DEBATE DID NOT OCCUR.
O'RsiIiy Council Did Not Put in an
Appearance.

The debate on the question Resolved,
That Home Rule for Ireland is De-
sirous," which was to have taken place
in Green Ridge last night, between the
Phil Sheridan and John Boyle O'Reilly
Councils, Young Mems Institute, did
not eventuate, owing to the failure of
the OReilly councils champions to ap-
pear
James Roche, William Lewis and
Henry Hart of the Sheridan council,
volunteered to pit themselves against
the debaters who had prepared to meet
the O'Reilly's orators, and as a con-
sequence the large audience that had
gathered was treated to very lively
debate. DR.. w. II. McGreevy, ]. J..
Varley and C. z. Powderly, who COM
posed the regular team, had the affirm
ative. The scrub" team had the
negative, or rather they tried to refute
the arguments of the affirmative, for
as the chairman of the evening, Rev.
p. ]. McManus, said there is no mega
tive side to the question.
The judges, J. j. McTague, John z.
Brown and John Phillips, gave the VIC
tory to the regulars. While the judges
were enjoying a smoke the audience
enioyed a well delivered recitation by
Charles Hayres, one of the promising
young members of the Sheridans.

3 BEFORE BREAKFAST. s

Where are you going my pretty maidy'
M going a-voting, SIR" she said
But you can't vote, don't you know
said he.
"Ah, can't l thought" with a laugh cried
she
Just you watch me now and see!'
And the way she did it was Just this way
She never stopped near the polls that
day,
But a-shopping instead to her hearts
content
In its magical maze she merrily went.
And the way she voted was just this way:
II want you to vote the way 1 say
That's what she said on election day,
AND the nice young men who were glad
to obey
Just voted to please the fair little maid
And that's how the ballot she cleverly
swayed.

WHAT CHAIRMAN SAYS.

Chairman C. Z. Chittenden of the
Republican city committee said last
night that he was confident of the elec-
ton of the six Republican school di-
rectors today. The only danger to be
apprehend, he said, lies in the pos
sibility that some Republicans may
refrain from voting because not fully
impressed with the importance of the
contest.
The prohibition candidates flooded
the city yesterday with letters making
q plea for an independent school
board and as a basis for such an or
ganzation asked that the three pro-
hibition candidates be chosen the re-
naming three to be selected from
the best men among the Republican
and Democratic candidates.
The Republican city committee will
receive returns tonight in the central
Republican club rooms. Chairman
Chittenden requests all Republican
committeeman TO remain at their dis
