Republican Editorial Association.

The Maryland Republican editors
| appear to have had rushing time
at the capital of the nation last
week, which they took in on their
annual business meeting and
ljunket. Brother Post, of the Ap-
peal, had to support the dignity of
Cecil on his broad shoulders all
alone, the Hercules of the Wing
apparently having been absent, or
at least not officially present at the
White House reception. Mr.. Nc
Kinley and Secretary Gage were
| highly delighted with the loyalty
of the Maryland editors, the Secre.
tary being quite overcome by the
expressions of warmth for his treas
ury financing. When. our Mary.
land editors lay out to do the swell
act they do it. Brother Post of the
Appeal gives the following graphic
description of the affair:
"After the adjournment of the
business meeting the association
was entertained at lunch in the
htnquet-room of the hotel by Pres.
ident Warner. Addresses were
made by large number of the
members of the association, and
others, including Congressman
Baker, this district. The members
of the association then went to the
Executive Mansion in body and
presented the resolutions to Presi
dent Mckinley, to whom ad-
addresses were made by Messrs.
seabrook and Warner and Repre-
sentative Pearre. Secretary Gage
met the association in the East
Room, and was presented with the
commendatory resolution passed by
the association. Secretary Gage
was visibly affected, and responded
in a manner which showed his high
appreciation of the sentiments of
the resolution.
"Mr. Warner has long been
known as one of the public spirited
citizens at the capital. Doing so
much to make the newspaper rep
resentatives' visit one of rare en-
joyment was simply Characteristic
of the man, his forethought and
liberality greatly adding to the
pleasures and success Of the
OCCASION"

Sag Ii arbOr.

James A. Herne in "Sag Harbor"
comes to the Grand Opera House to-
night. So much has been said and writ
ten about this latest play by the distin-
guisned autnoractor, not only in New
York, but in Boston and Chicago as
well, where he also made long runs last
season, that all theatre goers must have
heard much about the exquisite qualities
of this homely love story Of the rugged
New England coast, and of the really
marvellous characterization which earned
from papers like the New York Sun, the
Boston Transcript and the Chicago
Times Herald such enthusiastic praise.
The play has just closed a three months
run at Hammerstein's new theatre, the
Republic, in New York city. There has
been large advance sale and the in
dications are that a large and fashion
able audience will be present.

HAIR lNSOLES

SWEATY FEET.-Persplration is a
necessary waste which benefits the sys-
TEN by eXpelling poison, but it soils
and makes ain irritant of anything worn
on the body. If HAIR INSOLES are
worn through the day moisture from the
feet will drain through the top, ur halr
part. leaving it dry, and at night will
be found at the bottom Of the sole. which
will be wet. Hair will not hold mos-
ture, but cloth and leather will. Shoes
soiled by perspiration rritate the feet
and cause trouble. Perspiration il most
constant in the feet because the pores
are larger and more capable of absor-
ption, and relief is had at once by wear
ing Hair lnsoles.
RHEUMATICS, INVALIDS and
others will obtain great help from these
Insoles, which ease and harden the feet
by keeping them dry, and preventing r-
ritation; they make springy cushion
and prevent jar in walking and thus
take the place of rubber heels. Price

