SianO u AetiVitY-LUevO Dlsok-OOano Building
Many improvements Contemplated.


Notwithstanding general complaint
of dull times, there does not appear to
be any dinlinution of the building spir-
it in Caldwell. Within the last month
four or FIVE new residences have been
completed, or nearly so, and there are
now q number of quite pretentiOus
structures under way. The Episcopal
church foundation is laid and a mum.
Der of carpenters are at work getting
out the frames, roof, timbers, etc. This
is to be a brick with 8 stained glass
dOrmeE windows. The auditorium will
be 20 Z 40, affording seating capacity
for 200; the chancel will be IA 20 and
the vestry will be IA x 16. The church
will be finished in elegant and substan-
tial style. Brick laying will begin as
soon as our local brick yards can sup
ply them. The foundation Of the Doane
brick block, 25 < 1870 is finished and brick
laying is begun. Early in the week work
was begun ON the Lucus block, corner
Main and Kimball streets. The first
movement was the saving in two, Ion
gitudinally, of Mrs. Mohr's frame lodg.
ing house. This was done because the
building was partly on Mr.. Lucus' land.
at present the Lucus harness shop is
being hoisted upon rollers to be moved
out of the way, bodily. The new build
ing will be of brick, 30 K 100, having
two fronts, one on Main street the
other on Kimball avenue. 1t is not
known whether it is to be two or three
stories high. The building will be flu
ished in elegant modern style, with
plate glass fronts, colored skylights. 1t
is understood that w. s. Bailey will
break ground on his Main street lot in
q short time for the purpose of erect
ing a brick, so < 1870, so we are inform
ed, 1t is also rumored that Hardy and
Thorp will put up two story brick 25
K 100. Thus the town of Caldwell
grows. All honor to her wide awake
and enterprising citizens.

Last Monday morning Miss Dolly
Watkins, a pleasing girl Of Is years,
WAS alive and apparently in good
health. In the morning she attended
school as usual and remained until the
afternoon dismissal. She came homo
in the evening and complained to her
mother of certain charges against her
chastity and appeared to be consider
ably disturbed in consequence. How,
ever, it would appear that the charges
were well founded, and that the fact of
her being enceiRte was commonly
known among the people of Middleton.
The matter had been called to the at
tention Of the school board with view
to having Dolly taken out Of school.
and one member Of the school board
had approached her on the subject

sMALLEY ON THE ENGLISH.

Their Social Life Discussed by the Noted
Correspondent to Yale students-
George W. Smalley, the noted foreign
correspondent, recently spoke under
the auspices of the Phi Beta Kappa So
ciety at Yale on the subject, Social
Life In England" The lecture wns de-
livered Mt New Haven for the first time.
and was very instructive of the charao.
teristics of society life In England. Mr..
amalley wns introduced by Prof. Ed
ward J. Phelps, OF Yale, ex-minister to
England. Mr.. Smalley admitted in his
PREDATORY remarks that there was much
paltry and ignoblc In London society.
but he confined his description to the
bright side Of English social life Mr..
smalley declared that not wealth, fame,
honor, nor even rank alone, gave po-
7ition In English society, and stated
that many Of the titled personnges OF
the realm were outside the gates of
what is known IA society. He said that
position In society in England was OBJ
tanned and held only by combination
of leading traits of mind and character.
Mr.. Smalley interpreted his talk with
a vast number OF pertinent anecdotes
illustrating the different phases of Lon
don society life. He spoke of the mani
fest regard for the company OF others
by the members OF London society, and
declared that Mr.. Gladstone was the
only person in the Inst half century
who had ever been able to ignore this
rule without paying the penalty. He
enumerated many of Gladstone's char'
acteristics, showing him TO be arbitrary
at all times In society. In concluding.
Mr.. Smnllcy chilled the English "the
greatest Of actual races" and said that
we hud much to learn from them, they
from us and the world from both.-Troy

