On last Sunday Children's Day was
celebrated at both the Presbyterian and
NJ. i. Churches here.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The large audience room was made
beautiful by many flowers, ferns and
evergreens. Each window contained
ferns and daisies, and were very pretty,
indeed. In front of the pulpit was a
large arch made of evcrgreens, eight or
ten feet high. Around this, and with
the evergreen was the words in gilt /;
For the Masters Use lie Died for Us"
From the centre of the arch was sus-
pended Il star, cross and crown.
The members of the Sunday School
came into the room headed by the Sup
erintendent n. NJ. Motherall. After
singing Aud Lang Syne, the school was
seated, Rev. Joseph $. Malone, pastor of
the Church, made a short praper a reci-
tation, "Childrens Jubilee" by the young
members of the school, and followed by
singing questions and answers; prayer
by Pastor, and recitation by the wee
members of the school recitation, "Star,
Cross and Crown" by the young ladies
and gentlemen, at which time banners
having different devices were hung on
the arch.
The Pastor gave short address at
which time he explained to the children
the meaning of the star, cross and crown.
The exercises were very interesting and
pleasing in their entirety.
METHODIST CHURCH.
The Children's Day exercises in this
church, conducted by the Sunday School
scholars under the discipline of the Sun
day School superintendent, Prof II. S.
Goldey were very pleasing to the young
er and gave solid enjoyment and gratifi.
cation to the older portion ofthe congre.
cation.
The Church, particularly the platform
which extended the width of the church
was beautifully arrayed with flowers and
evcrgreens which added greatly to the
enjoyment of the occasion. In front OIL
the platform, in full view at entrance
was the word "Welcome" in large letters
of evergreens.
To do justice to the exercises, by full
and accurate description, would consume
so much space and time, that we mus
be contented to simply give a synopsis
of the program with few comments
At the beginning of the exercise duriul
the Voluntary on trombone, cornet
flute and organ, the scholars marched
quietly and prettily up the aisle to theil
respective places.
The address of Welcome by Miss Flora
Hill, was well rendered. The recitation
The Changed Cross, by Miss Maggie
Deputy, was recited with becoming pa.
thos the browning event of the program
was the construction of the ship OF
State" by fourteen boys and fourteen
girls. The way they acquitted themsel.
YES bespeaks credit, and is deserving OF
commentator. The singing by the in.
FAINT class and by the school was excel.
ent, and the accomplishments by the diff
ferent musical instruments added great
ly to the effect.
BY request the ship of State" was re-
peated in the evening, with varied pro-
gram, before large and appreciativc
audience.
Rev. N. NJ. Brown, pastor. gave an adj
dress to the children. in which lie gave
illustrations which was interesting to
both old and young.

Sometimes Grants are fruitless, and
we know of one that is now in our mind.
The baseball club of this town all loaded
into hack and went to Elkton to cross
bats with the crack club of that ancient
city. 1t was understood that the team
at Elkton would be ready to play when
the Newarkers arrived. The result of
the trip was fruitless. The Elkton club
could not be found, and the Newark
team turned their horses homeward, sad
but, perhaps, a wiser crowd.

Luxuriant Hair

scalp clean, cool, and free from dam
druif, and the body in healthful
condition. The great popularity Of

that it cleanses the scalp, promotes tho
growth Of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.

growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced

Ten Years Younger.

Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston,
writes: For years, was compelled
to wear a dress cap to conceal bald
spot on the crown of my head but now
gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair
Nigor is bringing out q new growth. I
could hardly trust my senses when 1
first found my hair growing but there
it is, and I am delighted. I look ten
gears younger"

others.
The loss of hair may be owing to I'M
purity OF the blood or arrangement Of
the stomach and liver, in which case,
q course of Ayers SarsaparilIa or of
Ayers Pills, in connection with tho
Nigor, may be necessary TO give health
and tone to all the functions OF the
body. At the same time, it cannot be
too strongly urged that none of these
remedies can do much good without
persevering trial and strict attention
to cleanly and temperate habits.

datiOn of the negroes in the South, Mr..
Johnson took his seat amidst great APP
plauSe. The outcome of this Wrangle
resulted in the seating of Johnson dele
gates to the
DISCONTINUE OF THE WARRENITES.
S. LOwenStein succeeded in getting
his motion through for the admission of
delegates unfavorable to the candidacy
of +. q. IngerSoll. and boldly shouted
that he hoped no gag law would be per-
mitted in the convention after several
efforts had been made to choke him off.
A futile effeTt was made to throw out
altogether the delegates from this ward,
but Gerhard Willrich was nominated
and the legislative convention adj
jOurned.
The convention was called to order at
2 O'Clock. The memorial which had
been presented by the Ramsey county
joint committee of Republicans and
Democrats, was accepted, and Judges
Brill, SimOns and Kelly were unquali-
fiedly Endorsed. After the nomination,
by reclamation, of five county commits
sioners and the election of j. l.. Lev
errors. MeSSrS. Ford and Osborne were
nominated for county auditor, the latter
receiving sc votes to Jim Burns candi-
dates 43. Capt. Burger was then NOM
mated for county treasurer. NJ. j. Bell
was carried through under the chaper-
Onage of Mr.. Evans, and Capt. Bean
obtained precedence over all corners
on the third ballot, Notwithstanding the
heavy fight made by the Richter forces.
In quick succession j. j. Egan was
Endorsed for county attorney and Samu
ell Morrison speedily downed f. w.
Zollman as candidate for judge of
probate. +. J. O'Hara was nominated
by reclamation for county surgeon, and
II. q. Blake for superintendent of
schools. DR.. Quinn was renominated
for coroner. Mr.. LOwenStein offered a
motion which was carried to the effect
that county committee of nineteen
members be appointed, one from each
ward, two from the county in each COM
miSSiOner'S district and six at large,
and the few stragglers who still re-
manned. hastily rose and the county
convention was thing of the past.

