Harriman and another "man of affairs’ which was followed by the raising of EMM* <» Waß street. If Parker spent his own money ft was certainly his business. If he had made a campaign on money furnished by the Wail stret capitalists, it would have been everybody's business. THE COST OF ECONOMY.

A new set of dishes was purchased recently and used Wednesday evening at the coon and oyster supper. The | coon upon which they feasted Wednesday evening was caught in a trap only about the distance of a square from the club room.
