"A kissing Fair,

Helmagen, n Roumanian country
town of twelve hundred inhabitants,
holds its annual fair on the feast of st.
Theodore. On this occasion, q London
weekly paper says, the place swarms
with newly married brides from the
sixty to eighty villages in the district.
Widows who have taken fresh hus-
bands remain at home. The young
women, in festive attire and generally
attended by their motherr-in-law, carry
jugs of wine wreathed with flowers in
their hands. They. kiss every man
they meet and afterward present the
jug to his lips for q nip" The individ-
ual thus regaled bestows small gift
on the fair Cybele. Not to take of the
protfered wine is regarded as an insult
to the young wife and her family. She
is, therefore, reserved toward stran-
gers and only kisses those whom she
thinks likely to taste of her wine. The
kissing is carried on everywhere-in
the street, in the taverns and in private
houses.

Washington, December 3.--There are
thirty contests in the present House of
Representatives, and the testimony thus
far printed aggregates ILL., 600 pages.
OF those thirty cases, five, including
Mr.. McGann of Chicago will probably be
dis osed of by unanimous agreement of
the committee. The remaining twenty
five cases will consume probably thirty
two or thirty-three days of the time Of
the House.
In the 51st Congress there were sew
enteen contested election cases. Their
consideration occupied the House twen-
ty-three days.
1t is understood that Speaker Reed has
been gravely impressed with the impor-
tance OF securing reform in this matter.
1t has been intimated that one of the first
things to be brought before the commit
tee On rules will be plan suggested of
either increasing the committee to twen-
ty-one or twenty five instead of fifteen MS

en-, the young preacher who has caused SO
much comment, has a new scheme
which he hopes to have in operation in a
few weeks. 1t is the establishment of a
lunch room and reading room ON ono Of
our principal business streets, which will
beafree to all and which will be kept open
all night. Here he hopes to serve hot
coffee, soup and sandwiches to all who
desire at cost. In the reading room he
will have good, clean and instructive lit
erature always on hand and he intends to
make it as free and pleasant for all as
possible.
Mr.. O'Biren says he has considerable
sum OF money pledged for this purpose
and has had lot of land given him on
Washington street, on which he will build
structure for the purpose, as soon as
the necessary funds can be raised. He
does not believe in subscription papers
or church fair and says that he will
raise all of the money needed by yolun-
tary contributions He will, it is ru-
mored, soon send in his resignation as
pastor of the Advent church.

Several Township Voting.
Boston, December 8. 3.-Twenty Of the
thirty-two cities in Ethe Common-
wealth held municipal elections today.
In many of the cities, notably
Somerville, Brockton, Gloucester.
Waltham, Quincy, Fitchburg, the
A. p. A. was prominent factor
in the election, and by its formal
nomination of certain candidates,
and open support of others, caused in
many instances hot local contests and
bolts in the Republican ranks.
Somerville, which until within year
or two has known no party lines in the
nomination Of mayor, has been greatly
stirred up this year owing to the endorse
ment of Davis, the regular Republican
nominee by the A. P. A., which resulted
in a large number Of Republicans bolting
the nomination and nominating Albion
A. Perry as an anti A. P. A. candidate.
Mr.. Perry was successful, receiving it
is said, the support of many Democrats.
Lawrence, Mass, December 3.-The
Republicans swept the city today, cleo
ting mayor, five aldermen and eleven
common councilmen. George S. junk
ms, Rep. received a plurality Of S65. A
detection in the Democratic ranks was
the cause of their defeat.
