 A. Celebration Last Night.
 The Catholic Literary association eel ebrated Emmet's birthday last night i'll Prof Provost's dancing hall in the Platt block, East Main street. Be sides the banquet an interesting pro- gram was rendered. Chairman Thom- as F. English presided and delivered the opening address. Other numbers were as follows: Address, Robert Emmet." William c.

Tierney; recitation. .'The March of Intellect,' Attorney F. J. McMahon. The singing by the Misses White and Gibbons and 1r Hughes was feature of the meet ing. each being warmly applauded and responded to encores. The recitations and addresses pleased all and evoked
 
 much pleasure to the younger members of the society to hear q few remarks from MT Moran and Mir Keenan. two men who have been prominently identi- fled with the association since it was organized over thirty-five years ago, and to whose efforts much of it's sue cess is due. Mir McMahon has been member of the organization for over twenty years and has always taken an active interest in everything that had for it's aim the furthering of the ob- jects for which the society was found, ed, the cultivation of the mind and the moral and intellectual advancement of young men. MT Tierney is an ex7snem- Der who has helped the society in va rious ways duging his connection with it and since. NJ. F. Skelly. a man of marked ability and a speaker of wide reputation, electrified his hearers and was given an ovation that would fit q Geraldine. He left his home in Wood bury and came here to spend the even- ing with men most of whom had never set foot on the Emerald Isle, but were not ashamed to own their nationality and had come together to do what lay in their power to perpetuate the mem ory of Emmet, one of those cherished martyrs who took up the cause of his country when it was treason to breathe her name, and sacrificed his young life in an honest and heroic effort to win for her the guarantee which Washing ton had wrested from the same gov ernment for the land we all are proud to call our own and where so many of the men whom Emmet and his com patriots fought and bled and died for had found q refuge. secure from the merciless hand of those who sought to stamp the race out of existence. About a hundred persons were in attendance, over half of whom were ladies. The committee of arrangements consisted of John Walsh. Thomas J. Farrelly and Thomas English

WHO WILL PAY BILLS
City Ordered Tearing Down of tue
 Ruined Walls.

Ruined Walls.
 The bills for tearing down the shat tered walls of the ruins caused by the fire have begun to come before the board of public safety. A bunch of them amounting to about 5000 was heard from last evening at the meet ing of the board What to do with them appears to be a question of a great deal of importance now, but in the end the city will have to pay.
 After the fire, which occurred Feb ruary ?, most of the walls left stand ing were found to be unsafe and danger to the public. As the people ill general and the business portion particularly were in great state of excitement, the city ordered that all dangerous ruins be razed. Chief Snagg of the fire department was as signed to the work and he transferred it to q few contractors who were ac- customed to the use of dynamite and all danger was soon removed. Now these contractors are beginning to send in their bills and the question of responsibility for them comes with them also.
 The matter is compared to that of the city building q sidewalk for an obstinate property owner whose will stands in the way of public improve ment. Rather than stay progress the city builds the sidewalk and sends the bill to the property owner. He sets up cry that he did not order side walk from the city, but his cry is of no avail and in the end he has to pay. But there is a difference of opinion, also, and it is said by authority that the city will have to pay. The mat ter will be further discussed at the meeting of the board next Saturday evening.

 The old cement maths nave out lived their usefulness and will have fo Fe replaced with iron ones as soon as possible The water department has had considerable trouble witt tlIe cement mains this winter anl 1t $ thought that an effort will be li.:lGe to discard as many as possible Of t!nn this year. The cement mains are lo- cat"d iIl the following stseets: High street from Cherry strees to Walnut street: Hillside avenue .r,n Cl:fT street to Prospect street; Buckingham street from Prospect street to Cooke street; Prospect street from Grove street to Buckingham street; Walnut street from Cossett street to High street; also in Wall avenue. some of these pipes have been laid about thir- ty years and are in such poor condi- fion that they are in danger of giving out any day. The water department is also having trouble with tho Fort Hill water main. 1t was laid some years ago by the owner of the land, who later had it accepted by the city. Upon investigation this winter it was found that the pipe is but two feet and eight inches below the surface of the ground so that the city can do noth- ing with it until the frost goes out of the earth. Naturally the people are finding fault, but the city cannot help this. Tn fact it was a great mistake to accept the main without finding out whether it was safe from the frost.

A New Improvement in Burial Baskets.

Boston, Mass, Feb 20, 19O2.
 We have this day appointed JOHN MORIARTY, of Waterbury, Ct, the well known undertaken, sole agent for our ROLLED STEEL BURIAL CAS- KETS. These metal caskets will be sold as cheap as the ordinary wooden caskets and are endorsed by the Bos- ton and New York boards of health, as we'll as the War and Navy de- partments. They are proof against all contagious diseases, being abso- lutely air tight; they are covered in all kinds of goods of various colors and the prices are extremely low and within the reach of every family. The popularity of these caskets is ev- idenced by the fact that our factory is taxed to it's utmost capacity to keep up with the demand.
 Very respectfully,
