Death of Howard r. Gilbert.

Howard F. Gilbert, who was taken very
Ill about three weeks ago, died last Thurs.
day night of congestion of the liver.
The youngest son Of. Myron j. and Je.
rusha A. Gilbert, he was born March 10
1850. at Brandon, where he passed his boy
hood clerking in store.
lie then went to California and re-
manned two years in Stockton. Later he
made his home in Minneapolis and fiually
returned to Randolph, where he became
an employee in the Salisbury factory and
was seriously injured by the fall OF an ele-
vator. de was also accidentally wounded
in the hand by pistol shot, and these two
shocks to his system were the probable
cause Of the epileptic trouble from which
he suffered during the last years of his
life.
he was endowed with great natural
skill as gardener, and built and kept a
greenhouse that was really a credit to the
village.
The funeral was conducted at the house
at four O'Clock Saturday afternoon by the
Rev. Seward Robson, pastor Of the Bap-
fist church. Only few friends were
asked to attend on account of the critical
illness Of his mother, Mrs. A. A. Atwood,
whose recovery was at that time consid-
cred doubtful. The deceased left one son,
Albert, who was with his father when he
died.

An Afternoon Tea.

Mrs. Smith had decided to give an after.
noon tea for the benefit of some charitable
object or other, and on layi, g the plan be.
fore her husband, was met with the most
lofty masculine Indifference.
"By all means, Maria, il you think II
will alleviate the misery OF the poor and
suffering for us to have this function, let
us have it; but i am very much afraid
that shall be unable to arrange my bust
ness so as to be present. OF course, you
understand that nothing but serious
complication Of affairs will cause me to
deprive myself of'so much hilarity.n
fie nevertheless watched the prepare
tions for the event with mild curiosity,
tinctured by amusement as he noted the
array of Embroidered rags" the tiny Chi
ma cups and the evidences OF substantial
repast in the piles OF reception waters and
the bouquets of flowers.
But when Mrs. Smith took down the
old fashioned punch bowl, his interest
was Immediately aroused.
''5ee here, Maria, what are you going to
do with that?"
''Put the punch in it, of course"
'sPunch DO you women have punch?
Well, this promises to be more OF a social
dissipation than imagined. Perhaps af-
ter all | might get away from the Office
for little while If you would really like
to have me. Who is going to mix it?"

"You? What do you know about mix
ing punch? l don't believe you know
Punch from judy"

ooh! you have; just give it to us, will
your"
ssCertainly. You make good lemonade
first, then put into it chopped pineapples,
bananas, oranges, Strawberries and LOT
OF other things"
''Then what do you do, filter it through
a brick?"
''No, it is all ready to drink"
''What! drink that hasty pudding?
Well, am astonished at such depraved
taste. should have too much self-respect
to swallow teaspoonful Of such mixture.
/ hope you will be careful, Maria, not to
deal 1t out too lavishly; and when your
friends leave, just see that their bonnets
are on straight, and If any of them seem
to find the sidewalks too narrow, send
them out by twos, SO that they can sort of
prop each other up. don't want the au-
thorities down on me for running pri-
vate distillery and corrupting the public
morals. Sorry can't be with you, but it
won't do for citizen OF my position to be
seen at such an orgy"
Then he went down town, and meeting
some acquaintance, told them that their
wives were all at his house, "dissipating
on kind of liquid hash they call punch"

Golden CLUB VIEWS.
Our Recent EIection-Lord PIayfair
on the Tariff.

LONDON. November PA meeting OF
the Golden Club was held at the rooms
OF the National Liberal Club this after
noon. Among the speakers was Lord
Farrar. Of Abinger, formerly Sir Thomas
Henry Farrar. the author Of Free Trade
vs. Fair Trade" and other economic
works Lord Farrar expressed his salts
faction that Mr.. Chamberlain's proposals
for an Imperial zollverein had fallen fiat,
both at home and I'm the Colonies, as he
was opposed 10 free trade that meant
only free trade with the Colonies and
protection against foreign countries. He
was gratihed at the election Of Mckinley
TO the American presidency. though he
was merely the lesser evil II Bryan
had not appeared as candidate, he
would have thought Mckinley the worst
possible man for President
Lord Playfar said: THE issues at
stake I'm the American presidential cleo
ton involved questions OF constitutional
government. and also the question Of our
faith in democracy. II Bryan had been
elected that faith would have been shat.
tered, and the commercial panic which
would have ensued would have been
enormous But far more serious than
commercial panic would have been our
loss OF ialAH III lllt NtAlloNAeNg VI AAl'
world"
Speaking Of his personal observations
In the United States during the presi-
dental campaign. Lord Playfair said he
felt required 10 say that the silverites
were not dishonest, but mistaken. Free
trade was not an issue in the contest,
with the exception that it was men,
toned in some of McKinley's speeches.
In view Of the fact that the pivot Of the
election was sound money. the world
ought TO feel glad Of the result. II would
be a long time, he predicted, before
the ardent protectionists of the United
states would seek to change the exist
ing tariff. The sound politicians OF the
United States had many questions OF
their own TO solve, and he had no doubt
that they would take advantage Of the
opportunity 10 deal with the question OF
the currency: but they were not likely
to attempt to bring about a revival Of
high protection.

REASONS FOR THANKSGIVING.
Letters Giving Hope of Southern
business improvements.

BALTIMORE, MD. November 2t-The
Manufacturers Record publishes this
week, as appropriate to THANKSGIVING
Day. several hundred letters from lead
ing businessmen, manufacturers, mer-
chants and railroad officials throughout
the South, giving their views as to why
the South especially has many reasons
for giving thanks for material blessings.
With only two or three exceptions these
letters give a very hopeful outlook
as to the general feeling OF improve
ment that exists in business circles in
all the Southern States, and show that
the prospects are everywtc-e favorable
for Increasing activity on the part Of
southern manufacturing interests, for a
large movement Of population TO the
South from the North and West, and
for liberal investments Of outside capital
i'm southern enterprises. Many railroad
and Industrial undertakings that have
been held I'm abeyance for months are
now being taken up and plans matured
for early construction. Farmers are re-
ported to be less i'm debt than for many
years. the very heavy grain crops and
the large production OF meat during the
past few years having made the South
almost self-sustaining in the way OF
food-stuffs and have kept at home the
millions Of dollars that have heretofore
gone West
Particular emphasis is laid upon the
growing power OF commerce from south
ern ports. the magnitude OF this busi-
ness showing that the South is 20 hold
as commanding a position in our for
eign trade by virtue Of the proximity Of
its ports 10 the central western regions
that produce the grain and provisions
for export. as II now holds in iron and
cotton manufacturing.
While two out Of several hundred let
ters take an unfavOrabe view of the
situation. and do not look for much Inn
prov ement. the others are Of a most
cheerful and hopeful character, and are
expressive Of the many reasons why the
South has reason TO give thanks for
blessings enjoyed. for dangers escaped.
and for the bright promise Of great in
dustriai. commercial. and railroad de-
velopments. and also for the assurance Of
a great southwark movement of popula-
