ITTIE TO !. &. SMITH,
Waxahachie. Tex

Rev Sir We should ike TO ask
your advice on a certain thing done
was II right or wrong? We shall
have to state It, including the names
ID. F. Dreicorn is q painter in Holy
oke. Mass John J. Donohue is an
architect, Springfield, near by
Donohue was building. at Holyoke,
the Holy Family Institute, letting the
work by bids, as usual. Dreicorn
got the paint job, the paint was TO
be lead-and-oil
But Dreicorn said TO himself lead
and oil isn't half SO good as Deyoe
and it costs more money, what shall
| do?" He painted Devoe; and, af-
ter the work was done, told Donohue,
saying "if that isn't better than any
lead-and-oil job, III make it SO.
Was Dreicorn right or wrong in
painting a lead-and-oil job Devoe?
You ask how it turned out. This
another job there, big addition to
the Catholic Hospital and he doesn't
ask bids for the painting, but says to
Dreicorn GO ahead, Driecorn, and
give me as good job as you did on
the Institute. That's the best paint
job | ever saw
The question is, was Dreicorn
right in painting Devoe when he had
agreed to paint lead-and-oi oil?"
That isn't quite all. Lead-and-oil
| is expected to last three years. II
! Dreicorn had used lead-and-oil, there
would have been another job for him
or somebodyelse three years ago.
Was he right in losing that jot
for himself or somebody else three
lyears ago?
, The institute took 200 gallons De
voc and cost $1,000; the paint hs
worn six years, when Donohue say
1 ''it's the best paint job he ever saw
If he had used lead-and-oil. it woul
! have cost about $1,000 for the tw
paint jobs @six and three years ago
and be hungry for paint again.
Dreicorn lost $500 of busines
and took the risk of making Donohu'
Imad and losing his business, forever
Ian TO save the Holy Family Institute
l12OO besides the fuss of paint job
Was Dreicorn right or wrong as a
painter; and which would you paint
your church, lead-and-oil or Devoe
Yours truly,

A meeting Of the Mckinley Memoir
ial Association was held yesterday af-
ternoon in the law offices Of Ward and
Gray and the design for a fitting testi-
monial to the martyred President was
adopted.

shape OF an immense granite tablet,
suitably inscribed and engraved. The
design was drawn by p. E. Kelly, Of

with a suitable background of bould e
ers.

Of granite about fourteen feet In
height and eight feet wide, with corr
nice cap and chased edges and finish
ed with artistic simplicity. On the
face OF the granite it is proposed to
place a bronze tablet about six feet
wide and five feet high containing a

proposed to have bas-relief Of the
bust Of the late President.
