Flower Festival at the Holy Trinity
Church. The handsomely arranged booths,
the hangings OF many coIorsd bunting,
the liberal display OF the nattcsaI banner
and tho brilliant illumination by electric
lights and gas made q pretty scene, and
combined with the gay throng with which
the hall was crowded presented scene OF
life and gsyety delightful to the eye.
In spite of the fact that the festival had
run all OF last week and half OF this week,
the basement Of the church where IL was
held was crowded and the patronage OF
the various booths was OF the same
liberality which characterized the opening
night.
There Is no doubt but the affair was the
most pronounced success, socially and
financially, OF any event Of q like nature
held for a long time. Among the lucky
winners was John Bannon, who got the
easy chair on the chrysant hemu um booths.
The following are the names OF the prize
winners: Easy chair, John Bannon; lady's
hat, Miss Annie Counors; table, Joseph
Brit; toilet set, Marv Mcknight; sofa

cover, Robert Mcclure; communion set,
Peter German.

had 2O65. In the contest for the umbrella
Miss Lizzie McKitchen had 1896 votes
and Miss May Mcknight had 1850.
Peter Bannon was voted to be the most
popular bachelor and Miss May Nc
Knight was voted to be the most popular
young lady.
A Scandal Imminent.
1t is highly probable that a most start
ling and sensational case will be aired In
the local courts In short time II certain
rumors floating about are true. 1t Is said
that charges of serious nature are to be
preferred against a certain prominent res.
ident Of the West side.
An effort Is being made to hush the
matter up because many persons OF ex-
cellent standing are connected with the
affsir and they CO not wish to give testi-
mony which will implicate themselves.
City Council.
This evening both branches OF the City
Council will meet. The salaries bill,
which was passed by the Common Coun-
Gil and afterwards tabled by the Board OF
Aldermen, will probably come up and the
0cLlO0 WQlCn Will DC Lhkou Ill IoBuIu W IL
Is awaited with some interest.
There may be some little discussion re.
garding how often the members of the po-
lice force shall receive their salaries. Un-
til within short time they have always
been paid weekly but lately some one
conceived the brilliant idea of paying
them once month. This brought some
little remonstrauce from the Police De-
partment. The city Is bound by law to
pay It's officers once q week.
Among other interesting matters that
may come up Is the report OF the Com
mittee on Education, which has met with
the School Committee with q view to see.
ing IL the public schools could not be run
on a more economical basis.
