 WATERTOWN.

AL FRISCO FETE.-WATERTOWN GREAT
 EVENT A SUCCFSS.-OVER 2000 PEOPLE
 ON THE GROUNDS.
 Thursday evening, June 6, was a red lett"r day in Watertown for the famous Al Fresco Fete, given by the ladies of Christ church the tenth time, was cele- brated. This enterprise, which was or iginated by Rev and Mrs H. N. Cunning ham on their first toming to Christ church parish 10 years ago proved a sue cess beyond their most sanguine expecta- tious. Each year the fete grows larger and prettier and more and more seem to look forward to the great event of the year. It was thought that probably the chilliness of the evening might deter many from coming, this year, but if it did it was not perceptible, as the grounds were completely filled from end to end The American band furnished music and the attractions were numerous and enter taining for both old and young. Ie seems almost too bad to go to so much labor and expense in fitting up so many booths and tables for one evening. A great many think the festival ought to be con ducted at least two evenings and be a success.

THE FAIRFIELD ACADEMY.

THE FAIRFIELD ACADEM1. The Town hall was filled to overflow ing on Monday night, the occurrence be- ing the entertainment by the pupils of the Fairfield Academy. The platform was very tastefully decorated with lsu- rel, ferns and flowers, and with the mel low light shed from handsome banquet lamps, the effect was very pretty. The children seemed to enter heartily into the exercises, and enjoyed the occasion as heartily as did the interested audience, composed of parents and friends of the children. The program was mainly by the children of the kindergarten depart ment, and was highly credtable. Many of the little misses were remembered by boquets of flowers. The applause which greeted the youthful performers at the close of each number was tremendous, and fairly made the old walls shake. The program was as follows: Valse Durand

\ strange story comes from Flat

railroad
The public will remember thar some
years ago the Lynchburg and Durham
railroad procured the privilege of run
ming their track through her land. or
rather her meadow The commission
ers awarded her the sum of $500. This
was considered a very liberal allow
ance The company paid the amount
into the Office of the Superior Court of
the county. Miss Teasley has persist
emily declined to receive it.
Several years ago she advertised the
road for sale to the highest bidder.
The sale was held, but there were no
bidders, and she now lays claim to the
whole road.
Under the law, unclaimed property
remaining for certain number of
years shall be turned over to the State
University. The time has nearly, or
about expired. the sum of $3.50 will be
turned over to the University. Miss
TeasIey has been informed of the fact,
but still she declined to receive it

PROSPERITY AND POLITICS.

Gov. Mckinley might better save
the powder with which it is said he
purposes to fire a counterblast to
Postmaster-General Wilson's letter to
The World on the success of the new
tariff.
The people can be trusted to remem-
ber the operations of the Mckinley
tariff and to observe the effects OF the
present one. They know that there
was no increase in wages to correspond
with the increase in duties under the
Mckinley act. They know, as "the
shopping woman" told Mr.. Reed, that
there was an increase in prices. They
remember that Gov. Campbell and
other Democratic speaker vainly chal-
lenged the Republicans in the cam
paign Of 1891 to name one instance of
an increase of wages in the industries
that had received higher bounties, in
return for their campaign contribu-
tions. They remember-the home
stead workers in particular-actual re-
ductions in wages. Other instances
reported from time to time in the
daily News, recently reprinted in The
World and never before questioned,
have been made the subject of quibbl-
ing denials as to the extent or time or
cause of the reductions. But the gen.
eral fact Of the steady depression Of
wages from 1891 to 1894 under the Nc
Kinley act cannot be denied. The
people knew it..
What the country is much more in
terested in, however, is the rise in
wages, the decrease cost in necessaries
and the return of prosperity under the
Democratic tariff. What all the
Republican politicians and editors
said could not occur has occurred.
There is no need of figures, and facts
prove this. The people see and feel
and rejoice in it. And this Gov. Nc
Kinley will find, is to be the main
factor in the approaching elections,
and especially in the more important
one next year. The people cannot be
deluded into denying the good times,
nor into prefering politics to pros
perity. They ask only for an era Of
peace in which to improve to the ut
most the opportunity that has come to
them. And they intend to have
it.-New York World,

TOO DAINTY FOR CORN.

The issue Of Harpers Bazaar of the
18th is on our table. As we let our
gaze glide down its columns just now,
the gaze aforesaid brought up with a
snap, having collided with the follow
ing statement in answer to g CORE
spondent: "Corn, if served on the cob,
should be placed in folded napkin on
a platter, the walters uncovering the
corn before passing it, and each person
helping himself (ladies not mentioned)
with the fingers, and eating 1t either
holding the cob in the hand or cutting
the corn of with knife" That's the
statement that our glance hooked onto,
and polarized. just think of the effete
dudelets and dudesses of the east hay
ing to be told how to eat corn. One
would think from the advice to pick
the corn up with the fingers, that elite
society was in the habit of picking I'D
its corn with its toes, or shaving the
grains of the cob with corn cutter,
or boiling it cob and all. Us country
folks may not know much, but we can
give the Bazar readers pointers on eat
Ing corn. First you want to catch
your corn, just when its brilliantined |
1hiskers begin to turn dull ON the
ends, cook it then, it don't matter
low, trot out some genuine old
ashioned butter, produce the salt and
'roceed to dsglute.
