Beginning at 0 o'clock, three hours were
consumed in doing justice to the repast,
and at midnight, after the tables had
been cleared of everything but the liquors
and cigars Sol Foster, Esq, was selected
POSTMASTER and the feast of reason and
flow of soul began.
Mr.. Foster first Introduce j. II. POme-
roy, Esq, Borough Solicitor, who ac-
quilted himself in his able way on
Councils Past and Present" The gentle.
man spoke admirably of the various
Councils he had known and served and
paid the present officials a glowing
tribute. He was followed by Burgess
Burns, who rendered an Irish ballad
sweetly and pathetically, in the beautiful
language of the green isle. M. H. Doyle,
| Esq, of the Sunday News, responded to
the toast The Press" and he was fol.
| lowed closely by Mr. A. Stanley Strouse,
of the Morning Despatch, on "Hard Times
| Newspaper Reporting" AS the latter
wttily told of his many sacrifices with a
meagre salary and how he so.netimes
had to wear in winter his nankeen pants
and put a fur collar on his linen
duster for an overcoat in order that his
paper might live, he drew forth the plau-
/ dts of the assembly. Next was rendered
| by Councilman Lamb his favorite decla'
| nation, John Burns of Gettysburg and
| it may sometime in the past been better
| given, but 10 never delighted a sympa-
| thetic audience for a longer time since the
war. Esquire Cardin next took the floor
| with song and showed that he had the
| tune and knew his lines Tax Receiver
| Scanlan responded to "Taxes Collected
and Uncollected,h and his tribulations
| in procuring the lubricatiug material
|
| the sympathies of his hearers. After
general song had been sandwiched in
| by the Pomeroy and Strouse combination
| the piece de restance of the evening was
| given by Councilman Hand on "ThC
| Single Tax" Next came Councilman
| Thomas James on '"The Minority, its
| Power and Weaknesses" The gentleman
pathetically portrayed how weak was the
minOrity's power and how many and
| great its weaknesses, especially with q
| busted water dam on the borough 3 hands
| Chief Martin O'Hara then answered fOl
| "The Police Force" and Councilman Kane
| for "The new Water DAM after which
the bachelor members Of the party were
given a chance, and jollier time
never took place than when Councilman
| Meluskey told how the unmarried meI

| early Councilman McElhenny followed
with beautiful peroration on the sam
| subject which would have beeni lOnge
had the clover club interruption been dis
pensed with. After song in true Lithu
| anian by Officer Walaitis, Councilman
| Dougherty gave his reasons why MAR
riage was not a failure" As this member
from two wards has never had a chance
to know anything of the vicissitudes o
| welded life, all wondered how he eve
learned so much about this pet subject o
his. The speechmaking was ended by
mastery effort by Treasurer Bradigan OF
protection" which will recommend hin
as a member of the Henry Clay leagu
soon to be formed in town.
Thus closed one of the most enioyabl
occasions of the kind that has ever beel
given in Shenandoah, and the time eX
pended in carrying cut every detail of tn
program passed away like all happ
moments too quickly for all who particI
pated.
