Matrimonial troubles are being
given an airing this afternoon be-
fore District Judge billiard. As is
usually the case on divorce day the

pinety-flve cases on the civil docket,
this number including those tried
at the last term of court and re-
manded by the higher courts. While
the work Of calling the docket was
going on the plaintiffs ia divorce
suits occupied an anxious seat,
eagerly waiting for the wheels of
Justice to revolve around to this
part Of the docket. At 1880 the first
case was called and they came in
rapid succession until all present
had a hearing.
Thr organization of the grand
jury was completed at II O'Clock and
this afternoon the big twelve began
transacting business behind closed
doors. The charge of the court was
quite lengthy and was along the
usual lines, particular attention
being called to the offenses of muir
DIR, assault to murder, aggravated
assault, robbery, theft in it's various
forms, swindling, forgery and rape.
In making up the jury only three
or four men were drawn from the
regularllist, the others having,to be
picked up by the officers. The per
sonel of the jury is as follows:
w. l.. p. Leigh, foreman, Wax

Birthday Surprise.

The friends of Mrs. Ann Ford on Mary
Street gave her a very agreeable surprise
last Tuesday evening, it being her BIRTH
day. Mrs. Ford was doing her ironing
when she heard a rap at the door. Upon
opening it she was stricken with amaze
ment when the party burst into the room.
The evening was spent in social chat
and much merriment while James Askin
accompanied them on his monograph
with funny and laughable speeches and
songs.
At a late hour the company adjourned
to the dining room where a bountiful sup
ply OF fruit, cake and sandwiches were
provided, of which all partook with
thanks. Mrs. Ford's children presented
her with a nice center table. 1t was near
ing midnight when the company took
their departure, wishing her many joyful
birthdays.
Those present we're Mr.. and Mrs. AL
bert Dahms and children, Mrs. Vincent

Harker; Financial Secretary and Treasur-
er, VIM. Seeds; Relief COMMITTEES, Rich

The association was organized because
the employees have been frequently called
on to assist workmen and their families,
because a man has been injured or be-
cause Of sickness in the family. Some are
always willing to assist while others give
nothing. The sympathetic and Tree
hearted have borne most of the burden
while others shirked who afterwards be-
came i'll need. This association is to ac-
cumulate a relief fund for each member
by monthly payments of the members.

then have NO claim on their fellow work.

ness to help others. Every employee at
the powder works should be q member.
