The last party of the season (among the
city visitors of this place. was given Aug.
81, by Mr.. and Mrs. Leon S. Dexter at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. John l.. Morse,
the occasion being the seventh anniversary
of the marriage of this pleasant young

the entertainment of the 20 or more guests
embraced some very amusing features, and
the evening was one of contagious jollity.
Refreshments were served, and when good

IN the death Of Garrett a. Hobart the
nation loses one OF the few men who In
recent years have administered the or
fee Of Vice President with distinction
Perhaps no Vice President since Han
nlbal Hamlin's time played a larger OF
more useful part In the affairs of the
contemporary administration than did
Mr.. Hobart. He went into office hold
ing the confidence Of the political lead
ers Of the east, and he soon succeeded
In winning similar esteem not only
from the members Of his party but
throughout the country, Entirely apart
from the discharge Of his routine du-
ties as Vice President he was In re-
atty a valued and influential adviser
In the important undertakings Of the
administration. The position he held
as one OF the active forces In affairs
at Washington testlfes 90 his positive
character, his large abilities and his
faculty for securing and holding con-
hdence.

The death Of Vice President Hobart
creates no hiatus In the presidential
succession. Contingencies Of this
kind have been amply provided for.
The Forty.nlnth Congress passed an
act defining the succession, which was
imperlled by the murder Of Garfield.
II provides that in case Of the rcmov-
al, death. resignation or inability OF
both the President and Vice President.
II there be no secretary Of state

succession is: The secretary OF war,
attorney general. postmaster general,

the interior" The establishment OF this
line Of succession. It viii be observed,
preserves the political integrity Of the
administration and avoids the repeti-
ton Of what happened through the
death Of Lincoln, as Il Is reasonable
10 suppose that the President. when
forming his cabinet, viii choose men

himself.

well known he would not have been a
candidate FOR reelection. He was viz
tually out Of politics before his long
illness began, and his death. therefore,
makes no change whatever In the pollt-
zeal situation. The nation mourns the
loss not OF an ofice-holder, but Of a
citizen Of the highest rank and the
truest patriotism. Such duties, public
or private, as deyolyed upon him were
fulfilled with a fidelity that entities him
to the honor OF his cOuntrymen, and II
IS with that feeling the people receive
the news Of his death and extend their
sympathies TO all who were near and
dear 10 him.

An old Latin saying, Laudant quod
non Intelligent (They praise what they
do not understand), was once illustrat-
ed by an English tourist who happened
into the Lutheran church at Elsinore
one Sunday morning. The tourist did
not know word Of the Danish Ian
guago, but he wrote: 1.-THE clergyman
had a quiet earnestness of manner and
persuasive eloquence that pleased and
attracted. I admired the discourse, al
though l did not understand word of
it.. The book from which we have
copied this illustration of a common
practice tells the following amusing
story of Dutch audience listening to
one of Shakespeare plays:
l will tell you, such is de powers of
de Shakespeare, that Ivunce saw play
de great man acted in Anglish, in Hol-
land, where der vas not vun person in
all de house but myself could onder-
stohd it, yet dere vas not person in all
dat house but vat vas in tears-dat Is,
all crying, blowing de nose and weep
very mouch; couldn't onderstond vun
vurl of de play, yet all weeping. Such
was de powers of de Shakespeare
