The old LIE Bon Ton restaurant loses
none of its popularity by change of
managements. Messrs. Henkle and Katz
are both we'll known and deservedly
popular. Who could be better judge of
fine steaks and meats of all kinds than
Henkle and who knows better how to cook
and serve than Katz? All the old-time
patrons of this popular old-time restaurant
will find just what they want at the same
old stand o.day.-Bismarck Tribune.
The above "puff" was undoubtedly
written after the Tribune reporter had
feasted on free lunch at the aforemen-
toned restaurant. The Leader copies it,
however, in hopes that its reporter at some
future day may undergo similar treatment.

THE BEE BUZZ.

Why are people allowed to go on for ever abusing the public highway? Why will people do such things is, perhaps, the more pertinent question? There ought to be enough pride of appearances, even, to keep any one from using the roadsides as dumping places for stone heaps and unsightly piles of rubbish. Many yard and farm side has it's good effect marred or spoiled to the passing public by the roadsides grown up to brush and weeds and tumbled up rocks, old tin ware, broken crockery, boots, shoes, etc. It is hard to understand how self re- specting family can permit themselves to empty the dirt and debris of their cellar and kitchen and garrett into the face and eyes of the public. But so it is and some times even the inevitable sink drain runs on the surface, uncovered, in full view, oiorous beyond description, near the we'll, crossing the front yard into the gutter of the street poisoning the air and water of the whole neighborhood. There is no doubt that some people literally eat, drink, breathe and wash themselves in their own filth. Indeed, it is one of the most difficult problems of this en- frightened age to keep ignorant and shift less people from destroying themselves aud otbers with their sewerage.

Funeral of John Kilbride.

The funeral of John Kilbride, the vic. tim of the late drowning accident, oc- cured, Thursday forenoon, June B, from the home of his mother, Mrs Mary Scanlan Kilbride, at 10 o'clock to St. Rose church, where a mass of requiem was offered up for the repose of his soul, thence to the cemetery, opposite his home in the Glen, where his body was laid at rest beside his father gone before. The funeral cortege was preceded by Court Sandy Hook, No. 1852, A. OF. of A., who turned out in a body to pay member of their organization, followed by long line of relatives and friends. The bearers were first cousins of the de- ceased, Joseph M., Michael and Frank kilbride, sons of the late Patrick Kil- bride, James F., son of Edward Kill bride, Michael F.. son of John Kilbride and John F., son of Bernard kiIbride. The floral offerings were profuse and ap- propriate, the chief pieces being crosses, anchor and pillow suitably inscribed from the family and relatives, pillow from the Foresters and other offerings from neighbors and companions in life of the deceased, the whole covering the pail completely as it was borne to burial. The deceased was a good natured, inof- fensive man, withoutan enemy in the world, so his friends say; dutiful son to his widowed mother and an affection ate brother to the other members of his home circle. He was an employe of the N. Y. B. < P. Co. since his youth, work ing continuously since and staying with his family, with whom a wide circle of friends sympathize ill their bereavement. His employers and shopmares speak of him favorably and all depiore his sudden and lamentable taking away. For that penny-a-liner, that bat of literature, who committed a sacrilege in the temple of mothers heart and violated the great commandment of our common na- ture, Say nothing but good of the Dead." by his scurrilous report in Bridgeport evening sheet following the occurrence of this death, our towns peo- pie generally have nothing but supreme contempt. True, '.Vitiis memo sine nas- citur," but the author of the sereed ai- luded to might cast an eye backward over his own shoulder occasionally when mousing about for delinquencies in others and, unless he be purblind, he cannot fail to see his own trail in the How.

 eldest daughter of the late Michael
 Haugh of Walnut Tree hill district, to
 Thomas Mcclure of Shelton, Conn.,,

 morning, June 29, 1892, was the social
 event of the season in Catholic circles in
 this town. The ceremony, which follow
 ed nuptial mass, was performed by
 Father F. Fox in the presence of 5 host
 of friends and relatives of the contract
 ing parties gathered to Gake part in the
 sublime ceremonies by which the Roman
 Catholic church has dignified marriage,
 as we'll as to do honor to the happy cou- pie plighting their troth.
 Miss Haugh, arrayed in Il rich gown of sea blue cloth, with feather trimmings cut Zen train," q diamond pin glistening at her throat, the gift of the groom, was escorted to the altar by the groom's brother, Charles Mcclure, who also gave her away. Upon the arm of tue groom ieaned the bridesmaid, Miss Johanna Haugh, sister of the bride, with costume to match, both brlde and iady carrying bouquets of roses, which i;tvoTs the groom and best man displayed in their coat lapels. The bride looked happy, therefore charming. The groom was ev- cry inch man. Immediately after the lasr benediction, the young couple were driven to the home of the brides mother, followed by long procession of vehicles containing the invited guests, where they received the warm congratulations of their friends, after which delightful wedding breakfast was served. The we'd ding presents were many, elegant, costly and appropriate and included gold, silver ware, furniture, carpetings, bric-a-brac and pictures.
 Afterward, the bride, dressed in a suit of heliotrope broadcloth, with white faille silk trimmings, made ready for the wedding tour, which in- cludes Albany and Niagara Falls, extend ing over a week. Upon their return, they will take up their residence in Shel- ton, where a snug little home has been prepared for their reception. The BEE offers its congratulations.

