One of the most pleasant society
events of the season occurred on Thurs
day evening last, at the Truck House,
when the young ladies gave a social In
honor OF Mr.. Samuel Schenck, OF New
York, who at the present time is spend
ing his vacation at his fathers country
residence in Delaware township. The
parlor of the Fleet Wing company had
been changed into veritable miniature
ball room by the artistic display of hags
and bunting and decorations of flowers.
No matter which way ones eyes were
turned, they were welcome, seemed to
stare one in the face and a more brilliant
affair has seldom, il ever, been held in our
city AT eleven o'clock there was ces-
sation of music and dance and grand
march formed for Stockton's ice cream
parlers, where the wasted energies from
dancing were renewed by the cooling eff
fects pre- duced by indulging in Stockton's
celebrated flavors. The music for the So
ciable was furnished by Arthur Fl. Clark,
piano, and T. Winkler. violin, and was
certainly charming. Persons must have
no music 10 their sole If they could not
dance after such enhancing strains.
Mr.. Clark, who now enjoys bis manhood
and is an expert accompanist, received
his first instructions, at the age Of nine,
upon the piano upon which he played
last Thursday evening, belonging then as
now to the Fleet Wing Co. Like good
wine the piano and the pianist have i'm
proved by age.
The following ladies and gentlemen were
present during the evening, the majority
being in full dress

Senator CoclsreIl's Memory.

Senator Cockrell of Missouri especial
" brides himself upon never forgetting
a name or face, and SO marked is this
trait that his friends say he can visit
the house Of any of his constituents aft
er an unlimited absence and speak to
each member Of the family by name.
But no man is infallible, and this Sem
ator Cockrell discovered ON accosting
one Of his constituents while at home
recently, whose name he tried by every
means possible to remember, but unsuc-
oessfully. Finally he hit upon what he
considered solution Of the difficulty,
and under the guise Of taking the con-
stituent's name down for the purpose OF
sending him some documents he asked
him to spell it. He was almost staggered
when he received the reply, Jones. ;"
"Oh, /" said the senator, II mean your
first name"
Then again came another stagger when
the constituent replied, "W-i-l-l-i-a-m. !"
The senator is not just at the present
time Dragging about his wonderful

When in the Twentieth Century the
political and financial historian Of the
United States sets about the task of pre-
pairing bis monumental work upon Gamer
lean Tariff Legislation in the Nineteenth
Century, Its Principles, Methods, 0per-
alton aud Results, he will find ii no easy
task to compress into one goodsized vol
ume the amazing record Of the legislative
contest OF 1894 that ended 10 the enact
ment of the Wilson. German measure.
These long months of struggle have been
full OF incidents of an intensely dramatic
nature. The outcome is apologized for,
but it meets with no approval. The
Democratic party was placed 10 power on
a platform which declared protection to
be fraudulent and unconstitutional, and
which promised revenue tariff. It has
proceeded to enact tariff as truly along
protective and discriminating lines as any
which the Republican party ever placed
upon the statute books. But its princi'
pal achievement has been the creation oil
an income tax system, about which there
has not been so much as favorable hinl
in any Democratic platform. Coming into
power with awful anaihemas against the
trusts and monopolistic corporations
which the Republican patty was accused
Of fostering by its tariff policy, this Dem
ocratic Congress has coufessedly played
into the hands Of these very combination
at nearly all the points of crucial test.

On Saturday morning last, just after
a blast at McGovern's quarry, below our

commotion and haslened upon the scene,
which he reached in timeto shoot the largest
snake 10 the lot, which had gotten in be-

on Monday evening. 1t was very pleas

The singing by Mr.. j. A. Williams and
also by the Gassoway Brothers Quartette
was exceedingly fine. The failure to Sc
cure piano for the hall was a great
source of regret as Prof. Crippen could
not show off his ability as pianoist on a

Using would have added to the size of the
audience.

rolls around, to enjoy the congratulations

Score-l8 to 8.

The most exciting game Of ball by far
of the season was witnessed on the As
ISOLATION grounds on Monday, the Sd inst.
It being Labor Day and National holt
day, people were free to seek amusements
TO their liking aud fully three thousand
witnessed the game and were well paid
for their trouble. The Pennington team,
our old rivals, were cur opponents and
the game was contested to the last inning
and no stone left unturned,to gain a point.
To defeat nine men and an umpire is
something for the home team to feel
proud of.
Carr aud Hanley were in the points for
the visitors, and Carey and Rafferty, for
the home team, but after the first inning
Trusty was substituted for Rafferty, and
did excellent work. To hold such
speedy pitcher as Carey is quite an I'M
dertaking, but Joby was there everytime.
In the first the visitors made six runs
and it made some Of our boys quite I'M
easy, fearing a defeat, but fighting an up
hill game our brave lads are used to and
started in and pulled through, piling run
after run until fourteen were placed 10
our good and the game won. Score, IA

The lucky seventh was reached and
here the visitors were overtaken and our
lads never headed after that, and right
here one of umpire Reimer's most rank
decisions was rendered aud so disguised
