paper by Mrs Gilbert Parsons,
Does it pay to decorate our homes?
Mrs Parsons draws sharp contrast be-
tween those parents whose sole ambi-
ton has been and is to add more acres
to their already broad possessions and
more gold to swell aseir bank account,
but not cent of money do they spend
for beautifying the home, nor have
they time or inclination to sympathize
with their children in their innocent
pleasures. Little wonder if they are
left in their old age to enjoy as best
they may that which has cost them the
loss of the love and respect of their
children. On the other hand those
parents whose hearts thrill with love
for the beautiful in nature and art, have
sought to make home the dearest place
on earth for their children, and sue
ceeded, in old age they are sur
rounded by all that life holds dear, their
loving and dutiful children.
Mrs. Parsons thinks that given a
pleasant home with light, warmth and
beauty, and an assured welcome for
companion that many bright boy
might have been saved from the facinat-
ing but deadly allurements of the
saloon. If our Creator had not intend
ed us to have beautiful homes, but only
necessaries. why did He not show us
the example, for "God might have made
the earth bring forth enough, both great
and small the oak tree and the cedar
tree and not flower at all"
Mrs. N. Wilson's select reading was
very much enjoyed. Miss Halle Morris
favored the club with two fine recita-
tions, Miss Bramley's instrumental

Altogether the meeting at Oak Dale,
is one long to be remembered with

ing Statement.
Will Attempt to Prove His eli.
ents Innocent Of Willful
Murder.
Fire In a Chicago Apartment
House Results In One
Death.

Paterson, N. j., Jan. 16-This morn
ing Michael Dunn delivered the opening
address for the defendants in the trial of
the three alleged murderers of Jennie
Boa.chieter the mill girl. He made
mention of the grief into which the
family of Jennie was plunged by the
tragedy, and added that the case was
also sad on account of the youth of the
prisoners and because it brought such
Disgrace upon their families. Counsel
promised to prove that the death of the
girl was not caused in the commission
of a criminal assault; also that the
charge of willful murder could not
STAND against the defendants. Dunn
proceeded With II narrative of the events
preceding the death of Jennie, the pur-
pose being to snow that the meeting of
the four men, alleged murderers was
not prearranged and that the girl made
the first advances that opened UP the
way for the meeting at the saloon. In
the saloon. according to counsel the
girl drank freely, taking cocktails and
absinthe. She became drowsy and was
escorted by two of the accused from the
saloon to the hack. The hackman, the
counsel said. was mistaken when he
testified that the accused men assaulted
the girl. Her death was accidental, her
drink was not drugged nor her person
violated by the defendants.
There is a possibility of the defense
closing its case today and the trial be-
Ing concluded tomorrow with the sum

Favors Canal Treaty

London, Jan. l6-An article written
by Henry Watterson, of the. Louisville

the United States and England. is at
tracting much attention here 1t is
considered an adroit and friendly sum
mary of American opinion respecting
the Nicaragua canal and u strong APP
peal to the foreign Office for the accept
5ance OF the senate amendments to the
new treaty. Copies Of the article have
been sent to Lord I.ansdowne. Arthur
Balfour, Joseph Chamberlain and other
members Of the cabinet and IL is hoped
that 1t will exert a marked influence
in promoting the settlement Of the ca
nal question.
Ihe points on which special stress is
slaifs in the article are that this senate
amendments have not added anything
Lord Salisbury would not have sane
toned IL he had been consulted in adj
vance by Secretary Hay; that no Eng
siish interests are touched by the
amendments; that Lord Salisbury. by
accepting the revised text, can lay the
foundation of a friendship between the
two nations more enduring than any
alliance, and that there are strong rea-
sons for a better understanding and q
working agreement between the United
States anta England. Col. Watterson,s
representative character as a eouth-
8erner and a democrat lends great au-
thority to this expression Of Anne rican
