THE PRINCE or WALES DINNER

THE PRINCE OF WALES DINNER.
At the dinner given at Windsor castle.
In honor Of the Prince OF Wales birth:
day the table, laid with between thirty;

tai and gold which contained bonbons
and fruit. And such fruit! The ser
vices were OF solid gold, even to the
knives for the sweets. On the buffet
piles Of golden: plates and dishes caught

cause Of their re1ations:to trade unions:
It is Just as well for the members Of
organized labor to be frank about 4
matter Of this sort and to. declare
what cannot be gainsaid THAT that IL
a rule which cannot admit OF universal
application to the trade union system
is to be made Of general practical ben

operation, mutual aid. IT workingmen
cannot refuse to associate themselves
with such Of their fellows as refuse to
accept this principle, the great body Of
union men will at all times be at the
mercy of any individuals whose nat
ural selfishness leads them to exalt
their own individual advantage over
the well-being Of their class.
In the concrete case under consider
alton it is obviously tyrannical and un-
just to the members Of the Bookbind-
ers' Union that they must work under
the directions and authority Of a man
whose nature and character are such
that none of them will sit in a lodge
room with him, and to imply that their
refusal means a test Of strength be-
tween the Government Of the United
States az employer, and a few self-re-
specting, skilled tradesmen. It is in
credible that such sontest should be
ordered by the Administration, but it
should insist on Keeping Miller after the
charges OF the Binders Union have
been proved, it is hard to see how, in
self preservation, the members Of or
ganized labor can do otherwise than
accept the gage.

WI TING FANG, CLERK.

Mr.. WI Ting Fang has job. The
affable, laxative, humorous Chinaman
was supposed to be the biggest and
finest representative of his race who
ever existed.
In Washington he was a show. Next
to the president he monopolized pub-
lie attention at the capital.
After seeing him you could fancy him
at home bossing the dowager empress
or telling the weakened boy emperor
what was what. Yes, sir, there wasn't
doubt that in China WI must be as
big man as Mark Hanna, and maybe
as big as Morgan.
And in fancy you could see the
crowds hurrahing for WI and beating
cymbals and burning red fire, while the
Pekin silver cornet band played what
sounded like the strains that come
from the killing section at the
stock yards and take the place Of "see,
the Conquering Hero Comes" in China.

teinstated by order Of the President,
w. A. Miller has become notorious, If
not q noted, man. Miller was expelled
from the union, according to a report
Of the union committee, because OF in
solent and overbearine manners, the
use OF scurrilous language to those
under him and attacking the organi-
zation OF which he was a member. His
defense is that the union objected to
his saving methods. and it's members
are unwilling to do decent days

UNION LABOR STANDS FOR LAW.

Said noted professor the other
day: II have always been friend
of organized labor. but if things con-
tinue as they are am afraid that
shall be compelled to surrender my
sympathy" There are number OF
friends like this. We don't contend
that organized labor is responsible for
the violation Of law. If few hot
heads violate the law by assaultins
strike breakers, it does not necessarily
follow that union labor is responsible.
OFTEN In the heat Of a strike the strike
breakers themselves have been the ag-
gressors Who blames the employers
for these rash acts? 1t is true that it
is up to union labor to discipline it's
members who violate the law, and our
acquaintance with union labor leads
US to know that 1t is strongly opposed
to any form of anarchy. such as ire
spect for law.
During the civil war many Of our
soldiers COmmltleu acts uHDeCOIIlln6
an American soldier. but is their an
American who will believe that his
country countenanced such unlawful
acts?
The extortions of such officers OF
unions as Lawrence Murphy in New
York have perhaps caused all of the
trouble in the building trades there
but is organized labor to blame fol
the INSCRIPTIONS actions of these men
There isn't a sincere union man in the
United States who is not sorry that
Murphy did not get twenty years in
stead Of five.
The same logic may apply to banl
cashier who e1nbezzles million or 81
Of the depositors' money. Because Q
this would. any one be; soy cruel ~ t,
condemn all bank cashiers Us eY11bez
x1ers?
Let us remember that In all grea
movements the INSCRIPTIONS men cal
be found in numbers, awaiting ever,
opportunity to plumber and steal.

"Who are the real knockers on a

Reunion.
OXFORD NORMAL INSTITUTE - SOUTH
PARIS HIGH SCHOOL.

