Norrisville Affairs.
Reported for The Ggis.

Reported 1Or Inc LCglS.
MAY 27.-The singing school at this place
closed its session on Friday night by fgiving an
entertainment and pic mic, the proceeds of
which are to be donated to the church. 1t was
designed to have been held in the open air, but
soon after assembling the rain commenced fall
ing and the crowd was forced to seek shelter.
After an admirable rendition OF several sections,
the chief feature being solo by Miss Iva Bar
tenschlager, entitled "Oh! tits the Old, Old
Story" which was well sung, the chorus being
by the entire class, the congregation adjourned
to the residence of Mr.. Curtis IL. Sitter, which
was kindly loaned for the purpose, where the
other exercises were conducted.
The chief attraction of the evening the
auction sale. A goodly number of the ladies had
each provided dainty lunch, which was pack
ed in neat box. In the top of each package
the name of the donor was written, and the
boxes being covered 80 as to present o uniform
appearance, they were put up for sale to the
highest bidder The whole affair reminded your
correspondent of the old game of buying "pig
in a poke" While the lunches were unknown,
the providers were not, as many of the ladies
have established regulations as skilful in the
culinary line. The bidding for some which
were supposed to be recognized, was spirited
and caused considerable amusement. The
highest price was realized by well-known
young married lady of Norrisville, and was we'll
worth the cost of it. Notwithstanding the
purchaser was an sold BACH" who expressed
some CONSERVATION when he found that he had
purchased the privilege of eating with another
mans wife, The scene was peculiar one. AS
far as yours truly could see there was not q
single case where the parties were mated as
Cupid would have arranged matters, but all
went "merry as a marriage bell," and the
affair was a complete success.
Quite an exciting fox hunt occurred near Nor
risvilie on Sunday, which was participated in by
at least score of men. women and children
The foxes were three in number and were freed
in hole. After enough of manual exercises
to have plowed a three acre field, the juvenile
specimens were dug out and the old one just
missed being hit byn couple Of bullets. This

THELATE THOMAS KEMP,

AS sweetly and peacefully as sinks the rays of

the glories of another world so passed from our
midst the presence of this dear friend. In the full
ness of years and of usefulness he has been gath
cred to that bourne from whence 10 traveller re-
turns. For many months it had been painfully ap-
parent to loved ones and friends that the rail tegu
ment of earthly existence fast losing its hold
but with the dissolution of the outward and pysi-
cal. the hidden gem of the pure life within seemed
to shine forth i'll greater richness and SplendOr
and ERE the silver cord were loosed, he seemed
already to have entered the realms of the more
glorious life beyond For nearly half century the
name of Thomas Kemp has been known and hon
0red in the Wilma community. During his entire
life of more than four score years he an hon

mind" his heart and hand were ever open to
Gods people of whatever name. A loving father
a sympathiZing friend, kind neghbor and above
all a true Christian has passed from labor to re-
ward and how sadly we miss him.
The blessed influence of such life has been felt
far beyond the radius of that home where the
sweet sunshine of his presence was most Sensibly
realized. There, loving hands miniStered tender
them indeed a labor of love, and how comforting
to remember his tender appreciation of these
kindly ministratiOnS and the sweet serenity and
peace that marked his declining years. Remember,

union on that blSSful shore where signing and

st Nicholas for June.

st. Nicholas for June has an exciting and in
structive story, "With Stick and Thread" by
Clarke Davis, relating a boy-tisherman' g
triumph in capturing "red drum" with rod and
reel. No angler can read it without desire
to start at once for the fishing-grounds. 1t is
illustrated by NJ. j. Burns. Another striking
story is "a Divided Duty" by NJ. A. Cassidy,
telling of a little boy who had one brother in
the Federal and one in the Confederate army.
Being unwilling to decide against either, be
compromises by having parti-colored suit,
one side gray and one side blue.
The number is rich in continued articles :
"Crowded Out o. Crofeld" for the boys Lady
Jane" and "Marjorie and her Papa for older
and younger girls; "Bat, Ball and Diamond"
the valuable baseball series, by Walter Camp !;
"Six Years in the Wilds of Central Africa" by
SANKEY'S officer, E. j. Glaye, and Through the
Back Ages" the geological papers by Teresa
c. Crofton.
Besides all these, nearly every one of which is
strongly illustrated, there are the departments,
and other features of interest.

Specimen Tariff Rates.
Baltimore Sun.

On blankets, flannels and hats the Mckinley
bill increases the tariff tax from SO per cent. to
ITO per cent That is to say, a blanket costing
through the custom house, but under the Nc
Kinley bill it will cost 50. 10. This would not
be 10 bad if the prevention of foreign COM
petition did not enable the American manufac
turers to put his 81 blanket up to $40. That
what he will do. So of other things. The in
crease OF duty marks the proposed increase of
price of the homemade article. Competition
here will ultimately, it is said, bring the tariff
made price down. Perhaps it might after ten
years, but for the trusts and combines" formed
to prevent competition and advance prices.
How high are prices TO go? To the top of the
tariff wall. Blankets of the 81 grade will be put
higher the foreign blanket would come over the
its own wall. On women's dress goods the Nc
Knley bill raises the tariff rate to lob per cent
on worsted knit goods to 147 per cent, on yarns
to 100 per cent, on tinplate to "a per cent, on
common window glass to 135 per cent, on pen
knives to 70 per cent on cotton ties to 10 per
cent, on shawls TO 90 per cent, and on pearl
buttons the increase is from 103 to 1858 per cent.
the sort used by the poor being advanced 1853 per
cent. For example, cheap buttons costing abroad
IA cents per gross are advanced to Sc cents per
gros;s, while the kind costing So cents per gross
is advanced to $1.30 per gross. Cheap hats are
to pay duty of no per cent, or more than
double. Carpets are advanced to 60 per cent.

The Century for June.

The June Century opens with London Poly
technics and Peoples Palaces" by Albert Shaw.
John LaFarge in his "Artist's Letters from ia
pan," describes very beautiful temple. Both
these articles are admirably illustrated.
This being the first summer number of The
Century, Walter Camps illustrated paper on
"Track Athletics in America" is particularly
timely.
Perhaps the most striking feature of this
number is the beginning of another anonymous
novel called 1.-THE Anglomaniacs." The scene
is laid in New York, and the story is evidently
written by one who knows well the situation.
Joseph Jefferson's Autobiography is contn-
ued and many other excellent articles make up
q number of great interest and beauty.
