BOND EalI to Read This.

In order to meet the present emergency
in supplying the pressing wants of the
poor, the Town Council last night agreed
to appoint Mr.. David Howell to receive
contributors from citizens of both town
ara county, and in conjunction with the
ministers of the town to distribute the
same among the needy of the commune
ty as their judgment may deem best, and
that the town appropriate one hundred
dollars toward the same. Private charity
has already accomplished much, but
there are urgent needs which demand
larger resources, and our good friends
from the country, we are sure, will come
to the aid of the town in this worthy
cause, our townspeople also lending their
efforts as well. Contributions of money,
fuel OF provisions will be gladly received
in any quantity, andifleft with Mr.. David
Howell will be given the best disposition
possible TO do justice to all and relieve
those who in this trying time are unable
to relieve themselves. What is done
should be done quickly So leave your
contributions with Mr. Howell at once
whether it be pound of sugar or barrel
of -four; a bushel.of coal orl load of wood
a dime or a five dollar bill.

SPEECH OF MAYOR w1LL1AMs.

n1tdyOA w lllSilllS III lGoIOuelillS 70 Tie
toast to the "City of Winchester" at the
chas. Broadway Rouss banquet expected
to follow Mr. Wilson, in his response to
"Charles Broadway Rouss," and this
treat having been denied the auditors by
Mr.. Wilson's enforced absence, thought
it proper to devote his remarks more
largely than hehad expected to Mr.. Rouss
and his connection with Winchester
even though it led him to leave unsaid
much he had intended.
Referring to the belief that to the blind,
in compensation for theloss of sight, was
given an increased power of spiritual Wis
ion; of the "eye of the mind" the speak
er fancied that Mr.. Rouss, in his dark
ened home, amid the memories trooping
to birthday anniversary, walked in
spirit through picture gallery hung with
the scenes of his past life: the store boy,
in Jacob Senseney's; then his start in
business; mounting store box on Court
day, selling few boxes of blue-headed
matches and cakes of soap; his little store
on Main street; then when he bethought
him of taking him helpmeet; his visits
to the dwelling on Braddock street, scarce
biscuit toparom the banquet hall, uutil
he placed on the fair young brow of
the woman of his choice, the orange
blossoms of the bride, and entered with
her in the long path that ended just the
other day, when he brought her to this
home of his young manhood and laid her
away to rest beside the boy he and she
had loved and lost; the struggles and
triumphs of his business life in old Win
CHESTER felt and priced even now when
he stood in the front ranks of commercial
and financial success, and the little store
in Winchester was comparison picture
to the vast structure that was one of the
sights of the metropolis of the nation.
And there knowing as he did, that his
grateful friends were assembled to honor
his birthday, with the inner eye of
the blind he COULD see the procession
pass along the familiar streets into the
light and beauty and cheer of the banquet
hall, with the representatives of Winches-
ter's brain anb braun and youth and man
hood, gathered around the festive board
BUTT would not occur to him here in
honor, as it were of the occasion, the
storm angels had draped the old ia
miliar streets with theirroofs and branch
ing trees, in festive hangings of the pure
and beautiful snow; broidered with the
snow diamonds that swayed and flashed
and sparkled under the glitter of the cleo
trio lights, and made decoration fit for a
king.
fastening to a conclusion, tie speaker
did not find it needful to dwell upon Mr..
<ouss' claims upon the grateful affection
of men before him, and contenting him
self under the circumstances with gen
era1 reference to Winchsster,s deserved
growth and prosperity and recognized
attractions he closed with the fervent
wish that the good God would make her
people as grateful as they ought to be for
his many blessings to them, and the bet
ter able to make free and fitting use of
them.
