FAIR IS A Big SUCCESS
LARGE CROWD IN ATTEND
ANCE LAST NIGHT.
Catholic Ladies' and Their Assist
ants Score Decided Hit With
Their Displays.

The Catholic fair opened its doors to
| the public last evening at $40 and
| there was grand rush for seats to
| partake OF the chicken dinner served
with savory elegance by Mrs. James
] Har. and an efficient corps OF as
sistants. Three tables reaching the
entire width Of the room were spread
and they were crowded continuously
| for upwards OF two hours while large
crowd surged back and forth through
out the spacious room patronizing the
various booths, and endulglng other
wIse In the many profitable methods
introduced by the ladies TO raise funds.
when chair at the tables was left
vacant II was at once filed by another.
and 30 the banquet went on. When
the tables were cleared 1t did not IN
any way lessen the attendance. but as
the evening passed the crowds rather
increased, and II was an apprecsative
and liberal multitude. TO say the least.
The candy booth. presided over by
Miss Laws and Miss o'connor, held
all the sweets ever conceived, and
that they touched the right spot Is
well attested by the fact that the stock
in trade was NEST inordinately depict
ed. However. the shelves and coun-
ter viii be sufficiently replenlshed by
today to meet any demands made upon
them.
The fancy goods booth rs conducted
by Mrs. w. A. Stine. Mrs. William j.
Cook and Misses Rahles and Sinnotr.
This department contains all sorts and
conditions Of cushions. soft and beau
tlful, and fabrics of delicate pattern
with various handsome designs. The
arr lngements OF this booth are con-
Quoted with particularly refined taste,
the colors blending in pure content
ment and harmony reigning through
out. Displayed in conspicuous po-
sition is the cushion which will be
given to the most popular Elk in the
city. The article possesses rare work.
manship and attracts every one by its
appropriate design, which consists of
an elk head worked in choice material.
The art gallery is managed by Miss
Magee, who has shown good judg-
ment in displaying her wares, which
are statuettes and portraits of all sizes
and scenes-a rare exhibition prepar-
ed by master hands.
Another booth. presided over by Mrs.
Frank Cook and Miss Scott, holds
lovely articles of needlework done by
the ladies' guild. This display espec-
tally attracted tn, attention of the
ladies present.
Perhaps the most novel scene of the
entire fair is the country store. T. A.
Leahy and Jack McCann stood behind
the counter and disposed OF everything
from raw potato TO foaming soda
water, and the way they accumulated
dollars was. bewildering.
The ice cream parior was we'll pat
ronized and proved good money
maker. Mrs. NJ. Nolan, Miss Ford,
Miss Goodman. Miss L. Fannon and T.
McCann officiated at the tables and
they were kept constantly busy serv-
ing the large number of customers.
That the fair is proving remarkably |
is shown by the fact that a
sum amounting 20 1881 has already
been taken in. which almost equals the
entire amount, realized by the same |
methods last year.

The Conservative, 1902-03-13
THE MERIT
SYSTEM.

the merit system in the civil service Of
the United States than Theodore Roose-
welt. AS president of the Civil Service
Commission, in 1898, he was distin-
guished as the foremost advocate of ap-
pointmehts to the civil service of the
United States because of merit instead
of partisan service or partisan prejudice.
The Conservative believes President
Roosevelt as thoroughly honest and
sincere in his devotion to the principles
of the merit system to-day as he was
then. Therefore it has great confidence
that he will not permit the removal of
any competent, efficient and honest post
master or other public servant simply
because it is demanded by some practi-
cal politician who desires to put friend
into all official job There is no moro
reason why an honest and faithful pub
lie servant should be removed to make
room for political successor than there
is reason for removing competent
cashier or an efficient teller in bank
because someone else who is friend of
one of the directors may wish his place.
Long service in public position by an
honest and efficient man makes the
service more and more useful to the
general public. Offices were created to
facilitate the carrying on of the business
Of the public, and not for the purpose of
exalting or remunerating private citi-
zens. A public Office is a public trust
and has always been so held by the best
citizenship of this republic.
