GOVERNOR MAKERS
They Take an Outing and
Permit Themselves to
be Entertained In
the South.
Southern Brothers do Themselves
Proud to Entertain the Big
People Of the North.


Perhaps never before In the his
tory of the Hooking and Ohio Val
ley Editorial Association, the old
est and most influential organiza-
tion In Ohio, has there been plan
ed more successful and enjoyable
outing as was the one just past.
The outing was taken early for the
reason that upon the shoulders of
this powerful organization rests
the welfare of the state Of Ohio this
fall, and they thought to slip away
now before Foraker or Hanna or
Brice comes back with their "wad"
so that they might be in on getting

bluff about ave killed the bear"
You know II there is anything be-

men happened to be away, and
missed 1t, It Is considered an ire,
pairable crime for which he may
answer untold torture at the hands
of the craft. 30 1t was that the
time was fixed early.
On arrival Of the distinguished
body at Cincinnati, the queen city
was seog to receive them. Vast
muititudes gathered at the termln-
ais, each fighting the other that
their carriages might be honored
with occupants OF such distinguish
ed bearing. They were escorted to
the Palace Hotel, the name OF
which had been adopted on their
arrival, to be more ftting to the
occasion of entertaining such dis.
tinguished guests, the proprietor,
genial Mr.. Maxwell, knowing that
none but palaces would beft such

On learning Of the presence of this
erudite association, the. Electric
Railway company of the city i'm
mediately sent to Boston and had
several palace cars constructed and
and mailed to them. These cars
were embellished with millions Of
electric lights In all colors,
(the c0lors of the Association,)
and headed by a gold cornet band,
swung around TO the Palace head
quarters, playing softly, lest their
approach be not desirable. Tho
royal party wsre tenderly bourne
forth on Egyptian carriers, con-
structed for the OCCASION, and plac-
ed in the brilliant palace cars.
Darkened eye glasses were fitted to
their brows, to temper the brilli.

destination quickly reached
through the streets ofgapping com.

named for a:popular member Of the
royal party, which name had be-
come q favorite. AS the great en-
trance gates swung, the guards
bowed down, removing their silken
lids, formerly but worn on Sundays,
The beautiful lakes and trees, and
strains of music in this almost
celestial shrine, were made more
beaatifaI for the" occasion. Clean
water was tusned into the lakes
and gold fish dsrted to and fro, and
then fro and to again for the amuse-

passions of the silver enthusiasts OF
the regal party Vlich might have
been rufiled by the rushing 81 gold
fish. The great orchestra was
superb, more superb than usual.
One embellishment to which atten-

ranged In honor f.the royal party,
the Arst violinist had removed the
coarse horse hair ffosa his violin
bow and replaced 1t with camePs
hair, and the strings OF the violin
were of human tendons instead OF
the common cat gut. The clara
neiist spurned even 80 coarse

ed on wind. Fhs air ship was next
led out Of barn by rope, and the
royal party given a rare treat by
being permitted 10 imagin them
selves ascending. 1t was then led
back again, which was objected to
by one OF the legal lights as being
very leading.
On returning to our palatial
quarters, and bourne into the fitting
apartments, attention was called to

were gazing anxiously and jealous
