Horse Market Slow Monday

Last Monday was court Cay and as
usual a number OF horse buyers were
here. The market, however, was not
very brisk, owing to the high prices
at which horses were held. The prices
asked ranged from $3.50 to $29O and
mere, but the animals did not change
hands at the advanced figures. 1t was
the general impression that fictitious
values we've pot on horses, and foreign
BUYERS refused to purchase at such
prices. 1t Is their business to buy and
sell, and they claim that at the prices
asked Monday there was 70 profit for
them In the transaction. Therefore
nany horses were taken home by their
owners. and Others were sold late In
the day at smaller prices than at first
asked.

Lexington Firemen Held Annual
Banquet Monday Night

Banquet Monday Night
The annual banquet Of the Lex
ington Volunteer Fire Company
was held Monday night at the res
taurant Of Holmes d Rowland, and
the affair was a most pleasant one.
A number invited guests greatly
enjoyed the hospitalitieS of the
fire laddies, and the menu was
abundant and toothsome, consis-
ting Of oysters, stewed and
fried, turkey, ham, chicken
salad, celery, cream and cake,
oranges, coffee, cigars and pale
beer, and to this delightful spread
ample justice was done by both
hosts and guests.
At the conclusion Of the ban
quet, Mr.. ]. w. Seal, tho toast
master, called on a number of the
vieitors, who responded in happy
vein in honor Of the occasion. The
speakers we're: DR.. Hunter Pendle'
ton, representing the Town Coun-
Gil; Capt. W. F. Pierson, ex mayor
Of the town; Mr.. FrSnk Moore,
the fire insurance companies; Mr. d.
VIM. R. Kennedy, the press; DR..
Charles Manly, the clergy; Mr..
Paul NJ. Penick, former council
mau: DR.. A. D. EstilI, former
health officer Of the town; Mr.. j..
Med. Adair, in behalf of the Fire
Company. The following gentle
men were alec called, who rsGpon-
ded briefly: Messrs. Charles Pole.
j. W. Lakewood, A. N. Myers, A.
L. Koones, Z. NJ. Pendleton, W. T.
Irwin and A. T. Shields.
While all the tslks we're in keep
ing with the spirit of the occasion,
that Of Mr.. Adrir is deserving OF
special II err ton from the fact that
it WIS suggestive of several need
ed improvements to the Fire Com
pany. Among others was the at
tention called to the needs OF a
public reading room, where the
Young men of the department and
of the town as well could meet at
night for pleasant recreation and
social intercourse. With magazines,
good papers, and other current
literature, library in time, such
an Institution would no doubt be
productive Of incslcalable good in
helping to shape the moral tone OF
young men in the community.
And it is to be hoped that the
suggestion thus casually thrown
out will result in something tangi-
BILE.
Previous to the banquet the an.
nual meeting of the Fire Company
was held, and officers for the en-
suing year were elected, as followe;
Messre. j. w. Seal, chief; g. A.
Rhodes, assistant chief; Charles
McAlpin, general foreman; G. l..
Wright, assistant foreman; John
C. Andes, secretary ard treasurer.
On account OF the small attend
snce at the meeting captains for
Reels Nos. and 2 were not elected.
Mr.. j. Ed. Deavtr was elected
captain of Reel No. and Mr..
r. d. Smith of the Hook and Lad
der. MIR. G. A. Baker was elected
janitor. 80.
The meeting was presided over
By the retiring chief, Mr.. A. b.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. is. -(spe-
cial Correspondence)- Senator Dolli-
yer found himself in the predicament
of being obliged to wear hat about
two sizes too small for him or going
bareheaded, day or two since. It
appears that Senator Warren gave a
luncheon to the minister to Japan,
Lloyd Griscom and his wife, Congress-
man Longworth and Miss Roosevelt,
and two or three other distinguished
persons. Senator Dolliver was with
some other friends at another table.
The Warren party left the table first
and passed out Of the senate cafe. In
the course Of ten minutes Senator Dol
liver departed and taking the only hat
resembling his still remaining on the
rack, put it on his head and discovered
that it was far too small. Investiga-
ton disclosed that it had on the In
side the initials 81. C. G." Minister
Griscom had walked off with the SEN
ator's hat and as the party did not
leave the building and having no oc-
casion to put the hat on, he did not
notice that it was too large for him.
After some hustling about an ex-
change was effected to the mutual
pleasure Of both men, Minister Girls
com is a spare man with rather a
