MAPLE SUGAR PARTY.
Vermonters Make Merry in Patriotic
Celebration

Senator Redfield Proctor. Senator Dill
bingham, and other distinguished sons Of
the Green Mountain State last night at
National Rifles Armory paid the tribute
of loyal patriots to Vermont, when the
associat ton of that State held it's annual
maple sugar party.
No one but Vermonters would have
known what to do with the edibles pro-
vided at the feast. When the guests filed
down into the dining halls the tables were
laden with huge cakes of ice, made level
upon the top. Mattresses, Vermont girls
in caps and dainty costumes, passed
around the board with pitchers of foam
ing hot syrup. Each Of the guests OBJ
tanned liberal supply in a plate, and
then .-waxed" his own maple candy The
process is simple-the hot sorghum is
dropped from a spoon on the chunk of ice;
it cools, and forms a waXy, candy-like
substance, which may be eaten in any
quantity without fear of harm. The
method is in imitation of the native Yer
mont way, which is to drop the boiling
syrup on the snow.
There were other good things to eat,
prepared by New England housewives.
Major E R. Campbell, president of the
Vermont State Association, presided.
Senator Proctor was then called upon
for a speech, and he instinctively turned
to the Vermont boy for his inspiration.
He talked OF the green hills of his Com
monwealth until, in the hot banquet
rooms, one could breathe the atmosphere
of Snow Bound"
Hon. Charles A. Prouty Interstate Com
mere Commissioner, responded to the
toast THE Women OF Our State"
Vermont Horses and Maple Sugar"
was responded to by representative Has
kins.
Senator Dillingham; spoke upon The
Joy of All Vermonters Abroad and the
Pleasure of the Old Folks at Home"
Representative Foster also replied to
toast.
Dancing followed the feast.

SELECTION OF INDIAN AGENTS.
President to Choose Men Without At
tentiOn to Politics.

Political conditions will be secondary
considerations in the appointment of In
dian agents by President Roosevelt Be
cause poor Lo'' is for the most part
helpless in legal sense, the President
has decided that the utmost care should
be taken in picking men to administer the
affairs of the agencies.
A number of agents will be appointed
soon to fill vacancies caused by the re-
tirement of others, and over a number
of these billets sharp preliminary politi-
cal fights are being made. AS rule these
contests are marked by the filing of
grave charges against either the incum-
hents or the would-be appointees.
President Roosevelt is tired of the bick-
ering which he encounters when he makes
these appointments, and will hereafter
look particularly at their qualifications
for the line OF work they are to super
intend. ...
Political considerations will then be
looked at but not so closely as to i'm
pair the efficiency of the service.

New Law as Yet Untried.

"Shall the new law, which represents
the sanctity CT the family, the purity of
the home, and the conviction OF the con-
science. on this vital question. be repeal
ed after only four months trial?
81 urge the following reasons against
such action:
"First-Because Congress owes it to its
own dignity not to repeal it's own enact
ment before its wisdom has been tested
by time. or until it has been shown to
be contrary to the public interest.
"Second--Because the frightful increase
of divorces in the United States-9,9SI in
1867, 90 .53S in 1SS6-a ratio of increase I'M
equaled in any civilized country in the
world-demands that every existing safe
guard of the purity of the family should
be jealousy maintained.
"Third-Beeause. our legislation should
be governed by the sanctions of high
moral standard having in view the sane
tity of the marriage bond, which the
overwhelming weight of Christian senti
ment among our people hold can only be
absolutely dissolved by the act of adul-
terry.

PLEA FOR SANCTITY OF HOME
Points Out That Under Old Law the

for UNFOLDING Recently Adopted Act.

Rev. Randolph H. McKim, rector OF the
Church of the Epiphany. has addressed
letter to each member of the House Dis
trict Committee. protesting against any
change being made in the divorce section
OF the District code. His reasons for OPP
posing the proposed change are set forth
as follows:
Referring to the proposed amendments
to the District OF Columbia code, so lar
as they touch the law Of marriage and
divorce, l beg most respectfully. but earn
estly. to urge that no change should be
made in that part of the present law
which restricts absolute divorce from the
bond of marriage to one cause only, viz,
adultery. provided that in that case the
innocent party only may remarry.
THE friends OF higher morality re-
joiced in the repeal of the old law on this
subject about year ago. because under
it, as Jcdge Bradley said. Washington
was rapidly developing into divorce CEN

trict Attorney, put a premium on con-
