Bailey chapter R. A. R., drove out and enjoyed the eeremoLws.
 The object of the pilgrimage was to place tablet on the house from which m ll64 Whitfield, the famous preacher, addressed a gathering. The tablet is or wood and the inscription on 1t re- lates the fact of the visit of Whitfield to the house, but there is possibility or q change in it's location being made rom the fact that the sermon was de- llVered from platform built out over the front door, and in the opinion of many that is the place where the tab- let should be placed.
 The exercises incident to the erection Of the tablet were of very interesting character Rev. N. T. Allen offered prayer. Mrs. Cuthbert Slocumb ad- dressed the children and made a pre- sentation of an Anna Warner Bailey bell to Thomas Avery chapter. David A. Daboll, jr., made an address on Whitfield and the exercises were inter- spersed by singing by the children, led by Charles H. Lamb.
 At the conclusion of the program the people were entertained at the resi- dence of George Whitfield Daboll, es- pecial pains being taken to ensure the pleasure of the children, who had de- lightful time. A variety of refresh ments were served, and when the party started for home it was with the sat isfaction of having spent very profit | able as well as an enjoyable day.-New London Day.

FACTS ys. nor oMAroRY.

"Railroad rates have not been reduc- ed to keep pace with falling prices, The farmer has thus found it more and more difficult to live" So earelessly or dishonestly said the Boy Orator in Madison Square Garden. He ought to have known better than to say so if he didn't. What are the facts? In 1872 to ship a bushel of wheat from Chicago to the seaboard by rail cost 33 50 cents. In 1895 it cost 12.17 cents. By lake and rail routes it cost 2S cents in 1872 and 6,95 cents in 1895. By lake and canal routes it cost 24.47 cents in 1872 and All cents in 1895. The reductions in freight rates thus indicated have not been made suddenly or arbitrarily. They have kept pace steadily with the de- cline in the price of grain, the interests of the railroads and the farmers being so inseparably related that whatever affects one necessarily affects the oth- CT in exactly the same way.
 Boy Oratory doesn't appear to take much account of facts. But the facts are there, all the same, for those who are not boy orators to consider.

Dr. Otto Arendt, the leader of the German bimetallists. prominent mem Der of the German silver commission of 1894, and now 8 member of the Prussian house of deputies and editor of the Deutsches Wichenblatt, knows at least as much about the silver ques- tor says that this country can make other nations follow it's lead if it adopts the free silver policy. Dr. Arendt says that if it is now desired to perpetuate the gold standard in Europe let the government at Wash ington adopt free coinage of silver at the ratio of 1:16. At present after the closure of the Indian hints, this step could not possibly have any other re- suit than to make the American stand ard silver standard. The price of silver of course, would rise, but not to 59 pence, and not permanently. The United States would have a standard not materially different from that of Mexico. All the disadvantages and all the advantages of fiuctuating and de- preciated money standard would follow. Gold monometallism would be replaced by silver monometallism; the double standard would become nominal. No bimetallist can approve of this Free coinage of silver in the United States would result in harm to Europe, no doubt, but also in advantage. Perhaps no harm would predominate; but one thing is certain, the absorption of the American gold. the continual supply coming from the American gold pro- duction, would, for long time to come, relieve the European powers of all anx- iety for their gold standard. The monetary anarchy would thus be per- timation. Only by insisting in all eoun- tries in an unequivoeal manner on the international solution of the currency question can international bimetailism be attained. No more experiments!" is, therefore, the only appeal which the European bimetallists address to those of America. No silver purchases, no silver coinage, otherwise than on the basis of international agreement; and no more abortive attempts to bring | them about.

For State Treasurer.


 We are requested to announce to the Republicans of Connecticut that the friends of ex-Senator Charles W. Gros- venor, of Pomfret, intend to present his name to the State convention for the office of State treasurer.
 It has been well known for some time past that influential Republicans in Windham county are hoping to see MT. year, not only from personal attach ment to their neighbor and friend, but from a sincere conviction that the party will be consulting it's own best interests in honoring him. The farmers know President Grosvenor of the Wind ham County Agricultural society The old soldiers know Comrade Grosvenor of the Eighteenth Connecticut. He has friends in all the counties, and he stands enviably high in their respect and esteem. He is a good citizen and a very good Republican. He is intelli- gent, practical, wide-awake with plenty of Connecticut gumption in his makeup and level business head on his shoulders He has a good familiar ity with public affairs; he would know how to find his way around at the State House. And he is as upright as he is capable.
 If the State convention gratifies his Windham county friends and his other friends by putting MT. Grosvenor's s name on the ticket, Connecticut will get an admirable treasurer.

