March we had nothing IN the way of "A

UniyersaIist Fair.

The Universalist fair of 1894 has closed,
and it was success, entertainingly and
financially, in every respect, probably net
ting $3.50, as near as could be estimated,
last evening. The ladies have labored
earnestly, and the fancy articles for sale
were splendid and the tables most attrac-
lively decorated. The ice cream and cake
found a ready sale and was as delicious
as it was plentiful.

Small Change.

Small change is indispensable in going
about city. To have only IS bill in
ones purse when riding in an omnibus
or car is almost as bad as to have no mon
ey. One requires small change, and the
thoughtful husband supplies his wife with
bright 10 cent pieces and shining quarters
just as regularly as with fresh greenbacks
A woman prefers new and fresh money to
that which is greasy and soiled, if she can
have her choice, and n certain good man,
known and loved in large circle, always
makes point of bringing home to his
family the wherewithal for domestic eX-
penses in a very dainty shape. He is de-
servedly favorite.
Small change is as valuable in the COM
merce of life in other departments as in
that of the exchequer. There are people
who can talk extremely well on learned and
serious subjects, but they have no small
change. The quick jest and easy repartes
of the drawing room are not for them.
Helplessly and hopelessly, with gloom set
Ting over their faces and despair in their
souls, they sit by while less gifted people
chat and laugh and have good times. The
trouble is they are destitute of small

Mr.. Russell Sage.

Mr.. Russell Sage can be said to be one OF
the youngest old men in New York city.
With scarcely wrinkle in his face, with
step as brisk as a youths, he has also
many of the almost blithesome PERSONAL
tiles of mon far his junior. One OF his
most marked peculiarities is a merry twin
kle in his blue eyes that lights up his face
when he is pleased. When he is serious,
the lid of Mr.. Sage's right eye winks like
that of the heavy villain in comedy. Oc-
casionally, and especially when the sub
iect is of more than usual interest, the lids
of both blink alternately and very rapidly.
Then, as if he regretted his manifestation
of interest in the conversation, the blink
ing suddenly ceases, and the face lights up
again like a summer afternoon after a
shower.
Mr.. Sage is usually attired in what are
ludicrously known in Wall street as Stop
shop clothes. He does not spend $50 year
on dress. In the presence of ladies he is n
gallant of the old school. There is Ger
tain LONELINESS in his courtesy which is
attractive.
Mr.. Sage never uses the word death. !"
If anybody in his circle dies, he or she has
been removed" and he refers to his own
departure as "when l am removed. u

An Astoundin M Report.

There 10 report current upon our streets
that for months past there has been 3 sys-
tematic Democratic levy upon the liquor
dealers of this city, and that an official
whose duty it should be to enforce the pro-
hibitory law has been seen drinking at the
bar of one Of the most notorious rum shops
in this city. These are certainly astounding
reports, and were there not apparently good
evidence to substantiate them, might not be
considered worthy of serious attention.
Never in the history of this city has the
liquor traffic been more openly pursued than
tits today. Can it be possible that under
this s.'reform" administration violation
of law is not only winked at but even en-
couraged in order that q large campaign
fund may be accumulated for use at the
spring election? There are many things to
indicate that such is the case. 1t is true
that the element of private gain may enter
into this matter, though it seems almost in
credible that any pillar of reform"
movement could be engaged in work
of this character. Are the spoils d.
vided or are they dumped int, q common
pool for campaign purposes? These are
pertinent questions. There are a great
many of the good citizens of Augusta who
would be clad to know whether we are in
deed living under condition of high license
in this city, or whether it Is merely Dem
ocrstic "tariff for revenue" or both. Many
who have excellent opportunities for obser-
walton are very strongly of the opinion that
it is the latter. 1t 10 certainly time for this
matter to be looked into and there is reason
to apprebend some startling developments
in the near future.
