sary to deliberate on the purpose OF this fair

It is for the purpose of raising funds to help
In the work OF completing the society's new

In bearing their brothers. yoke.

ISOLATION. The meeting was we'll attended
ane was enthusiastic. There was liberal
discussion OF affairs pretsning to the Or
ganization, and its prospect is especially
bright
The furnishings are nearly all in place in
the Heaton Hospital annex and the rooms
will soon be ready for occupancy. There
are five pairs OF beds, making ten In all.
| These are all furnished except in three
rooms, and the directors would be much
pleased to have persons come forward and
signify willingness to equip these rooms.
This is something that has been done here
tofore, and 1t is believed that there are still
| those in the city who would like an oppor-
tunity of doing something to aid in 80
worthy an object. The institution has a
record that should enlist the support OF
every citizen in the city. The death rate
has been less, per capita, than in any like
times lose sight of the fact that beneficent
spirit o the part of the public is required
for the maintenance Of such an institution.
This being the case why should persons
make the subject of supporting it debata
| BILE one? The burden should not fall on a
few but the entire community-everyone-
should give his or her mite. Let those who
can, give toward furnishing the rooms in
the annex.
Health Officer W. L. Goodsle sent
$50 invitations Friday evening to own
ers OF cows to have their herds tested, and
before Saturday night he had received
double that number of kicks. When one
haste and repent at leisure. This applies
to DR.. Goodale's case. II the farmers and
other owners OF cows would stop to think
for minute they would see very plainly
that it was not the health officer who was
responsible for the issuing of the notices.
The city council, some time ago, brought
this matter up in the aldermanic chamber
and discussed it at length before passing
the ordnance, which the health officer is
trying to obey. II there is any injustice

he had choice in one Of two things. After
the city council had passed the ordinance
He could either resign his Office or issue the
notices. as is required by the statute To
resign would have been cowardly. Now he
must obey the law, so far as IL has jurisdic-
ton over his Office. Whether or not the
ordinance is needed is with some a
question. Be that as it may. Mr. Goodale
has to obey the rules governing his Office.
Arthur ALLEN aged seventy three, native
of London, Eng, died at his home on East
State street Monday morning. Mr.. Allen
came to this country at the age of thirty y-three,
going to Westfeld, Mass, where he followed
his trade of cigar maker Mr.. Allen came
10 this city in January 1868. AS near as can
be ascertained Mr.. Allen died from heart
trouble with which he had been afflicted for
several years. His health of late had been
failing and his relatives did not hope for a
long continuation of his life, although he re-
tired Sunday evening as well, apparently, as
he had been for some days. He came to this
city with one Thomas West, with whom he
formed partnership which lasted for several
years. Mr.. Allen then engaged in business
alone in the Hazen block where he had a stand
for several years. About 1880 he moved into
the store in the Rialto building where his
son still continues the business Mr.. Allen
was the pioneer cigar maker of this city. He
met the full quota of misfortunes that are in
cident to any business man, but he had pluck
| and GRIT and did IN Shad tanpl for
what was beyond his control. Added to cou1-
age was whole souled jolly disposition, a
kind heart and good word fol. all, creating
him host of friends. He was full of remi-
niscences, and the business men of the city used
to enjoy very much spending few minutes in
his store, hearing him TIL experiences. His
, indutry was proyerbial and by his thrift he
acquired snug competency When Mr.. Allen
realized that his end was approaching he asked
that he might be received into the Roman
Catholic faith, the belief of his wife, by whose
side he wished to be buried. Two sons, Thorn
as of Springfield, Mass, and Arthur of thi:
city, survive their parents. The funeral will
be held from St Augustine's church on Wed
nesday morning at nine o'clock.
> 1t is impossible to understand how the
7 conductors on the street road are any more
"disobhging" for attempting TO live up &c

r be for not consenting to the suggestions o
every one who should aspire to regulate the
' publication for his own interests. There

been thrown from very exalted position
c indeed when some one attempts, in an un
( offending way perhaps to offer some advice
: as to how the paper should be run or wha'
9 price they should charge for advertising
r and it is fair to say that they are justified in
t harboring such feeling. Well, If it il
{ right for a newspaper man to feel hurt be
t cause of the meddling OF an outsider why
l., should not a street railroad conductor, who
, is supposed to obey orders and respec

. print had overstepped his boundsand showI
a spirit of resentment? No railroad man
under the sun could make sat of rules b.

suit everyone. No one thinks for minut,

been from the start, run ON thorough busi
