Reception Given in Bermuda

Reception Given in bermuda
One of party of Morristown people
has sent the following account of an
event of national interest which occurred
on Americas latest holiday: The fea-
ture of Washington's birthday at Ber-
muda was reception and ball given to
Admiral Sampson and his officers of the
United States war vessels New York and
Indiana by Americans visiting Bermuda.
Upon receipt of information that the
squadron would arrive on Sunday, the
10th inst, meeting was called, at
which guests of the Hamilton and Prin-
cess hotels and American cottagers were
present. A committee of arrang ements
was appointed as follows:
Rear Admiral ]. H. Upshur, U. S. NJ,
chairman; w. Maxwell Greene, U. s.
Consul secretary Major Henry c.
Meyer, Colonel james Ct. Butler, Isaac
Iselin, j. A. Hartman, Major Richard
l.. Annesley, Grinnell Willis, r. W.
Emerson, Abbot l.. Dow, f. w. j.
Hurst and Ethan Allen.
The steam tug Triton was chartered to
convey the officers from Grassy Bay,
where the war ships were anchored, to
the wharf at Hamilton, and carriages
were in waiting; the officers returned in
the same manner.
The reception began at 9 o'clock. Re-
ceiving with the admiral and his officers
were Admiral and Mrs. Upshur, Consul
and Mrs. Greene, Vice Admiral Sir John
Fisher, K. G. B., commander-in-chie of
Her Majesty's fleet on the North Ameri-
can and West Indies station, and Lady
Fisher. The ballroom Of the Hamilton
Hotel was prettily decorated with
American and English flags and brilliant
flowers. The band of the Worcestshire
regiment played during the reception
and in the supper room, and the orches-
ira of the hotel furnished the music for
dancing.
The officers Of the British army and
navy stationed in Bermuda and their
ladies, to the number of one hundred,
were present, the striking uniforms of
the officers adding very much to the
brilliancy of the occasion.
About one hundred and fifty Bermu-
dians, including prominent government
officials and representative residents of
the island, were also present as invited
guests, and with the army and navy
officers joined heartily in making the
affair complete success. Their cordial
cooperation was most thoroughly appre-
ciated by the Americans.

BUTTER OR SUBSTITUTE?
Two Dover Merchants Accused of UnIaw-
full Sale of OIeomargarine.

Two Dover Merchants Accused of UnIaw-
full Sale of OIeomargarine.
In the Court of Quarter Sessions on
Friday last, Judge Vreeland presiding,
two oleomargarine cases were heard, in
each of which it was claimed that this
article had been sold for butter Fred
Angle, a clerk in Roberts grocery,
Dover, was the first defendant. The
complainant was Dairy Inspector Van
derhoof, who said he had asked for
oleomargarine at Roberts store on
November Z, of last year While the
clerk was upstairs the dairy inspector
claims to have gone in the cellar where
he procured two samples of what was
apparently butter and later received
samples from the clerk. On being sent
to the State chemist it was claimed, how
ever, that the product supposed to be
butter was oleomargarine. The inspec-
tors story was corroborated by Samuel
Smith, who had accompanied him on the
day in question.
The defense was that the inspector and
his companion had mixed the packages,
of which they had several when they
6ulSTSQ Lnc bLOIt. 4 nc u6lSUudUIS L6SIl+
fed that what they sold for butter was
that product and when oleomargarine
was asked for that article was sold.
Jonas H. Burchell, also Dover mer-
chant, was the second defendant. His
store had been visited by Inspector Van
derhoof and. Smith on the same day that
they had called at Roberts place Of bus
iness. Smith testified to having asked
for half pound of butter, and the clerk,
who was Burchell's son, had given him
an article which the State chemist de-
clared later was oleomargarine.
Young Burchell said the product had
been sold for oleomargarine and not for
butter. A tub, such as is required by
law for the substitute article, was ex-
hibited in court, and the defendants
claimed it was the only tub of the kind
in the store when the complainants had
called. The article sold, it was stated,
was from this tub. Vanderhoof and
Smith testified that there was no marked
tub in the store.
Decision was rendered in both cases
this morning. The charges against
Roberts were not sustained, but upon
Burchell fine of $100 was imposed.

The interviews which we publish be-
low are highly creditable to the brave

front at their country's call. They
manifest very different spirit from that
of the mercenary strikers hanging
around the State House at Trenton, re-
garding whom the CHRONICLE expressed
an opinion last week.
We would also observe that it is fact,
creditable both to themselves and their
employers, that without exception they
were restored to their positions after re
ceiving an honorable discharge from the
army:

their presence and will continue to be
polluted as long as their hateful names
besmear its list of citizens. They
should be ostracized from decent society
