Joseph Foster Friday afternoon in basin

being left there by the outgoing tide. The

quite at home in the large tank in the

band of women distant from US scarce

Union Of Saco to reply to the toast "Our

MRS. HAMILTON'S RESPONSE.
Most OF the ladies present were familiar
with Mrs. Hamilton and gave her
hearty round Of applause. Mrs Hamil
ton said she wondered why she was asked
to come to talk to the ladies. as she was
too busy to be literary, and too practical
to he sentimental, but perhaps it was for
reason which she could best illustrate
by story. This story was of a man who
lispsd and who, after being very angry
with lady because she had three times
asked him at what time a train went,
when he had repeatedly answered "Thix
minutes past thix.'' When she came the
fourth time and asked the same question
he said tho train has gone, and she an
swered, "Cb, l didn't want to take it,
my little girl wanted to see you wiggle

is perhaps why you want me. She con.
tinued very humorously, as to who "Our

down to sober word as to our duty to
them, and closed her response with
another capital story. The quartette then
gave two more charming selections:

Mrs. Hiram L. Jones responded in her
own sweet and womanly fashion with a
few hopeful words to the toast 'Our-
Selves "Our ideals are our better
selves" she said, "and sometimes we
bring them about in most unexpected
fashion," She closed her remarks by
reading little poem, "The Boy Van
Dyck," as an example in point.
Mrs. Frederick Moore then gave the
customary voto of thanks to the commit
tees of arrangements and decoration,
the railroad company, the musicians, the
caterer, and all who had helped TO make
the perfect day"
Mrs. Oscar Wish proposed a special vote
OF thanks to the women in connection
with the newspapers, and MRS. Frye
suggested that greetings should also be
sent to Mrs. Jennie June Crowley, and
Miss Hersey, our two honorary members.
Mrs. Crowley is confined to her room
with broken hip, and it Is the greatest
disappo intment to her not to be able to
go to Denver for the meeting.
After singing the "Star Spangled Ban

preston of pleasure were heard on all
sides for the ENJOYABLE and successful

deal of earnest feeling:

Bragdon took US as raw material and
showed us how wo should conduct our

see in how many ways we have improved.
Our "afternoons" are shorter, our reports
in fewer words, our extemporaneous
speaking more to the point and our ideas
marshalled in order and clothed in proper

that is. we are not SO afraid of the sound
of our own voices, and we are beginning
to remember that our listeners are our
friends, not wolves in disguise waiting to
deyour us with criticism and unpleasant
comment.
The GOODNESS with which we settle the
affairs of church and state, of peace and
war. the way in which we sandwich

Nine Hundred Patients.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
hospital for the insane was held yes
tcrday. The meeting was an impor-
tant one. All Of the members Of the
board were present except Mr.. Perry
Glenn. who had been called away
from the ely on account Of the death
of his brother. Hon. j. NJ. Glenn, Il
member Of the House Of Representa-
tivcs from Anderson Comfy.
The report Of the superintendent
showed that during the month Of Jan
nary .l6 patients had been admitted to
the hospital for treatment. This
makes the total number who are now
undergoing treatment 800. and is the
largest number which has ever been
reached since the establishment Of
the institution.
The affairs were found to be in a
prosperous condition, and the man
agcmcnt is to be congratulated on the
good showing made.
One Of the most important subjects
before the board was in regard to the
number OF negro patients, which is
unusually large. Steps are to be
taken whereby special attention will
be paid to the colorcd department in
the future, and the Parker building
will be utilized at once for the col
ored men.-THc State.

Sudden Death.

judiciary to-day killed the
bill to permit the State of
South Carolina to control liquors
brought into the State in original
packages. The motion to report il
favorably was lost on Il tie vote.
The action of the committee to. day
ends a long contest that has attracted
national attention. Ono &c the ;,r;n-
c'pa! objections developed is that it
would give the States the power to
control Interstate and
might lead to the invocation Of W
in the case of other commodities. Be
fore the direct vote was taken today
an amendment TO the bill providing
that the States should not discrimi.
nate against the liquor Of any particu-
lar State was adopted by Il vote Of I TO

tie vote, as it requires n majority to
report Il bill favorably.
