DevOtees Os the Social God Complain
of Very Dull Week.
"Oh, this has been an abominally dull
week in a social way" was the way one
man put it, as he stroked his moustache
and looked bored. Nothing doing, you
know. Girls all resting up for Christmas,
l suppose" 1t goes without saying that he
Is a bachelor. For the enlightenment of
such as think the girls are resting let 1t be
proclaimed that they are doing almost any
thing else. From whence come the innu-
merable dainty trihes, think you, that find
their way through the mails at Christmas
time? Be it known those things are Gre
ated by the accused, and in many cases also
it requires the burning of midnight OIL
But while fingers are flying minds are busy
planning gayeties that promise to more than
atone for the present dearth of amusement
From the number of invitations already is
used Christmas week promises to be an un-
usually gay one.

Mrs. Peregoy left for a short trip through
the east. The rooms were artistically dec
Grated. The front parlor was bower OF
palms, bridesmaid roses and white chrysan-
themums. The briday party stood in the
bay window against a screen OF palms and
under a star of smilax from the center OF
which depended a bunch of white chrysan-
themums. The portieres between the rooms,
the chandeliers and pictures were wreathed
in smilax. In the back parlor mantel and
piano were banked with palms and pink car
nations. In the dining room crimson and
green we're tastefuly combined. The CEN

flowing with meteor roses. Strands of smi-
lax ran from the center to the corners and
around the edge OF the table in festoons.
On the sideboaTd and mantel carnations and
ferns were used. Assisting here were Mrs.

BUFFALO, N. Y, June 2O.-Nothing
developed during the day affecting the
dock situation. The freight handlers
held largely attended meeting and
those present exhibited determination
to stay out until the railways agree to
pay them 30 cents an hour for over
time. They expect the other dock
workers to stand by them.
On good authority it was stated that
the railway people will absolutely re-
fuse to change the rate Of wages they
are paying to the men. The superin-
tendents at the different freight houses
say that if the present demand of the
men is granted there is strong proba-

will be found in a few days. Therefore
they have decided to fight it out with

TRUSTS AND IMPERIALISM,
Talk of President Adams to Wisconsin
University Graduates.

Talk of President Adams to Wisconsin
University Graduates.
MADISON, Wis, June 20.-Two thou
sand students and townspeople heard
the baccalaureate address delivered by
President J. Kendall Adams to the
graduating class of the University of
Wisconsin. His subject was ''Irresist-
IDLE Tendencies" and his remarks on
trusts and on the imperial policy of the
United States were pointed and sensa-
tional He said regarding trusts:
This great fact has been universally
recognized that in every free country
com binations have been the distinctive
feature of modern industrial life and
they have been a result in no country
but free country. The tendency has
been irresistible, because it has been
the logical sequence and outgrowth Of
individualism and invention. For ex-
ample, within a few years after the in
vention Of the telegraph there were 100
companies and dispatch from the sea-
board to the Mississippi had to pay
tribute to a dozen different corpora
lions. A law to prevent their combina-
ton would not only have done violence
to the
Principles of Individual Liberty.
but would also have continued to levy
an unwarranted tax upon the COM
munity.
What took place in the consolidation
Of the telegraph lines has taken place in
thousand other spheres. The great
railroad lines, the steamship corpora
tions, the mining interests, the iron and
steel industries, even the department
stores, are the natural, the inevitable
outgrowth of prevailing conditions.
The tendency is as irresistible as it is
natural"
While expansion has it's evils, Presi-
dent Adams said, they are far out
weighed by the beneicient civilization
influences accompanying it. ...,-
"While we may deplore and de-
nounce it as selfish and brutal he said,
1--WE yet cannot deny the fact that
among nations, as among animal life,
there is a tendency which appears to
amount to a law that the most worthy
shall grow and extend its influences
while the less worthy shall diminish
and finally perish" %-.~s. =

AFTER GENERAL MERRIAM
New York Central Labor Union
Demands His Courtmartiai.
OVERREACHED HIS AUTHORITY
Say He Was Sent to the Occur d'Alene t.
Preserve Order and Not to Black
list Union Mon.

New YORK, June 20.-The Central
Labor union has passed a resolution in
structing its secretary to write to Presi-
dent Mckinley and the war department
demanding the recall and trial by
courtmartial of General Merriam be-
cause of his policy regarding the strik-
ing miners at Occur .d'Alene, Ida. A
committee was also appointed to draft
resolutions denouncing General Mer-
RAM.
This action Of the Central body was
inspired by the reading of the reply
from the war department to a letter
asking if General Merriam's orders to
the mine owners to employ no union
men had the
sanction of the Department.
The reply was written by Frederick G.
Squires, confidential clerk to Secretary
Alger, and inclosed copy of instruc-
lions sent to General Merriam on May
81. These were as follows:
"You will instruct Major Smith,
commanding at Wallace, that he is to
aid the United States troops simply to
perserve order. Those were your orig
inal instructions. The army must have
nothing whatever to do with enforcing
rules for the government of miners OF
miners unions. That is matter for
the local authorities to deal with"
