WILLIAMS AND CLARY CONCERT
POSTPONED.

Owing to the datesss of these concerts
coming so near the performance of grand
opera in Portland, it has been deemed
advisable by the management to post
pone them, SO the people in this city will
not hear Williams and Clary until later
period, which will be regretted by many.
Great interest is being felt in Eastern
Maine and the provinces regarding these
big musical events, and it is to be hoped
that Portland will not have long to wait.

WILL KEEP OPEN TWO DAYS MORE
st. Patrick's Garden Party Exceeds
Expectations.

So successful has the garden party at
Bramhall Park been during the four days of
last week, that Father Talon has decided to
open the gate for two more nights, tonight
and tomorrow night. Saturday afternoon,
when the gates were thrown open, the chill
dren fiocked in and before a half hour had
passed fully two hundred tots were enjoying
themselves in the pretty pleasure grounds.
In the evening the older folk held sway,
and the gathering was the largest OF any
night.
Although the weather was not of the best,
the crowd enjoyed it immensely. The dane
ing platform was the place most patronized
by the young folk, and the first strains of
tie orchestra brought the merry dancers to
the pavilion. the fortune-telling tents were
kept busy as usual as were the refreshment
booths. The pretty girls in attendance had
their hands full administering to the wants
OF the happy crowd. The woolly headed
gent at whom countless balls were thrown
with more or less accuracy, was kept very
busy Saturday night lodging the spheres,
and he was not sorry when the party closed
for the night. /
The wheel of fortune was the scene of
much activity, and that attraction profited
to the amount of $40. The large dressed
porker, on which chances were taken, was
won by Richard Howe This also Melted
$5I. The shooting gallery was well patron
lied, and the prizes offered by the church
for the best scores were awarded as fol-
lows First prize, a hadsome rocking chair,
was won by Abraham Buzzard, of the
Catholic Club; second prize. a barrel of
-four, was won by Mr.. Duffy, and the ladies'
first prize, a silver pickle dish, was awarded
to Miss Maggie Lennon.

MONUMENT TO ENSIGN BAeLEY.

The Morning Post" Raleigh, N. c.,
has undertaken to raise, by popular sub
scription, a fund for the erection of a
monument to the memoir of Ensign
Worth Bagley, the hero of Cardenas n
the first American naval officer to fall in
the war with Spain.
A committee of prominent citizens OF
North Carolina will be appointed to take
charge of the fund and carry out the plan
for erecting the monument, which will be
placed in some public square or park in
Raleigh, the capital of the State.
More than one thousand dollars has al
ready been contributed, the greater part
in small sums from citizens of the State,
although a few subscriptions have been
received from other States, in almost ev-
cry instance being accompanied by very
cordial commentator of the movement
One of the letters received was from the
New York Commandery of the Naval Or
der of the United States, enclosing a
check for one hundred dollars, n con-
tanning the following
One of the purposes of the Naval Or
der of the United States is ito honor
forever the illustrious deeds of naval
commanders, their companions in
arms and their sub~ordinates," and it
seems peculiarly fitting that we should
now assist in marking appropriately
and permanently the grave of this
young officer.

Eilverite Enemies OF Democratic
Success.

The idfotic conduct of two or three poll
ficians of the silver stripe has once again
given life to the idea that the Democratic
party will be divided in the coming State
election That Camden dinner held the
pther day is the text of all sorts of prog
nostications by the Republican organs.
This is to be regretted, IS the party is
really in good shape. The disposition OF
the majority of the leaders is to drop the
populistic nonsense and get together in
State issues. The voters have really
ceased to care a pin about silver or It's
ridiculous representative from the Far
West, and, If disturbing questions were
avoided at this time, there would be a
fair certainty of a harmonious convention.
a nomination pleasing to all elements OF
the party, an enthusiastic campaign and
a sweeping victory.
This course of events, however, would
not suit sleaderse of the Clarence T.. At
in the front rank when the party is unit
ed and headed by men of real ability.
They are naturally tenth rates, and moth
ing but mistakes which estrange the real
leaders can give them a chance of the
conspicuousness for which they crave.
Therefore, they are trying to stir up
strife and confusion again by sounding
the old war whoops, and by appeals %
