Your committee appointed to prepare a
sketch of the life and death of Col. -
Quincy, wish to submit the following:
Col. Quincy was born in Laurinburg
county, Va, on the 18th day of March,
1910, and departed this life on the 18th
day of May, 1889. In early life he moved
to the State of North Carolina and was
married to Miss Mary Flemming, of War
rem county, where he lived the remainder
of his life and raised a family of intelli-
gent children, three sons and OF e daughter,
all of whom now survive him. The
daughter is the very much esteemed and
affectionate wife of G. W. Cole, ESQ, of
Warren county.
Col. Quincy held positions of trust and
honor in his county, and was highly
esteemed for his integrity and manly
bearing. For a number of years he was
a member of the Methodist Church, and
when called to confront the enemy (death)
he had no fears. Therefore
ResoEUed, That while in the death of
Col Quincy this Alliance, No. 479, loses
a most faithful, jealous and esteemed
to believe that our loss is his eternal gain.
RESOLVED, That a copy of the above be
forwarded to The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
for publication, and to the bereaved fam
lily, with an assurance that they have
u warmest sympathy, and that the
same be entered upon the record of this
Alliance. L. P. CAMERON,

PRESIDENT HARRISON'S VISIT To
PORT TOWNSEND IN 1885.

On looking over the file of the AR
GUS we find under date of Friday,
August q, 1856, the following which
will be read with special interest at
the present time; and, though the
facts mentioned are WELL known and
remembered by all who resided here
four years ago, they will be new to
a majority of our readers for whose
benefit we reprint the article entire.
Aug q, '85, Senator Harrison OF
Indiana with Mrs. Harrison arrived
yesterday from Victoria as the guests
of Hon. A. w. Bash, ex-collector of
customs. They were met on the
wharf by Hon. r. G. Hill, mayor OF
the city, q. Landes, Judge Jos. A.
Kuhn and other gentlemen, and after
an introduction were taken by Mr..
Bash for q short drive around the
city, returning to the residence of
Mr. Bash where select party of in
vited guests partook of an excellent
dinner served in the most exquisite
style, under the admirable directions
of the accomplished hostess, Mrs. Bash.
Among the invited guests were: ID.
f. Beecher, collector of customs, and
wife. r. G. Hill, and wife, 81. Landes
and wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Bash,
Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Bartlett, Jos. A.
Kuhn, James G. Swan, and others.
Senator Harrison expressed himself
as much pleased with Port Townsend
but il was regretted by all that the
smoke and haze prevented an extend
ed view of the magnificent scenery
for which this town is greatly ceie-
brated. Both Senator and Mrs. Har-
rison expressed their intention of res
turning next season if possible and
making a tour to Alaska"
The Harrison party consisted of
the Senator and wife, j. G, Flint,
wife and son, and Miss Z. A Plank

AnzRIcAN TOURISTS ABROAD

The Seattle p. 1. Of Friday speaks
sditorially OF the custom of tipping
walters in hotels and restaurants and
says that the custom is un-American.
The practice may not have had its
origin in America but there is no
question but what the tips given by
Americans to hotel walters and por.
tsrs will aggregate quite as much as
in Great Britain when one takes into
consideration the difference in the
population. In England enc is in
variably informed that it Is ali the
fault Of the American tourists and we
are inclined to agree with them. In
this country it is seldom that man
tips less than quarter, he is accus
toned to pay that much and the
waiter expects it; in London or in
the provinces q waiter will touch his
forsleek when handed q three-penny
piece, in very many places q penny
is sll that is ever expected. But an
American tourist will delve deep in
his pockets and pull up a shilling
or a form. The attention he re-
ceivss, does to q certain extent de-
pend upon how large tip the wait
sr expects to get out of the guest.
There are cheap restaurants in Lon-
don, very many in the Strand, where
the walters receive NO pay for their
ssviees, but where the ''penny tips"
are sufficient to keep their large fam
ily comfortably. In many of this
class of restaurants The walters even
pay for the privileges; nearly every
English guest will hand the servant
a penny and in some cases two pence.
There was a time when the walters
were satisfied with this, but during
the last decade, the influx of Amer
lean tourists has so la, gely increased,
and the restaurants are more or less
patronized by sisht-seers, that the

