fection in which Rev Charles S. Thayer.

wanting last evening when a large recep-
tion was rendered him by the people OF
that church.
The chapel. on Stewart street. where

tremely artistic and beautiful by a most
lavish scheme of decoration which was
planned and carried out under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Wallace Nutting. wife of the
pastor OF the church.
The large fireplace at the far end OF
the chapel. and the wall above were half
hidden meath a mass OF laurel and oak
leaves, against which was seen. I'm re-
lief. a massive bank OF red rambler roses.
formed by the use Of what seemed TO be
great bushes Of this beautiful June
flower. Here DIR. Thayer assisted by
DIR. and Mrs. Nuttins. received from
I to 3 o'clock.
A beautiful scheme of decoration, which
was very generally admired, was the
simulated screen and portiere. which sep
arated the chapel proper from the young
by tennis netting. into which was woven
green ferns In such a way as 10 form n
complete screen OF green.
The portiere. also Of green. was OF cat
brier and green's.
The platform OF the chapel had. as n
background. n mass Of elm tree branches.
while in front were palms and ferns and
jardinieres 'of flowers. The windows OF
the chapel. also. were banked with cat
brier and daisies intermingled
In various parts OF the cha Il ices and
cakes were served under the general d.

BOYCOTT
ON IN
EARNEST
Strike Situation In PaWtucket and
the Lower Blackstone Valley
Fully Set Forth.

There was nothing doing today in Paw
coin. and no reports came 10 the ONCE
OF the street railroad or to police head
quarters.
The same number OF cars were run as
yesterday and the day previous. and there
was the average patronage. exceedingly
the round trip.
The far-reaching effects OF boycott
methods in Pawtucket is a feature OF
the strike situation which IL causing
much feeling and everybody is inclined to
TO have their feelings, say nothing OF their
expressions as TO law and order.
1t is a fact that the cars OF the Paw
tucket Street Railway branch. and the
cars which turned In daily from $40 10
$50. do not average 81 each. while the
enormously decreased patronage on the
other lines is proportionate in diminution
OF receipts.
Here Is the latest story OF the strikers
who are firm and confident:
The boycott remains and the weather
conditions encourage sympathizers to
walk.
Pawtucket today has no troops on duty
whatever for the first time In rs days.
The people appear 10 have settled down
10 the boycott. pure and simple. and
there In no reason 10 believe that the
people will again attain a turbulent spirit
The general impression is that the rail-
road management IL up against hard
proposition.
The strikers here say that they are jus,
as firm as they ever were. and that they
are satisfied that In the end they will
win Naturally they are somewhat chat
ing under the enforced idieness. but they
believe that their cause grows stronger
each day. and that they will. with the
support OF the people, win the struggle.

From the New York Journal (Dem.)
The American people want to do JUS
tiee to Cuba, but the hands of the Amer

is In power and 1t refuses to act for
Cuba's relief
Why7
Because the republican party does not
dare to touch the trust-breeding and

said the sugar beet crowd to congress,
land you must then take off the duty on
refined sugar, or we will fight you"
THAT cannot be allowed; there must be
no meddling with the differential," COM
msnded the sugar trust
So, In obedience to these TWO protect
ed interests" The American congress,
with the republican party in full control
of both houses, turned It's back on Cuba
and disgraced the United States before
the civilized wprld.
What Is to be done9
The President can call an extra session
OF congress-but 1t Is the same house that
took orders from the sugar beet lobby
The president can negotiate a reciproc-
ity treaty and submit 1t to the senate for
ratihcation-but 1t is the same senate that
condemned Cuba in misery and danger
rather than offend the sugar trust
By voting to deny Justice to Cuba, the
Republican party In congress, with full
knowledge of what it was doing voted
to drive the new born republic upon the
rocks of destruction.

Railroad to Place Ban on kissing.

New York Letter in the Chicago Tribune.
Officials of the New York Central Rail-

of issuing orders preventing all kissing
In the train sheds or on car platforms.
Only recently the Central ordered that all
rice throwing be prohibited in the train
sheds of their roads, and now it is said
the ban on kissing Is to be promulgated.
The railroad wants it understood that it
does not care continental about kiss
Ing but it will regulate the scene. 1t may
be done In the waiting-room, in the car
