The banquet rendered the delegates
to the State Editorial association by the
city of Minneapolis at the West hotel
last night, under the auspices of the
Press club,was one of the most success

spacious and brillantly-lighted dining
room OF the West presented a scene of
animation and beauty seldom seen even
in this famous hostelry, noted for Its
brilliant functions. The hour of the
banquet was set for 6 O'Clock, but owing
to the late hour at which the afternoon

TIE BALL SET ROLLING.

The meeting was called to order by j.
A. Johnson, president of the associa-
ton, who briefly and in complimentary
vein introduced William Henry Eustis,
one of the mayors of Minneapolis, who,
in his own happy and original style. at
once made everybody welcome and at
home IN their temporary surroundings.
Mr.. Eustis paid a handsome compli-
ment to the Intelligence of the country
press. The country editor, he said, was
more honest and more Independent than
the city editor. Tue press was the
power of the age. and the country
press was the exponent of all that was
highest and best in Journalism. Just
as the springs and tributaries went to
make up the great river. so the country
paper was the fountain head of public

referred the great functions and power

that of politics. The press, he
said, is the statesman's opportunity.

Absence of Mind.

The celebrated Leasing was remarkable
for frequent absence of mind. Having
missed money at different times without
being able to discover who took it, he do
termined to put the honesty of his servan,
to the test and left handful of gold Oh
the table.
''Of course you counted it" said one OF
his friends.
Counted it?" said Leasing, somewhat
embarrassed. "No, forgot that"
At a public sale there was book which
leasing was very DESTROYS of possessing
He gave three of his friends at different
times commission to buy it at any price
They accordingly bid against each Other

AUGUSTA LOCALS.
Sgd Documents.

A JOURNAL reporters attention was re-
Gently called to some cid papers. 1t will
be difficult for one not seeing them to fully
appreciate the peculiarly of these ancient
treasures. Imagine a large number Of
little strips of plain paper with faded ink
and crinkled edges.
The collection consisted of .old receipts
curiously made out and ranging in amount
from one cent to s.. This receipt for one
cent was made out in the year 1905 and a
piece of ordinary writing paper was used
In fact among the entire collection there
was not blank form of receipt such as
is used today.
This antique accumulation of old papers
contained bills for rum made out at the be-
ginning of the present century. One bill
for rum contained upon its face receipt
of q certain amount of butter in payment
for sire water" Certainly not beneficial
exchange for the man who received the
fluid.
Among the collection was long letter
from mother to her daughter dated in the
year 1871 with the edges neatly folded to-
gether and bearing resemblance of having
been sealed before being sent.
There was an old note which was made
out in 1918 with interest at per cent
which is still in force. This paper has
been running for over so years with inter-
est at six per cent.
There were, due bills, summons, promi,-
sary notes, deeds, receipts, orders and
many other forms of documents.
One quite amusing paper read: "This
day received of--one saddle in full for
all the shingles and timber that was cut last
winter" LIZ
One note was given in favor of two towns
and amounted to 50.
The town now known as Jefferson was
then called Ballston. It was at this place
that the grea'er amount of the business was
done to which these papers refer. Several
rum bills appeared among the lot.
There was an agreement made out for
fitting up vessel for sea. the date of this
paper was in 1888. Another very interest
ing document, the like of which is probably
very rare, in this day and generation was

4 PARTISAN POLICE TRICK.
New Proninsnt vicomtesss Recovered
Package OF Love Letters.

Aov . Promlnsnt Vicomtesse keeovesee
Package Of Love Letters.
A well known Partisan lady of unexcep-
tional social eminence was anxious to re
cover some letters from u popular clubman,
whom she had first loved and then hated.
She addressed herself to the project Of po-
lice at Paris and induced that functionary
to help her to recover the letters.
There is in France a law, more hOnored
in the breach than its observance, which or
dams that no one shall wear in his button
hole or lapel of his coat the rosette or rib
bon of any foreign order without previous
IL having obtained permission of the grand
chancellerie of the Legion of Honor. No
body except members of the French diplc-
matte corps and of the army and navy ever
goes to the trouble of getting the permits
sion, and have never known anybody to
be sentenced to imprisonment or even fined
for the infraction of this statute, ii statute
it can be called.
One afternoon the clubman in question
was visiting the annual exhibition of pic
lures at the Cercle de fUnion Artistique,
when suddenly, while in the act OF leaving
the club, he was arrested by two policemen
in civilian dress, hustled into cab and
driven off to the depot of the prefecture OF
police.
There he was kept for "a hours in custody,
and was only released late on the following
day, with a severe admonition on the part OF
one of the commissaries Of police for wearing
in his buttonhole the light blue and white
rosette of the order of Charles III of Spain
without having obtained the permission &c
do so from the chancelleric of the Legion Of
Honor.
On returning home he found that during
his absence Il commissary Of police and sew
cral assistants had visited his apartments
and carefully ransacked his papers-madt
q peruuisition. as it is called in official
phraseolo.y-- and had removed all the let.
tiers addressed to him by the vicomtesse ir
question.
OF course it was hopeless for him to en-
deavor to obtain any redress for the outrage
thus perpetrated. for in France, and indeed
almost everywhere else on the continent
the magistrates and judges, instead OF be
ing independent, are merely dependent fol
the maintenance of their positions. for pro
motion, and for hOnors in the shape of or
ders and decorations, upon the government
of the day, and especially to the minister OF
justice, whose obedient and submissive
servants they are obliged to be.
That any of them should so far forget
what is due to his superiors as well rs t.
his own interests as to render a decision in
favor of a prosecutor against the govern
ment is deemed, therefore, out OF question
