THE REALM OF SOCIETY.
Several Delightful Social Events
Have Occurred the Past Week.

The young men of the city gave re-
ception Tuesday evening at the Far
mum House in honor of the visiting
young ladies. The occasion was an in
formal one. and was thoroughly en-
joYed.
The hours were very delightfully."-
whiled away with music and and pleas
ant conversation. At eleven o'clock
the guests repaired to the dining
room. where delicious refreshments
were served.
Miss Lucy Geise was complimented
Tuesday evening with reception at
the home of her aunt, Mrs. w. S.
Dozier. The occasion was topic
party, each young man being given a
list of subjects on which to converse
with the young ladies present. This
mode of entertainment proved exceed
ingly interesting and furnished con-
siderable amusement.
When the time came to enjoy re-
freshments the young men secured
partners in the following novel way:
Each OF of the young ladies stepped in
turn before sheet stretched within a
doorway and on which was shadow
ed her profile 1t fell upon the young
men to guess from this the young Ia
dy's name, and the one guessing cor
rectly had the pleasure of acting as
her escort into the dining room. Al
ter partaking of refreshments the
young people sought the verandas,
where delightful hour was spent
in enjoyable conversation. The occa,
sion was pronounced extremely
pleasant by all who attended.
Miss Eloise Cooke rendered lawn
party Friday evening complimentary
to her guest, Miss May Belle Couch of
Senoia. Stretched across the spacious
lawn were innumerable Japanese Ian
terms, whose soft radiance fell upon
couples scattered picturesquely here
and there over the yelvety green. The
whole made a scene of unspeakable
loneliness, and one could easily imag-
inc himself fairy encrcled Lysander
in "a Midsummer Nights Dream. "
Delightful refreshments were en-
loved al fresco. When the time for
departure came-and it came all too
early-the guests said goodnight with
many thanks to the fair hostess for
one of the most delightful occasions
which ever occurred in Dawson.

WARRINGTON. Aug. 6-Senator Stewart

next Republican nominee FOR President,
and he believes this will be wise selection
He seems 70 have the best chance thus
far Of any OF those mentioned said Mr.
Stewart. 'and believe the more the poo
pie understand him the better they will
like him. Mr.. Hanna is broad-minded
citizen and is thoroughly capable in every
respect Of handling the affairs OF the EIec,i-
tive Office. He Is much stronger than he is
given credit for by certain people. and tho
campaign developments OF the past four
years demonstrated that he Is one OF tho
ablest men In the country. l think he
would make a great candidate and look
for his nomination"
Referring TO the statement that the sill
yer issue Is dead. Mr.. Stewart. who In
years past has been a persistent advocate
Of free and unlimited coinage, said:
the past Ave years has settled the money
question for the time being, II Is. TO my
mind, sad admission that the supply Of
our circulating medium should be regu-
lated bv the quantity Of one metal Sooner
or lstor the mines must fail and the money
question will then be paramount. The
suffering will lie appalling. in my juds-
ment. Just as II has been in the past In such
instances II Ia impossible TO bring the
silver question TO the front at the present
time, and il il possible that IL may never
again be an issue. Wise men, however
should consider some rule by which an ade-
quste supply Of money can bs furnished

member.

1t would, probably, be incorrect to
assert that the Amalgamated Associa-
ton has an organ among the news
papers Of New York. Appearances more
nearly indicate that it derives its
ideas and its guidance from such a
source. We do not believe that with
all its excesses and all the outrages done
In its name organized labor ever con-
oeived the idea of armng its members
and subjecting them to military drill
10 the end that the employers might
be more effectu"lly coerced to sub
mission. 1t has remained for a news
paper Of this city to inspire these ideas.
These matters concern the entire mer-
camille community. They come home
to the doorstep Of every property owner
here and in every part Of the United
States. And when this propaganda of
social disruption gathers its first dis
astrous fruits the authors Of il must be
prepared to assume their full share Of
the responsibility. There is nowhere
that they can hide, and the retribution
that awaits them is as inevitable as the
justice of the Almighty.