Father Fox made stirring appeal to
 the liquor sellers, Sunday, from the all
 tar at St Rose. The substance of it was
 that some of the saloon keepers are vio-
 lating the law in their manner of con- ducting business and he threatened to in- stitrte proceedings against them and have their licenses taken from them, un- less there was marked change for the
 better. He spoke particularly of selling to children and minors, keeping open till very late on Saturday night and during mass on Sunday and selling kegs of beer to young men to be drunk in the woods on Sunday. Father Fox said he didn't see how the saloon keeper could prosper, for he had the curse of the broken heart ed wives, ,mothers and sisters. "But one will say,' said Father Fox, Eff I don't sell. some one else will.'' 'tWhy should you sin and lose your soul because some one else does." Another says, 'I have to keep open on Sunday in order to pay my license and make a living" By so doing,' said Father Fox, s'you are talk ing away from others means of liveli- hood and depriving families of the mon- ey they need to live on" He was talking to man, only the other day, who was not able to buy clothes that were fit to be seen at mass, because he had spent his weeks wages in the saloon. He said that there was nothing to keep a man from excess in liquor in this town, only his own self respect and, after he got drunk a few times, he lost self respect and then his descent was rapid. Father Fox said that he thought that he would be supported by the good and respecta- ole people of the town.

Sandy Hook Public Schools.

The school year closed in the primary and intermediate departments, Friday, June r, but the senior did not close till one week later. Besides the annual ex- amnations, there were closing exer- cises, consisting of dialogues, pieces, vocal music, etc., in the intermediate de- partment, which were highly Interesting ; and they were enjoyed, by permission of the teacher, Miss Ella LiIlis, by the pu- pills of the other departments. The growing popularity of these entertain ments by the pupils warrants the teach- CTS to give a public entertainment for the benefit of the school, which will be done about the Christmas holidays, when pupils from all the grades will par ticipate.
 The closing year has been one of pro- gress on the whole, in all departments, notwithstanding the evil of irregular at- tendance, with which this district, in common with all others in town, has had to contend. The first half of the Summer term, the attendance was small and irregular in the two lower
 
 the attendance in the senior department reached it's maximum point, both in numbers and regularity. The latter half of this term, the attendance in the lower grades was numerically large, reaching 3s pupils in the intermediate depart ment, against 36 in the Fall term and reaching 39 in the primary department, no ;y1 tendance was correspondingly satisfac- tory during this closing half term in both lower, but very unsatisfactory in the senior department, both in numbers and regularity, the attendance of pupils dropping off about April l, at the time of the annual Spring exodus to the shops and the farms, from 40 pupils to 24, while increased domestic labors of the Spring time interfered with the regular ity of attendance of the remaining pu- pills, falling off 20 per cent. from normal. The general average of attendance for the whole school is fair: Intermediate department, 26.2 pupils, primary de- partment PIP pupils, senior department 27.5 pupils, the average for the entire school footing up 749 pupils of an en- rollment of 1l5 pupils, or about 70 per cent.
 The examinations were taken under the immediate supervision of the princi- pal and were emnenrly satisfactory. The examinations wers written ones in both higher grades, but partly oral in the primary room. That performed by class No. in the intermediate depart ment was specially creditable for an ini- ( tiatory written examination. The exam nations of the classes in the primary de- partment were notably satisfactory in both arithmetic and sight reading. The papers supplied all the classes of the senior department were furnished by teachers outside of the school and by School Visitor William J. Brew, who al- so assisted in the examinations in the in- termediate grade, marking in reading. The average standing in studies of the pupils is herewith presented:

The value of the fire alarm drill in schools was practically illustrated dur ing the burning of St. Michael's Roman Catholic church in New York. The school building was attached to the chulch and contained over 600 children. Although the flames were burning fierce ly, the children behaved admirably and, except for blanched faces, showed no sign that they realized any danger. At the sound of bell, they arose to their feet, folded their arms and, to the music of piano played by one of the nuns, marched slowly from the room, down the stairs and out into the street. Not a child was hurt in any way and there was not the slightest confusion.
