In this day of commercial- ; ism and struggle for pecuniary gain < a man is rarely found who will sac- i Hike his time and talent as has Mr. < Dailey, without thought of receiving 1 a money remuneration, and when one i such ddee come into our midst Yank- 1 ton stands ready to give him the ,

recognit.yp. which is his due. For (toy* and nights, <or months of days and nights, every year this efficient chorus director has given of himself to keep alive the appreciation of the highest and best in the musical life of the city, and to bring here some of the world’s best artists; and at no time has there been any idea of moneymaking. The eighty men and women who have beemainging In the Choral Union are not the only ones who have profited, .the benefit goes out to the whole city, and it is from the city as well as the members of the Union that this appreciation is due.” Professor Dailey is « brothef of Mrs. John Falk of this city, and has a host of other relatives and friends here, where he was born and reared and . spent his early days, who are pleased to bear of bte success. • ' — -r Mrs. Sarah .mße* Bushnell, widow of the late CoUine Bushnell, for more than sixty years > incident of this vicinity, suffered ap frttack of apoplexy early Wednesday And within a few hours breathed her last, passing away at 8:40 o’clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Dwight Brown, living four miles east of this city, near Un- [ ion Chapel.
