courage the temperance workers, and
to this end she divided her talk into
four divisions, social political indus

FIR. GLEASON WINS
PRIEST OF ST. JOHNS PARISH WINS
+.r THE TRIP TO
EUROPE.
EXCITING CONTEST CLOSED.
THERE WAS A NARROW MARGIN
OF SEVENTY SEVEN VOTES AT
THE FINISH.
REV. FIJI DOLPHIN DECLINED
To Accept Trip Accompanying
His Victorious Rival as the Guest
OF His Friends.
REV. FIJI DOLPHIN DECLINED

The contest between st. Johns and
st. Patrick's parishes, which has been
on for the past three nights, was de-
cided shortly after 1 o'clock this morn
ing. Both parishes held fairs, and
there were voting contests on the
usual articles, bevies of pretty girls,
and chances galore for visitors to get
rid Of their money. The principal in
terest, however, centered on the vote
which would send either Father Glea-
son, OF ST. Johns, or Father Dolphin,
of St. Patrick's. on a trip to Ireland
at the expense Of the other parish.
The rules OF the contest were that
whichever parish should raise the
smaller amount Of money would have
to pay the expenses Of the neighbour
ing parish priest TO the old country.
The contest closed at IL o'clock last
evening, but it was after 1 o'clock when
the result was announced. Committees
from each parish attended the contest
last evening and watched and counted
the money in order that there should
be no mistake. Between the time of
closing the polls and the announce
ment of the result audiences which
packed both halls to suffocation were
kept in suspense. When the result was
announced at st. Patrick's hall a groan
went up from the audience. The con-
test was extremely close, Father Glea-
son, Of st. Johns parish, winning the
trip by the narrow margin OF $770. the
committee reporting that ST. Johns
parish had collected $2,105S2, and st.
Patricks $2,09S.12. Father Dolphin
thanked the members for the part TAX
en- by them and refused to consider the
proposition that he make the trip with
Father Gleason at the expense Of
number of the members of the church,
who started a subscription as soon as
the result was announced.

DRY GOODS Markets.

New York, Oct. 19.-The situation In dry
goods is by no means satisfactory. Store
trading today was light and showed little
prospect of Improvement. Matt orders were
decidedly irregular, particularly IN cotton
goods. The situation in wooden goods was
maintained in manner which surpassed
the expectations OF traders generally. Pri-
ces were firm in both mems woolers and
worsteds and In ladies dress goods, and
the demand for spring was reported TO be
very steady. In silks, the market was
strong for both domestic and impirted
goods. Knittings and hosiery showed some
improvement. Staple cottons were quiet.
Print cloths have not sold as heavily I'M

was expected. At 22sc spot extras can
only be bought in small quantities. Flu
lures were obtainable at 7-16c in small
quantities.