In responss TO letter from Mr.. A. W

on July 81 In which he said that apparently
no accounting has thus far been rendered
,, OF the many thousands Of dollars collected
from sympathizing Americans for the
Boers.' John V. l.. Prnyn, chairman Of the
American committee to aid Red Gross
work In South Africa within Boer lines
has sent to THE Sun copy Of the report OF
Tunis q. Bergen. the treasurer Of that
committee.
The report shows that from the begin
ming Of the work In November, 1909, to
May OF this year. the total receipts Of the
committee were t9,4s5.95. or this amount
Ss.O3oT WAS used for the actual work OF

OF collecting amounted TO 81, ,t58 4s.
One hundred pounds sterling cabled

work, the Beers declined to accept on the
ground that the Red Cross work had been
given up. Therefore. only about $3.50

Engineering does not hesitate to say
that such occurrences are common In
the case Of English contracts for war
vessels.
II is often assumed that, because the
English people vote moro money for
their navy than Ia allotted for the con-
struction 10 foreign navies, they must
have moro or better ships. This ground
IL taken by Lord BRAssEY in a recent
speech in the House OF Lords. Engi-
aeerino contends that the basis OF COM
parison is erroneous. 1t comedies that
q British ship built in q British con-
tractors yard costs less than French
or Russian ship built in a French or
Russian yard. 1t points out, however,
the fair comparison would be between
British ship and foreign ship. both
built in Great Britain, when the aspect
Of the case would be altogether different.
This English technical journal does not
shrink from the assertion that the Ad-
miralty. as at present constituted, is not
qualified for the effective supervision
Of naval construction.
The First Lord, OF course. is . poll
tician without any technical experience.
The Naval Lords are, indeed, profess
sional seamen. but are not familiar
with the conditions essential to tho
economical and rapid production Of war
ships, and have had no training in
business principles, nor in the technical
details that enter into the manufacture
Of a vessel. 1t in true that they have
under them professional officials in an
advisory capacity; but man who has
to depend entirely upon advice is not
a man fit to govern. Further, the pro-
fessional officials are too few in num-
ber, and are both underpaid and over
worked. Their authority is limited,
they are burdened with routine details
and their time is taken up with instructirg
those who are supposed to lead them.
Lord SELBoRNE himself, the First Lord
Of the Admiralty, had to admit not long
ago, when acknowledging the mistakes
made in the construction Of the royal
yacht, that there must be something
wrong in the system Of department
when such mistakes were possible. En-
cheering says that the First Lord was
right; that there is not only some
thing. but a great deal, very wrong in
deed It asserts that, il certain personal
considerations could be disregarded, and
certain vested interests in the navy
and its administration could be thrown
over, the money Of the British taxpayers
might be made to go much further than
it does now, and far more effective feet
might be provided on the present esti-
mates.

The Man without a stomach.

Will the stomach become a rudi-
mentary organ. tagging superfluous,
when the human machine is trimmed and
braced for the fiercer competitions that
must come when the world In over
peopled? Look at Mr.. KARL KRUGER,
gardener, Of Chicago. Last spring he
was starving 10 death with cancer Of
the stomach April 20 the surgeons
took out his stomach in exactly eighty
minutes. For some time. naturally,
he mortified the flesh. He lived on
prepared foods. A cheap diet. il not a
generous one. The makers were only
too glad TO purvey for such a patient.
"Why, our food is so healthful and
nourishing that man doesn't need
any stomach to thrive on it" The
advertisement was sublime.
And the man did thrive. He Is thriv-
ing still. He doesn't miss his stomach,
and he doesn't miss meal. He has
passed beyond the patent-food stage.
He has coffee and white bread and butter
for breakfast; the same for dinner with
a dash of potato, il ne feels like 1t; and
tea, white bread and butter and potatoes
for supper. He sleeps like top; " like
a rock" he says. Necessarily he is
free from horrible fevered dreams,
those children OF indigestion and over
feeding. He falls asleep "a soon as he
lies down. For him no mnemonic drill.
no vain attempts to keep his mind from
dwelling on the fact that he has one, no
crazy efforts at relaxation" The
sleep Of the stomachless is sweet.
Nor do such longings as are said to
possess the wooden-legged men come
to him. He doesn't mourn the loss Of
his digestion-sac. L simply eat and
that is all there is 10 it," he says
cannot tell whether have a stomach
or not" o thrice fortunate, three
thousand times fortunate KARL KRUGER,
healthiest of men! Worthy OF all the
wealth which the dime museum men
are eager to bestow upon him. "And
then we attached this duodenum directly
to the esophagus," the surgeons muir
mur TO the admiring visitors. And
KARL smiles and says he is ready for his
bread and butter and potatoes.
Weight at time Of operation, 90 pounds.
Present weight. 100 pounds. And still
he gains and still the wonder grows.
The vegctarians chuckle. KRUGER
eats no meat; therefore he lives. Per-
haps the illation is little weak When
we are all without stomachs, we shall
all become vegetarians. Perhaps not
very much sooner.
