A PRETTY DANCE.

The dance in Twins Hall, Cata-

one of the leading social events OF
the season. 1t was a pronounced
successi both in point OF size and
the Importance OF those present.
Openheim's Orchestra of Wilkes

goes without saying that this tea-
ture was all that could be desired,
in fact the success of the affair is
attributed almost entirely to the

orchestra. The arrangements were
{ o1lplete in every particular. The

the dance the delightful affair that
it was, was as follows: Simon Ell

Against Free Lunches.
Bloomsbury Hotel and Restau-
rant Men File Protest Against
the Custom.

1t looks as though the free lunch
custom will soon be wiped out in
Bloomsbury. The action OF the
hotel and restaurant men, came in
the nature of a surprise, particularly
as only last week, Governor Penny
packer vetoed the anti-free lunch
measure. The reasons the Chief
executive advanced for disapprov-
ing the measure were given in our
last issue.
The petition presented to the
Court on Tuesday is as follows:

the Court of Quarter Sessions OF
Columbia County.
Your petitioners, licensed hotel
and restaurant keepers OF the Town
of Bloomsbury, would respectfully

That it is your petitioners desire
; to cease serving free lunches at

II That the interests of the busines:

SUDDEN DEATH.
Paul irwin Traub Passes Away
During Friday Night.
lifeless Body Found in Bed

Startling in its suddenness and
profound in the sorrow 1t created
was the announcement OF the death
of Paul Irwin Traub which was
made Saturday morning. Seldom
has the community been shocked |
as it was in this instance. 1t
seemed as though it could not be
true. Only the night before he
was seen and had been in conver-
sation with number of people
when to all appearances he was in
the best of health. He was in E.
M. Savidges confectionery store
about half past ten o'clock. When
he left there he went home, par
took of light lunch and retired.
During the night his mother heard
him breathing heavily but as she
had frequently heard similar sounds
before, paid little head to it. Judge
of the terrible shock to the family
when upon going into his room in
the morning his body was dis
covered cold in death. There were
no indications that struggle had
taken place. He was lying on his
back with the arms folded across
his breast as though in peaceful
sleep.
The deceased was young man
whose makeup combined all the
brighter and nobler characteristics
of lite. His sudden exit from the
place which knew him and now
knows him no more pierces ones
verv soul To those we'll acquaint
ed with him, there is photographed
in each heart his image and hi
brieflife work-marvelously beauti
full. No one can speak too highl,
of him. His employers admire'
him for his integrity and faithful
ness. His companionship was de
liphtful and his friendship sincere
His memory will long be cherishe
by all who knew him.

Secretary Root has forwarded to the
House of Representatives, through the
Treasury Department supplemental
estimate of $2,526, 100 for the defeDses
of the insular possessions Of the United
States.
The attack on the Presi ent seems to
have spent its force and Roosevelt stands
higher than ever before. His critics
have done him eminent service, without
contemplating it. The impression which
has been sought to be conveyed is that
Roosevelt is too impuisive. But no
President ever sat in the White House
who handled questions with greater de-
liberation than Roosevelt. His settle
ment of tho Venezuelan trouble was
prodigious success. The skill with
which he has handled the trust question
and the labor question is peachable.
He has redeemed the pledges of Presi
dent Mckinley on Cuban reciprocity
He has wisely directed affairs in the
Philippines, and American diplomacy
has distinguished itself in the Far East.
The attack on Roosevelts recognition of
Panama has spent its force because it is
now clear that an attack on this admin
istratiun must be followed By an attack
on all the powers of Europe and on
South American States which have done
Just what Roosevelt did. Jackson was
impetuous, but he was president. Roose-
welt has had more responsibility and 1t
will be to his great credit that he took
advantage of circumstances and brought
the country triumphantly out of the gold
brick operation of Colombia.

Dnrand and their daughter celebrated

at dinner
Efforts of certain Democratic senator's
to defeat the Panama treaty are being
considered by Republican leaders in
both House and Senate. A plan is now
under advisement to secure legislation
that will result in the construction of
the Panama canal should Democratic
opposition TO the treaty be effective. Ii
is proposed to pass resolution direct
ing the President of the United States
to accept the canal concession from
Panama.
Both the Maine senators have bills be-
fore the Senate, providing for the de
struclion of derelicts in the lanes of
travel across the Atlantic. One of these
was introduced by sen Frye and referr-
ed to the committee on commerce, of
which he is chairman, and promptly re
ported favoraby. The other was intro
duced by Nr Hale and referred to the
committee on naval affairs, of which he
is chairman 1t has not yet been acted
upon.
The next move in the Panama canal
treaty situation will be a motion in the
Democratic caucus declaring the sense
of the caucus to be that the canal treaty
shall be supported by Democrats in the
Senate. Instead of following Senator
German in his raid against the canal,
Democratic senators are now discussing
the wisdom of aligning their party in
favor of the canal.

manded
The four men charged with the Nor
ridgewock burglary at first pleaded not
guilty. Mr.. Manson, counsel for the
Reynold brothers, then asked the court
if he might have consultation with his
clients and their father. Both MIR. and
Mrs Reynolds of New Hampshire were
present.
After the conference the Reynold
Bros retracted their former plea and
pleaded guilty. Nutting and ovell
had not arrived at similar conclusion
and did not wish to retract their pleas.
Nutting stated to the court that he
would like counsel appointed The
court replied that in this case counsel
could be appointed but could not be
compelled to serve. Nutting announced
his preference as Forrest Goodwin, and
he will act as counsel for Nutting.

tered plea of not guilty when arraign'

A Terrible Disaster.

OYER 300 people were killed in 10
minutes, Wednesday afternoon, during
fire ir the Iroquois theatre, the newest, ,
the largest and as far as human power
could make it, the safest theatre in
Chicago
A few of these people were burned to
death by fire, many were suffoeated by
gas and scores were trampled to death
in the panic that followed the mad
plunge of the frightened audience for
the exits. There were 1900 people in
the theatre when the catastrophy took
place. It WAS the most horrible event
of the year.

Our Democratic friends enjoy talking
about the "tarff walln that the wicked
Republicans have erected and thus pre-
vented the expansion of our trade In
foreign countries. In view of the this
it is a trffe strange that Duu's Review
should publish the following in its latest
issue: "The remarkable growth Of
American trade in japan has not failed
to attract the attention of observers of
international trade movements, both In
this country and abroad, but it is not
generally known that during the last SIX
months the United States has actually
taken first rank in the import trade of
the enterprising Asiatic empire, displac-
ing Great Britain from a position oecu-
pied by that nation since foreign trade
with Japan began. The change, more
over, does not appear to be temporary
accident OF the statistics, but a logical
outcome Of movement that has been
going on for a number of years"
