Abolis Halloween Nuisance

THERE may be a great deal of fun,
Halloween night, going around tearing
up peoples property and committing
deviltry generally, but we fail TO see it.
just why "A boy should behave himself
and be made to respect the property
rights of others for 364 days in the year
and then be turned loose the 3G5th
night 10 work his own sweet will in de
struction and malicious mischief passes
our comprehension.
Halloween was a very quiet night in
Saratoga, but it was owing to the fact
that the City Marshal and Night Police
man gave the boys warning that any
malicious mischief would certainly be
followed by the lookup and II heavy
fine. We are Of the opinion that this
matter of malicious mischief lies largely
with the parents. II they would dis
courage such work and see to it that
their boys were either at home, or some
place equally safe, there would not be
any occasion for police surveillance over
property on that night any more than
any other night.

The roar of cannon, the hiss Of shell,
The tread of armies. the battle yell,
And Gods voice answering, "All is wcll!'
Ay! All is we'll. This mighty sound of
war,
Which echoes and rebounds from sea to
sea,
Ii but the great crescendo at the close
y few more crashing chords, Il final
burst
OF loud s~taccatos then the hush OF
peace.
The worlds best thought has grown
ashamed Of war,
Where oncc 1t was the glory of mankind.
And warriors now seem like the player
folk,
Without the players talent and excuse,
Trickcd out in costumes, struttiug with
false airs,
\ part aud parcel of II passing show.
Ignohlc cnvics and malicious spites,
Uumanly Stritcs for precedence and
praise,
False standards and ambitions based on
self
These things are bred by military life,
The wise, progressive world will do
away
With armies and with wars, for they
belong
To untaught nations aud disorderod
times.

About forty guests assembled at
the residence of Judge and Miss
Rowen, at a quarter to eight, last
Thursday evening to celebrate Hal
lowe'n. They found the house beau
tifully decorated with apples and
arbor vitae, the latter having come
from the old homestead at Jackson
vile, ILL.,, having been sent on especi-
ally for the occasion. Three Jack o.
Lanterns, made of pumpkins, gave
out their ghostly light and lent a
charm to The occasion by their broad
and comprehensive smiles.
A number of tempting apples
were swinging by strings, tied to the
portiere curtain pole between the
rooms, and the efforts to get a bite
from a swinging apple were quite
amusing. Apples and nuts were
passed and a "Chamber of Horrors
was opened up and every one ground
through it. Judging by the shrieks
that came from it now and then it
must have been a vertable nightmare
indeed.
After the guests We're seated, ready
for refreshments, what looked to be
slices of delicious cake were passed
and found to be sailed corr bread.
Then Mother Goose appeared with a
lot of doughnuts strung on her broom
handle and served them to the guests.
The refreshments were delicious and
a very pleasant evening was spent.
When the guests prepared to retire
they found the front door and the
front gate wired solidly together. All
spent a most delightful evening and
voted Miss Rowen and the Judge
capital entertainers.

STORY REGARDING DANISH WEST INDIES
DENIED AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
WASHINGTON. June 20,-A complete denial vas
obtained at the State Department to-day OF the
story printed this morning from a special corre-
spondent in Copenhagen. to the effect that the
United States recently addressed a note 70 the
Danish Government relative TO st. Thomas and
ST. Crofx demanding that the Danish Govern
ment fortify the islands if il refuses to sell them
TO the United States. The State Department has
had no communication whatever with the DAN
ish Government on the subject of the Danish
West Indian Islands for the last three months.
and it never has contemplated making any such
demand as that reported The negotiations re-
specting the acquisition Of the islands by the
United States have proceeded languidly but IN
perfect good humor through Minister Swenson.
and there Is reason to qualify the original
expectation OF the State Department that they
will be concluded in time to permit OF the sub
