A Social Event

house was brilliantly lighted by gas

into the rooms from some unseer

tales of childhood. In the library Mis-
Nellie Barker assisted by Miss Cora
Bertram, presided with her usual dig

was enjoyed amid social chat and
humor, while Mesdames White and
Pike were everywhere at once making
their guests feel happy and at home

where the table was laid with snowy
cover strewn with ferns and further
decorated with red carnations and
white hyacinths. Blue ribbon looped
with hyacinths was draped from the

Halvor johnson died vetI suddenly
at the hospital last Wednesday after
noon about 4:3O, after an illness Of
about twenty-four hours: Mr.. john
son had his leg broken last July which
was set by doctors elsewhere. A poor
job was done and the leg was again
broken and reset in the early part Of
the winter by our local doctors. He
was getting along nicely from the
second operation but his knee had be-
come stiff and he went to have the
knee bent. The operation was per-
formed but it is said that as a result
of a long cold ride to town he got a
bad chill which turned into pneumonia
and caused his death. The case is a
very sad one indeed. The deceased
was about thirty years old and leaves
a wife and one child. The remains
were taken to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. E. Downe and the funeral oc-
CURED last Saturday afternoon at the
Lutheran church. The remains were
inferred in the Cooperstown cemetery.
The sympathy Of many friends is ex-
tended to the bereaved family.

Cooperstown Lodge No. As, Knights

and their friends to a ball and banquet
last Friday night. There were over a
hundred present. Dancing was COM

p. m. and was continued until II when
a banquet was served in the X. P. hall
by Landlord Hodge, of the Newell
House, after which the company re-
turned to the opera house and danced
until about 4 a. m. next morning.
Those present had a splendid time and
will ever remember the hospitality OF
the genial X. P.'s who spared no ex-
pense or time to see that their guests
had a good time, everyone of the boys
tieing with each other in making him
self a committee on entertainment.
The lodge room was very prettily
draped in the colors of the order. The
celebrated Rockford orchestra furnish
ed the music. The whole affair from
start to finish was nicely arranged and
carried out and If anyone present did

HAYS GREAT SPEECH.

RY FAR the ablest speech of the
- present campaign was delivered
by John Hay in Carnegie Han. New
York last night It is perhaps true
that no man in public life enjoys a
greater measure Of public esteem than
Mr.. Hay, and his impress on the diplo-
macy Of the time is profound Here
are few of the kernels Of his logic:
Nobody denies that the tariff must
from time to time be revised. But il IS
too evident for argument that The re-
vision must be entrusted TO friendly

The PASSING Of The Cowboy.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The great West, especially that por-
tion which is given over to the cattle
raising industry. owes its development
largely to the cowboy. AS a spectac-

necessary adjunct of live stock produce

the king OF the prairie. All tribute to
his personal trustworthiness and his

The Professor and the eirI.

From the New York Evening Telegram.
Professor Cumnock, Of the North-
western University, has probably mel
lowed for the first time to the fact that
the girl cuts as much figure i'm this
living, breathing world as dry econo-
mics ana desicated statistics. But
having experienced this awakening
the savant acts with the same sweet
in genuousness OF person who does
not know a whit about the subject be-
fore him.
He sagely opines that the picture hat
has added charm to the girl. He
doubtless arrived at this conclusion
after complex system OF reason
ing. The very way in which he de-
llvered his ndings indicates this fact.
Anything that is obvious does not
attract the average college professor.
The obvious Is the Intellectually COM
monplace.
The obvious any one may see, but not
so with the truth concealed beneath
the surface Of things
II would be highly entertaining to
know the good professors mental pro-
cess when he looked az the girl with
the picture hat and began to work her

he harled back to the time when the
FIRST primitive woman pmcked a
feather from the bird her hairy COM
panion had slain and stuck It IN her
hair. He came up through successive
periods until at last he again stood
face to face with the girl and the pic
ture hat With standard Of comparison
fresh In his mind it was. perhaps. not
difficult to make a decision.

ONE KENT REGULAR.

THERE are very few Regular Re
4 publicans in Kent county. but they
represent a pretty good article Of citi-
zenship. The Republicans Of Kent were
first sifted and then the Regulars re-
manning were tried in the fire, and,
consequently, those who have borne the
test are the stuff that men are made Of.
The Kent county Regulars by some ac-
cident secured a place on the ticket for
one Of their number. and i'm the process
.of adjusting a harmony ticket he was
allowed to remain.
That candidate Is George II. Dick
and smyrna is his home Mr.. Dick IN
many respects represents the average
citizenship. That is he is not crea-
trro OF fortunes he has had to earn
every dollar that he has had. He has
had to fgh, his way inch by inch. just
as most Of us have had TO do.
But in doing this while he has an
tagonized many men politically yet
nobody can point TO any dishouorable
act In his public or private career. He
has been tested, too, for he has sew
eral times asked for Office. but always
openly and always accepting denial
without complaint.
Clean, honest. self-respcctlng. abso-
lutely free from bad habits, this is the
story Of the career Of Mr.. Dick. 1t is
a pleasure to say so, and pleasure to
support such man.

EDITORIAL OPINION

them as If they were your own--thats
all there is to it,
In these few simple words DR. L. Il.
Moore, Of Appleton. Wis. gives the
solution OF the servant girl question.
That Dr. Moore has the courage Of
his convictions and practices what he
breaches is shown by the fact that on
Wednesday evening he and his wife,
the daughter of a bank president,
threw open their handsome home for
the entertainment OF the friends OF
their servants. Engraved invitations
were sent; fifty guests were present;
there were music, dancing, and elabor-
ate refreshments.
Reduced to definite form, this solu-
ton Of the problem provides for the
servants, among other things;
Use Of automobile. carriage, tele-
phone. piano library and house.
Writing desk, stationery, stamps.
Flowers. candy, books.
nome entertainments and theatre
and opera parties.
House gowns, street costumes, even
ing toilets.
Large wages and a generous allow
ance of spending money.
There seems to be no good reason
why this provision should not be fairly
satisfactory to the servants. Possibly
they might be compelled occasionally
to neglect their work. Possibly, also,
the question of expense might occa-
sionally be a consideration, especially
in a family where the housewife has
not hitherto been in the habit of Civ
Ing frequent entertainments and has
used the street cars instead of an au-

The Philadelphia clergymen have
found a sphere where they may act in
politics legitimately without any
ground for complaint. There is a
feeling in this country, which is prop
erly founded. that the clergy should
keep free from using their sacred Office
to further the interests Of any one
party or set Of candidates. But the
line between that sort Of effort and the
effort at purifying elections should be
sharply drawn.
For those who violate election laws
should be regarded, not as Repubh-
cans and Democrats, but as criminals
and be dealt with as SUCH The clergy
cannot sit stil while there is an cpl
demic Of crime in the community, and
an epidemic OF crime against the pur-
ity OF the ballot is as dangerous, II not
more dangerous, than any other.
In Delaware individual ministers
from time to time have sought TO have
the clergy generally take oognizance Of
the crimes against our election laws
which everybody knows are so COM
mon. But these efforts have been
fruitless. An occasional pcrfunctory
resolution has been passed, but even
this at times has been refused on the
thin basis that the church must not
