OBITUARY


The swift messenger, death could
not have alignted more suddenly,
nor perhaps to the minds of those
who saw and conversed with Mr.

to bis decease, more unexpectedly,
than when last Monday it bore him
away. For sometime be was affect
with hearS trouble and within the
past year bad been treated for the
disease. bat latterly he appeared in
ordinary heal tn, and probably had
no prenonitiou that his end was so
near During the day he was about
the streets and gave no evidence of
unusual healtb, when about 3: so
p. m. after playing with his children
he weat out of doors on some errand
was stcicten down aud expired al
most instantly. He was son of
the late Andrew and Mary Van Au-
ken, Armstrong, was born in Mil
ford about fifty-eight years ago and

The Finance Billagreed upon by
the House aud Senate Conference
Committee. which will probably be
come law without further change,
is considered stronger measure
than was either the House or Senate
bill. There was at no time during
the conference any difference be-
tween the republican conferees as
to the object sought-to give the U.
S. the best financial system aud the
highest credit the weeks discus
sion was on how best to accomplish
that, and the result is success, aud
an improvement upon the bills as
passed by the two branches of Con
gress. Senator Aldrich will, on
Wednesday, of this week, make
detailed statement of the work of
the conferees, explaining why
changes were made, and on Thurs
day the Senate will vote on the re-
port, which will be adopted by the
same vote that passed Financial Bill
ten days ago.

THE MEMS SUPPER.

This event by reason of its social
and financial success deserves more
than the passing and hasty notice
given it last week. Its inception may
he attributed to the fertility of the
ladies i'm devising schemes to aid
worthy objects. and their quiet but
efficient aid and valuable suggestions
assisted greatly in many of The culin-
aiy details. The men, howevel, en-
tered into the project with hearty
good will and evinced much enthu-
siasm at the very out sci. This sem
timent grew apace each vying with
the other in promoting the scheme,
and working for its success. All
who Were present can attest 60 The
satisfactory manner in which the af-
fair was conducted, TO The abundance
and delicacy of The edibles provided
and the cordial eception accoi ded the
guests. 1t would be invidous 90 COM
mend any as especially deserving,
when all worked with such good will
but perhaps 20 Tobias Nelson, chief
of the kitchen department, may be
asclibed much praise for The success
of that most essential part of the pro-
gham. His helpers were skilltul in
the work and ably seconded his eff
forts. Messrs. r. Warner and John
c. Wallace, Of the reception commit
zee. by theircordiality invited a pleas
ant humor and made all feel welcome
20 the repast. The young men who
served were alert and deserve laulels
in their new occupation, andl,for the
fastidious appearance of their tables
and the decorations.
The ladies were astonished at the
magnitude of Che affair and admitted
that aiier all some men were really
good for some hing though they had
not the etofole suspected it.
So enthused were the men who
participated with their effort that at
a meeting subsequently held in the
chul ch it was unanimously voted 10
have the supper annually he, eafter
on Washington's birthday and a per-
manent Iganzaiion looking TO that
end was effected. The people of Mil
ford may therefore e look fOI waid 20 a
year hence 70 see The mems supper OF
1900 eclipsed by that of 1901.
The total pl loceeds were S112.07,
the expenses $30.45 leaving a net
amount of $8r.62, which was donated
20 the Ladies' Aid Society and will
no doubt be judiciously appropriated
by them TO proper church purposes.
On behalf oS the men the PRESS
extends cordial ihaul,s 20 all who
honOred the occasion with their pres
ence or i'm any wise contributed 20 lis
material or social success. May you
and all your Fl lends live 20 bep esent

PAUPAC.

We have missed communication
from our Paupack correspondents
for few weeks past, and trust they
will soon again favor us. Perhaps
they are resting or have been unable
to obtain news of interest. News
does seem to have been scarce in
this section of late, aud for that
reason we are glad to receive from
our correspondents what little they
have to give.
Election passed quietly and order
ly. Nuch interest was taken in
LEGAL affairs aud large vote Cfor
this district was polled. Voters
met in considerable numbers and
passed the time pleasantly and
socially. In general the best men
were chosen for office without re.
gard to party. Our new squire has
worked hard and successfully, bat
has recovered much quicker from
his fatigue on account of his triumph.
He has grown somewhat since elect
ion, bo5h in bulk aud importance.
When be walks abroad the Earth
trembles and the bad boy lodges
behind fences and stone walls. We
expect to gain considerable knowl-
edge of the laws of our country, but
greatly fear that as he becomes
better known, the country will de-
mand his services in a higher STAB
ion, aud we will be deprived of his
services and teaching.
Oar newly elect School Director
intends to show the Board how easy
matter 1t is to conduct Che school
affairs of the District in the interests
and to the satisfaction of all parties,
and we look for this to become the
model District of the country. We
have selected apotber heavy man
for Judge (of Electjon). 1t is solid
men to the front with us this year.
One curious result of this election
is that the Republican inspector this
year, will be the Democratic inspec- :
tor next year. But that simply
goes to show the confidence the
people of this section have in the in
tegrity of each otber.
We have great trouble in obtain.
ing Tax Collector. The reason is
said to be that the perquisites do not
pay for the trouble but we are dis
posed to think that we have such
great sympathy each for the other,
that few of us can conscientiously
demand payment of excessive taxes
from bis neigbbors. Quite a sur
prise was the lightning and thunder
last Thursday, and on Sunday q
blizzard with the mercury lowering
around zero. Can it be that the
Administrator is to blame for such
weather?
Mrs. Augusta Bennett spent few
days in Scranton with her daughter,
Mrs. Adams, while Lewis Spangen-
berg took charge of her farm and
kept the chickens out of the barn.
Henry Clark has beeu confined to
the house for some weeks and his
family have been very solicitious
concerning his state of health. We
hope he will soon recover his usual
health, and that be will for many
years continue to enjoy the wealth
he has accumulated.
