1t is not often that conservative Bos-
ton permits itself TO indulge in novel or
violent sensations. But the announced
determination of the late John L. Sulli-
van to run for Mayor as an independent
Democrat, is calculated to disturb the
most carefully guarded and traditional
stoicism. And all this has come to pass,
probably. because Mayor Quincey ignored
the big ones right hand on the platform
at the recent public reception to 0srsman
Ten Eyck.

In London and Paris they are putting
~sunbonnets on horses. The bonnets are
made of straw and are broad-rimmed,
with holes for the horses ears, and their
use is said to have largely decreased the
mortality from sunstroke and heat among
the equines. Commenting on the above,
the Minneapolis Tribune says Horses

MORE FUNDS ARE NEEDED
An Effort to Give the Poor a
Christmas Dinner.
THE LADIES HAVE A PLAN
Names of Poor Families Are Being Fur
nished to Those Who Desire to Do
a Little Genuine Good on
Next Saturday

The ladies of the Associated Charities
are striving hard to have as many of
the worthy poor families of the city
given a Christmas dinner by persons
who can afford to give. as ii is pos
sible to provide for. but although such
provision has been made for a great
many, there are still many more fam
lilies who are entirely worthy and who
are so distressingly poor that they will
go without a Christmas dinner unless
the association finds some way to pro-
vide il.
In speaking last evening of the man.
ner in which the association is endeay-
oring to effect its purpose in this con-
nection, Mrs j. NJ. White the presi-
dent, said
1--WE are unable to give a general dim
ner for the poor on Christmas day, so
when it was suggested that every men~
ber of the association who could af-
ford it, should provide some one fam
lily with a dinner and that others who
are able be asked to do the same. we
adopted the idea. We have already
furnished the names of quite a num-
Der of poor families. TO persons desir-
Gus of doing something for charity on
Christmas, but j fear the people don {
generally understand our plan for they
have not responded as we expected.
We. of course. do not expect those who
provide a dinner for any of our poor
families to put themselves to the in
convenience that would be involved by
inviting the family TO their homes.
Neither will they be expected to pre-
pare the dinner and send it. All we
ask is that any persons who can al
ford it and feel desirous of doing so,
send in their names and we viii fur
nsh them with the name and address
of a poor family which we Will guaran-
tee to be worthy. They can then go
and order whatsoever they feel able
to and have ii sent to the family and
need be put to no further trouble.
do hope the people who are able to do
so will respond in generous numbers
before Saturday, for if they don't
there will be more homes in Butte than
most people imagine where there will
be little of the good cheer of Christmas

at once lighted upon the fertile. water
power land which they owned in the
southern section of the county.
They set to work at once and in a
short time one of the biggest mills in
the state was standing in a spot near
the main road, close to where a rushing
little creek went by and from its top
windows the builders could look to any
part of the surrounding territory. Then
they could see nothing but scattered
farms and where now is oxford, with
it's screaming railroad cars and its COM
parative air of hustle and excitement
there was waste The big mill soon
attracted attention and besides the col
ony of some hundred or two hundred
operatives who came TO live near their
work, others tlocked in to set up stores,
to mend shoes and in every way cater
to the wants of the little community
and soon swelled the place to such pro-
portions that the Dickey brothers ap-
piled for a borough charter.
WAS A BUSY PLACE ONCE.
The place was prosperous. 1t looked
promising. 1t had several big buildings
besides the cotton mill. The academy
was building, the sawmill was going up
and veerything looked hopeful. Its or
iginators smiled and called the borough
Hopewell. This was the beginning.
There was no railroad and all the trade
came down the great road and fiocked
about that section or the pike winch
soon came to be known as Main street
in Hopewell, and was actually paved in
places. Hopewell then had its burgess,
its board of IL councilmen, its six mem
bers of the board of health. six school
directors. its assessors. tax collector,
constable. treasurer. two squires, two
auditors and six election officers, not to
speak of the academy's teachers, and
ore on two other officers who became a
positive necessity.
And now came the decline. The first
cloud for Hopewell rose some several
miles to the south, and in the direction
of what is now oxford. when "A pros
peetor went through that section, pick
ing his way for roadbed, to let
the new Baltimore Central railroad
through.
Then came the critical moment for
Hopewell. 1t was just before the war
Everything was done to stay the tide
that streamed out from the prosperous
little place and made it's way to the
ironed rallied village that was springng
up like magic and growing with every
incoming and outgoing train.
The burgess and his councilmen
passed measures, tried to make Ii i'm
tereSting for those at home to stay. but
all to no purpose, and soon the mill was
robbed of its operatives. the saws would
not go round in the other mill because
there were no engineer and men To
work them. and the sbtorekeeper found
but few To do business with.

80 or more officers.
Hopewell was once the pride the hope
of its founders. who laid what they
thought Al years ago was the founda-
ton of metropolis that would vie with
any in the state; place that had a
cotton mill with 100 or 200 operatives

shuttles and looms by day and sent its

blighted.
