Harper's Weekly: Dinners are much too serious anyway, particularly for the speakers. In Boston, in the week ending March 18th, two men dropped dead at public dinners. One of the feasts thus visited was Tammany Club dinner on St. Patrick's day, and the fatal visitation did not come until four o'clock in the morning. That case may have been sim- ply one of exhausted nature, but about the other there was something almost suggestive of a judgment. For it hap pened at the annual supper of Women's Christian Temperance Union, and the brother who fell was a Presbyterian cler- gyman who had just arisen to respond to the toast, "The Temperance Outlook, /"
 Is there not something preverse and con- trary to nature about having toasts at temperance banquets, and drinking them in water out of goblets? Water is un- questionably the best drink in the world,
 but not for toasts. It is right and proper that our temperance friends should eat together, and that their souls should flow, but they ought to get up new ap- paratus for the exploitation of their after dinner remarks.

New York Medical Record: Gentle men, you do not use your faculties of ob- servation," said an old professor, address ing his class. Here he pushed forward a gallipot containing chemical of exceed ingly offensive smell When was stu dent," he continued, "I used my sense of taste,' and with that he dipped his finger in the gallipot and then put his finger in his mouth. "Taste it, gentlemen, taste it," said the professor, "and exercise your perceptive faculties" The gallipot was pushed toward the reluctant class, one by one. The students resolutely dip- ped their fingers into the concoction, and, with many wry face, sucked the abomi- nation from their fingers" Gentlemen, gentlemen" said the professor, II must repeat that you do not use youl faculties of observation, for had you looked more closely at what I was doing you would have seen that the finger which I put in my mouth was not the finger l dipped in the gallipot.'

SMITH & MURRAY,

We cannot afford to enter 1893, un- til we've paid our respects and hearty thanks to good old 1892 The year that is past brought us increased busi- ness beyond our plans and dreams. The year was filled with opportunities and we'd have been blind not to have accepted them. The chances for liberal trading were grand. It has seldom been the privi- vilege of business house to have the for tune to pass over to their patrons so many ex- cepttonal values, brought about by a constant watch in all markets for break in prices, thereby securing for our trade the best possible values.
 We'll begin '93 with abrighter future than any preceding year.
 On Tuesday, Jan. Sd, we inaugu- rate Special Sale of Dry Goods that will command attention all over Western New England. For several months past we have been searching for Dry Goods wherever an op- portunity presented itself in the way of break in prices. While we do not welcome such a state of affairs yet manufacturers will make too many goods; partners will d1sagree-some of them die stocks have got to be sold, cash gotto be raised These and other circumstances give us the priv nege to offer to an appreciative public the best values we've ever known of in Dry Goods.
 Also great January Sale of Ladies' Muslin Underwear. This branch of our business requires but little comment. Con- mencing last April we made contracts for this class of goods with prominent manufacturers on the most advantageous terms, the result being an aggregation Of goods and low prices that will play an important part in this great sale. Noth- ing unworthy is offered.
 In connection with this sale every department in the house will offer special values.

 It seems in very bad taste to dismiss the horrible outrage of week ago Sun day night at South Wilmington with a fippant joke. It is advised that the girl be sent to a reform school! What would be advised for the men who outraged her, and who put her through disgusting mock trial without an arrest. Those who have known the child from infancy say they never heard aught against her. She is unsophisticated, as are many girls of 3 In isolated neighborhoods. How would the men who are covering up this affair like to have their sisters and daughters pass through like experience? The community in general throughout the town are in white heat of indignation.

pressed as were the indictments against
the Carnegie officials and the Pinker-
tons, but the counsel for the prosecu-

them to go over to the September tern
Of court for final disposition. 1t is
understood that pleas of nolo contendere
will be entered. A suspension of SEN
tence will be asked by the defense, and
it will not be opposed by the prosecu-

this has been done District Attorney
Clarence Burleigh will bring the muir

the motion was carried, amid much
laughter.
A petition from Barney Flynn, re.
gardlng the removal of an unsafe build

to a special committee. The report of
the %canvassing board on the special cleo

as was also Mr. Patterson's certificate.
The reports Of the city treasurer for
April and May were read and referred,
and then the report of the purchasing
committee appointed by the mayor,
raised the question as to which we're the
proper committee. The approval
was put to a vote, and it resulted in a
tie, the mayors vote deciding in favor Of
the approval and the recognition of the
committee. The antis then moved to ad-
1ourn, but the motion was lost on a tie.
Ihe committee question came up again.
Mr.. Healy said he wanted peace, and
said he would make concessions if the
mayor would do likewise. He said he
favored the appointment of a committee
OF three by the council to meet with the
mayor and appoint comm ittees. Mr..
Reade said no one but the mayor should
appoint, and the aldermen should act on
the committees as appointed by him.
1t was finally moved by Mr.. Healy that
the committees a laid down by the
council remain intact. Mr.. Braithwaite
objected. MI. Cunningham i~nterrogated
the mayor.
Mayor Allen: Will you BIZ satisfied
with anything less than the complete &C.
ceptance of your committees? Will you
compromise.
Mr.. Cunningham: We wont come
down a peg.
Mayor Allen then ruled the motion
out of order. MI. Healy made another
motion to adjourn. Alderman Reade
and Patterson asked that the bills on
the table be considered. The vote on
adjournment was taken, Aldermen
Healy, Gussner, Robidou, Cunningham
and Braithwaite voting aye, and Alder
men Patterson, Reade and Mcdonald
nay, and so the council adjourned.

'Immortals" will do when the next vacan-
cy occurs. Emile lola, who has already
been defeated several times, frankly n
nounces that he will again make applica-

hope of election. lola explains his perpet-

to force the academy to recognize the novel
as n of tie most important sorts of mod
ern literature and declares that he will
keep up the fight until he dies if he is not
elected before then.
The plan of campaign which he has
mapped out in this matter-to make appli-
