the disability clause which allows n

aids in vote buying and intimidat-

cHILDRENs' DAY EXERCISES

Last Sunday was an ideal June
day and it seemed fitting that the
children should celebrate under
skies rs clear and with all nature
arrayed in her most charming garb.
The children with happy faces and
looking like dainty little sprites just
ont of elfin land, came with songs
which we're echoes of the gladness
which filled their hearts In the
Presbyterian church the service
used was entitled The Palace of
Song, consisting of songs and re
sponsive readings. The two recit
ations by little Emily Warner and
Maragret Hallett, of the infant
class, were very prettily rendered.
The church was flower bedecked,
and well filled with most sympath-
etic audience. During the service
two children of Mrs. George Jen-
nings were baptised.
AT THE NJ. E. CHURCH.
A large audience greeted the chill
dren in the evening, when the ex.
ercises took place, and the program
was most pleasing and instructiye e
consisting of songs, solos and re-
citations. Those taking prominent
parts Earl Brown, Vera Ryman, Lila
Dewitt and William Detrick who
recited and a recitation Steps Heav-

The Trouble in China.

The Boxers, who are just now the
occasion of so much disturbance in
China, and who are burning and
looting the country, are the out
growth of the former secret organ
zation called the "Great Sword So
ciety." This was ostensibly sup
pressed by the Chinese Government
because of its lawlessness but it inn
mediately converted itself into the
sect called Boxes. The powers have
landed troops in China and the pre-
sent situation is ominous, and may
eventually end in the disruption and
partition of that mighty empire.

Impending Merriment.

The date for the "Old Maids Con
vention" to be held in Browns Hall,
and to which reference was made in
our last issue, is the evening of
Thursday June 2Sth. The laughable
satire, given in Milford for the first
time, is announced by an appropri-
ate poster in the Post Office, and
the amusing suggestiveness of its
design is sure to be borne out by the
performance which will be given for
the benefit of the Church of the
Good Shepherd.
Seats are now on sale at Arm
strong's and Emerson's pharmacies
and all indications are that there
will be large audience.

President McKinley's instruction
to our Minister to China and to the
American Naval Officers in Chinese
waters as to the policy to be pursued
during the revolution in China, by
the Boxers" an anti-foreign secret
organization, are short, plain and
patriotic-"act in concert with the
naval forces of European powers
for the protection of American and
European lives and property, but
form no entangling alliances. " In
other words, the President is will
ing to have our Naval forces help
protect lives and property, but is
fully determined that the U. s. shall
not be dragged into any European
schemes having for their object in
reference with the internal affairs
of the Chinese government. That
is policy which every American
should be willing to endorse and
stand by, but, the Democrats are
already trying TO distort it 50 that
they can make political capital out
of It. Their desperate need for po-
litical capital makes them reckless
