THE DINNER SEASON

In the course OF the dinner giving season the

At appointed feasts was Impressive in its range

evening to social intercourse at the table has
multiplied so that the articles in the newspapers
containing reports OF these dinners, or mt least
referring to them In some way, have taken up
small percentage of space in the daily jour
mails in recent months. Graduates and under

hotels and restaurants that these stated ban
quets are held over an extensive area and in
conspicuous array of places.
An especially striking characteristic of the
dinners of the autumn, winter and spring of
1900 and 1901 has been the coming into view Of
many new associations founded on the basis of
nativity in a particular State or county or city

given hOspitable greeting to the multitudes who
have come here from every part of the Empire
State, from every State in the Union and from
the remotest corners of the earth. The ten

become irresistible. The desire among men from
the East and the West, from the North and the
South to get together at table and exchange
"reminiscences and renew old friendships while
exalting the glories of the State, the county or
the town in which they were born is now one
of the most notable features of the public din

4 NEW EXCISE COMlusSIONER.

Governor OdeIl has fulfilled the general
expectation by appointing MIR. Patrick w Culli-
nan TO the office of State Excise Commissioner
made vacant by the death OF Colonel Lyman.
This selection was not only expected but desired
by those familiar with Mr.. Cullinan's character
and service in the department, and desirous or
having its standard of honor and efficiency
upheld During the five years since the depart
ment WAS brought into existence by the RaineS
law he has been its chief counsel, and it is not
doubted that its successful operation is largely
due TO his sound advice and hearty support of
Colonel Lyman's policy. 1t was not an easy
task TO organize a new branch of the State
government, and from the first TO administer it
in such manner to overcome the strong
and reasonable suspicion with which it was
regarded. The fear that a statute enacted
at the dctation of n political machine might
be employed TO intrench the liquor business still
more firmly in politics and lead 10 corruption
and scandal If that was the purpose of some
who voted for il. Governor Mortons choice of a
commissioner completely disarranged their pro-
gramme. Colonel Lyman clearly comprehended
bis obligations and performed them with skill
and integrity. His administration demonstrated
the potential utility of the system, averted the
serious evils which ii might have engendered
and made il generally acceptable to the public.
Mr.. Cullinan is thoroughly familiar with the
duties of the office 10 which he was appointed
because of the excellent record made by him in
a subordinate relation. There IS therefore good
reason to believe that he will continue TO deserve
and command the public confidence.

When the president of one of the most pros

larglng its operations and has decided to build
several new steamships. says that the system
of loading and unloading vessels at London is
much slower and much costlier than at New

Americans rub their eyes in amazement. but