 In summer, hats are safe from at tracing attention that in winter would be considered in extravagantly bad taste. Yet it is possible to overdo showiness in August headgear and the woman who does that tips down her tulle hat and builds up her tulle ruff till only her gleaming shadowed eyes are visible between. Now and then a glimpse of painted cheeks is had, too, and that at once settles all questions of taste. But the thoroughly unusual hat that does not oyerstep the mark is no less desirable because of such offences, and an example of this sort of head gear is shown here that will be very likely to make it's wearer highly envied. It was made of cerise fancy straw with slightly conlcal crown encircled by four rows of black spangles. The gar niture consisted of two fluffy black silk roses placed at either side of the back

which was slightly turned up like the front, and was also ornamented with a paste buckle. The hat had two turned up points at either side of the front, each decorated with a black chiffon star encircled with black spangles. The paste button in front held in place a bunch of quills.
 The dressmaker's chief aim In mak- ing August dresses seems to be to have them airy, and it is but natural that late summer millinery should harmo- nize with such gowns. Many hats are seen on which tissue, null, lace, tulle and what not are piled up so high that a girl looks like piece of thistle down, and the only wonder is how she keeps George from hugging her all the time. But it is not at ali necessary that the hat should match the gown, except In airiness. and the craze for tulle hats all of color continues. A girl with a corn color and black lawn gown on may wear a hat of geranium scarlet tulle and not be arrested As for shape, you can't see the shape of most of the hats because of the tulle. A good deal is said about the tip-tilting hats, but they are seldom in good taste Wear your pretty hat just where it makes you look the best, and that will be the right place, Only if it so hap pens that you are prettiest with your hat tipped over your nose, then you are lucky.

A slot-machine for the automatic de- livery of packages of medicine is a western innovation which may require the active intervention of boards of health. There are twelve slots, each for some disease with which the adven- turous customer may think he is af- ficted. The machine, of course, can only furnish the medicine, and each pa tient must take diagnosis for himself. The medicine may be all right, if the diagnosis is properly made, but the man who is his own doctor may have 8 fool for patient.

Recently a firm of Oswego, New York pump makers gave the agency for the sale of their goods In Germany to what they supposed to be a reputable firm, and filled with satisfaction and expectation an order for six of their finest pumps to start the trade. The German agent turned out to be engaged is t,ie same line of business-pump- making-and he had taken the Ameri- can pumps apart, and, using them as patterns, was making duplicates in large numbers for the German market

buted to the majority of 5000,
which Governor Foster got. As a
matter of fact there are not half a
dozen parishes IN the State wherein
Capt. Pharr actually got majority
of the white votes cast, among those
parishes being Calcasieu, Iberia,
Catalonia and Acadia.
/ Gov. Foster did not get the white
vote in the State that he was legiti-
mately entitled to. As was pointed
out in the. correspondence printed in
the States from all sections of
Louisiana, in seven-tenths of the
parishes were bitter parochial feuds
and contests. In an extremely large
number of parishes there were not
even parish conventions held. The
State ticket was left to take care of
itself, while rival Democrats stiug-
gled between themselves or fought
out their battles with the Populists.
Calcasieu and Grant are two parishes
where there was evidently treachery
to the ticket, and in large number
of other parishes the knife was stuck
into the State ticket in order that
local candidates might pull them
selves through. The campaign that
was made by the Democrats headed
by Governor Foster and Senator
Blanchard alone saved the State.
The local workers In many instances
were so busy attending to their own
political interests that they had no
opportunity to campaign for the
State ticket.
With all of these advantages,
with all this apathy SO far as the
State fight was concerned, with
treachery here and treachery there,
it is entirely satisfying that Cover
nor Foster should have carried
Louisiana by over thirty thousand
majority of the white people, for If
the negro is eliminated from the votes
cast throughout the State it will be
found that Capt. Pharr has been
badly showed under by those of the
Caucasian race who took part in the
election.
