ST. MARY'S FAIR.
Held in Town Hall October eth
to fAth,

st. Mary's parish fair, which began
operations at the town hall Thursday
evening and continued, with the excep-
tion of Monday night, till Wednesday
evening of this week, has been fairly well
attended, though the financial results
are not apt to foot up as well as some
previous years. Music for each evening
was furnished by Buzzell's orchestra.
The entertainment for Thursday even
ing was something of novelty, not only
here but elsewhere. A minstrel overture
with all of the trimmings, end-men,
burnt cork and all, was we'll carried out
by the young people, the term "young {"
being literal, as the ages of the per-
formers ranged from eight years to
eighteen. This was pronounced sue
cess.
The visitors to the fair Friday evening
were entertained by an uproarious farce
called 1.-The Awkward Squad" introduc-
ing character sketches and certain kind
of burlesque music, the chief merit of
which consisted in its being plentiful and
penetrating. Local lights in the amateur
field undertook the various parts, and as
yet no legal action has been taken against
them.
Saturday night violin solos by Miss NJ.
Bresnahan of Proctor were excellently
rendered and very pleasing. The ladies
had also prepared tableaux for the even
ing.
Monday night these festivities were
suspended az a matter of convenience.
Tuesday evening. by special request, the
juvenile ministries was repeated, with
changes in the program. This show by
the young people was the best feature of
the fair. About seventy people were
represented in the full chorus.
Wednesday evening, the last of the
fair, the drawing of the articles canvassed
on was held, which occupied the time
till midnight

Of the Democratic party is that a man

of what he termed the unfair way in
which the Dingley tariff operates
against the poor man, he said that

Mr.. Harmon's Speech.

Democrats who withheld their sup
port or gave il to the Republican ps<ty
in 1896 now see that in the end they m
jured the cause they had at heart. They
believed their party had gone wrong on
the money question. So they helped elect
a man who they knew had gone the same
way, and was only brought round by the
necessity of the campaign They aided
the candidate whose chief distinction was
an almost fanatical devotion to the idea
OF taxing all men in order to heap up
profits for a few. the most harmful 70
the people of all heresies and. therefore
the most hateful to Democrats.
They saw the Republican leaders aft
er success won, as 1t is now conceded

Republican victory. throw aside the cur
