While others seemed to strike eiscord even in q
world like this.
There were many beautiful Co.'S
tunes worn by parties at the ball
representing legitimate characters,
and there were just us many Comic
subjects in evidence, whose fun
making proclivities amused the
onlookcrs and brought forth hearty
laughs from all. s'Topsy. whom
we have all read about in Uncle
Toms Cabin, was there in double
combination. These two characters
probably were the funniest on the
floor, but only remained short
time. Among the costumes worn
by the ladies' was u white gown
dotted with hnnd-painted butter
flies of different colors-n hand
some robe. Special mention can
also be made of costume repre-
senting ssQueen of the Night. 1t
was II black robe trimmed in silver
and a crown worn to match.
The Spanish gentleman was
represented by Mr.. Chas. Hobbs.
His suit was a handsome one.
There were SO many dazzling
costumes worn that it would take
u long description to mention them
all. However, the "Two Little
Girls in Blue" did not forget to
come and their dancing was MS
graceful us the song is ancient.
At midnight the masks were
taken off and supper announced.
The cottage hotel spread an ele-
CANT repast for the hungry ones,
and the way they operated was
evidence that they had dissected
many turkeys before that night.
Turkey alone did not compose the
supper, but other meats, cranberry
sauce, oranges, bananas, cake and
other good things disappeared
rapidly. The supper was good
one.
The music by the Eastonville
orchestra was satisfactory.
Messrs. McNamara and Willard
are to be congratulated on the
success of the affair, anG all who
were present arc praising the pro-
motors of the dance.

AT Hopeweli, near Calhan. the

by reasIing. They have quite a

ton Of Hon. II. NJ. Teller.
II is said that 10 live in Hawaii
costs one more than to live in
California, one reason being that
few of the ordinary articles Of
American diet are produced in the
island. Most of the meat is inn
ported; eggs cost 60 cents a doz-

The members of the X. p.
lodge at Falcon are not only gen.

mated many Christmas presents to

The Flag Must Not BE Hauled Down.

In his address at the laying Of the corner
stone Of the new State Capitol Of Pennsyl-
vania, Col. ALEXANDER MCCLURE expressed
eloquently the sound and true American
doctrine and feeling in regard to the pos
sessions won from Spain in the war:
"The same Auprcme power that demanded this
war will demand the complete fulAllment of it's
purpose. It will demand. In tones which mono can
misunderstand and which no power or party can be
strong enough to disregard. that the United statos
nag shall mover DO furlcd In any Spanish province
where IL has been planted by the haroism Of our
army and navy.
Call 1t Imperialism II you will; but It Ia not the
imperialism that 10 inspired by the lust of conquest.
IT 10 the higher and nobler imperialism that voices
the sovereign power OF this nation and demands tho
extension of our nag and authority over the provinces
of Spain, solely that government OF tho people, by
the pOoplo. and for the people shah uot perish from
the earth
"Such is the imperialism that has become inter
woven with tho destiny Of our great FREQ Govern
ment. and 1t will be Welcomed by our people regard
less Of party lines. and VIII command the oommen.
dalton OF thu enlightened powers OF the Old World,

uments OF freedom Aa the proclaimed policy and
purpose OF the noblest Government ever reared by .

This Is imperialism" the widening of
the domain of free institutions. Tho for

one people has put it into the power of the
Omitted States to liberate several peoples.

A Legend Of Ohio.

For moro thar twenty years the supposed
eaRerness Of Ohioans to hold Federal office
and their success in getting it have driven
remarks, and have become petriled conveL-
lions Of political humor. The great posts
to which 30 many natives or residents OF
the Buckeye reservation have risen and the
~undoubted genius Of the inhabitants for
politics have caused a half-playful half
bitter myth to grow. Some political pre-
destinationists hold that offices have been
created only In order that Ohio men may
I'LL them. Whenever an Ohio man gets an
appointive Federal Office the fact is flashed
before the public eye until there has come
to be q half belief among the credulous
that some special providence signs and
grants the applications of the multitudin-
GUS sons Of Ohio for a Government job.
A Washington correspondent Of the Gin
cinndti Commercial Tribune, the Hon. HAL D.
LANDoN, vigorously applies mathematics to
this romantic Ohio legend, and thereby
throws another bombshell into the camp
Of the critics who assert that the Ohio man
Is grabbing all the offices in sight" From
o table published by the Civil Service Com
mission Mr.. LANDoN drags forth statistics
fatal to the poetical fiction. 1t appears from
this table, which gives the number of ap-
pointments made in the apportioned SER
vice between July 10, 1893, and June
80. 1898. that Ohio was entitled to 1914 ap-
pointments during that period and received
only 3o9 "In other words" continues
Mr.. LANDoN, with a thorough enjoyment Of
his statistics, "0hio has had only 10 per
sent. Of the civil places to which it is en-
titled under the law" Whereas Maryland
has had 1o2 per cent, Navada 100, lively
young Oklahoma 100, and the District Of
Columbia 725 | So Ohio Is modest and not
grasping; and the District of Columbia
must succeed to the place Of the grasping
Ohio Of the legend.
MI. LANDoN's statistics are given purely
In the interest Of science. At the same time,
doubtless, he Is not unwilling that the bash
fulness Of Ohio as compared to the bold
storming of the offices by Oklahoma and
the District should be spread upon the
record. Further researches may justify
the theory that the legend Of Ohio office
grabbing was manufactured and has been
developed for their own benefit by crafty
citizens Of Oklahoma, Washington, and
other extra-Ohioan regions.
