CHORUS.
QCleveland, we will meet you.
QCleveland, we Will greet you,
In triumph we will seat you

A candidate to mend 1t Is the popular demand,
A Democratic ruler of the antitariff brand,
Seated In the White House chair.
Chorus.
We know the foe with heavy blows stands
ready organized,
We know that you, with courage true, have
never tempori2ed
With patriotic duty nor public trust despised.
While filling the White House chair.

Chorus
Another thing we ought to have, and for 1t

One family in Utica is peculiarly af
fected. They have hay fever in the
house six months of every year. When
the trees bud the wife comes down with
1t, and for two months she wheezes,
sneezes and coughs night and day. AT
the end of the two months she lends the
disease to her husband, who keeps II
until the grass Is ripe and haying be-
gins, at which time he transfers it to
his sister, who is also member of the
family. For two or three years the
family has been regularly visited by the
disease, and now the coming of summer
is hailed with anything but pleasure, for
1t brings misery with it.-Utica Obser-

At Arctic Springs Floyd Williams, a
twelve-year-old boy, climbed a tower
seventy-fve feet high and, reaching the
last turret, dived off into the river.
The descent was made in safety, and
the boy after coming to the surface
swan around for several minutes. 1t is
regarded as marvellous act. The tower
was built expressly for Professor Leuv-
enmark, the famous diver, who gave an
exhibition on Sunday by diving from
the top, and who was said to be con-
sidered the only man In the United
States able to dive safely from such a
distance.-Cor. Indianapolis journal.

Long Distance Telephone Lines

The long distance telephone system
has already attained large proportions
In this country. Beginning two or three
years ago, In an experimental way,
through New England and New York
state, lines were next run across New
Jersey to Philadelphia and thence on
ward to Baltimore and Washington.
Until recently the line between this city
and Buffalo was the longest in the world
used commercially, being about 450
miles and giving excellent service. Be-
tween Boston and Pittsburg, via New
York, communication is often had over
900 miles of circuit. A little while ago
a trial was made between Newark and
Boston, connecting through Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg, Erie, Buffalo and AL
bany, giving about 1000 miles.-New

The Soda Water Season Open.

Soda water fountains are blossoming
out all over the east side for the sum-
mer season. There seems to be more
soda water drank there than anywhere
else In the city. Prices are one, two
and three cents glass. The highest
price is for new flavor which seems to
be fashionable on the east side, though
1t has not yet apparently become known
elsewhere. 1t Is spelled in different
ways, but the usual spelling seems to be
Aramatariene rose. This is the cost
Hest flavor that there is. Another popu-
lar flavor, which sells for only two
cents, is rosberry, according to the soda
water spelling York Sun.

UNION, HARMONY, DEMOCRACY.

Differences of opinion and judg-

by no means unwholesome indica-

In view of the Importance of our

that there should be anywhere among
Democrats any lack of harmonious
and active effort to win in the cam.

I. o. O. F. Installation.

The largest social gathering Of the
season was the occasion of the public in
stallation of officers of Wa-Keeney Lodge
No. BOA, 1. o. o. F., on last w ednesday
evening.
It is not claimed that the installation
exercises, in themselves, are especially
interesting to the general public, but it is
a portion of the work that may be reveal
ed, and the occasion was taken advan-
tage of by the lodge to invite their fami-
lies and friends to meet with them in a
social way.
The installation exercises were supple
mented by supper which We think all
enjoyed and by good music by the male
quartette. Rev. G. w. Rich gave beau
t1ful exposition of Odd Fellowship, and
Mrs. W. G. Marshall read paper which
we thought so good that we begged
the privilege of publishing it. All in all,
it was a pleasant gathering.
