With general favor.
Those remarks given are but fair
samples OF perhaps twice as many
heard by reporters. Everybody seen
endorsed the lNTELLIGgNoER's spgges-
tons more or less heartily, and 1t is
evident enough interest in the matter
exists to assure the success OF the pro-
posed celebration.
Mathis Ferry people think that the
editorial in yesterdays lNTELLldEEcER
suggesting that Wheeling should have
a rousing big Columbian Fourth OF
July celebration was full Of good sense
and that the scheme should be success
fully carried out. The suggestion meets
with approval on that side Of the river,
and Martins Ferry, at least, will do her
share to help make the celebration q
memorable Que. When the Columbian
parade was given in Wheeling about
one.half Of the people oil Martins Ferry
went over, and many more would so on
'the Fourth" it being a holiday. Said
one Martins Ferry man; "The people
OF Wheeling should take up the matter
at once aud make the eagle scream as
never before"
Word comes from BelIaIre and
Bridgeport that the people OF those
towns are favorable TO the proposed
celebration.

Death 81 Hon. ). D. Norton.

S. D. Norton died at his home on West Main
street in this city. last evening, just as the orb
of day was sinking in the west. The end came
peacefully and painlessly.
In the latter part of September, 1889. Mr..
Norton was stricken with paralysis, and although
he recovered sufficiently to go TO the polls and
vote. five weeks later he suffered another severe
shock that same night of election.
Since the day of his first prostration he has
been taken entirely out of professional life, and
with few exceptions his face has not been seen
in public since. In just two years from his Sec
ond shock he sustained third stroke.
His health during these years of affiction has
varied from the lowest physical condition to aP
parently returning vigor and vitality.
On the 9Th day of December following his
first stroke, he was visited with a severe be-
reavement in the death of his most estimable
wife. This was terrible blow to the unfor-
tunate sufferer, and for while it was feared
that he could not stand the accumulated weight
of sickness and sorrow. But he fingered along
in the shadows of life, endeavoring even in the
depths of his greatest misfortunes to bear his
burden with patience and the fortitude of a
spirit always brave to do and endure.
Last Saturday night he was very uneasy and
restless, scarcely obtaining any sleep. Sunday
he suffered considerable pain in the region of
his heart, but was better on the following day.
Early Tuesday morning. after an hour or two
of itful slumber, he was again stricken with
what is supposed to have been his old ailment.
From this last stroke he never rallied, but grad
ually sank into the sleep that knows no waking.
His funeral will be held from the house on
Friday at two o'clock 1t is now expected that
President collars of Hiram College, will oficiate.

Light Luucb.

Perhaps some of our readers will remember
that little more than year ago we printed an
article stating that there was great fight going
on in the High School Literary Society between
the boys and girls in regard to the election of
officers. At that time the meeting did not sd
journ until nearly six o'clock. and it being dark.
some one made motion that lights and lunch
con be brought up. After considerable discussion
this was laid on the table for one year.
Two weeks ago last Friday. it beca me time to
again consider the motion. After being amended
to read Light lunch" the scholars discussed as
to what the lunch should consist of. It was I'm
ally decided that it should consist of" fresh oys-
ter crackers and common Yankee cheese" and
that the funds to buy this lunch be procured by
using all the money in the treasury. and by tax
ing each member of the Society. including the
honorary members-the teachers-one cent.
After the President had appointed commit
tee to collect the money. buy the lunch. and see
to the serving of it, the meeting adjourned. all
members going to their homes to dream of crack
ers and cheese.
It so happened that the day for serving the
lunch fell upon st. Patrick's Day-last Friday
All the boys of the Society. remembering the

but no one was willing to go until the thing ha

We stepped into the new music store OIL. B.
Calhoun. one day last week. and were much
pleased with what we saw and heard. His goods
are the best known to the musical world. He
handles the famous Knabe piano. which is one
of the three finest instruments made. the name
alone being the only credential required. Then
he has the celebrated Drehr and Hains Brothers
pianos, which are ranked very high by the judg
es. The tones from any of these three approach
so near the ideal as to realize the ne plus ultra
in purity and excellence. There is no organ su
periOr to the Storey u Clark, while the Worces
ter takes high rank in competitive merit. Both
of tn ese instruments are handled by Mr. Calhoun.
He also has a complete line of Sheet Music. vo
cal and instrumental. Any music published can
be obtained iu two days time by ordering through
him. He has an excellent location. attractiy e
rooms. and patrons of the art should call and
see him when in need of anything in the music
line. Visitors are always welcome.

