FESTIVAL OF DAYS.

Also Tempting Church Supper al st.
Paul's, Duncan Avenue
The congregation OF St. Paul's Profess
tant Episcopal Church, Duncan avenue.
held it's annual supper last night in the
guild room of the church. In addition to
the supper, however, there was a novel
feature of entertainment in the form of a
fair called "a Festival of Days."
AS for the supper, it was an excellent
one. There was everything anyone could
desire and the walters seemed inclined to
permit no one to GO away hungry. All
the delicacies of the season were spread
out in tempting array. A handsome sum
was realized from this source. The sup
per, which is a hot one, only lasts from
six o'clock until eight, and then the
guests, and there are crowds of them, are
supposed to visit the festival.
The six week days are represented by
as many gaily decorated booths which are
presided over by ladies.
In Mondays booth one finds Miss E v.
Harrison and Miss Rosalind Toner. Mon
day being wash day these young ladies
dispense everything that is required for
such work. The prices are moderate and
the booth Is well patronized.
Tuesday being laundry day, every con-
ceivable article necessary to the proper
performance of such work is found, offered
for sale by Mrs. Marshall aud Miss V.
Bennett.
Wednesday is represented by a fancy
booth, and Mrs. A. G. Evans, Mrs. Robert
Evans and Mrs. Forshay presided.
Thursdays booth is a candy store, and
large quantities of sweets are disposed
of by Mrs. Edward Shurd aud Mrs.
Harry DEFY.
Friday is busting day, and for such
work Mrs. N. q. Lyons and Mrs. Dono-
hue sell the necessary implements.
Saturday is baking day, aud Mrs. Nicoll
aud Miss Woodward supply everyone's
wants from their large supply of baking
and cooking utensils.
In the yestry room there Is a rubber
store where rubber articles of all
sorts are offered for sale. The articles
were donated by Mr.. john j. Voorhees,.
The f If is under the management of the
Ladies' Missionary Society, The proceeds
being for the benefit of the church.
The fair closes tonight. Pastor w. P.
Brush is highly pleased with the success
of the supper and fair.

General Apathy and
Absenteeism.
.ENNEIMElR TURNED DOWN

Republicans in this county have not yet
recovered from the shock to their nervous
systems caused by the recent Democratic
tidal wave. 1t is alleged that they elected
members to the Republican County Com
mittee last night. The process was only
visible to the naked eye in one or two
spots. In most precincts. not a single vote
was cast except those of the primary cleo
ton officers. At other polling places the
voting was extremely light and I~istless.
So far as could be learned last night, there
was not an opposition ticket used except
in the Fourth and Second Districts. In
the Fourth, voters scratched the name of
Henry De Jong and elected Robert
O'Byrne In his place. This change,
IL was said. was not the result of any past
differences between the Graham and
Brennan factions, bu because De Jong
was not popular and O'Byrne was very
much SO. The thirteen other men on
the ticket were elected without any OPP
position. Two Of them, "Zack" de Cline
and A. b. Cosey, are colored men.

of the ninety-two votes cast.
A few days ago Hennemeier said that il
he was defeated Mt the primary he would
make things interesting at the club. The
members of the club. however, declare
that they stood by him.
Only eighteen of u members voted"
said Mr.. Michael Schultz, ''and everyone
voted for Mr.. H~ennemeier."
Loui is sore, however, and he promises
to make the meeting on Monday evening
a lively one
SAME OLD CROWD.
Among those elected in the Third Dis
trict without opposition, were Assembly
man elect Henry H. Holmes and James
S. Irwin, both machine men. The changes
in the County Committee by the
election last night will be slight. But
very few new men were taken into the
fold. The leadership will be the same as
heretofore. Colonel s. D. Dickinson.

of their party, and old John Reid or Ho

shrewa advice. These men were nearly
all followers and have another year to
serve.
I asked a prominent Fourth district man
what he thought of the new County
Committee, and he said:-''It's the same
old thing. About one-half of the new
men will not pay their SIS Initiation fee,
and their place will be vacant. The
committee will fill the vacancies with
