Mr.. Eli Mlnch. rich bachelor, who died IN New n
few days ago claimed that he had never ATTENDED Il
ever played cards, checkers dominoes, baseball OF
ever skated with girl; never went counting aa 1
as in love.
What did he live for anyway?
Poor Eli Minch!
He never had the time to play,
He never loved maiden fair;
He never rushed on circus day
Away from duty and from care,
Poor Eli Minch
He never held a madens hand
While gliding DER icy plain,
Nor tumbled with maiden and
Got up with her to try again
Alas alack for Eli Minch!
He just made money day by day
Poor Eli Minch!
And let no dear one come to lay
Her cheek against his own and try
To get him woozled up 10 pay
For gimcracks that she wished to buy
Poor Eli Minch
He ne'er bent DER the checker board !.
Or mourned when faulty moves were n'at
His only pleasure was to hoard
And now beneath the sod he's laid
And no one weeps for Eli Mineh
he never knew the sweet delight
Poor Eli Minch-
OF sitting, with but little light,
Close, close TO some enchanting gin
And counting her till late at night,
And going home, with head awhiTi-
Poor Eli Mnch--
To dream sweet dreams of all her charms
He ne'er saw one with wistful eyes
As he held out imploring arms
Rush into them--with happy sghs-
Alas for luckless Eli Mineni
He nevel hurried home at night
Poor Eli Minch--
To lsping little ones whose bright !,
Eyes danced with love, whose childish ss'
Was shouted as he came in sight
And bounced upon them hungry-
Poor Eli Minch
His cheeks were never stroked by smah'
Soft hands that stole out of his own
He piled up wealth and that was ALL
And went his loveess way alone.

Rattle Postponed.

At a meeting Of the carnival fire.
men committee yesterday afternoon
1t was decided to postpone the
rattle for the automobile until Oct.
/, at 1890 p, m. at which time 1t
will occur at the city building.
This action was made necessary
for the reason that the tickets are
scattered from Bradford to Cincin-
natl, and the unsold tickets have
not all been returned. Hence the
committee could not tell what
tickets are entitled to participate In
the rattle and what are not. The
prize for the best suggestion for the
rattle will not be decided until the
day before the rattle, and Is still
open. The committee would be
pleased to receive the suggestions
from all who have In mind an
euuible and feasible plan for rafting
off this magnificent horseless car
riage. It Is the browning feature
of the carnival and will be SUR
rounded with such safeguards as
will make it perfectly honest and
fair 10 each holder of a ticket.
