TOWN TOPICS,
THE GOLDEN WEDDING.
OF MR. AND MRS BIRDsEY MCEwEN

One among the many pleasing Incl
dents Of life that lends it's charm to
declining years was the occasion of the
5Oth anniversary of the married life
OF our highly esteemed and much re-
spected friends, Mr. and Mrs Birdsey
McEwen, at their pleasant residence
on Bagburn Hill on Saturday, May II.
The occasion was made cheerful by the
many smiling faces of neighbors and
friends who in their happy ways and
sparkling wit as well as in keen re-
membrance of many tales of Eye olden
time," brought back fresh to the men,
ory many scenes Of youthful days to
provoke the mirth and hearty laugh.
There was also aroused the more
thoughtful and tender emotions that
sometimes brings the pearly, crystal
drop las each and all have their place
In the hearts fond remembrance, not
ing the varied phases that mark the
progress of our more or less eventful
lives. Mr. and Mrs McEwen have been
with us many long years, pleasantly
associated in our social relations,
friends Of the old-fashioned type,
friendly not for what you have but
what you are and 1t affords us un-
bounded pleasure to speak Of them as
they richly merit. We know Of no
more fitting expression than to say
we know them. And may we all be |
permitted a continuance of our pleas
ant social relations for many years yet |
to come. Among the many who came
to gladden. the heart at this the "Gold-
en- harvest" we find Mrs Gertrude
McEwen, Mr. and Mrs Walter S. Brad
ley, Mrs Matte bradley O'Brien, Mrs
Bartholomew Hartnett, Miss Annie
Hartnett, Miss B. Mae Hartnett, Miss
Marcia Taylor and many others and
after day Of social gladness
who shall feel happier than our "gold-
en- crowned" friends. Good friends
we hope to see a diamond crowning
your next wedding celebration.
Oh yes, lot diamonds crown thee bright
Like jewels sparkling in the light
In honest friendship ever rare
May it ever be with you to share.
Fifty years, it seems 80 long
Since you sang the wedding song
Fifty years, oh, what it tells
Since you rang those wedding bells''
Those fifty years, SO full Of care
Clouds and sunshine everywhere
Brings to all who chance to see
What in life we all should be.
Those fifty years. they speak SO true
The "tale SO old" yet ever new.
Yet few there are that wed to-day
That ever care or mean to stay.
But when we find in life so true
The spirit that we find in you,
Then let US sing the hymn Of praise
And heaven bless your futnre days.

The following letter from Archdea-
con B. M. Spur of Trinity Institute,

G. T. Linsley at Trinity church, Sun
day morning. The letter follows:
Mr. Dear Mrs Linsley:-Our thanks,
to you and your fellowworkers whose
gracious thought and earnest work
made us the happy recipients of a most
excellent barrel of clothing, sheets,
pillowcases, all of which will mean the
material Tightening of our work and
give me renewed courage for every
coming effort. If you could only have
sent some receipt whereby grateful
hearts could express their most earnest
and devout Thanksgiving, I. should
have been far happier for when we see
your gifts one by one unpacked and
know for certainty how much cheer
theyImust of necessity give, it makes
the pleasure of acknowledging your lov-
ing thought one beyond human ability
to perform.
Everything you have sent means
cheer and help and a practical daily
blessing, and from our heart of hearts
we thank you and most ardently pray
Almighty God to return your mercy
and love thousand fold and bless each
one that has helped us with every
needed or consoling gift. With kind
est regards and appreciation permit
me to remain, Most faithfully yours,
lB. M. Spur. May Is, 1901.

TARIFF PROBLEM IN THE ISL
ANDS.
Tacoma News.

Tacoma News.
The supreme court has not yet decid-
ed the cases which have been argued
before it involving the constitutionality
Of special tariff Legislation for Porto
Rico and the Philippines. The practical
question before the court is whether or
not the island possessions which the
federal government Acquired under the
provisions Of the treaty of Paris are
now a part of the United States and
subject to the constitution and general
laws. The constitution vests in con-
gress the power TO lay and collect tax
es. duties. imports and excses, TO pay
the debts and provide for the common
defense and general welfare of the Unit
ed States" but declares that "all du-
ties. imposts, and excises shall be uni
form throughput the United States"
If the supreme court should decide
that this provision of the constitution
applies to Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, there would be decided change
OF sentiment as to the desirability os
their acquisition. In fact, some almost
insurmountable difficulties would be
presented. President Schurman, in an
article in Golfers Weekly, says that it
does not seem feasible in any way to
assimilate the tariff of the Philippines
to that of the United States. The two
tariffs are today as far apart as are the
corresponding economic, industrial and
social conditions of the two countries.
Two-thirds Of the total value Of the
imports of the Philippines consist Of
rice, cotton yarn, nails and wire, steel
rails. petroleum, drugs and chemicals,
paper, silk, spirits and still wines; and a

Agunaldo thinks that American gov
ernment of the Philippines, in order TO
be satisfactory to the Filipinos, must
conform strictly to the constitution. II
he were the astute statesman which
the antis affirm he is. he would un-
derstand that the same thing would be
essential to make American rule in the
Philippines satisfactory to TIE American
people. We have not yet reached the
point where We are willing TO see our
officials override that foundation OF our
Institutions and because Of our faith in
the present Administrations course as
constitutional it was reelected.
