OF Obviating the many casualties 0rdi-
narily incident to the 4th, the authorities
In Washington determined to hold an "old
fashioned 4th of July celebration" In the
white house grounds. M. Jousserand,
the French ambassador, was asked to
speak and he heimmediately accepted, chang
ing his plans, he having contemplated
leaving the city before that date, and re-
naming over. AS was to have been ex-
pected, his address was highly cOmpli-
mentary to "sister republic" Speak
ing Of this same disposition to cultivate
the United States, 1t Is worthy of note
that news has just been received from
Germany to the effect that Prince Henry
of Prussia will make the Saint Louis Px-
position the occasion OF another visit to
this country, and will be accompanied
this time by the German crown prince.
Surprise has been expressed In some
quarters that such important affairs as
the recent negotiations with Russia, II
such they could be called, could go on
with the president and the secretary Of
state absent from Washington. The fact
is, however, that modern invention has
practically annihilated distance. When
the president goes to Oyster Bay pri-
vate wire Is leased for the season, so that
he Is always In close touch with the ex-
ecutive departments In Washington. The
Russian statement was not issued until
a. m. A newspaper correspondent who
inquired the occasion Of the delay, the
statement having been expected some
hours sooner, was told that the president
had been talking with Secretary Hay, who
was In Newport, over long distance tel
ephone, and communicating with Secre-
taries Loomls and AIDES all the evening,
and that it was after midnight when the
statement was worded to their mutual
satisfaction.
There has been no really important de-
velopment In the post Office investigation
during the past week, although postal
affairs are still being probed. The an
nouncement by the auditor Of the finan-
cial statement of the post-office for the
fiscal year just ended Is, however, worthy
of notice. This shows that the deficiency
for the amounts to $4,617 1908, as against
$2,961, ITO for the year previous. Oi
course the increase In the deficiency is
explained by officials as resulting from
the extension of the rural free delivery
routes, but 1t Is privately admitted that
with economical administration a large
portion of this amount might have been
saved even without curtailing the rural
service. 1t is interesting to learn In this
connection that Fourth Assistant Post.
master General Bristow has determined
to disregard political reasons and the Inn
portupities of congressman in the eetab
lishment of rural routes In the future. Il
has been shown that where the conditions
warrant the establishment of rural route
there is always a material increase II
postal receipts, but 1t is now admitted
that many routes have been established
where the conditions did not warrant Il
and solely for the purpose of cultivatine
favor with congressman requesting 1t.

More than 500 persons competed for
the prizes offered by Chicago compa-
ny for the best thoughts on the subject
of saving. The man who received the
first prize wrote: Saving produces a
peace of mind unknown to him who in
time of misfortune must depend on the
bounty Of his friends. Determine to
save, for will power is the prime essen
tial. Deposit regularly. Lay aside
some portion Of each weeks or months
income. Deposit extra and unexpect-
ed receipts" 1t is short but sound
and comprehensive sermon on thrift
and enllsts in a good cause two forces
that sometimes fight on opposite sides

THE coRB1N-K1NNEY REUNION.

A delightful reunion of the Kinney fam
iiles OF this region. and Of the descendants
Of Deacon and Mrs. Penuel Corbin Of
West Woodstock, was held at Roseland
park, Woodstock, on Wednesday, July l..
This was planned for and arranged by the
family Of Myron Kinney of Putnam, for
merly OF Union. The reason for holding
the reunion at this time was the recent
return from China of daughter of Mr..
Kinney, Mrs. Beard, with her husband,
Rev. Willard Beard, and four children.
The visit Of another daughter with her
husband, Rev. and Mrs. Hume of Merid-
ian, N. Y also made the gathering time
lily. Friends gathered from Woodstock,
Putnam, Union, Southbridge and other
places to the number of about sixty, and
more would have been present had 1t not
been for the doubtful weather In the
morning. After bountiful dinner, served
on the veranda of the bungalow, the
speeches were made, Rev. Harvey M.
Lawson acting as toastmaster. Mr.. Beard
spoke on travelling In China, and Mrs.
Beard, "hls other nine-tenths," on a Chi
nese dinner and a wedding. Afterwards
the entire Beard family dressed In Chinese
costume and sang songs In Chinese. They
are running over with information about
China, and show photos, curios, etc.,
which are very interesting. Reminds
cences of the ancestors of the families
were given by Deacon E. N. Lawson of
Union, and Deacon Frank Corbin and
Charles Potter of Woodstock. The noble
and worthy character of the forefathere
was described and their example held up
before the younger members. DR.. George
Lawson of Middle Haddam spoke or
s'The spirit of the children" In which he
showed how the younger members Of the
family are striving to be credit to their
ancestry. The number of children pres.
ent called forth DR.. Gildersleeve's re.
marks on "The rising generation" ir
which he showed that we are doing what
we can to prevent the race from dying
out. "The unmarried members" were
vigorously defended by Miss Susie Law
son, who proved their usefulness anC
happiness. Rev. Mr.. Hume also made
Interesting remarks, and the speaking
closed by singing "Blest be the tie thai
binds" and America" Later the com
pany was photographed and then began
to depart for their homes, having spent 9
very enjoyable day, which was only toe
short for all to see one another as much
as they wished. The hope was expressed
by many that these reunions may contin
