you want workp" The reply was quick
why don't you go to work yourselfp'
He said there we're

'Why don't you go 10 work yourselfY"
He said there were
TOO MANY "LEANRT.s,"
and enough of self-supporters. Pro-
ceeding, he said, when the l.. & N. de-
cided to take down its rookery at New
Orleans, which had served for years as
lame excuse for depot building in a
great city for great railroad company
two fellows, ,leaners against tho building,
objected; however, the building was de-
molished in the face OF protestation and
the expected did really happen--both
leaners fell to the ground. Two domape
suits Of $4,000 each were Immediately
hied against tho railroad company. A
jury rendered a verdict OF $1,000 in fay-
or u the plaintiffs. And many more in
cidents and tales the Judge regaled his
hearers with.
AS lifelong summer resident of Bay
st. Louis Judge o'Donnell urged the
necessity OF stock law and gave tho
move now on foot hearty endorsement.

ards municipal civilization, progress and
ultimate prosperity. Ho thanked his
hearers for their attention. The applause
hat followed was loud and long.
JNo. osolNAoH FAvoRs BOND ISSUE.
Mr.. Jno. osoinach, first vice president
OF the Commercial Club, merchant and
banker, arose from his seat, next TO that
OF the Presidents, on tho stage, and de-
livered an informal address that had the
true ring of progression in it.
He said ho heartily favored an issu-
ance OF municipal bond; that it was true
the city was free from debt and enioyed
the possession OF sufficient funds TO tide
over that period between tax paying
time, but aside from this Bay st. Louis
could never, never realize from such re-
venues, no matter how judiciously and
economically expended, the necessary
improvements imperative at the present
time OF the city's wonderful turn of tide
towards prosperity and the improvements
incidental to the growth Of live city
just as Bay st. Louis is destined.
FOR BIG HOTEL.
He continued in the midst of silence
that was inspiring, that he had recently
returned from little (2) trip and had
seen lots that Bay ST. Louis could en-
brace as suggestions and as lessons con-
tanning many things useful and proiita-
bic, /. O., II we are going to help our
selves. AT Alexandria Bay, up the st.
Lawrence river, he continued, alocalityt
not half as attractive and inviting as Bay
st. Louis, he saw million dollar hotel
he saw the surging crowds; thousands
81 visitors from allnarts, sNarninE &s
round its doors and on the beach, and he
thought what fortune must be spent
daily, and he thought further as he gaz-
above this scene Of animation he saw
Bay st. Louis, mirage-like, with such a
hotel, far more becoming this beauty
spot in South Mississippi, and visitors
here in larger numbers. A grand hotel,
Mr.. Osoinach said, was among the vital
necessities here, and improvements such
as better and more adequate system OF
waterworks was essential to the welfare
Of the people, and with bond issue we
could not only easily but in more i'm
mediate manner accomplish the desired
end. (Applause.)
MIR. N. H. MOODY,
a truer Bay st. Louisian never existed.
made brief but magnificent address in
behalf OF the necessity OF stock law,
80 forceful an address, so lncontroveti-
BILE his arguments that the gentleman
who had came with aspeech up his sleeve
in opposition to the proposed ordinance Q
remained mum throughout the evening.
Mr.. Moody's address was noted fAis
sound thinking, scholarly langual i'd
able delivery. Every shot hit the marx. |
He appealed in the name OF progress,
pride, decency, and, above all,
for the safety OF the lives OF ladies and
children. He was hberally applauded.
Attorney Nix made few remarks
during the evening which were well re-
ceived.
The session adjourned, after which re-
freshments, provided for by the club,
was served.
Several applications for membership
were received. The Commercial Club isa
in the ascendeney. Long may it live. |
