Scott. Mckee has certainly not enough
cheek for that Then this same cor
respondent quoted Mckee as saying

 A small band of ladies, with Mrs. John White and Mrs. Fred Hardy as president and vice. president, respectively, with charitable intent and feeling it much to be deplored fact that there is not already instituted in some one of our schools de- partment of domestic science and arts, where not only the school girls, the house. keepers of the future, but housekeepers of present and past experience might have the benefit of courses of instruction suited to their various needs, have secured a gradu- ate of that department in the Pratt insti- lute, Brooklyn. This is one of the most thoroughly equipped institutes in other departments besides this especial one, and the ladies feel satisfied that the teacher se- cured will be highly qualified for the work before her here. After passing certain ex- aminations to enter this department, it is necessary to work there two years before graduation and qualification as teacher. Miss Comstock comes highly recommended from the Pratt. The different courses are being planned and will be given out later. Circulars of prices will be issued at an early date.

ingly for a staaight ticket, and on Jnne 30 the nominations will be made for the various offices on said ticket, and no opposition to the Democratic ticket thus nominated can be made inside of the party. Whoever bolts or aids Republican compromise under such a condition of affairs will be rightly considered a traitor to the Democratic party and a Repub- liean, and it will be the political suicide of any so-ealled Democratic participant,
 We would therefore urge upon the promoters of the scheme to be eau tious and eircumspect, for should any supposed Democrat take part in such scheme, he is doomed 10 defeat and the everlasting ontempt of the community.
