An Enjoyable Entertainment.
from Fridays Daily.
Each festivity arranged by those
charming entertainers, the Misses
McCulloch, seems to out-do its
predecessors in pleasurable feat
nres, and that in which a number
of guests participated last evening
was no exception to the rule. This
took the form of party, including
dancing, given in honor of their
guest, Miss Esther Byers, at a
home which is one of the most in
.viting in the city, and which for
the occasion was decorated and ap-
pointed with that unfailing taste
which is SO marked an attraction
in their discharge of the onerous
duties of hostesses. Those who
were present enjoyed a delightful
time. The dancing was varied by
some solos exquisitely sung by
Miss Mary McCulloch and Miss
Flora Atwel Tippett, and it has to
be noted that it is not often that
two such charming vocalists are
heard together. At the usual hour
the most delightful refreshments
were served. Those present in
cIuded:

Miss Esther Byers, Miss Eubers of
Cincinnati, Miss Flora Atwel Tip

Four incidents in connection
with thestrike situation at Fairmont
will, if true, make fair minded peo-
pie everywhere take up the cause
of the strikers.
The dead child of striker was
refused burial in the cemetery
property of the company.
The families of the strikers were
refused drinking water from the
wells.
The strikers although peaceable
and law abiding, were enjoined
from marching on the public roads.
Deputy marshals refused permits
sion to bread wagon to go into
the strikers camp.
The high-handed, outrageous
and inhuman course which the OPP
orators a1e pursuing is making the
whole country friendly to the
strikers.
Chicago undertook to impose a
tax of one dollar each on. bicycles
to build up a road fund. But the
courts have knocked the stuffing
out of the ordinance. It is declar-
ed void on two grounds: First,
that it is improper to impose a tax
for the use of the public highways;
and second that it would be impos-
ing double taxation, inasmuch as
bicycle owners pay personal
property tax ON their wheels if the
Assessor does his duty.
Died at his home in Hartford,
Mr.. John NJ. Graham, Thursday,
August 18th, 1897. The deceased
was about 6s years old.
