ed in pleasant groups throughout the grove for
the purpose OF eating their dinners
Dinner being disposed of, few remarks were
made BY Mr.. Buffum Of Haowell and others, sf-
ter which the meeting was called to order by
President Marrow. &C, Frost Of Auburn was
first called TO the stand. Mr.. Frost is well
known and renowned wor&er in the temperance
cause. For several years be has been laboring in
New York for the promotion of the temperance
cause, and as is well known he has done q great
work there. After an eloquent and mastery
speech of an hours duration, he was followed by
Mrs. Hunt, with a speech lasting upwards Of an
hour. She speaks very forcibly, and her words
have a deep meaning which cannot help but to
impress an audience that one is speaking who has
great sympathy for down-trodden humanity.
A few short and effective speeches having been
made 10y Mr.. Bert Torsey OF Winthrop and several
other g ntlemen the afternoon session was finally
brought to close with few appropriate and i'm

Great praise Is due to the choir for the skill and

Stanley Is n Welshman by birth,
having entered upon his travel through
life in Denbigh, Wales, in 1910. His
original name was John KoWIands.
He was born Of poor but probably
honest parents, and at the early ago of
three years found himself an inmate of
the poor house OF st. Asaph, remaining
there until he was thirteen. or this
period ot his life he spoke very freely
at dinner which he gave to the chill
dren Of the st. Asaph poor house in
1856, in which he said that whatever
success he had attained, or would at
tain In the future, he owed to the edu-
cation and training he had received at
st. Asaph's. After leaving st. Asaph's
he shipped at Liverpool as a cabin boy
on vessel bound to New Orleans.
Here he found employment with a
merchant named Stanley, who subse-
,quentiy adopted him aud gave him his
name. His benefactor died intestate,
aud young Stanley, at the outbreak OF
the war, enlisted in the Confederate
army, was taken prisoner, volunteered
in the United States navy, and became

All the main facts. You have not

chief points in the bill you have insist
ed that it demands what, notoriously,
it does not demand. You have held
the bill up to obloquy as asking a gov
ernment subsidy in the shape of an
endorsement of the principal of the
bonds, as in the case Of the Union Pa
ciffic railroad, which the Commercial
did not at the time oppose. No such
subsidy is asked. We present in brief
the main points in the Texas Pacific
bill. d .,
1. The trunk or main line extends
from Forth Worth to San Diego, ,lS7
miles. The bonds on this line at $35, 900
per:lnile, will aggregate $41 ,545, 900. On
these bonds the Government is asked
to guarantee payment of > per cent, in

line comprise ,O1s miles. The govern
ment is asked to guarantee 5 per cent.

share of government aid no more
should be extended; (3) that the net
earnings of the road will not produce

the Denison Herald tells the follow
Ing story rs happening in the lower
edge Of Cook county:
On the night of October 25, u double
wedding took place In tho same house,
and the wedding festivities were cele.
brated in old-fashioned style, and in
chat joyful way naturally prompted by
the blissful event that made II double
couple happy. About midnight the
bridegrooms, who hau been indulging
pretty freely in s'tangle-foOt,' retired
to rest. BY some strange mishap each
man made his way to the wrong room,
and actually occupied bridal couch to
which ne had no claim. Strange ns II
may appear, the mistake was not dis-
covered until daylight. A general
hubub was the result, and ut last ac-
counts the brides were disconsoiatc.
All sorts Of schemes of reparation were
proposed, but 1t appears as yet no tam
gible plan for undOinx the double mis-
take has been arrived at. Whisky was
what did 1t, and now the Herald gives
the temperance orators a good and true
story to tell the people, the moral OF
which is--don't get drunk on your
wedding night, or you may get into
the wrong bed. This is not the first
instance on record by any means, Il
similar occurrence having taken place
In high life in Philadelphia several
