meet the approval of those they ven.
crate and love.

INTERESTING SERMON. Rev. Father
Payne, of Staunton, preached an inter-
esting sermon at St. Mary's Church
last night before a large congregation.
He took for his subject the sacrifice of
the mass, which he compared with the
atonement, saying that both were in
stituted for the same purpose-the re-
mission of sins. AT the close of his
sermon he complimented Father Cutler
for having erected such handsome
church building, and also the young
men of the congregation for their ac-
ton on Sunday in having assumed the
task of raising sufficient sum of money
to have the church painted and fres-
coed.

SPRING According to scientific cal
culation grim winter died and gentle
spring was born at exactly ten minutes
before o'clock 4 yesterday afternoon.
There was no marked change in the
atmospheric conditions at that time
and the many pedestrians who were
reyeling in the smiles of a May-like sun
never realized that such momentous
change was transporting. Yesterday
was spring-like day, although shar-
pened somewhat by clustering March
wind, but to-day the weather has been
raw and cold, with q spit OF snow
this evening.

TBE ELECTIoN.-The old saying that
5a'It times make many candidates does
no. hold good as far this city is con-
r.raei-so far. at least. In little
over two months the municipal election
viii be held and nearly every office III
the city is to be filed from mayor down
IN constable The election will be held
under the new Walton law and under
irs provisions every candidate must file
vita the clerk of the Corporation Court
notice of his candidacy at least TWEEN
tv days before the election. This will
cause an early primary to determine
who are to be the candidates at the
general election, for it would be useless
for those who enter the primary and
are defeated in such primary to file
regular notices of their candidacy with
the clerk. The election this year will
also be held under the city charter as
amended by the last legislature. I'm
der the amended charter the Offices of
tue two tax collectors have been con-
soidated into one; ditto with the meas
urers of lumber; the Offices Of superin-
tendent of gas and superintendent Of
police have been abolished and the
position of clerk of the market is no
longer charter office.
For the office of Mayor, as heretofore
stated, the candidates are Messrs. l. ii
Thompson, J. G. Beckham, w. Fl.
May and w. B. Dobie-Mayor Strauss
not being candidate Tor reelection.
50 far Messrs. E. F. Price for auditor,
z. f. German for collector of taxes, r.
r. Cook for clerk of gas have no OPP
position. Messrs. James L. Adams
and S. Charles Swain are candi-
dates for measurer of lumber,
Mr.. Wesley Makeley, who for some
years has been measurer of wood and
bark, will be opposed by Alderman
Chas Go lrich and DR.. A. F. Cox.
Most OF the Aldermen aud Council
!neu will be candidates for reelection,
and for these positions there will be
many other candidates in each of the
wards.
The above applies to the democratic
side of the question. The republicans
are certainly quiet, but it is whispered
that they are not asleep, but are wait
inc for the democrats to make their
nominations before they determine
what they will do. Should the demo.
cratic primary fail to bring out full
vote, or should the ticket the demo
Gratis nominate be weak one, from a
republican standpoint, it is said the re-
publicans will then put full ticket in
the field, give it their hearty support,
and hope to draw votes from the dis
satisfied democrats, of which they say
the wards are full.
1t is the belief, however, among the
knowing ones, that the democratic
nominations. with the exception pos
siblv of councilman or so, will be
equivalent to an election.
