ATTENTION, TOWN COUNCILsl

Under Chapter 1917, Public Laws,
passed at the last May session, the war
rants for town meeting to be held on
April 3 next, will have to be published
by the town councils of the respective
towns by advertisement in newspaper.
Section makes this departure in the
accustomed method of many of the
towns Of publishing their town meeting
warrants. The section reads as follows !:
SECTION l. In all cases In which public no
tihcation is now or shall be hereafter required
by law 10 be given by any court OF probate
town council, or other officer or officers. of
any town. In addition 20 any notification now

CONVERSATION AS A FINE ART.

The newest thing in Boston is the
study of conversation AS fine art. We
have no sympathy with such move
ment. While we admire the man or
the woman who can converse agreeably
in whatever company he or she may be
placed, and, Furthermore, so direct mat
ters that the rest of the company
may be unconsciously led into an
intelligent participation in the conver-
sation, we should greatly fear that
the attempt to arouse anything like a
general study of conversation as fine
art would result in flooding our gather
ings with self-conscious students thereof
who could but bore us, rather than
amuse, in the attempts 10 put in practice
the precepts Of the conversation school
room.
Nay, nay-make not fad of so
divine a thing as artistic conversation.
Better by far that the weather, and the
dearest things in millinery, continue to
be the subterfuge by which we vainly
attempt TO conceal our lack of artistic
conversational ability. Better even
that we cross aud recross our legs
and twirl our thumbs TO relieve
the embarrassment of being unable to
converse at all, rather than TO talk by the
precepts of fne-art school, and invade
the realm of homely, il awkward, inter
course with the rules and regulations of
the art OF conversation.
A course of silence as n fine art
wouldn't be half 30 bad.

ution, the ''said propositions shall be, by

in the warrants or notices by them issued
for warning the next annual town aud
ward meetings in April" This seems to
make it pretty clear that the towns of
he State in their warrants for the COM
ing election, to be printed in the news
papers, must include the biennial cleo
tions proposition.
Probably legal advice on this can be
secured by the respective town clerks

side

GONZALES GLORIOUS.
An Exciting Cooking Main Ended
Yesterday.

An Exciting Cooking Main Ended
Yesterday.
The cooking main at Bob Marks
pit was won by Austin. Saturdays
event closed with four fights won
by Austin and two by Gonzales.
The first two fights yesterday were
won by Austin, tieing the result,
and making Austin the favorlte.
Betting was heavy on the Austin
birds. Gonzales won the next fight
and Austin the succeeding one,
again tieing the result. The twelfth
fight was won by Gonzales. Aus
tin still had another chance to tie,
but the thirteenth fight was won
by Gonzales, which decided the
main.
NOTES.
1t was one OF the best mains ever
held in the state.
1t is estimated that about $4,000
changed hands yesterday.
Some of San Antonio's good citi-
zens were present and we re greatly
interested in the fights.
Although the Gonzales bird won
the last fight, he met the same fate
as Austin death caused by the
wounds.
Another main is being arranged
between several gentlemen from
Georgia, to take place some in Feb
ruary.
The Gonzales birds were owned
| by Captain McNeal and the Austin
birds are owned by Mr.. Robert
/ son,
