friend Mart Day appear at n swell wed,
ding without claw hammer coat; l
was equally grieved to observe that
George j. West had succunibed 10 the
rising temperature and had replaced his
customary Prince Albert with h'msy
famsy Bit OF rainmsnt OF the
consistency OF cheese clotn. There Is also
good reason to credit the rumor that
Representative Mulholland was recently
detected In the acs OF covertly draining
soda fountain. Chief Justice Matteson has
openly dehed the hide-bound mandates OF
upper crust McAllisterism aad walks
about the court house robsd In blue AM
white summer suit. The attorney gem
eral actually appeared on the street lasC
week with q red necktie. All OF these
things prove that there Is not promis-
ing field here for Ward McAllister or u
Chatfeld-Taylor.
The new building of the Industrial
Trust company on Exchange place aud
Exchange street has been CO npleted to
above the eighth story aud makes quite IN
imposing appearance, In fact 1t has quite
metropolitan air. On coming from the
Union station 1t is the first building that
strikes the eye aud provokes considerable
interest among new arrivals.

A private letter from Hamburg says
that DR.. w. T. Bull. brother OF Lieuten..
ant Governor Bull, seriously injured
himself while crossing the Atlantic on
his wedding trip some weeks ago, and Is
Obliged to 90 on crutches. He Is rapidly
recovering, thanks to the ministratioas
of his wife, whose acquaintance, by the
way. he made when she was using
crulches and he was called In to attend
her professionally. Mrs. Blaine-Buil is
said TO b. one Of the best dressed aud
most at rractive women at the gay Euro
pean resort. and the newly married
compile are enjoying their trip In spite Of
the doctors mishap. They remain abroad
until September.
The low necked summer 'girl and the
yachting man. two Of the most pictur-
esque elements in our city life, have
made their appearances. AS they dristed
slowly up Westminster street yesterday
afternoon the passers-by turned and
admired them. They couldn't help It,
y'know. She was pretty OF fac, divine
of figure. with the melody of babbling
brooks Ia her eyes, and her throat was
n-kissed to delicious shade of brown.
Her frock was white and her face was n
whole summer move. bound In ivory and
gold. II brought up memories Of ham
mocks and moonlight and the tum-tum
of a banjo sounding from the deck of 9
yacht. He was of the broad-briT med
type. wore a yacning hat and about his
waist a canvas belt in which he seemed
to have perfect confidence. He doesn't
own yacht, no, not even rowboat-
nor does he know any one who does own
one, but from July until October he goes
about clad in this life-on-tht- -ocein-wave
fashion. You have all seen him. Look
out for him today.

Everybody has heard the old smile that
lit grows better with age, like violin or
like wine" Aud everybody that knows
Postmaster Charles II. George at once
will see how this applies to this pleasant
hammered official Not that Mr.. George
is growing old--not he. Why he seems
almost TO grow younger eacn year. His
smile is more cordial, his laugh merrier,
his grip stronger than ever before-ind
there are not many laughs that are more
contagious than Mr.. Georges. He AL
ways has n pleasant word and smile tor
his friends-he has no enemies-and his
friends are all those who know him.

Among the coming visitors TO this city
is Hon Honore Mercier. ex-premier OF
Quebec. who Is making tour of the
localities in New England, where his fell
low-countrymen are TO be found in large
numbers. Mr.. Mercier is one of the
ablest OF French Canadians. aud though
his official skirts were dragged through
the mire for alleged completely la gov
ernment scandals, there are thousands
who acquit him Of any Intentional wrong
doing but who lay the entire trouble to
the system which prevails In Canadian
politics OF subsidiz ng anything aad
everything and Of using government
funds to retain control of affairs. Neither
party In Canada Is gutltless of such
action, and 1t happened to bs Mr.. Mer-
cier's turn to gee punished. He has sum
mered for years at the Old Orcharl beach
where many prominenG Canadians pass
the warm months, and while ne is at
present out Of politics will not long re-
main SO. His eminent abilities, his elo-
quencs and the strong loyalty of his race
to him are reasons why his retirement Is
only temporary.
Who can say that we don't live in
luxurious age? Inhabitants OF South
Water anu Dyer streets who have
seen the White Mountain express
car, drawn by eight horses,
and forth from India street to the Union
depot certainly do not The comfort OF
passengers on this line Is not entrusted
to ordinary conveyances, Instead
of transferring patrons from the New
York boat to the depot by the
hacks or Dusses, the company sends
down its finest chair car with eight pra ne
ing chargers attached and brings back It's
passengers in sta e. The taly-ho and
the sage coach are out Of the race.