For several years there has been in
existence an alumni association of the
Paris High School which aims to unite
the graduates in definite way for the
benefit of the school and for several pur-
poses. At the suggestion of some who
formerly attended the Oxford Normal
Institute, the alumni association, through
a committee appointed for this purpose
by the president, is arranging social
reunion to be held on July 30th, which
will include not only the graduates of
the High School, but also the former
students of the Oxford Normal Institute.
The plan is to meet at the Congrega-
tional vestry, Thursday evening, at half
past seven o'clock and enjoy a social
time until the hour for the banquet,
which will be served in Pythian Hall by
the Sisterhood. A brief program of
music and short speeches by former stu
dents and teachers will follow the ban
quet.
Over three hundred invitations have
been sent out by the committee of ar
rangements, of which Miss Eva E. Walk
er, '95, is secretary. Already many
favorable replies have been received,
and the interest already manifest ensures
a large attendance. Some of the former
teachers will be present and it is certain
that nearly all the local students of all
ages will attend. The members of the
committee desire that it be understood
that they have been unable to secure
any complete list of former students as
no records are available. But everyone
who is entitled to attend is expected to
come whether an invitation has been re-
ceived or not.
1t must also be understood that this is
not ''dress affair.", and no dress suits
will be tolerated!
The attendance of every former stu
dent and graduate of the Oxford Normal
Institute, or of the High School, is
earnestly requested, and the wives and
husbands of such students and graduates
have the same invitation. You are re-
auested 10 forward this invitation to
any one whose name is not likely to be
secured by the COMMITTEES; or you can
have an invitation sent to any former
student whose name you will give to the
committee.
The success of the plan is already
assured. But let every one attend and
increase the number. Please notify the
Secretary, Miss Eva E. Walker, South
Paris, If you propose To attend, otherwise
there will be no way of making proper
preparations for the banquet. To de-
fray the necessary expenses charge OF
fifty cents will be made to each person.

Miss Mary E. Deering.

News was received at South Paris
Wednesday of the death of Miss Mary E.
Deering of this place at the home of her
brother, William Deering, in Evanston,
ILL.,, on the preceding day, July 2lst.
Though her friends knew that she was
not in good health, only few of those
most intimate with her were aware that
her illness was of q serious nature, and
the announcement of her death was a
shock t. most of the people.
Miss Deering, who was nearly 81
wears of age, was a native of Paris and
always a resident here. She was the
daughter of the late James always
known as Judge) and Martha Moore
Deering. During the life of her father,
who lived to the advanced age of ~
wears. she cared for him faithfully and
tenderly. Since his death few years
AGO she has generally spent her winters
either with her brother or in Florida, re-
naming here during the summer months
Miss Deering was a woman OF broad
culture, and highly esteemed. She was
a Methodist class member, though not a
member of the church.
She is survived by a sister, Mrs. Eliza
beth H., wife of William III. Porter OF
Camden, n. j., and a brother, william
Deering, the we'll known manufacture
and business man of Chicago.
The remains arrived at South Paris OF
the early train Friday morning accom-
panied by her nephew, Charles w. Deer
ing, and were buried in the family lot II
Riverside Cemetery, with brief servic.
at the grave conducted by Rev. A. W

Johns Letter.

Mrs. Harriet Pompilly of Mt. Pulaski,
Ill.,, with her daughter Matte, who is
teacher in the high school in that or a
nearby town, came on to the teachers
convention in Boston, she, in the mean
time, taking flying and too brief trip
10 relatives in this town and Auburn.
She is a cousin of Isaiah Pompilly, the
horse character and we'll known. She
married cousin of ours, and OF the
same name, Thomas B. Pompilly.
She is not only Pompilly, but she is
a darling as we'll, social body, an easy
talker and just right. We knew her
fathers family we'll when we spent a
wear in Kentucky some forty-five years
ago. Uncle Ben, or "Big Ben" as he
was called, lived in very pleasant loca-
ton lust out of the little village of Sar-
dis. where we spent many happy hours.
Because of his outspoken union senti-
ments he was forced to leave it all and
he settled near this daughter where he
died not many years ago. She had
brother Dexter, who was lieutenant IN
the Union Army. Her two sisters that
we knew so well, Caroline and Susan,
have passed to the other side. The
mother, who was a Cochran of New
Hampshire, died three years ago at the
ace of Sc wears. She was keen, hand,
some. active, little, blue-eyed woman,
forty-five years ago. From Maine she
will go to New Hampshire, where she
was born 81 years ago, to spend Few
DAYS with relatives.
She can easily become member OF
the Daughters of the Revolution, as her
Maternal ancestors on both sides were in
the Continental army. She proposes to
be enrolled as such on her return. AT
the home of her kin, but none OF ours,
nor her husbands, we were shown
powder-horn with the owners name
Bennett Pompilly-and the date, lII4.
upon it. As it was owned and carried
through the seven years war by cousin
Bennet's grandfather, he would be par
ticularly pleased to have it. But she
was unable to get it in any possible way
without stealing it, and she did not con
slider it exactly honest to have 1t come
over that route. =,
The spirit of good fellowship would
readily have gratified the old gentleman
in so small thing as that, and especial
" as he is the rightful heir and no ont
else. People and dispositions diife
materially. We are not all built alike
And who made us to differ? We vii
give a horn twice the size of that in ex
change for it. And so they will &c
double the quantity of horn. Good trad
for them, don't you think? JOHN.
