a dudish appearance. Struggling with
a collar nearly as high as his head,

morning, Mr.. Bailey, who appears to
be a very nice young man, went on
his way rejoicing. Winchester Item.

At the meeting of the city council
last. Thursday night, permission was
refused the fireman to erect a hose
house at the corner of Pennsylvania
avenue and Queen street. We under
stand the lot was given them with
their promise to erect hose house
thereon. Now this council refuses
them the privilege, when they are
prepared to erect a neat two story
brick building and allow the corner to
remain vacant. Our fire company is
purely a volunteer organization and
should have more encouragement.

ployed by the latter body to test the
legality of the action.
