a HAPPY FATTY.
The merriest gathering that has been In
Lexington for q long while, as anyone
present will testify, was the party given
by Mr.. and Mrs. J.C. McGrew, for their
daughters, last Friday evening". A large
number OF young people were invited,
and saoh guest came attired 10 q costume
either g~rotesquely quaint and OF ancient
make, or else one ludicgously funny.
Each. guest, alone, was q picture highly
entertaining TO look at; but all combined
made q curious medley. Fancy q maiden
In a handsome silken gown of, perhaps,
her grandmother, with powdered hair
and stately walk, on the arm OF q young
man whom, 80 far as one can Judge from
posed to have emigratad straightway
from the woods for this special occasion.
The large dancing hall was artisticaliy
decorated with graceful e~ornstslks, placed
upriRhtiy around the walls, while here
and there Q healthy looking pumpkin
gave color to the s~cheme-served as q seat
for q tired dancer, or had been trans
formed into a serviceable candelabra.
Music was furnished by the orchestra,
aud there were 3 couple of professional
Jig dancers who entertained the guests.
Virginia reels, 9uadrliles, end old
fashioned dances were the order of the
evening. with here and there a two-step
by way Of punctuation.
At II O'Clock, exactly, q huge dinner
bell ashered In the New Year, az 1t rang
out the old, and served also to usher inte
the refreshment o e hungry lot OF
guests.
Mr.. and Mrs. McGrew are hospitabie
rs host and hostess, aud great plenty
had been provided for the enjoyment Of
the young people, We doubt II our
grandparents ever ate sucb tempting
pumpkin piej but we do feel safe IN
that never did q %iollier. happier
crowd gather round a festal board than At
Mr.. McGrew's, Friday night. Never Was
a host a more perfect host. and uever O
more charming.

OLDEST DOG IN THE WORLD.

His Name Is GolOche, and He Was
Born I'm st. Petersburg In 1870.
The oldest dog in all the wide world
Is said to be Goloche, a Russian poodle,
who was born in ST. Petersburg in 1870
and who lives at No. IS East Twenty
eighth street. This wonderful dog is
the property Of DR.. G. Buckingham
Smith. of that address, who is the
physician of Richard Mansfield, the
tragedian.
Robert D~elaplaine, of Wheeling, W.
Va, brought the dog to this country
when he was about seven years old,
and had learned a number of tricks
from his mother. At that time the
dog could stand on his head and play
dead, and when some one yelled vatki,
or police In Russian, he would suddenly
come to life and take to his heels. Della
plaine stumbled across the dog in O
wine room. There he was imbibing not
only Nihilistic doctrines, but a con-
siderable quantity of red wine and
beer. The proprietor of the place had
secured him from the imperial ken
nels, together with his pedigree.
DR.. Smith paid $50 for Goloche. He
arrived in a big willow hamper and
found this country much to his liking
and a fond friend In his new master.
Goloche has a fine figure and a beautiful
white coat of hair at the present day
which, when clipped, makes him look
not unlike a lion with a shaggy white
coat. AS q retriever Goloche is sup-
posed to have no equal, and another
feature of which he may be proud is
the fact that he is the only dog which
has ever travelled on a railroad on a pass
Of his own. His pass is for travelling on
the trains Of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western railroad and was presented
to him by the president of that COM
pany. Goloche Is a favorite with all the
big politicians of this city and knows
Mr. Plat and Mr.. Croker by sight. As
the oldest dog he finds life a pleasure.
having a bed SO soft that ever a baby |
might envy him. His meals are served
twice a day. eight a. m. and eight pm.

THE SINGLE

The IGTELLIGENCER not only believes
in the double standard, but we believe
that q very large per cent of the repub.
lican party also believes the same way.
And why should they not so believeF
We held gold and silver on a parity
for eighty years, and this country grew
10 wealth and strength as no other
country did. A few gears ago a coterie
of bond holders, with infamous apdao-
lty, conceived the idea Of controlling
our money, in order to make themselves
richer, and they chose the republican
party, as a matter of course, to work
out their devilish designs. The people
were deceived by the cry OF ''sound
money" when there had never been
any other kind. Silver was demone-
tized; bonds were sold to buy gold,
aud the gold vas Immediately paid
out that more bonds might be sold.
But you, gentle reader, II you be 8 tax
payer. If you labor to support q family.
you know more than enough about the
way our money has been manipulated
In the interest Of trusts and combines.
Old Bill Chandler, O nat from
New Hampshire. Is 3 rank republican,
but he is tired OF seeing all the people
robbed In the interest Of a few, who
are already too rich. The Concord
Evening Monitor, Senator Chambers
paper, contains the following as a
leader, under this caption:
1.-THE Reduction of Wages IL Caused
by the Gold Standard. Work for
Silver Money, says Senator Chandler"
ga good New Years resolution for
republicans is to demand, and during
1898 struggle for blmetallism. Every
mar who works for wages should fight
against the single gold standard of
money, which Is the most potent cause
OF the recent reduction in wages made
In all the factories Of New England.
The decentralization of silver and the
consequent appreciation of gold, which
values, have contributed to
so reduce the price of commodities
that goods which would once. have
brought the producer 500 now bring
him only $50. This Is q worldwide
condition where gold prices prevail,
and because the manufacturers cannot
get the old prices for goods, they say
they cannot pay the old prices for
labor. But If it had not been for the
demonetization of SILVER, the wages of
labor everywhere in recent years would
have risen, because each laborer has
been able, year by year, to create a
product, and he has, therefore,
been entitled TO larger wages as his
share of that product. This legitimate
rise in wages the adoption of the gold
standard has prevented, and instead Of
. rise comes q fall.
"Here is the whole case in a nutshell,
and It 10 impregnable. The unanimous
of organized labor In America
and Europe Is, therefore, against the
gold standard and in favor OF
he restoration Of silver to its old
as standard money.
"Amerioan labor now has a protec-
I've tariff. Let all republicans fight 10
Keep the greenbacks IN circulation,
md to get rid of slavery to the gold
men, who gro trying to drive u OF
ise the silver money Of the wage
of the world"