Better Gas and a Prospect for New
Depot Sheds.

DeDOJ SnSuS.
At the session of the chamber of COM
merce yesterday morning communica-
ton was read from President Cakes, of
the Northern Pacific road, thanking
that body for its expressions of kind
ness towards him. The st. Paul Gas
Light company submitted cOmmunica-
ton to the effect that arrangements had
been made to furnish an abundance of
gas the coming winter and to avoid the
failures of last year. Mr.. Brunson, sec
rotary of the Union Depot company,
stated that meeting of the directors of
the company was held Saturday. at
which it was resolved that the subject
of constructing new train sheds should
be postponed for thirty days. A meet
ing of the directors would then be
called and plans considered and agreed
upon, if possible, looking to the erection
of new sheds.
A resolution was adopted requesting
the committee on taxes and the city and
county officials TO confer with the COM
mittee on ways and means and taxes OF
the common council in regard to the tax
levy. President Driscoll called the at
tentiOn of the members of the chamber
to this matter, and stated that it was of
vital importance that it should be at
tended to. 1t was evident from the
cOmptroller'S report that unless some
thing was done taxes would be a great
deal heavier than they had ever been
before. Efforts should be made to Sc
cure reduction of the rates, and the
committee should be accompanied by as
many influential men as possible.

POLITICAL PREFERENCES.
Rumble of the Approaching DEM
ocratic County Convention.

Ocratic County Convention.
At the ensuing Democratic county
convention there will be numerous
states, but the one agreed upon by lead
ers of the party has assumed this shape:
Sheriff. John Clark; register of deeds,
George Moelier; county treasurer, p. j. Gle
sen; county auditor, NJ. +. Kahn; county at
torney, J. j. Egan; coroner, DR.. james d..
Markoe; judge of probate, E. 5. German;
Kerwin, Charles Liedmann, William G..
Strickland. Lorenzo HOyt and William Leip.
Yesterday the general trend OF con-
versatiOn amongst all interested in the
good of the city was that Chief of Police
John Clark should be nominated by the
Democrats for the office of sheriff.
George MOeller would make an admir-
able register of deeds, and would tittingly
ornament this, the first Office within the
distribution of the county Democracy.
p. j. Giesen for county treasurer is a
bulwark of strength, while the nomina-
ton and consequent election of NJ. F..
Kahn and j. j. Egan for their respective
offices are foregone conclusions.
DIR. James G. MarkOe would undOubt-
eddy make it warm for DR.. Quinn, who
has held the Office of coroner for two
terms.
The Second Ward Cleveland and
Thurman club have organized and
elected the following officers: Captain,
A. G. FlournOy; first lieutenant, M.
Egan; second lieutenant, f. Bolt: third
lieutenant, George Colby; orderly cap
tain, G. b. WilguS.
The club expect the pleasure of sere-
nading Eugene Wilson shortly, and will
be able to muster at least 200 men in
uniforms OH that occasion. Il meeting
will be held tomorrow evening at 226

litical world, and his temporary pose be-
fore the voters of the county is conse-

The legislative ticket as decided upon
by the caucuses Saturday evening, with
slight notifications, went through with
whirl. There were contests in the
Fifth and Eighth wards, while North
st. Paul chose three delegates instead
of two. as the call required. Delegate
johnson was disposed of primarily as a
result of the conventions deliberations.

the effect that there were but 240 votes

Demanded for the Health of Pub

At the meeting of the board of educa-
ton held last evening, communication
was received from the treasurer Of the
board showing receipts on hand, S4S,-
114.I6. A resolution was received from
the common council requesting the
board to furnish a statement of the
number of teachers employed and
scholars enrolled in graded and High
schools, the amount paid for salaries
and expenditures for buildings and
improvements for the year ending
Oct. l, 1887 and 1888, respectively.

the grounds around Hancock school be
cleaned up and embelished. Referred
to committee Oh schools.
Russell Dorr, from the chamber of
commerce, read number OF communi-
cations from the board of health and
sanitation and the physicians of the
city, Recommending that the noon recess
be increased to two hours instead of
one hour. The subject was argued
from hygienic standpoint, and it was
stated that other cities had already ex-
tended the time given TO school children
during the dinner hour. DIR. Muir
ply was present aud favored
the idea. He said he was deeply inter-

great deal of his time and attention to it.
1t was wrong to rush the children to
from their dinners, and it would not
seriously incommode the teachers
TO GIVE THEM MORE TINE.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on schools for investigation and
report. Supt. Taylor read his report
for the month of September, showing
whole number of pupils admitted,
1854; enrolled, 10, average daily
attendance, 9,4S1; enrolled in German
classes, $3.50. He had visited nearly
all schools during the month,
and was pleased to report that
the work of the schools began
in commendable manner. The addi-
ton to the High school was nearing
completion, and when finished would
give necessary accommodations to the
pupils attending that school. Mr..
Thompson moved that a committee be

IEnGE EAGAN.

When Mr.. johnson round up his brill
liant peroration most abruptly by Wig
orously arraigning the party pledged to
political publication, j. j. McCardy took
the floor and Stated-and with en-
phasis, too-that the speaker had made
mistake in assuming that all men
were rogues until they had proven
themselves honest. Then there was
not a dry eye in the assemblage, and
even Delegate Lowenstein was seen to
light fresh cigar, while his abdominal
muscles quivered like jelly.
There was an incipient movement on
foot to bring forward the name of Tom
Ryan for county attorney, but the
wrath of the Richter men, under the
leadership of W. III. Sanborn, was justly
