On Tuesday from five to eight. Mr..

and smilax was wound around the
newell post and up the balustrade. Mr..

Dawes and Madame Curtice received
in the drawing room. Mrs. Dawes was
beautifully gowned in white lace over
white silk and Mrs. Curtice wore a
picturesque gown OF pink and white

co!ors used in the drawing room.
There we're vases OF sweet peas about,

served here, Miss Burr in white gown
presided at the refreshing bowl. She
was assisted by Mrs. Morrison, Mrs.
Alley, Miss Gahan and Miss Oakley.
In the dining room the theme of
color was mainly white. Mrs. Eames,
all in white. presided at a table laden
with an abundance of good things.
Salad and coffee, hot rolls, pickles and
radishes were served here. There were
pink roses on the sideboard and on the
cabinets. Mrs. Eames was assisted by
Mesdames Lew Marshall, Fred Howe,
George Woods, George GRANGER and w.
F. Kelley. Mesdamss L. c. Burr, Carl
Funse and Ogden assisted in the var
ious rooms. An orchestra played con-
tinually. The atmosphere of the re-
ception on Tuesday was particularly
happy. because it gave the friends and
acquaintance Of Mr.. and Mrs. Dawes
the opportunity to meet them again,
and there is true, short line that reads,
Friendship is the wine of life."
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hall gave a din
ner on Thursday for Mr.. and Mrs. R.
E. Moore who expect to leave Lincoln
on Friday for New York. and to sail
from there in few days for Europe.
The table decorations were vases of
graceful bride roses and a silver can
delabra with pink candles. A dipper
of seven courses was served. The in
vited guests were: Messrs. and Mes

this is the way of things in the old

No one will regret the shooting of
Gocbel more keenly than Governor
Taylor ana the Republican leaders Of
the state. 1t puts them in wrong
light that one of their followers should
so let his surging political zeal get the
better of him. The Republicans of
Kentucky. with whom the better elr-

Bryan in Maine.

This is not Mr.. Bryan'S first visit TO
Maine, nor is it likely to be his last.
He visited the State in the fall OF
1896. and. as it seems inevitable that
he should again be the Democratic
standard bearer, we hope he Will make
another call during the coming cam
paign. and once more assist the state
to roll up an unprecedented Republic
can majority. While there IS genuine
admiration for Mr.. Bryan among ms
faithful followers and great curiosity To
SEQ and hear him among all classes. it is
beyond dispute that this section OF the
country has no use for his political
theories. Bryanism has even smaller
show in New England, or in any SEE
ton for that matter. than 1t had in
1905 Free silver is dead issue, and
nothing can sever the name of the
fallacy He may attack an imperial
ism which does not exist and will
never exist, or he may attempt to
show that he alone opposes the misuse
of capital in great trade combinations.
but he cannot blind the country to the
fact that he is the free silver apostle
imperial trust of all.
The reception given him in Portland
shows that Maine, Republican strong
hold though it is, is courteous to the
prominent Democratic leader within
its gates. The State is glad to greet so
eloquent an orator. and to listen to Il
man who has thrilled SO many great
assemblies. Though his arguments
are fallacious and his epigrams mean
able speaker. with pleasing voice and
impressive manner. No private citizen
in America is SO we'll known. and the
fact that he is likely to remain a pri-
vate citizen does not keep the curious
crowds from thronging to hear him.
Never before in the history of our
country have a man and party stood
in such strange relations as those
now occupied by Mr. Bryan and tn"
Democracy Despite the hold which
he has upon the rank and file Of his
party. its intelligent leaders know that