is fashionable that is very plain.
Plain solid colors. plain straight
drape-ies and even plain tournures
and absolutely no bustles. OF course
this plain craze will please the gen.
tlemen, and to reward us they wear
larger and brighter neckties, lower
cut vests, wider pantaloons and more
jewelry; but we believe in the law
of average and we mean to give the
boys a chance. But if we appear
on the street in a Quakerish garb we
make up the brightness when we
come to dinner and evening dress.
For this we 90 back to any period
we like. We dress our hair in the
style of rifty years ago. Our bodice
is of the seventeenth century cut, orr
draperies hung either in modern or
Renaissance style, while our slippers
are of modern invention, with a
watch set uniquely in the toe of each,
this being the latest "fad" of a
wealthy French lady.
We give our dinners, too, in rooms
as medieval and as modern as are
our dresses. Our floors are as bare
and polished as our grandmothers
could have desired. Our decorations
are as ancient as we can obtain, we
search Europe for old paintings, we
go Tor send) to China and Japan for
brio brac. Our table linen is mod
ern in pattern and design with the
latest style in monogram in one
corner. Our dishes, whether old or
new in design or pattern, we gather
from every desirable and undesirable
place that We can enter; upon these
we serve new entrees and in them
old wines. Ou1 dinners are served
by representatives of a supposable
antedeluvian age or by the last i'm
ported French waiter We dine at
the hour when our grandfathers
took their tea, and we too often go
to bed when our grandfathers rose
in the morning.

to wait on an Englishman. They
have caught on to the fact that the
Americans are not the least close
listed, and that their chances for
making bob" are better with one
American than in a dozen of their
own rountrymen. We know of hotel
IN Switzerland where the hall porter
pays $1,000 a year for his position
and 1t Is estimated that his income is
about that much more. There is one
thing we have noticed in four -fifths
of the Americans we have met abroad.
On their arrival in Liverpool they
usually SO direct to the Lime street
station and from there to London.
The moment the guard asks the
tourist concerning his luggage the
verdent American will hand out a
half-crown piece, believing that for
nothing less than that sum could he
have his trunks arrive with him at
his destination; he is not vet accus-
toned to the seeming careless way OF
handling trunks; bat by the time he
has been to London and spent few
weeks going about, he puts his hand
IL the pocket where the pennies and
three penny pieces are kept and finds
that upon tipping to the extent of
either one OF those pieces he will re-
ssive very good attention. It is
true that the habit is of foreign ex-
traction, but when looked upon as a
disease 1t is also true that it has been
aggravated through contact with
Americans. In the Grand Hotel,
Manchester, when q guest wants to
pay his bill, the lady clerk will touch
an electric button and IN an instant
the head waiter is at your side, and
instead of the bill being handed to
you its handed to the waiter who in
turn hands it to you and you pay HIM
the money. He Of course expects to be
tipped, but for what we were never
able to learn. We used to see the fell
low in the dining room but he never
speaks to the guests or lends his aid
in any way to anything that would
tend to make him comfortable. The
man who has waited on you at table
in this hotel expects fee. The maid
who brings your shaving water to
your door in the morning has a claim
against you, and tha head porter at
the door to whom your address to
forward your letters is given comes in
for his sharsf, We were never able to
find out during number of years
residence in England, how it happen-
ed that every employe from ''but-
tons" to bar maid knew to the very
moment when one expected to leave
the house, and as one stands at the
door waiting for cab, we compare
the picture to young man leaving
home for a long journey and the pee
pie surrounding him, his sisters
brothers and all the family connec-
tons They follow one to the door
as though each ono was particularly
anxious for the comfort and safety of
the parting guest. One has no idea
how many servants have been be-
slowing their kind attentions upon
him until he is leaving the house.

CAPT. JOHN SLATER,
Port Admiral; this is not an elective
office, but is the unaninous appoint

ties of Port Admiral are honorary,
not compulsory. To him are re-
ferred all questions of nautical ma
ture, and strangers coming here
obtain much useful information from
his explanations and courteous an
swers to the hundreds of questions
asked him daily. Capt. Slater fills
the Office with dignity. His business
is >all making, and he is a master
workman at that trade.
We think our county officials, one
