SOCIETY SHOCKED.
A White House Tea in Spite of Miss Ste
venson's Death.

WAsHINeToN,J an. 23.-In quiet way
society is somewhat aghast over Mrs.
Cleveland's tea of Saturday. Invitations
were abroad, but when Miss Stevenson's
death was announced large number
who were invited supposed the cards
would be recalled This was a mistake.
Tea was brewed and laughter rang and
rippled at the White House as il there
was no such officer as vice president and
no such thing as death. As a result,
however, not more than one-third of
those asked came.
And now much shocked wonder and
amazement is abroad in conjunction with
the affair. The cha5m between the pres
ident and vice president was we'll known
but most people believed that in a pre-
tenn way, at least, it might have been
bridged by sorrow and death.

Moving Day.

The patron Saint of The Hearthstone was
in benign mood on Monday. No better
day for moving is on record, the sunshine,
the spring like air and good roads were
hailed with delight, even the prlm spinster
and cross old bachelor, if there be any
here, took semi cheerful view of life, and
the annual domestic crisis passed without
break, everything moved along as
smoothly as May morning and as placid
as a summer sea.
A moving is far greater test of the do
mestic machinery than housecleaning and
the family that can stand an annual ex-
perience in tearing down and setting up
the household gods is iron-clad and proof
against all ills that threaten the citidal of
domestic happiness.
Thirty-three families in Middletown have
moved this spring, besides many farmers
in the peighborhood who have changed
their residences.
In addition to those already named in
former issues of the TRANSCRIPT there are
several others who are in new homes.
Dan Cochran has moved from his Maryland
farm to his old home near town. Mr..
Rhoads, the former tenant is on the farm
K. G. Whittock tenanted, he having moved
near New Castle. Mr.. P Rily has left the

The Curfew Bell.

The i'curlew belr' rings the children
off the streets and in their homes at Stild-
water MINI, where the famous Mozier or
dinance Is in operation.
All children under 16 years of age, found
on the streets after O'Clock, are compelled
to give a good account of themselves, fail
ing to do 50 they are either taken to thier
homes or the city lookup.
The law operates SO satisfactorily that
other cities are preparing to follow suit.
A ''curiew bell" irt Middletown might do
for the children what their parents have
been unable to do. The matter is subject
for discussion in the Mothers Meetings.
Reformers find it much easier to get new
laws passed than to enforce those
that nature has ordained. and if the
..curtew" will protect the children, let it
ring by law.
