NOTES AND OBSERVATION'S ON MAT TKRS AROUND TOWN.

Var

If the Republicans do not become ov confident as a result of a handsome tory of last Monday, they can have their own way politically this year, only in the May election, but in the gen eral election in the fall as well. It is course the proper thing for the Democrats to explain their defeat by the stereotyped phrase, used so often to plain their victories, that this is an "off year. But there are elements at work their own ranks that would have caused their defeat even in an "on" year. Mon day was the first opportunity that been given to the factions to cut each other's throats, and the successful man ner in which this interesting operation •was performed meets with the hearty approval of Republicans. The leaders the faction whose candidates were repre sen ted on the township ticket feel very bitter, and one of them was heard to marks the night after the election that not a Democratic councilman would elected next May, the wager amounting to nothing more nor less than a treat, is certain that prospective candidates the Republican ticket feel very comfortable, whilo the Democratic aspirants are not so confident that everything is going their way. What the Republicans must do now, if they wish to achieve success, is to nominate good, honest, intelligent men for the different offices to be filled men whose character and reputation are abovo suspicion and who are capable fulfilling the duties of these offices Tlion, and then only, can they expect HUCCCHS.

Trustee Iteichert has made an honest .ipable trustoe, and as he should have been, was re-elected. He sailed around the rock which wrecked so many Indi ana trustees, the Pollard swindle, and in fact has made as efficient trustee as we have ever had. One good term deserves another. _______

Jehn Hager has concluded not to re produce "Swell Affair" lioro again, and the next time it is given it will bo in the last by a company of professionals. He is ongaged in revising it now, and pleas ing as it was when given it will have now features added that will improve it The managers, Messrs. Williams and llagor, are not yet decided whether it will bo givon in Now York or Boston and aro now in correspondence with prominent eastern managors as to which will be the better city for its introduc tion to the gonerul public. They will probably go east in a fow weeks to per feet tho necossary arrangements.

Tho public library is proving unequal to tho increasing demands made upon it,

fid

as the funds aro exhausted, and none /ill bo available until after July 1st, Suerintendont Wiloy has hit upon a novel scheme for adding books to the already tergo number owned by the city. It is that of setting apart a day to bo known .ts ••Public Library Day," on which all porsons feeling an interest in the library »'nd being so disposed, can contribute .ooks, magar.lnes, papers, etc. Next

Viday, the l«th inst., Is tho day fixed l) on, and tho library will no doubt have resoursos considerably enlarged on tat occasion. The library Is doing a work in this community, and every iO who can afford It should assist in at good work by contributing. If 'ery one who can afford it does eon tbuto the capacity of tho present quarts will bo tested after noxt Friday, ut as Is usual on such occasions those ho can best afford It, will do the least.

io telephone company Incorporated Andrew rimes, Jos. IT.

The death of Hon. Patrick Shannon at six o'clock yesterday morning removes from this community another familiar figure, another of the old citizens, who as boy and man, has grown with the town from village to city, and has ever taken a deep interest in its wellfare and in the prosperity of its people. Patrick Shannon was a good citizen, an honest man, a self-made man. He came to this city in 1846, a boy of sixteen. Ten years later having gained the confidence and esteem of his employer John H. Watson, the founder of Watson's bank and of the "Watson money," so noted in its day—he was admitted as a partner, and at the death of Mr. Watson in 1860, continued the banking business until the present time—never failing to meet a just and undisputed obligation. He was a member of the Catholic church, and a staunch supporter of the same. All connected with that church and its charitable institutions have lost a steadfast friend. He was an unyielding democrat, and for many years was a power in his party. Thirty years ago, the 21st of this month, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Tully who survives him. They had no. children born to them, but from time to time adopted three, who have been reared and educated as they would have done by their own. Mr. Shannon's death was caused by excessive obesity. At one time he weighed 305 pounds, but he had recently reduced it twenty pounds.

At ten o'clock to-inorrow morning the xuneral services will be held at St. Joseph's church, attended by solemn high mass.

Some time time ago when £ggs ware less plentiful than at present, and sold at twenty cents more per dozen, a man purchased some two dozen from a Main street grocer and they were sent to his house. After using four of the eggs, the superintendent of the household decided that, high priced as they were, the eggs were not in the heydey of youth they had evidently been preseryed by one of the different processes, and tho eggs re maining, twenty in number, were returned to the grocer, who sent word that he "would make the eggs good." Yes terday the man who purchased the eggs reminded the grocer of the egg trade and his promise, and the latter expressed willingness to fulfill his promise, and counted out twenty eggs, bright and fresh, certified to be of the vintage of the first week of April. The customer declined to accept the eggs and close the deal, unless he was allowed the difference between the present price of eggs and the price when the trade was originally made. The grocer intends to purchase sevoral works on political economy and figure out the problem sprung upon him by his thrifty customer.

I have long since realized that grocery stores are the most useful thing yet discovered, except religion and some folks say they would rather be a good grosery kcaper eny da than a poor preacher, which is just my sentiment to a dot. The old saying, that an "honest

glest

rocery keeper is the nowork uv art," is just as true as gospel. A man that will spend his davs a huntin up good and whol-

som things fer his feller critters to eat— things that will agree with them, and that will be a comfort to them, and that thev'll take a delight in—and that will furnish these things to customers cheap, is a man in wnose stomach the milk of human kindness is pure as cream. Such a man is E. R. Wright, of the White Front grocery, whose store today is filled with everything that can be had fur the table.
