young women who are pupils of Mrs @

Case The rooms were tastefuily
decorated. and specimens Of the work
OF the young artists were hung on the
walls. The paintings we're executed after
only twenty four lessons, one quarter,
had been taken, and they show the re-
suit of care III application, much taste
and no little talent Great credit is also
reflected on their teacher, who spent
many years in the study Of the art both
in Paris and Rome

Big Congregations at St. Peters.
While the Catholic mission is in
! progress here, St. Peters Church is
: crowded at all the services. Even st the
J o'clock morning mass, the church is
} well-flled. Father Brady is more than
} pleased with his congregation for
} its attendance and cooperation
The mission will close on Sunday
! evening in the most solemn manner.
! Right Rev. Bishop Curtis will confirm
those over is years Of age Immediately
, after the 10 80 mass to morrow. It has
certainly been very gratifying to the
( priest in charge to see SO many approach
] the communion rail. All denominations
have been invited at the evening service
Ushers are in attendance and will see all
strangers comfortably seated.
There are Two Distinct Committees.
A well-known Democrat said this
morning: while it is not generally
, known, such is a fact, their are two
/ Democratic Executive Committees of
this hundred, one is known as the inns
and the others as the outs (or kickersl,
both hold weekly meetings, and while
do not know what the inns are doing
3 "the outs" have made complete canvass
I Of the hundred. Sub committees from
: both committees are holding meeting s
q trying to effect consolidation, but the pre-
Q vailing feeling among the outs is to stay
ont one year more The above is one of
the reasons that no delinquent tax col
lector has yet been appointed for New
Castle hundred"

Z bending mills will not start until Janu-
