AN EMPRESS GARDEN PARTY.
Japan's Annual Celebration of the Bios
soming of the Cherry Trees.

Japan's Annual Celebration of the Bios
soming of the Cherry Trees.
Mrs. Robert p Porter writes in The
Ladies' Home journal of "The Garden
Party of an Empress, picturesque func-
ton which she attended during recent
visit to Tokyo given in honor of the bios
soming of theNSherry trees. 1.-THE guests"
she says, numbering 600 or 700 repre-
senting every phase of foreign visitor, had
all assembled in the magnificent garden
adjoining the palace, and, as requested,
formed in line on either side of the broad
path leading from very beautiful bridge,
over which the empress was to walk on
foot, after entering on the other side of
the palace gardens. The ladies formed on
one side the gentlemen on tho other The
many brilliant uniforms, some of them
literally decorated and the variety of hues
of the ladies' dresses. with the rich back
ground of foliage and Towering trees, form
ed a spectacle that must have struck even
the imperial eye as dazzling Presently the
sounds of the national hymn could be
heard in the distance, as it was played by
the royal band. and a few minutes later,
In absolute silence appeared Mr.. Yosh-
itane Sannomiya, the master of ceremo-
MES, who preceded the empress and her
ladies, partly backing or walking sideways
with the greatest skill, up the open path.
AS the empress advanced she held her
self very erect and walked with an ease
and grace that were astonishing when one
remembers that she never wore European
dress until within recent years and grew
to maturity without her little feet touch
ing the bare earth. AS the royal cortege
passed by the empress cast glance, quick
and searching as lightning to the right
and to the left, apparently to see that no
one was neglecting to pay homage, which
consisted of the most profound salutations
Of which the guests were capable. Appar-
entity her majesty was pleased at the man.
Der of her reception, for a slight smile
touched her red lips, and she inclined her
head now and then most graciously. A.
soon as the last of the suit had passed the
ladies and gentlemen fell into line and
slowly followed the royal party through
the long and fairylike walk of trees and
flowers and running streams until a large,
open sward was reached. Over its rich,
green surface was extended long mar
quee, under which ran tables literally dec
GRATED with flowers, fruit, CONNECTIONS,
flags and marvelously made dishes. -

COLD SPRING LODGE. NO. o..

Bro. George A. Wattles, past grand
chief templar, who is inspecting the
lodges in Bennington, Rutland and Ad-
Olson counties, met with Cold Spring at
their regular meeting on the 23d and
gave us many words of encouragement.
Bro. Wattles is not public speaker, but
his experience with the different lodges
which he has visited and of his 2s
years of lodge work was listened to
with marked attention. Bro. Wattles
has the honor to belong to the second
Oldest lodge in the State, Benz ington,
which has close rival in Cold Spring,
being only about two months its senior.
There were also visitors from Persever-
ance, Union and Triumph lodges.

Warrington, ID. c., Oct. 4, 1897.
Members OF the diplomatic corps under
sIoo.ai Instructions from their govern
ments, are keeping a close watch upon
the relations between the United States
and Spain concerning Cuba, and, one of
them consented to express his views
Aprovded his name was not used He
said: Il don't think that aither the
people or their press, with all
theilr shrcwdnu5s, und,erts tand the moves
that are being made in this Cuban bus
mess. The general impression is that
this country is working to bring about
the Independence of Cuba, with a view
to rs ultimate annexation, In my op:n-
ion, and in the opinion of many of my
fellow diplomas, That is entirely wrong
/ have reason TO believe that the propo-
siticn made by the United States to
Srain. which L believe to have the NOR
al support if not the material support
of Great Britain, does not go further
than bringing peace to Cuba, in order
that the comm0rce of this country and
England with The island may be re-
Stored to it's former Size. In other words
1t is q question of dollars and cents and
not Of favcrittsm or sentiment believe
further, that the new Spanish Cabinet
VIII be favorably inclined to this propo-
sition, hut that doesn't nlS<an tb.t it will
be- or can be carried out. There are two
rsb9tacies-ssrious ones. First, that the
Cnfans have lest no opportunity of pro
