The "Trip Around the World" Social
given by the B. Y. p. u. last Thursday
night was new departure and source
of much enjoyment to all who were
fortunate enough to make the journey.
The starting point was in Medicine
Lodge, represented by the Babtist
church. The first stop was in New
York-the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Z. Hall. Here an elegant supper was
served and if any of the passengers
failed to satisfy their appetites it was
no fault of the City's. The next stop
ping place was Ireland. at the resi-
dence of MIR. and Mrs. w. G. Sellers.
The passengers had only few minutes
in Erin's country and the fare consist
ed almost wholly of the popular Irish
vegetable. The meal was short but
the enjoyment during the brief time
amply replaced the deficiency. j. D.
Hahn as an impersopator of an Irish
hest and Mrs. w. G. Sellers in the role
of Mrs. McCarty, were superb. The
passengers next took sail for Japan
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Davis.
Tea and waters were the bill of fare
here and the sights strictly in harmony
with Japanese style. After exchang-
ing courtesies in the old countries the
sight seers returned to America and
called at the White IIouse--the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. @. Chandler-where
they met President aud Mrs. Mckinley
and Admiral and Mrs. Dewey. Jerry
Gano impersonated the President and
was dead swell in o new Prince Al
bert coat with the latest neck wear to
fit him up right. Miss Essie Lindiey
was Mistress of the White House and
Troy Stockstill and Miss Jessie Rankin
unprecedented the Admiral and his
wife. The Admiral was in full uni !
form and presented yer dignified APP
pearanoe. Ice cream and cake were
served here. This ended the journ-
ey and the rest OF the evening was
devoted to parlor am usements. There
were five trains, not wreck during the
entire journey and more merriment
than Could be reteld. The members of
the - Y p. U..received the congratu-
lations OF everybody on the success of
the new and novel entertainment.

ROYAL AMATEURS.

Many members of the royal families
practise with more or less proficiency
drawing, painting and sculpture, while
the number of royal photographers Is
legion. The Empress Frederick, Prin-

Duchess of Argyle, is chiefly occupied
by modelling; she is as well, however,

have special talent in caricature, and

A CHANGE.

Not long ago there was such prosper
ity in Germany that it seemed probable
that she would burst her buttons, but
there has been a change. Yesterday,
in the Reichstag, Baron Won Thielmann,
the Secretary of the Imperial Treasury
took a decidedly gloomy view of the
economic situation in Germany. He
said the situation had been undergoing
a radical change since summer, and
people must be prepared for number
of years to see a gradual shrinkage of
the inflated condition. The decline,
however, would not take the form of
general financial crash, as in 1873. This
period of diminished trade could not
pass without affecting the imperial
budget. Therefore it was necessary to
strengthen the reserves of the treasury
There's no country like the United
States of America. Just now there are
no indications that we shaft ever have
anything but more and more prosperity
here.

Those who are looking for an inn
provement in the Democratic party
will not be cheered by what Senator
Heitfelt of Idaho thinks about the stu
alton. His idea is that If there is re-
organization of the Democratic party
along the lines suggested by Carlisle,
Dickinson and others of that element,
it will mark complete separation
between the Populists and the Demo-
Gratis He does not think that such a
reorganization is possible, however,
and if the Democrats adhere to the
principles which they stood for in the
recent campaign the Populists will con-
tinue to cooperate with them, either as
an independent organization or through
the parties being merged into more
complete unity. The Populists, he
adds, are loyal to Mr.. Bryan and to the
principles for which they CON
tended during the campaign. Such an
organization as Dickinson and other
deserters from the Democratic party
proposed would, he says result 10 the
Populists acting Independently or bring

When a man buys eggs In this coun-

strictly Fresh" Fresh" and Eggs"
signs are of course reliable guides.
But, sad to say, in England some of
the dealers in eggs are not quite honest.
Their dishonesty has been noticed by
Edward Brown, Secretary of the Ma
tional Poultry Organization Society,
and he naturally writes to the Times
about it. 1t appears that some of the
English dealers in eggs actually hold
eggs laid in September and October
fresh But that isn't all, or the worst,
Englishmen can put up with English
eggs, even if they are little aged, but
it is very shocking to them to find that
large crates of foreign eggs are regu-
larly consigned to English villages
where the home product is VIGOROUSLY
far more than enough to supply the

product, the usual ratio being fifty for

the whole is shipped and sold as gem

Briton a more startling revelation could
scarcely be made, and the matter will
probably receive the attention Of Par
lament at an early, date. Meanwhile,
Mr.. Browns society will do it's duty in
establishing depots where fresh-laid
eggs are collected and stamped with a
device which guarantees them to be
British and new-laid.
