The X. q. e. Smoker.

Harmony Castle, No. Is, Knights
of the Golden Eagle held a smoker
in the Castle hall last Monday night

as the one held by this organization

to by the presence Of Grand Chief

Knight W. T. Mcclure was chair
man of the committee of arrange
ments and opened the exercises
with a fitting address of welcome to
the assembled Sir Knights and
guests. He was followed by Grand
Chief Maxwell who spoke at some
length on the leading features of

Barnes. W. L. Taylor also re-
sponded several times with comic

Fox Hunt.

The Elkton Hunt Club had it's
first fox hunt of the season Oh
Thanksgiving Day, and found six
willy foxes ready for a chase in the
Second district, in the vicinity of
Welch Point. The start from
Elkton was made at seven o'clock
and a quick ran was kept up until
noon. VIM. Meredith, of New
York, was thrown from his horse
being rendered insensible. Quite
a number rode running horses which
have seen service on the race track,
and the charges kept well to the
front. A number of ladies followed
the chase in carriages. Charles
Carter was master of hounds.
The affair was quite English you
know.

No License for Bicycles.

The town commissioners of Easton
passed an ordinance requiring
bicycle riders to take out a license.
The case was brought before Judge
Stump who rendered the following
decision.
"The general policy of the State
is that the citizens of a town and
all strangers who may happen to
pass through or reside therein shall
at their pleasure have the right of
free passage over the streets of said
town, either on foot or in ordinary
private vehicles. A bicycle is a
vehicle in general use. AS such it
has received legislative recognition
and protection.
"When it was desired to make
the owners of the dogs running at
large in the streets of Easton take
out licenses it was deemed necessary
to obtain special authority from the
Legislature. But it is commended
no such special grant of power is
necessary to authorize the COM
missiOners to require a lady to take
out license before she can ride a
bicycle in the same streets. If they
have the power to pass the ordin-
ance under consideration, then it
most logically follows that they
have power to require the owners
of all private vehicles drawn by
horses or pushed by the mother or
nurse to take out license before the
vehicle can pass through Easton
and also have the power to require
every person who walks in or
through the town of Easton to take
out a license and have painted on
his or her person or permanently
and conspicuously attached to his
her or clothes number correspond
ing to the license. For these reasons
l am of the opinion that the ordin-
ance is void"

EDITOR MIDLAND JoURNAL:-As O reader of
| your paper request few words in your columns.
Among the prayers ofsome ofour most learned men
on Thanksgiving was the thankfulness that after
the campaign there was no feeling, and they were
further grateful to the Creator that there was no
victorious sentiment displayed by Boosting and no
show of victory. Now it seems to me that these
gentlemen presidents of colleges, ministers,
bankers, etc. have not read the papers carefully,
especially some of the county papers, they then
could not with clear conscience offer thanks to
the good Lord for something that was not so. If
they could see at the present time some of our
recent issues of the press here in Cecil, perhaps
their eyes would open a Bit
! Yet there is no Boosting. No! it is only "facts"
Such pieces of clipped poetry for instance "The
golden moon rising on the vanqushed silver
| plain" or the last words of the dying soldier
| silver man of course; are these the right and
loyal words OF fellowship that the people are so
thankful? Yes the.subsdzed and gold inflated
press are still harping the past victory in words
that are far more bold and forward than before
McKinley's election. This cry of no Boosting has
got to that point where it is the ridicule of all
| good thinking citizens. The old saying Il have
heard the wind blow before applies very well to
them. Hash becomes distasteful after short
while, but too much Boosting, re-hashed news
items are worse than all. Boast and glorify, but
please stop the cry mo Boosting"

Indian and the swan sing death songs

factories are already at work OH the gar
ments of sack-cloth and ashes they will

the following little parody on Mark
Twain's Literary Nightmare" we will
rise and sing i'll answer to their boasting.
"The working men who voted for the
best money are now scratching their
heads over how to get Tx.
Scratch, brothers, scratch, "good money" is rare;
It's all in the pocket of the millionaire
But mark, brothers, mark,
Did you mark with care,
When you marked your ticket
For the millionaire?
Mark Hanna's licked you, marked with a X,
When you marked your ballot to please tn boss;
But mark, brothers, mark,
Did you mark with care,
When you marked your ticket
For the millionaire?
The 50-cent dollars are " best money" but rare,
They're all in the pocket of the millionaire.
And mark brothers, mark,
Did you mark with care,
When you marked your ticket
For the millionaire?
So dear brothers, hard times will stay,
For you voted to keep them on election day;
But mark, brothers, mark,
Did you mark with care,
When you marked your ticket
For the millionaire?

Dean.

Mrs. Mary b., wife of George E. Dean,
died at her home on Eastern avenue late
Friday night Of typhoid pneumonia.
Mrs. Dean had been sick less than two

great shock to her many friends. She
was 46 years old and the daughter of the
late Henry Mooney, who was formerly
in business here. In 1874 she was mar
ried to Henry l.. Prince, who ran a

Mr.. Prince died, about 1882, his wife
continued in the mercantile business, con-
Quoting hair goods establishment. She

and built up large trade in her line. On
August 4, 1889, she married George E.

band, Henry w. Prince, now survive her.
Mrs. Dean was very active member in
the New England Order of Protection,
being supreme deputy of the state at the
time of her death. She was also an active
member Of Clover Temple, Knights Of
Pythias, and Green Mountain Comman-
derry, Order OF the Golden Cross. Dele