Spring, we commenced tramping the
hard floor of a store for a living. Fif-
teen years ago we dropped out for one
year of rest. Now as age and in6rm.

Commencing on Saturday morning,

St. Patrlck,s Day Celebrasion.

Friday daWned in the beauty Of bright day
in mid March. The only criticism that could be
made applied to the cold Lake Erie winds and
not to the sun crowned heavens or to the mum
dane crust that supported the people of this
particular part of the world. st, Patrick's Day
is quite as well anchored in the minds and
hearts of the people generally as the 4th of July.
No one needed to be reminded of the day, and
no one neglected to at least honor it in thought
if not in deed Everyone in any degree familiar
with the story of good ST. Patrick yields quick
sympathy to the deep sentiment in every Irish
heart toward the patron Saint Of the Emerald
Isle. The Church of the Immaculate Conceps
ton of Ravenna. befttingly commemorated the
anniversary by an entertainment given lat the
Town Hall in the evening. After multitude
of hungry mouths had tasted the satisfying
! heer of grand supper. served on the first
foor, the seats in the hail above began to fill
and in short time not a vacant one was to be
had. and no unoccupied space " as visible. The
room was neatly decorated, the green flag of
Ireland entwining its folds in fraternal grace
fulncss wish the stars and stripes The impa-
tience OF the theater goer for the curtain to
rise had no part in the feelings of the audience
Everyone expected something good and was
willing to wait for it In the meantime all en-
joyed TO the full the fine opportunity for social
good spirited lot of people who amidst all the
festivities never lost sight of the object of the
celebration, The program consisted entirely OF
music. vocal and Instrumental. There were Il
presentations, large number of them receiv-
ing encores. Miss Gertrude Jones sang with
her usual purity of voice. Her tones were clear
and sweet. and her expression good. She re-
ceived a merited encore. The violin playing of
Maud Slaughter. Mabel Kaylor and Maria
Walter are worthy of particular commenda.
tion. All of them are young. but each played
with grace and ability that many an older
hand might well envy. Miss Maggie Krebs ap.
peared in a solo and elected an encore from
her hearers Her voice is strong and her enun-
citation excellent. The singing .of Miss Dauber
and MIR. Noonan were especially fine. Miss
Dauber has full, clear contralto voice, potent
in sweetness and integrity of tone. mir. Noonan
disclosed a voice of smoothness and ,rotundity,
thoroughly developed by culture. His singing
was very expressive and musical. j. A. Ken
nedy sang d number of selections and was en-
Enthusiastically encored. Miss Haley appeared
with solo in place of John Canning with his
guitar. In the farewell trio Mrs. Price, Miss
Dauber and Mr.. Noonan blended their voicss
with fine effect

Last Friday being the day set apart for the
celebration of the st. Patrick anniversary, two
sons of Erin whom we will call McFad and
McFud, repaired to one of the shrines over the
Rhine, and after pledging themselves and all
other good wearers of the green over the fair
bumpers, they proceeded to "wreathe the bowl
with flowers of soul, and being at loss to de-
eide the merits of-their respective verses, they
had recourse to the ancient trial of arms. In
the midst of their internecine struggle, they
both lost their balance, and when they had suffi-
GENTLY united and untwisted themselves, the
one in the nimblest condition took his depa rture
as best he could, for the up town precincts, go-
ing straight to Sheriff Hart with the startling
information that Sure, your honor, and it's
meself that has killed McFad.'' Some time
afterward the same official was approached by
the other sorry eyed and frightened .celebrant,
with the equally startling story that he had kill
ed McFad. 1t is case for detective Jack
Reeves, evidently.
