GENTLEMEN'S NIGHT.
Philomathian Entertain in a
Royal Manner.

For the first time in its history the
Philomathlan Club gave last even
ing "Gentlemcn's Night" at the homo
of Mrs. w. f. Morse. There were about
Fifty presentincluding the members of
the club, their husbands and a few OF
their gentlemen friends. 1t is safe to
say that there has not been more sue
cessful social event in Barre this season,
and the Philomathians as entertainers
cannot be excelled. The spacious man.
sion was scene of pleasure and enjoy
ment from the time the guests began to
arrive at o'clock until nearly 10.
Everybody was informally welcomed
in the large reception room and made
at once to feel sat home' by the club.
Some very artistic dinner cards
which had been designed by the ladies
and decorated by Mrs. II. A. Phelps,
were passed around to the gentlemen
and at 6 80 they all sat down to dim
ner that would have gratitied the most
fastidious eastern monarch.
When full justice had beon done to
the viands, Mrs. o ii. Hale arose to do
the hOnors US toastmistress, and we con-
ylaluate her as we'll Us the club upon
the excellent manner in which she car
ried out her part. We exceedingly re-
yret that we have not space for her en-.
tire remarks and also of the other
speakers.
The first toast, ''Our guests, the Gen
tlcmen," was responded to by Miss
Isham. Mr.. Nlahewson was next
called upon and he was followed by
Miss Alice Smith, who responded to
the toast "Our Club Work" Miss
Smith gave very interesting outline of
the work the club is doing, of its liter
airy research, and its aims to benefit
the city. Mayor Gordon was TO have
been one of the speakers, but was un-
able to be present and the Rev. T. II.
Mitchell responded to the toast
"Work of the Civic Federation"
Mr.. Mitchell represented the sentiment
of the whole people when he expressed
his admiration and praise for the noble
work they are doing and incidentally he
mentioned the need of hospital in our
midst. Mrs Currler was the next
speaker. and she was followed by
Prof. Ilolister, who responded to the
toast "Divines," and in his remarks
gave great praise to the ladies for their
bounteous repast, for their aims in the
club, and their part in the Federation
which is among other plans trying to
formulate scheme for securing a IL
brary.
This concluded the list of speakers
and for the next hour and Il half every
body enjoyed social time, and had in
the meantime the pleasure of listening
to songs by Mrs. Braley and reading
by the Rev. Ef1ie X. Nj. Jones.

those living outside the favored street
would have to wait a long time before
we would recover from its bankruptcy
to be able to do anything for them. II
is very important to know how you pro.
pose to do this, Let us hear from you
MIR. Swazey, as the people want to be
instructed as to how the money is to be
raised.
Then the same question arises about
sewers. There is nothing to-day before
this city Of more importance than the
question of sewers on the west side of
the river, but how are they to be con-
structed. They will cost about $40 200
Now unless we leave the line of justice
we Will have to either construct this
sewer wholly at the expense of the city
or else make an assessment Oh that part
of the sewer on the east side of the riv-
er, which has not paid for any sewer
privileges.
This is one of our present difficulties
arising out Of having privileged class
among us. There are great many of
our fellow citizens who have helped to
pay for sewers on one side of the river
yet have never derived any benefit from
them. This is a question worthy of the
consideration of any able business man,
and have no doubt MIR. Swasey will be
only too glad TO let us know his solu-
ton, so we can vote accordingly.
Let Us have something more tangible
than rambling statements in MIR. Swa-
sev's platform. 1t will at least give
MIN one more vote, although was Que
who signed Mayor Gordon's papers as
a candidate,if if Mr.. Swasey is able to
unravel these very interesting questions
which he las put in his platform with
no definite plan for working them out
They are very perplexing to the peo-
pie he expects to represent and we will |
be only too plad to get them stived in
the proper way. lie has put all the
issues in his platform and we
shall expect him to make the same clear,
so that any of us who are not able to
understand the hidden mysteries of il
may have the cobwcbs brushed away.

