WASHINGTON, ID. G., June 2.-(Spe-
cial.)-The Virginia senators have as
surances from the Republicans having
charge Of the tariff bill that the cent
increase per pound on tobacco will be
stricken out of the internal feature OF the

ANTI-CIVIL SERVICE.
y
lican politicians from the Eighth Congress
sional District of Virginia headed by the
Hon. Patrick Henry McCaull. who was
defeated last November by Mr.. Rixey,
called on the President to-day to enter
protest against the civil service law. or
al least against the law as IL is at present
6perated. They did not know exactly
what they wanted or how their wish was
TO be carried out. They knew the civil
service law stood in the way OF turning
the incumbents out, and OF preventing
hungry Republicans from getting in. and
they wanted to get rid OF 1t In some way.
They would not object to its repeal In
toto; or. If not that. an executive order
suspendlng its operation for limited
neriod and lastly and leastly. a mods-
fication, so as TO allow the smaller Try
Republicans TO get near the pie counter.
Mr. Mckinley received the delegation
ouite cordially. listened to them patiently.
and politely Informed them that ne wouiu
give the matter due consideration. Colo
nel NcCaull and his constituents then
Withdrew. but neither he nor they are
altoeether satisfied that their visit TO
the White House will have any effect
unon the civil service law or its present
operation.

CELEBRATED A GOLDEN WEDDING.


Mr.. and Mrs. w. :. Walker of East Middle
bury Have an Interesting Anniversary.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace $. Walker cell
ebrated the 50th anniversary of their
marriage Wednesday evening, Sept. 10,
at their home on North street, East
Middlebury. The house was prettly
decorated with cut flowers, asparagus
and goldenrod. About eighty of their
friends and relatives were present and
extended congratulations and best wishes,
many leaving more substantial tokens of
their esteem. Among their presents
were seen a handsome extension table,
dining chairs, lamp, clock, gold thimble,
two nice silk umbrellas, gold coin, a
$25 check. five dollar bill and many
other things too numerous to mention.
Mr.. Walker and wife acted as youthful
as any of their guests and enjoyed the
festivities greatly. A stranger hardly
would have picked them out among the
throng as being the host and hostess on
the occasion of golden wedding.
Among the guests were relatives from
Randolph and Mortified, Vt; friends
from Worcester, Mass, Bristol, New
Haven and Middlebury. Letters of
regret were received from many friends
from a distance. Among the number
was one from the only nephew of Mrs
Walker, now living in Wisconsin, who
is the only person living who was pres.
ent at their wedding in 1917. All pres
ent seemed to enjoy themselves and the
party did not break up until the wee
hours of the morning, all wishing Mr.
and Mrs. Walker many years continu
alton of their long and useful life.
