The hall was decorated in the national
colors n mall chinese parasols were
hung from the ceiling, giving a very
pretty effect. The berrie sand cream
were served on the spacious stage at the
rear of the hall. The tables were ar
ranged so hat plenty of room was given
to every one who sat down at them to
eat the delicious cream and berries. Each
table was lighted with a large piano
lamp with a handsome colored hade, and
large palms were artictically arranged
about them.
Holden's orchestra furnished the dance
music. The oppressive heat did not seem
to have any effect upon the dancers.
Every time the orchestra strucsk up a
waltz or two step, the waxed floor was
well filled.
The ladies in charge were Mrs. Gossen-
berger, president; Miss A. McGovern, sec
rotary; Mrs. J.. Mccormack, treasurer,
Misses A. and K. Byrne, Misses M. and
K. Baxter, Miss NJ. Collins, Miss L. Con-

Trust. and State Revenue.

A fine object lesson for the antitrust
shouting fends will be found in todays
dispatches from Trenton. The state
Board of Assessors has filed its first
schedule by the miscellaneous corpora
tons Incorporated under New Jersey
laws. From this it appears that 2.SSS OF
these wicked, souliess trusts have paid
the State during the past year s0l,2H.S4
and there are about 5000 more companies
to hear from. This is the source Oh
revenue which such ~demagogues as Bryan
and the %garrulous old lady who presides
over the editorial establishment of the
Trenton True American would have us
give UP for sickly sentiment based upon
q misunderstanding.
What we want is free trade, and h
the trusts will be harmless.

COOL DRINKS At CENTENARY
They We're tho HARMLESS Kind That
Go With Strawberry Festivals.

The strawberry festival and entertain
ment given by the Ladies Aid Society OF
Centenary Methodist Church last evening
was an enjoyable affair. The participants
looked far cooler and far happier than
the throngs of people who sweltered in
Hamilton Park adjacent. The lecture
room. in which the festival took place
was comfortably filled and iced beverages
prepared by the society and served from
a table beautifully decorated with white
and green were in great demand during
the progress of the entertainment AS q
result the receipts were considerably
augmented.
After the entertainment ice cream and
strawberries were served n a delight
full time spent in social intercourse. The
programme was principally of a musical
character, and as Mr.. John NJ. Ward,
the popular superintendent ofthe Sunday
school and choir director. humorously
put 1t, was a sort of "Ward-Bailey" con-
cert.
The programme opened with a piano
duet, s'valse B~rilliante," by Mrs. John
E. Bailey and Miss Ada NJ. Ward; Miss
Lavinia NJ. Ward sang a contralto solo,
which was followed by a selection from
the vocal trio, Mrs. John E. Bailey, Ada
NJ. Ward and Lavinia Ward; recitation
by Mrs. C. NJ. Van AIKEN; tenor solo by
Mr.. John E. Bailey; tenor and alto duet
by Lavinia NJ. Ward and Mr.. John f.
Bailey; piano duet by Mrs. John e. Bal
ley and Mis- Ada NJ. Ward. Miss NJ. Ward
was the a-ccompanist.

High School Gym. Costume.

TIL city can now possess itself In
patience and settle down to the necessary
task of trying to keep cool. The most
momentous question of the day has been
decided and the great source of worriment
and agitation has been removed. The
young ladies of the High School gym
nasium class have selected their suits
These we are solemnly informed are to
consist of s'two or three pieces" which
ever the young ladies may desire. This
means, we are authoritatively told, that
the suit or uniform shall consist of a
waist, boomers and if the young ladies
wish a skirt over the bloomers-not as
some persons believed that the bloomers
count as two pieces.
The young ladies of the gymnasium
class of the High School are to be con-
graduated upon having settled this mo-
mentous question as amicably as they
have. Although their deliberations were
behind closed doors, we are credibly in
formed hat the proceedings were dignif-
ed and harmonious. and reasons advanced
for and against two pieces apd three
pieces were most edifying and progressive.
The next question which these young
ladies will consider is whether they will
appear in public in the pieces, two or
three, as they prefer, or will fall back
on the old reliable graduation costume.