be told of the incident of The suspicious
stranger, aid told IT once, with the pos
sibility quite within reason that he
would decide TO seek now asylum
without delay. In that case l might
find myself bidding Mrs. Loring and her
niece an unceremonious adicu. or
might be left behind with my chief
source of revenue cut Off In either
event I should be heavy$oser. And,
worst of all, could devise no way In
which TO shake of my helplessness. A
hint as TO the identity of the stranger
had suggested itself IA soon MS Carpen-
ter attempted to portray the man. So
far as II went. his description fitted the

ted half the tramps In that region.
While the etory threw suspicion upon
the fellows motives, and might prove
most useful AZ u warning, Il was not, of
course, In itself sufficient TO warrant n
demand for his discharge. The out

Elections was a determination TO lay the
matter before the person most interest

ment.

done with a bad business as speedily rs
possible, j visited Lamar and told him

to the story with the closest attention,

anco OF the man under suspicion, and

ments, seemingly undistuIbcd by the
possibility OF new complication In his
affairs.

IRELAND ON A. P. AISM
The Archbishop Thinks the Apes Are
" Far From Being Numerous.


Archbishop Ireland, who has been in
Washington attending the conservation
of the new bishop of Sioux Falls, DR..
German, was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
New York. In an interview with a re-
porter he said that his church duties did
not interfere with his political opinion
as an individual American citizen.
Asked to state his preference in regard
to a. presidential candidate, the arch
bishop said:
GAS the summer advances l shall be
better prepared to answer that qestion,
.The "A. p. AS? Well, / have heard a
great deal about them, but have seen
very little of them. The name OF the a.
P. AS is not legion. They are not nu-
merous in America, and where they are
found they are usually imported Ameri-
cans, They may croak good deal to
make believe they are numerous. Two
or three frogs in a swamp Eaay keep
whole shouseful from sleep. The Chief
reason of the secrecy they attach to their
meetings and their membership is that
they must hide their feWness Of num-
bers. 4. Why, if they counted votes by
millions as their spokesmen say, do they
not come ont and support regular a.
P. A.4ticket? They will never dare do SO.
"Their usual plan Of campaign is to hitch
themselves to the tail Of a party or of
a, man whom: they think likely to win,
and afterwards to claim the victory as
their own. I have known several cases
in the West where politicians affixed
the stigma Of the A. p A. on tickets
which they wished to defeat and to
which they did not at all belong. A
good deal of intriguing goes on under
cover Of this shibboleth. The avoWed
principles of A. p. 5A.'ism are utterly an
ti-American and worthy Of our supreme
contempt. No man deserving OF: the
American citizenship and of the liberties
it ensures would countenance them an
instant. The only peril I foresee is that
politicians and leaders of political par
ties. show cowardice and thereby bring
ruin to themselves, and believing A. P.
"a Is, to be lying around thick as autum-
nal leaves in Vallombrosa they may be
frightened into speaking and voting SO
as to curry favor with them.
.sIn giving the least heed to "A. pr.
A.'ism, politicians show their own folly,
their own lack of principle and they
lose Immensely more than they gain.
Every concession to "A. 2. A.'ism gives
offense to mqlittudes of good citizens
who do not say many loud words. but
do a lot of quiet voting. y. StSST

This is the way the dainty little
souvenir invitations read, to which
about thirty couples responded.
The spacious and beautiful residence
of Col. l. E. Reeves was tastefully
decorated with many colored lights,
suggesting in the soft blendings OF
light and shadow a dream of fairy
land ; nor was the enchantment dis
PEELED on passing the vine-covered arch
way that spanned the entrance to the
grounds, for everywhere the fnel
artistic effect in decorating was in evi

usual formalities of introduction were
managed with such grace by the charm
ing hostess that they hardly seemed
formalities. and yet all the guests o.
the evening, many of whom lived at {
distance, were soon friends, and sucl
friends as only such entertainments
and such hospitality can make.
