TO HELP THE 500, 900 FUND.

Years Eve Hop.

The Ancient Order of Hibernians at its
last national convention decided to en-
dow a chair of the Irish language at the
Catholic University at Washington, d.
c., and pledged 800, 900 for that purpose.
No action that the convention took or
subject that was discussed received such
hearty support as this move, the adoption
of which was characterized with unani-
nimity which showed the enthusiasm that
prevailed and the earnest desire that ex-
listed to carry out such a patriotic under
taking.
Each division in this country and in
Canada is to pay its pro rata of the 800, Co.,
The local divisions are in hearty accord
with this movement. Division No. l of
this county, the mother division of Hiber-
mans in this section of the country, Will
give a New Year eve hop, the proceeds
of which will be devoted to this praise
worthy purpose. which will undoubtedly
receive the earnest support of all Jealous
Hibernans and their friends. Rosen-
fields orchestra has been engaged. Re
freshments viii be served, and pleasant
and enjoyable time can be guaranteed to
all who attend.

Reports Of cruel treatment to animals
on the part of careless and Indifferent
drivers have been frequent, and If a few
more cases We're made against those who
are caught at it, it would no doubt have a
tendency to stop the practice. Sometimes
animals have been seen hitched to heavily
loaded carts. when they are nothing but
skin and bones and look as If they would
drop at every step. A society for the pre-

This was Mr.. Perkins first season as a

company were more due TO his lack of ex-

company left the city at least 500 short

LUMBER LOOKING UP.
The Mills Have Plenty of Orders and
Prices Are Holding Their Own.

Prices Are Holding Their own.
Mr.. Merritt w Dixon returned yesterday
from New York where he has been for
some time on business, and incidentally
he has been giving much attention to
the condition OF the lumber markets.
Mr.. Dixon said yesterday that the pros
pect for the lumber business this season
was quite encouraging. Especially were
large orders expected from railroads in
almost all sections of the country Many
Of the roads have let their rolling stock
run down until much of II is in such con-
dition that repairs are absolutely neces-
sary. orders for this purpose. he said
are constantly being filled, and while
prices have not materially advanced. the
mills have a good many orders to I'LL, and
they are almost all quite busy. The pros
pect. he said, is in every respect bright
and encouraging.
The southern lumber markets seem to be
growing stronger in every section. The
manufacturers are aware that there is
a constant demand for their output, and
they have accomplished much for the
trade through the mutual agreement into
which they have entered with regard to
a fixed scale of prices for their product.
There seems always a good demand for
the better grades of yellow pine lumber,
and the efforts that have been made to
prevent the frequent disasters which were
common when competition held fun sway
and the cutting down of prices was in or
der appear to be proving successful. The
southern lumbermen are TO be congratu-
lated by the timely revolution they have
wrought in the situation, and they will
no doubt reap much benefit from IL.
