About twenty couples We're present. Ev-
cry one, without reserve, enjoyed them
selves freely in social dancing, until ii
O'Clock, when supper was announced,
and each lady escorted her fellow to the
Band hall, and on entering, the eyes of
all were daZZled on behOlding magni-
ticent table spread with everything from
roast beef to California grapes. After
all had dined sumptuOusly the girls
again escorted their fellows to the ball
room, where dancing was kept up until
about 2 Al. NJ. When the party dispers-
ed the ladies escorted the gentlemen to
their homes. Take it all in all it was
one or the finest affairs that our town
has had for long time.

A COMMON complaint in this region is
against the climate. The weather of
this latitude is thought by many to be
more changeable than it is further North
or further South. In the North, it is
said, the winters are very cold, but the
cold is dry and steady, and does not
cause the diScomforts suffered here. Con-
cerning this subject there is much error.
Weather changes in the North or South
are just as sudden and frequent and their
ranges are as great as with u.s. But here
changes from freezing to thawing and
rice cersG are probably more frequent
than in any other latitude, causing slop-
py walking one day, icy paths the next,
or two or three thawing and freezing
changes in single day. In the South a
fall in temperature of twenty degrees, OF
in the North rise of twenty degrees, is
not so likely to cause a freeze or thaw as
here. But people in other latitudes suf-
fer as much from these changes and COM
plain as dolefully about rheumatic twing-
es and nervous disturbances as the in
habitants of this part of the country

Mr.. GAUMER, one of the Representa-
tives of Muskingum county, has intro
ducad bill in the House providing for
the election of an additional Common
Pleas Judge in this Judicial District
The bill should not become law. We
now have five Judges to hold the courts
of the District-twO in the Jefferson
Harrison -Tuscarawas subdivision, two
in the Muskingum- Morgan-No sub
division, and one in the Belmont-Monroe
subdivision. The latter has very much
more work to do than has any one of his
associates; yet the work was easily and
satisfactorily done by Judge Kelly, and
we have heard of no complaint of delay
since Judge briggs went upon the bench,
and he looks like he is enjoying reason
ably good health. The Common Pleas
is in session less than half the time.
Create no new offices; rather abolish
some we already have, and dorm 1Cith
td9es!

A BILL has been introduced into the
Ohio House of Representatives inereas-
ing the pay of members from 5000 to
$1,000 per year. If the bill is amended
so as to read $1,000 per term, there will
be no objection. Then, possibly, the pub
lie might have some show of relief from
annual sessions.
The people are willing State officers
shall be paid fairly. The niggardly sal
aries paid our Supreme Court are dis
graceful in the extreme. On the other
hand, the salary paid the Governor
$4,000, the same as paid the Supreme
Judges of the United States is nearly
or quite twice what it ought to be.

CAMBRIDGE.
From the Times

Prom the Times.
JAMES FITToN, plumber of BeIlaire
was here last week piping the natural
gas into the court house.
A. r. MURRAY, Cashier of the Old
National Bank, fell when on his way to
dinner, Wednesday, and broke his left
wrist.
CAMBRIDGE is already booming. The
population has SO increased within the
last year that there are not nearly
enough comfortable houses to accommo-
date it, and several enterprising parties
are making arrangements to supply the
demand for good dwelling houses at a
reasonable rental. Another and perhaps
the strongest evidence that the town is
regarded boomer is the fact that out
side capitalists are offering to come and
invest their money. The people of Cam
bridge can not afford to remain asleep
to their great opportunity. The tide is
flowing toward us now.
TIE Cambridge light and fuel compa-
ny has piped the gas from its wells to
town and it was put under the furnace
in the court house on Friday last, and
the building is now admirably heated by
natural gas. The gas is sufficient to
keep about eight pounds of steam on
by the use of less than half the flow; and
at the same time a stand d-pipe is kept
burning to the rear of the jail, and the
blaze was not perceptibly diminished
after the introduction of the gas under
the court house furnace.
The residence of Rev. Dr. w. H. Nc
Farland has also been piped and natural
gas introduced, with admirable results
Several other residences will be piped
this week and the gas from the wells
already sunk will be utilized.

DEATH OF GRANDMA GARFIELD

DEATH OF GRANDMA GARFIELD.
Eliza Ballou Garfield, the mother of the
late President James \. Garfield, died at )
o'clock Saturday morning, at her home in
Mentor, O. Her age was eighty-six years,
and she has been gradually failing since
early in November.
Mrs Garfield was born September 25.
1902, at the foot of Mount MOnadnOck,
New Hampshire, and married Abram
Garfield, of Watertown, Mass, in 1927,
coming to Orange, Cuyahoga county, o.,
in 1881, when her eldest child, Thomas
Garfield, now of Grand Rapids, Michigan,
was six years of age. She was woman
of strong sense and spirit, and had sin
gular capacity for managing and educa-
ting children. Abram Garfield died when
Tom, the eldest boy, was ten years old,
leaving his widow with four children and
a cabin in the woods. Her care and en-
ergy produced one of Americas most dis
tinguished public men, and carried the
family in respectable poverty to the point
where it could make its own way. James
\. Garfield was her pride and joy, and she
has aged very rapidly from the day that
Giteaus bullet struck him down. Not
until December last, however, was she
compelled to take to her bed.

TURNING TO THE LEFT.

Chicago Tribune.
A man who has travelled bit and sees
what is going on around him observes
that in some Southern cities, notably New
Orleans, a Chicago man is very likely to
bump into people when he is walking on
the streets. The reason is that down there
it is the custom for everybody to turn to
the left instead of to the right, as the rule
is everywhere else when two persons meet
On some of the lines, at least, the horse
cars run up on the left track and down on
the right. Drivers of vehicles get into the
way of steering to the left also. ItstrikeS
a Chicago man as being rather odd.

GEN. JOHN C. FREMONT, who has gone
out to California to grow up with the
country, recently celebrated his seventy
fifth birthday. Though his hair and
beard are as white as snow, he is as bright

try people so many years ago, is, at the

well preserved. She does not look to be
much over fifty.
