Fresh Air Entertainment.

The musical and literary enter
tainment given at West Noting
ham chapel last Monday evening
was of a high order and very pleas
ing to the few who were in attend
ance, the rain preventing the turn
ont which would therwise have
been present. MISS May Rodney
gave a number of literary selections
and the Allen family of Pittsbure
gave evidence of their rare musical
talent. The entertainment will be
given again this evening. The pro-
ceeds are to be devoted to the Fresh
Air fund of Baltimore for the pur-
pose of giving number of city
waits an outing at West Noting
ham this summer.

Walton the DeviIish.

| Senator Butler, Chairman of the Peo-
| pies Party National Committee exposes
the per6dy and treachery of Tom Watson
in statement of plain, unvarnished facts
so clear and so void of passion or bias as
should, and we think doubtless will, for
ever squelch this pestiverous little hot
head.
We were not little surprised when it
was announced that the National Conven-
ton had nominated Watson for the vice
presidential candidate of the Peoples
party, and felt instinctively it had made
the worst blunder it was possible to fall
into. We think it strange that so clear
headed man as Senator Butler should
not have taken the correct measure of
Watson's inherent smallness. His Geor-
gia campaigns, especially the famous one
he made in tie summer of IS, as a Jeffer-
son Democrat, was significant. In that
campaign which he made all alone, when
the political field was entirely clear of
excitement, he said not word about the
Populist cause, it was all Jefferson democ-
racy. 1t was clear he had the ambitious
idea of new organization with Watson
as its chief. Watson's whole movement
after that was in the interest of Watson
and nothing else. When he realized that
the peoples estimate of his importance
fell so immensely short of his own he
became literally crazed, as any one could
readily see who read the insane articles
he published weekly in his paper during
the campaign last fall.
AS for Dunning he was the most con-
venient tool and cheap man for a Job of
the kind it was possible to pick up.
We believe that every honest man, who
after reading Chairman Buffers exposure
of Watson's devilish frenzied acts and
purpose, will drop him or shun him as
pestilence. The "middle-of-the-ro roads,
are all worried with the maggot of noto-
riety which will soon be so manifest that
the wayfarer tho a fool will not err in
determining their true status. When the
dle-of-the-roads fail to be made lead
ers they hurry to sell out to the enemy.
They are the froth and bubble of every
reform movement.

The Usual Result.

A young and "prosperous'-no
doubt-farmer of Kent county
named Griffith Cliff, who had been
missing chickens from his poultry
house set a double barrclled gun
loaded with shot and pointed at the
door of the hen house. A couple
of cords were fastened, one on each
trigger and to the door, so that when
the door was opened the gun would
be discharged. He had occasion to
go in hurry into the hen house.
He Embossed one of the cords but
forgot to unite the other. Bang
went the gun and the charge shat
tered the bones of one of his legs.
His wife was in the carriage wait
ing for her husband when the
errand to the chicken house was
accomplished. One grain Of shot
struck her in the head.
The set gun with deadly intent
almost always shoots the trapper
but seldom if ever the thief. The
man who sets a loaded gun under
such conditions has the intent to
commit cowardly murder and we
believe the law views the crime as
a degree of murder. A charge of
powder only should be used in the
gun.

Forming our opinion from the
Mckinley newspapers accounts we
see no difference between the
Mckinley policy on the most i'm
portant questions and Cleveland's
discarded policy. They are the
same on the money question, on
Cuba and differ little if any on the
tariff. The present tariff is a trust
tariff ssand the bill which is being
worked slowly through Congress is
a trust measure. Mckinley is
more timid and weak in the back
than Cleveland. Wall street drives
Mckinley. The Street had to pay
Cleveland literally to get him tc
work for it.

w. c. T. U. Entertainment.

The w. G. T. U. of Rising Sun
held their annual silver offering
entertainment in the church on
Wednesday evening. The Golfer
ing" takes place at the door where
the visitor drops a piece of silver
on a plate. The first part Of the
entertainment was musical and lit
erary. The second social" The
church choir sang several pieces,
organ accompaniment, and Mr.. j.
e. Brumfeld rendered several
pieces on the violin. A chorus OF
little girls-well, there was one
boy-sang a "Water Song" which
was accompanied by clinking
glasses in the chorus. Miss Sara
Scott recited with much effect sew
eral pieces, cole Bulbs story"
selections from Shakespeare and
Eugene Field and "Singing
Joseph" The latter is a favorite
with the fair delineator which she
renders with marked effect. The
audience had the restraint of the
church holding back applause until
"Singing Josephn was concluded
when they could be restrained nc
longer and gave Miss Sara hearty
round of applause by hand clap
ping. Miss Scott was the star OF
the evening but the astronomer has
not yet appeared to determine its
magnitude, but Cupid promises tc
send him soon.
The second act in this pleasant
drama was performed in the room
below and consisted of lemonade
and cake with tongues all turned
loose. The ''silver oftering' of The
temperance lady soldiers was most
enjoyable fete.

Solemnly declares Biddle, the bland;
