Dinner of the Life Insurance Men at the

Last evening the life insurance men and their
invited guests, the ciergymen of Portland and
vicinity, partook of banquet, choice in all its
appointments, at the Falmouth Hotel. The
menu was, to crib word from the women when
they talk about their bonnets, "a dream"-rich
enough to result in a nightmare. While the
company sat at meat, the Imperial Mandolin
Club discoursed delicious music. At the head
of the table was President J. w. Fitzpatrick of
the Underwriters Association, at its foot clus-
tered the representatives, of the daily papers,
while actuaries and ministers were seated at
the sides. AS all wore the conventional white

THE CITY'S INTERESTS.

The new municipal government Of
Roanoke comes into existence to-day.
When Mayor Trout shall have made
whatever changes he deems to tho best
interests of the city and when Council
shall have fixed upon its appointees,
there will be then time to Judge and
forecast tho future of the two ad minis
trations. The opportunity lies plainly in
the hands of both Mayor Trout and the
Common Council to give Roanoke the
most efficient service it has ever had.
The TIMES truly believes that all will
honestly exert themselves in behalf OF
the city's best interests and any short
comings will be chargeable to some
other cause than honesty Of purpose.
THE TIMES will hold up the hands of
every deserving and painstaking official,
and will not hesitate to frankly and in the
most friendly manner criticize every
act, which, in its judgment, is not for
the best interests Of the city.
: A free and honest discussion of pub
lie questions will be found not without
value even to the officials who may find
themselves on tho opposite side OF the
discussion. TIE TIMES is as anxious to
see Roanoke advance as any public off,
cial can possibly be and will work with
one and all that the city's interests
may be advanced.

BRITISH POLITICS.

On Wednesday Queen Victoria pro.
rogued the British Parliament. and the
two great parties of the Kingdom are al
ready whetting their tonahawks for
zach others scalps. Mr.. Gladstone, the
leader of the Liberal party has his heart
set with the singleness of purpose which
has always characterized him, upon tho
contamination of home rule for Ireland,
and upon this issue he will stand or fall.
While true patriot and statesman
unrivaled in the tide of the present
times, his intention seems to be to treat
all other issues as subordinate and sec
ondary in Importance and to conserve
his strength and energies for last her
culean effort to strike the fetters from
ireland and secure to her the long-cov-
etcd boon of elf.government. In this
Mr.. Gladstone is but faithfully adhering
to the creed of the party OF which he is
the greatest exponent
The Liberal party, while pledged to
many labor reforms, will, should it
prove victorious in the coming elections,
devote its attention to Irish home rule
until it is safely secured. Upon this
field will the battle be fought and,
while no comparison with ours, the
campaign will be short, lasting only a
few weeks, the fight will be sharp and
to the finish and upon its results depend
the fate Of interests the most momen-
tOuS not only to Ireland hut To the
entire Lingdom.

s.The Blue Hens Chickens.o

Everybody knows that natives of Del
aware are called the blue Hens Chick
ems" but not one in a hundred can tell
you why they are 90 called. The epithet
is said to have had its origin in the fol-
lowing. One Of Delaware S most gallant
fighters in the War of the Revolution
was Captain Caldwell, who was notori
Gus for his fondness for cock-fghting.
He drilled his men admirably, they
being known throughout the army as
CaIdwell's game-cocks." This same
Caldwell held to the peculiar theory that
no cock was really game unless its mo-
Their was blue hen. AS the months
wore away CaldwelFs men became known
as the "Blue Hens Chickens title
which only increased their respect for the
old game-cock Captain. The nickname
became famous, and after the close of
the war was applied Unfortunately to
