THE SMOKE HOLLOW CLUB CELEBRATES.
 Lewis Hagar, who took unto himself better-half, last week, has not returned at this writing. Before leaving he left orders with the steward of the Smoke Hollow club, of which he is a member, for an oyster supper at the club rooms on Saturday evening, November IA, to be given to all 0t his friends in this vicinity. The rooms were tastefully decorated for the occasion. After a short time given over to checkers, etc., enlivened by some splendid music by the orchestra, consist ing of three viOlins, banio and bones, we were treated to some very fine vocal music by H. Beeman who accompanied himself on the banjo, assisted by Arthur Richardson of Bridgeport with the bones. At about 10 o'clock all were seated at the festive board and the oysters were brought on. And let it be noted right here that the club are to be envied in their selection of 8 chef and steward, as everything on the menu was cooked to perfection. After supper there was more music, songs, stump speeches, etc., until about II 30 when the party broke up with three times three and q tiger for L.. A. Hagar and the Smoke Hollow club.

THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.

The moral eminations from the edi- torial columns of THE BEE relative to political, and temperance questions, par ticularIY the latter, leads me to give ex- pression to few thoughts in relation thereto.
 It is enough to bring the blush of shame to the cheeks of every citizen, over which "Old Glory waves, that even one heather nation can teach us an object lesson on temperance lines. l refer to that vast empire, China, con- taining a population of four hundred millions or more, with no saloons, no inebriate homes, and no chronic drunk ards, although Sam-Shin or rice wine 1 am told, can be purchased as low as two cents quart; and no-ma jDu or rice jim for b cents gallon; nevertheless the dru kard is practically u known, and the diseases resulting from the abuse of alcohol have no place in Chinese path, ology. And yet European sailors come ashore and get fighting drunk aC an ex pense of five cents.
 1 The writer has met thou,aqds of Chinese from the Atlantic to the Pacific and has yet to come in contac- with one in an intoxicated suggestiDg ! the idea that China send us a few tenn perance missionaries to teach us how to control our appetites. Inasmuch as we a -e confronted with the humiliatipg fact that legions of our people allow their appetites to control them, it seems that gislation is our only recourse.
 h order to call into action the arm cf the law, it is not only essential but abso- lutely necessary chat public sentiment should first bccorle aroused to the i'm portaUce of choOsin representatives wto are in touch with the pulse of the peo- pie advocating the removal of this huge, ugly wart from the body polite.
 To our mind the custom of treating is one of the most powerful of actors in manufacturing, and perpetuating drunk ards, than any other in vogue. Hence is seems that Iigid legislation on this point would prove powerful entering wedge towards accomplishing the de sired nrd, others would naturally frllov lin ~,qleutial order-lnaking t a scrlou- mi dem"anor for one person to "ircal another to incoxiulnts. We opine that that thi- act alone would reduce tn, drinking habit nearly, if not quite, or, half D. F. French

MIR BALDWIN MAKES A SUGGESTION.
 Editor THE BEE; Probably no one realizes as l do the great convenience it would be to have the creamery whistle blow on correct time, because 80 many come in to see whether their watches are getting off time The timepiece at the creamery Is an ordinary eight-day spring clock winch every watchmaker knows cannot keep correct time from day to day. If 1t ia regulated to keep time from week to week it has got to gain time the fore part of the week and lose the same time it gains the last of the week, which usually amounts to a variation of three or four minutes week. The clock at the creamery runs near enough for their own practical pur 0ses, SO they cant be expected to buy new one for the con venicuce of the public. Hence have of fered to give a dollar towards new eight day Seth Thomas weight regulator and furnish one at bottom wholesale rates that ought to keep practically correct time and feel confident that there arc few men in town that would not be will ling to give a quarter or half dollar to have the whistle blow exactly on time, IS in the large cities, so that watches could be set and regulated by it and if l could get out around I feel pretty sure that could pick up the money, $l0 or l Sl2, in shOlt time, But as 1 don't eX- | pect to go out again Gill next summer, l take thi: method to ask all who feel in 1 Jcrestcd in the project to step into my store and leave your little contribution and l feel pretty certain you'll never re- grct it. The creamery upcrintcndeuta as ,ures me they will take pains under those circumstances to give us the time, as near as they can, and 1 have no doubl ] that if for any reason they have to blow of time an arrangement could be made for au extra toot to warn us not tc change our timepieces.

EELs THAT TAKE THE PRIZE.


 This is to notify our friend of Roxbury that we let the eels go down the river to Roxbury, but keep the big ones here. 4 short time ago H. Beeman took from tn , eel rack at Dwy's mill pond, four eels which were larger than the ROXbury eel, one of them weighed eight pounds and four ounces and measured three feet and one and one,half inches in length. The other three weighed seven and one-half pounds apiece and were three and one half feet long. But eels of that size are so common that we did not think them worthy of mention in live paper like THE BEE. This is not a fish story but an eel story. If your correspondent doubts it, if he will send his address to THE BEE office, your correspondent will notify him by card when we get the next one and give him an exhibition of our ''voraciousness" free gratIs for nothing.

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT HAT?

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT HAT?
 The hat that strayed from it's owner while making the count of ballots on election night was found several days after at the home of two of our most patriotic citizens. It seems they spent one half day and entire evening ard came on foot from the most extreme northern part of town. They of course spent the entire day at the polls and re- mained until after the result of represen-. tative contest was known before starting for their distant home, Though the ex- citement, perhaps of the defeat of their pet candidate, they started and arrived home, one having a new hat in place of an old one. They were too busy and had not returned the hat until an office" of the law found the same at their residence md charged them something like $1 per day for the use of it. If some one play ed a Dke on them by taking his old hat out of his hand and putting in the new one, it will go hard with them if found out