STONE HOTEL GUEST LIFTsAy

Frank Hennessy, Sheriff Wander
marks star boarder, who received
his discharge Tuesday, desiring a
souvenir in remembrance of the
pleasant memories connected with
his stay at the Stone Hotel, as well
as of his landlord, and that individ-
ual Icing averse to part with a lock
OF his bair, the boarder quietly pos
sessed himself, just before the time
appointed for leaving on Wednes-
day, of a andsome steel engraving
which the Sheriff carried in his
coat, ana which il would cost Just a
Y to replace In fact it was five
dollar bill The Sheriff had left his
coat containing the money hanging
in the Jail parlor and just prior to
the time when he was to convey his
guest to Port Jervis he missed the
money. The Sheriff made an excus e
to go down town and left his ex-
boarder sitting in the wagon No
sooner had he started than H nncs
sy, thinking some other place more
enjoyable, also left and took across
the fields towards the woods. The
Sheriff soon returning espied his
former ward running away and Civ
ing chase soon overlook him. A
short tussle ensued during which
Hennessys immaculate collar and tie
were somewhatmussed and his back
scratched with briars. He was
brought back and after acknowledge
ing, on bended knees and with tears
in his eyes, the lapse of morality
coughed up part of the money, which
he gave TO Warren Chol who had
changed the bill, which was identifi
ed by the Sheriff, it having a tear in
the centre, and the Sheriff having
recovered il from Warren.
Hennessy was then allowed to de
part the Sheriff not desiring topros-
ecute, but shonld he again become
an inmate of the famous old hostelry
during the lncumbency of its pre-.
sent keeper he my rest assured
there will be warm corner reserved
for him.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. PAUL VERDrER.

After life reaching far beyond the
allotted period this very estimable old
lady passed peacefully away Sat
urday April %, at her home in Mil
ford, the immediate cause Of death
being pneumonia. Hermaiden name
was Louise Amable Sequetini and she
was born in Paris, France, where in
the latter part of 1917 she married
Paul Nerdier. Soon after, Jan. II,
1913, he with his bride of two weeks
sailed for new home in this country
and landed in New York. There
they remained for fifteenyears coming
to Milford in1S63. Mr.. Verdier died
May 19, 1878 and since that time the
deceased with her only daughter,
Josephine, who survives her, has
continued to reside here. Funeral
services were conducted Monday in
the Catholic church by Rev. Father
Treis, and the remains were taken to
Greenwood cemetery Wednesday and
laid beside the husband, and son
who died many years ago.

Dor. Talmag. on woman,s wages

Rev. ID. Talmage, in a recent SER
mon, eloquently denounces the low
wages paid to women. He asks:
"Why is it that a female principal in
a school gets only 1925. for doing
work for which a male principal
gets s165O." Incidentally, DIR. Tai
mage expressed the opinion that wo-
man suffrage would not help the
matter.
In Wyoming where women vote,
it has for many years been the law
that all men and women in the em-
ploy of the State shall receive equal
pay for equal work. In Utah, the
news that full suffrage had been
granted to women was quickly fol-
lowed by the announcement that the
Legislature had passed bill by which
female teachers, in the public schools
were to have the same pay as male
teachers, provided they held certifi-
Gates Of the same grade.
Dr. Talmage thinks that woman's
ballot would not help woman's wa
ges, because women, like men, often
beat down the pay Of women in theil
employ. Individual employers,
whether men or women, may Otter
be mean to individual employees
but the government does not discrim'
mate against its women employees il
States where half the voters are wo
men. A city government would a,
soon venture to pass an ordinance
that all Irishmen must work for hal
pay, in a city where half the voter:
were Irish. LAURA ID. EVANS.

Bows and Matches.

Probably many of the fires which
have a mysterious origin could be
traced to matches in. pockets of small
boys and to their habits of cigarette
smoking, if the real truth could be
discovered. These pernicious habits
the former no doubt begotten largely
by the latter, are greatly in vogue
among the boys in town. 1t is sur
prising to see with what alacrity
matches will be produced in crowd
of very small boys. Parents, and,
perhaps too, teachers in our schools
should investigate more closely in
these matters. There is little use in
trying to teach the baneful effect OF
narcotics on the system to a boy with
pocket full of cigarettes, who is
restless for an opportunity to get be-
hind barn or in some other out-of-
the-way place to enjoy the hidden de
light, and there is a constant menace
to property so long as boys indulge
in the pastime of carrying matches
That older gang which disport;
around and in by places with the
growleI should also meet with prompt
and effective discouragement. Our
citizens owe this duty to themselves
and the community.
