WRAPPER BUSINESS

The Partisan Wrapper Company,
which has been up against all kinds of
financial troubles since it was estab-
lished a few years ago, has once more
changed hands. A deal was closed yes

company was purchased by c. T.
Sherer, who comes into possession of
the entire stock of 1000 dozen of finish

the goods in stock, cut and uncut, and
the goodwill of the old company. The
finished wrappers are to be removed
from the shop on Winter Street to the
store of c. T. Sherer & Company on
Front Street and the business of the
company at the shop may be continued
by Mr.. Sherer.
The plant has been UP against it ever
since it was started and James Early
and G. H. Windeler of Boston, assig-
nees of the first company, sold the
business last February to william B.
Clark. An attempt was made to or

honor and glory upon you. And proud
are we to say that we belong to the
parish he ruled over so wisely.
Five years ago one went out from
among us and it would be but natural
that man going out of a parish into
the broad world to be thrown among
dignitaries and trials should forget that
little parish. but five years have seen
no changes come over that heart. Five
years have seen changes come over
that head. Gray hairs, and 1 may say
white hairs, have come. but in his heart
he ever thinks of his old parish.
He is now a member Of the house
mold Of the Holy Father. The dignita-
ry of the episcopate that raised him
from the ranks Of the clergy makes
him one Of the rulers of the church.
His heart is Gus still, and this must be
apparent TO you all in the doings Of the
past few days.
Right Reverend Bishop, I welcome
you back again to the Heart Of the
Commonwealth. back again to the
scenes Of your early ministry and,
more than all. to your old home"

True sentiment and love born q
years ago when Bishop ConaJy took up

Washington, Dec. 2.-The opening Of
the first session of the 57th Congress in
the House of Representatives furnished
spectacle which delighted the
crowded galleries. The machinery of
the House is cumbrous, and it is set
in motion by laborious process, but
the spectators today evidently did not
consider it tedious for they chung to
their places through the entire proceed
ings, which lasted four and one-half
hours, probably half the time being
consumed in the monotonous calling of
the roll.
The organization of the body was ac-
complished according to time-honored
precedents. Speaker Henderson was
sworn in by Gen. Bingham, the
Father of the House." and after deliv-
ering a graceful speech in recognition
Of the honor bestowed upon him, he in
turn administered the oath to the
members-elect.
The members and many of the spec
tators arose and stood with bowed
heads as Rev. Couden, the blind chap
lain, invoked the Divine blessing. The
prayer was as follows:
Eternal and ever living Cod our
father through whose infinite wisdom,
power and goodness our republic has
been brought through all the vicissi-
tudes of the past in triumph, we bless
Thee for its phenomenal growth,it UNI
paralleled prosperity, its influence at
home and abroad, and for the bright
hopes and promises for its future. Fire
the heart of each citizen throughout
our land with earnestness and zeal for
its welfare and for the great principles
upon which it is founded and help US to
distinguish clearly between liberty and
license, order and chaos, government
and anarchy, for righteousness exalt-
eth a nation, but sin is a reproach to
any people," Let Thy blessing descend
in full measure upon the members of
Congress now convened and guide them
in their strenuous endeaVors to enact
Just and equitable laws and provide for
the maintenance of our government.
Uphold and sustain the speaker Of
this House in his arduous duties and

dent of these United States, protect
him from violent death and support
him in his endeavors to minister eff