In looking over your paper last even

to my letter to MIR. Swazey, one of
them was signed Tax Payer, other Con-

these letters were great men, having
more. knowledge than ordinary common
people, men of genius and high in pro.
fession and yet could see they lacketh
omething, to be noble men, and could
notIgrnsp for a moment just what it was,
and all at once it occurred to me about
the two Scotchmen that was having a
good time one day and one of them
asked the other, Why is doctor like

makes shafting out of soft iron aud
calls it steel. Ma, ma, that is nn it,

WANT TO BE POLICEMEN

AZ Candidates Yesterday.

About the usual number of candi-
dates appeared to take the civil service
examination for the police force, which
was conducted in the council chamber
at city hall yesterday morning and af-
ternoon.
The examination was under the d.
rection of Henry Sherwin of Boston,
chief examiner for the state. Mr..
Sherwin was accompanied by his clerk,
Albert E. Taylor, who, with Frank B.
Hall, James Early, John P. Munroe of
the local board of examiners, assisted
in the work. There were AZ candidates,
including several who have tried the
examination and found themselves
lacking in some requirement, but are
anxious to try again.
AS soon as the candidates received
notice Of whether their examinations
are successful, those who pass will go
before DR.. Walter T. Clark for the
physical examination, and afterwards
to the gymnasium of the Y NJ. c. A..
where they will be put through a series
of athletic exercises to test strength
and proportion.
Those who took the examinations
were: Herbert E. Austin, John H.

REMOVES TO AUDITORIUM ANNEX.
After Mrs. O'NeiH had carried her
household effects to the warehouse, the
petition says, the family vine and fig
tree were planted in apartments at the
Auditorium Annex that cost $500 a
month. Six weeks later her name van
ished from the hotel register, the cred
itors claim, along with trunkloads and
boxfuls of property. Since then the pc
tition bemoans the fact that "she has
concealed herself and taken uD her
abode at a place unknown" Meantime
the court has appointed E. B. Mickey
receiver, to have custody of the ware
house goods in controversy.
Since the petition for involuntary
bankruptcy was filed the lawyers Say
evidence has multiplied that Mrs.
O'Neill scattered her purchases all over
the country. A New York dressmaker
has a bill for $4,000. St. Louis book
dealers want $4,000 for shelves of edi-
tions de luxe. State street dry goods,
china and jewelry stores are in line
with claims ranging from $1,000 up. And
on the books of a needlework establish
ment in the Marshall Field building is

els at S. apiece, ordered by Mrs. O'Neill
from the Auditorium Annex. The at

Mrs. O'Neill is the wife of Henry J..

to fame as 1.-The barley king" Her

Mrs. O'Neitrs penchant is set forth in
a long petition filed by the law firms of

SLIDER. on behalf of Mandel Bros. and
Rowe Bros, to whom it is alleged she
owes more than $4,000. The court is
told that her sphere of operations
ranged up and down State street, until
since 1896 she managed to invest more
than $500 coo in bricabrac, house furn-
ishings. books, paintings, gowns,
trunks, Jewels, plate, land other costly
articles of personal adornement."
DELvEs INTO FAMILY HISTORY.
The petition delves into family his
tory and recites that when Mrs. O'Neifl,
who was a Pontiac (Mich.) widow, was
led to the altar by Mr.. O'Neill, four
years ago, she was put into luxurious
apartments in the Winnemac, Ellis and
Oakwood avenues, which she proceeded
to furnish in lavish and extravaganza
style. She is said to have dwelt amid
this finery until Aug. l, 1899, when she
packed up her oriental rugs and tapes
tries for storage in the Sibley ware
house This. the petition alleges, was
a "subterfuge" to defraud merchants,
who were sending the O'Neills urgent
invitations to please remit.
Further fraud is charged in the fact
that storage was taken in the name of
Mrs. ONeill's father, Samuel j. Tom
linson Of Pontiac. 1t was represented
that Mr. Tomlinson had paid his daugh-
ter $500 for her goods, but the credi-
tors say Tomlinson is democratic edl-
tor in republican stronghold, and
