SAILING party Was gwen 1 lueSudy Dy
Miss Belle McwillIams, of ST. Mary's
county, TO a number OF her Washington
friends who are visiting in tile DeighboE-
hood of her home, The Breakers, near st.
Clements Bay.
The party was comfortably arranged in
pilot vessel belonging to Capt. Wat Norris,
and tte four hours spent on the IDoon-i!t
water were diversified with musical selec-
tions by banjo and mandolin quartet, d
number of songs and choruses by the guests,
and two beautifully rendered hymns by the
colored crew.
Melons, peaches and ices were passed
around at intervals, and as the vessel
sailed into port the entire party acceded
to the request of the hospitable captain by
singing together the doXoiogy and Home,
Sweet Home"
Among those present were Misses Mary
and Ella Calvert, OF South Washington,
Miss Mattingly, OF n street, and Miss Ella
Davis, of Capitol Hill.
The curiosity with which New York
society is consumed 10 see the Duchess Of
Manchester received q setback yester-
day, when it was evidenced that the
Lain had reached port with her grace not
on board. 1t is hoped, however. that she
Will arrive today on the Germanic.
Tic condition of social affairs at New
port, in which the Duchess is expected 10
take hand, suggests that she Will in all
probability become the reisIing spirit
there before the season is over. Newport
has decided that the Duchess must marry
the young duke 20 Miss Alice NorthrIp
Gould; that she herself must take her
choice between Mrs. Beimont's ex-husband
and widower Van Alien, and that pretty
lady, Mary Montague. isto hopelcssly love
some one of the gilded youths OF Go,ham's
exclusive set and then sail home to Britain
with broken heart-for 10 one could ex-
pecG the Duchess TO tolerate a su.tor for
her only daughter, unless title went with
his hand.
Should her grace do what is expected of
her, all will be- well-but suppose she does
not, what then?

BRYAN AND TIE ANGEL.

Abou Bill Bryan, may his tribe decrease
Awoke one night from deep dream q
peace.
And saw within the moonlight in his
room,
Making it rich and silyerlike in bloom
An angel writing in book Of gold
Exceeding gall had made Bill Bryan bold
And to the presence in the room he said
"What writest thou?' The vision raised
its head,
And, with look of what he might ex.
pect,
Answered; "Their names who'll get i
in the neck
"And am one?" asked Abou, u don'i
know"
Replied the angel Abou spake more
low,
But cheerily still and said: 81 pray thee
sir,
Write me as one not liable to err"
The angel wrote and vanished The
next night
1t came again with a great November
light,
And showed the names of those knock
ed galley-west;
And lol Bill Bryan's name led all tho
rest. New York Sun

Some Fast Running.

The Royal Blue Line trains on the
B. & o. r. X. between Washington
and Philadelphia have attracted con-
siderable attention by reason of the
rapid time they make and the beauty
of the equipment. No effort has been
made to break any speed records, yet
within the past two or three weeks
some very creditabie performances
have been made by the new Baldwin
engines, ten of which were recently
purchased for service upon these
trains.
The schedule time between Wash
ington and Philadelphia is So miles
per hour and the maximum obtained
is Is per hour, the latter speed being
only maintained for short distances,
and in most cases when engineers are
attempting to make up lost time.
On Nov. 4, train $40, with engine
1910, hauling a cars, covered 90. 7
miles in I24 minutes and made 4
stops. This train covered 81 miles in
65 ,mintftes, including S minutes cross
ing the Srsquehanna River bridge.
On Nov. 6, train 5II, with engine
S4o (Which, by the way, is not one of
the new engines) with 4 cars, covered
$50 miles from Aberdeen to Bay View
in "a minutes.
On Nov. 10, train SOL, engine 1909,
with cars, covered 96.7 miles in I23
minutes, including 4 stops; $50 miles
of this distance, Aberdeen to Bay
View, was covered in IS minutes.
Noy. 10, train 5o4, engine 1908,
with cars, covered o6.7 miles in I2I
minutes, including one stop.
Probably the best performance Of
the month was on Nov. IS. Train
5o7 0he Chicago limited), with en-
CINE 1908, hauling II cars, the entire
train, with the exception of 3 cars,
being vestibuled, left Camden Station,
Baltimore, at 7.o4 p. m. and arrived
in Washington at 7.52 p. M, being a
run of 40 miles in as minutes. This
train covered the distance between
Muirkirk and Alexandria Junction,
on the Washington Branch, s.. miles
in minutes. This was an excep.
tionally good run, when it is taken
into consideration that the speed had
to be slow through the cities Of Bal
timore and Washington, and there
was one slow order on account of
sewer construction.

The tobacco habit grows on man I'M

euro" is scientific cure for the tobac-
co habit, in all its forms, carefully com
pounded after the formula of an emf
nent Berlin physician who has used it in
his private practice since 1872, without a
failure. 1t is purely vegetable and guar
anteed perfectly harmless. You can use
all the tobacco you want while taking

of the aims of this organization and of
the progress of the work it has under
taken. G. w. Horn, of ST. Paul, fol-
lowed Mr.. Groat and then Col. w. c..
Plummer made one of his characteris-
I tic speeches. The colonel is one Of
those men who capture audiences and
the more he talks the more his hear
ers want him to. His speech was
filled with anecdotes and the audience
was sorry when he retired. d. f.
Reese, clerk Of the supreme court, was
present and although he hid himself
in the audience he was sought and
found and made a few remarks. A. G..
Bernard, the tall editor of the Grand
Rapids Magnet, came next and invited
a goodly gathering from the south at
the meeting soon to be held IN his
town.
r. E. Webster, of the North Ameri-
can Reuieac, who is spending the winter
in st. Paul, came next on the program
and his speech was principally praise
for the public school system of the
State and advantages offered for at
tanning the higher branches of educa-
ton. Moses Fulsom, of the Great
Northern made a few remarks and
then Samuel Hill closed the meeting
with the most enjoyable speech of the
session.
| The meeting was a thorough success
and the visitors, or most of them, left
on the 5 o'clock Eastern feeling amply
repaid for the time spent in Princeton
and from remarks dropped it was cyl
dent that they carried away good i'm
preston of our hustling village.
Those from the north did not leave I'M
til the morning train Saturday morn
ing and made a thorough inspection OF
the town.
There were 500 people present and
they were well entertained Had it
been positively known, even the night
before, just who were to be present a
much larger audience would have been
secured.
