THE wave of prosperity has not re-
turned as speedily as was expected by
the election of Mr.. Mckinley, but it is
claimed that this could hardly be ex-
pected until the laws on tariff and finance
have been changed The late votes in
the Senate show that there are several
Democratic senators who will cast
their votes for the protective tariff
enough to secure its passage.
The Republican managers now hope
that the debate in the Senate will be
concluded within the next two weeks,
Notwithstanding less than one-third of
the bill has been gone over. They
have secured an agreement with the
Democrats that the sessions shall be-
gin at II O'Clock each day instead of ~
after to-day.
Debate on the sugar schedule of the
Tariff bill was continued in the United
States Senate on Saturday.
Republican Senators held a caucus
on Saturday with the object to be pur-
sued with regard to the Hawaiian Re-
ciprocity treaty in connection with the
sugar schedule of the Tariff bill. 1t
was decided to refer the matter to the
Senate Finance Committee.

CHILDENS DAY.
Interesting Exercises held at the Presby-
terian Church and at Jerman Chapel.

The Presbyterian Sunday School
held very interesting exercises last
Sunday morning before a large con-
gregation. The decorations were in
keeping with the occasion and June
flowers were tastefully arranged every
where. They were not of gorgeous
variety, but simple wild flowers which
we commonly see along the wayside.
The organ and table were banked with
field daises, spirea and asparagus
branches intermingled together while
around these and in the windows were
vases of roses, peonies, magnOlias and
laurel.
The music was a feature of the oc-
casion. An orchestra composed of
Mrs. f. f. Evans, organist, Miss
Grace Lloyd and Mr.. Carl Lloyd, violins
w. G. Anthony and Reuben T.. Denney,
comets, helped TO swell the volume of
the merry voices. The program
opened with professional, the differ

School room down the centre aisle and
up each side, where they occupied the
front seats of the church. Pastor j. L.
Estlin gave the invocation, a hymn
was sung by the congregation, fol-
lowed by a sweet anthem by the choir.
In clear destinct voice, Willie Gootee
gave the address of Welcome.
There were four destinct departments
to the program which were marked by
the following thoughts. "Kind
Hearts are the Gardens; Kind
Thoughts are the Roots; Kind Words
are the blossoms; Kind Deeds are
the Fruits" These sentiments were
shown by a large Chart displayed en-
titled "Heart Gardens" 1t was on
this theme that their interesting pro-
gram was based.

THE execution of James NJ. GOrdy at
Georgetown, Friday, was an event of
wider interest than our State and Pen
insula, and passed off without any dis
turbance, which could hardly have
been the case had the cause of justice
been interfered with, as is so often
the case. The morbid attraction in
such a gruesome event very naturally
attracted large crowd TO the place of
execution, though not to the scene
itself for this was restricted fortunate
" to a very few persons.
The belief was universal that GOrdy
was biganlist, a deceiver in every way
and a cold blooded murderer of his
wife for pecuniary gain, and yet he died
protesting his innocense, claiming that
he was the victim of conspiracy. No
less strange was the absence of feel
ing or emotion in parting for the last
time from those near to him from the
strongest ties of blood, and the delu-
sion that he was at peace with God,
ready to die, and singing Justify with
others, ''There'll be no parting there.
There was no safe place for living
man with such q cast of mind.

B. N. S. K. LAWN PARTY.
Adjourned for the Summer with a Brilliant
Social Festivity.

Social FestiVity.
A beautiful lawn filled with cosy
retreats among the mellow shade of
overhanging Chinese lanterns; a gor-
geous moon that sent a silvery sheen
over happy social gathering was the
romantic picture that fell over "The
Linden" on Monday evening last when
the b. NJ. s. X. through the hospitality
of Miss Beth Denney, closed for the
season.
The air was warm and balmy and
permitted all to enjoy the scene and
the splendid entertainment afforded by
these mystic maidens. The attend
ance, while not as large as usual, was
none the less brilliant by the happy
contingent of visitors who joined in to
make the occasion as merry as possible.
The Lawn received about the same
decorations as heretofore. There was
full quota of hammocks, rugs, sofas
etc, filling most every nook and cor
ner of the lawn. The lanters were dis
played everywhere making the scene
as enchanting as n romantic dream.
The entertainment in some respects
eclipsed former occasion. After all
had about assembled, a "Cobweb
Party" was announced and each mem
Der and guest with more or less dill
gence began to ''wind up their ball lit
tie of yarn" in search of the prize which
awaited them at the other end. To all
it was joke that afforded much amuse-
ment.
After this cards were passed around
with sentences suggesting some parts
of bicycle and it was the object to
solve as many of these as possible.
When this game was through the
guests were invited in the house to an
advertisement Party" Cards were
likewise passed around and the names
of the different advertisement from
their trade marks were solved. Fol
solving the greater number in both
games Miss Alice Cheyney, of West
Chester, Pa, received ladies prize and

GOVERNOR Tunnel, doubtless after

Chancellor last week. G. NJ. Cullen

Mr. Boyce is a new man but taken on
the Governors strong choice. Grubb
is better known as dispenser of poll
tics rather than law and equity, but all
the others are looked upon as men of
decided ability and candOr, and Della

Meeting adjourned.

Singers wanted! Not school children
only, but grown people, are needed to
make the singing on the Fourth of
July a grand success. We want every
person who can sing to help make the
rendering of patriotic airs one of the
features of the day. What a grand
effect it would have upon a proper cele-
bration of the Fourth, if four hundred
strong voices could be procured to
sing America, Star Spangled Banner,
etc. To sing well, we must practice.
Mr.. Price holds a rehearsal every
Tuesday night at 7.3O. So far mostly
children have been present, patriotic
friends come out and cheer us with
your presence, help to swell thevolume.
Every individual who wishes us to
have a successful celebration should
consider it his or her duty to heed this
call. Remember the night. Bring
your friends. Take part in the sing

THE sentiment of nOn-partisan iudic-
iaries is moro and more a growing one.
The judge should be representative
Of the law in its justice and right con-
struction, and to be anything else
when lifted to this high position is to
incur merited censure. In Philadel-
phia this is eminently so. Judge Cor
don was elected as a Democrat, but his
decisions have been so fair and in ac-
cord with the spirit of the law that he
is the choice of both parties. Sowith the

different from Delaware, where the
word 'judge" has been the very syno-

is hoped for under a new constitution.
Last week there was an election in
Chicago that turned largely OH the cleo
tion Of judges, the result being the
election Of sixteen judges on non
partisan ticket made up of ten Repub-
licans and six Democrats. The inde-
pendent voter who looked for the pub

Of events, and gave Chicago one Of the
best bodies Of judges to be found in the
country.

elective, would bring them into poll.
