which none but man of strong character, unt1rlng ener- gy and great executive ability could fill. As superintendent he became responsible to the firm for the management of 8 small army of employees, and in all the years of his superln- tendency he never failed to give the utmost satisfaction, as well as those in subordinate positions as to the chiefs of the house. It was with feeling of the highest friendship that this army of clerks, salesmen, sales women and other employees assembled in the store after closing last night, for the purpose of presenting Mr. O'Reilly with testimonial of their regard.
 Mr. J. H. O'Loughlin of the silk and velvet department was chosen to act as the mouth piece of the employees, and as soon as all 1nfi submitted and adopted with great enthusiasm: whereas, Our friend, Mir. Dennis O'Reilly, termi-
 mates bis connection with the firm of Messrs Cal present year for the purpose of taking charge of Messrs Bolton & Nicely IS house in New Haven, we, retail department. which MT. O'Rei1y has managed so successfully for many years regret eSceeoingly superintendent we lose a warm friend, genial companion and one who was eninently qualified to
 m els That T'e befor Mr oRs depaue from amongst us we manifest in more substantial
 for h and that he be presented with some fitting token of friendship before leaving souvenir coming from generous hearts and loyal friends as Resolved That, in all relations with Mir. Den his O'Reiliy manager, have been treated with the kindest consideration, and wishes ara that he may enjoy many years of life in his new home,
 and that his past associations with Providence since childhood, and the Boston store since early man. hood shall call to his meRery pleasant remin- iscences.
 The resolutions being adopted Mir Lough- lin turned to Mr. O'Reilly and producing a case of flashing diamond iewelry he presents ed it in the name of the company present, and in the hope that no distance of time or place would ever cause him to forget the host of affectionate friends in the Boston store, | who would never cease to remember him as g good, kind man and just one, one in whom \ justice to all was blended with fidelity to the | firm and strict conscientiousness in all | things. The casket contained a beautiful \ pin of Shamrock design, the leaves being formed by three large diamonds of the pur- | est water, diamond collar stud, pair of ! diamond sleeve buttons and a magnificent \ watch charm studded with diamonds in the | form of a Greek cross.
 MT. O'Reilly was too much moved to make | any lengthy acknowledgement, but what he | did say came straight from the heart and ! went straight to the hearts of his friends.
