ing the holidays, but a number of
social affairs were given by some of
our popular Young ladies at their
homes. Among the number deserv-
ing special note were those given by
Miss Nellie Thrasher, Miss Bessie
Hennen, Miss Florence Thrasher, Miss
Anna Clary and Miss Sada Thrasher
and Clarence Thrasher.
The young ladies gave a leap year
party in Friendly Hall New Years
night, and it was Il very enjoyable
affair, but rumor SAYS that some of
the young ladies who escorted the
young men home were so timid that
the young men had to then go back
with the young ladies. Is this so,
girls?
Deer Park has had three weddings
since the new year came in. The
girls haYn't had chance for the past
eight wears and from the pace they
are beginning with they intend to
make this leap year count

THE following editorial appeared
in the Grafton Daily Sentinel of last
Saturday and is of such a highly
commendable nature on the manner
i'll which the physicians of Oakland
handled the smallpox cases that it is
with more than ordinary pleasure
that we reproduce it:
"Graftonians will learn with pleas
ure that the smallpox situation over
about Oakland and Loeb Lynn is i'm
proving wonderfully, and that the
former town is past all danger of the
epidemic that threatened at one time.
The physicians and health officers
over there who worked so untiringly
and SO fearlessly to break the progress
OF the disease have certainly succeed
ed in a remarkable manner, and the
unceasing thanks of the entire COM
munity should be eyer theirs. The
situation along the line between Oak
land and Grafton is improving. No
new cases are reported, and old all
getting well. Here in Grafton there
appears to be no danger whatever of
spread of the disease, and the few
persons afflicted have very mild
cases"

MCKINLEY DAY AND CARNATIONS

THE Carnation League of Ameri-
ca, instituted as an annual memoir
al to the late President William Nc
Kinley and dedicated to national pa
triotism, is a fixed institution and in
sures a perennial observance of Jan
uary 30, the anniversary of his birth.
as Mckinley Day To wear the
late President favorite flower, the
carnation in the lapel of the coat, in
the hair, or at the throat, in silent
memory of departed public servant
is what is contemplated by his move
ment, in which the young and old of
both sexes can have part. The custom
was first observed on January 30, 1903,
with the greatest unanimity through
all over the world. 1t is simple, in
expensive act and full of patriotic
sentiment. All through Mr. McKin-
ey's life both public and private, ran
a distinct evening of sentiment, and
memorial of this sort is, therefore pc
culiarly appropriate to him. This
custom will undoubtedly be observed
the coming Goth day of January more
universally, il that is possible, than
on the initial day, year ago. Inter
est in the memorial has increased
wonderfully during the past year,
and Lewis g. Reynolds, Dayton, Ohio,
who suggested the idea, has received
letters of the most unqualified approx
al from Americans everywhere. No
expectation is had of giving the
movement the importance of local
organizations or annual meetings and
conventions, but in quiet, unobtru-
sive way it can be made to weld an
influence for good almost incalculable
and to foster spirit of true patriotism
worthy of our country and of the
man whose memory it is proud to hon
or.

SENATOR LODGES recent speech in
defense of the Presidents policy tow
ard the republic of Panama was the
most able which has yet been deliver
ed in the Fifty eighth Congress. 1t
dealt severe blow to the Democratic
opposition and is being quoted
throughout the country. The Senator
pointed out that it is not a breech of
neutrality to recognize revolted
state as independents; that such recog-
milton can come at any time after
the state is sufficiently established to
assume international obligations, and
that the question of secession does
not enter the case, as secession is the
right of revolution and has nothing
to do with law.
He cited many instances where
recognition of state had been purely
executive, and declared that President
Taylor was ready to recognize the in
dependence of Hungary before &, gov
to the Democratic objection that the
President had gone beyond his power
in nominating a minister to Panama.
Senator Lodge quoted many instances
where early Presidents had made NOM
nations to otner countries for which
Congress had made no provision. He
said that as early as May, the world
had known that revolution was
pending on the isthmus in case the
treaty was not ratified, and that if
the President had not taken precau-
tionary measures he would have been
in the highest degree censurable.
After many Interruptions by the
Democrats the Senator's speech took
political turn. He declared that
as IL Republican he would like no bet
ter issue in the coming presidential
campaign than the canal question.
but as an American he would regret
division on this important question.
He compared the policy of former
President Cleveland, who tried to set
up Liliuokalani in Hawaii with that
of the Republican party which mac e
those islands a part of the United
States.
Speaking of the President and Sec
rotary Hay, he said: 81 believe they
acted as patriots and as seeing
Americans, and when that canal is
completed the voice of the American
people will acclaim the action of this
Administration, which threw open
the gateway between the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans, even as tl.ey
acclaimed the action of Jefferson when
he bought the territory of Louisiana. y

SHELF, grading and opening of new
roads.
1t is also suggested that the conn
ties should he divided into road dis
tricts, oyer each one of which there
should be supervisor or superin-
tendent, who should give all or the
greater part of his time to the road
work of his district and who should
employ regularly year after year
men who would become familiar with
their work and would thus constitute
a trained corps of road members The
Geological Survey believes that such
trained permanent force would
produce far better results than could
be accomplished 10y the present
methods.
The Geological Survey has also
compiled all of the public general and
public locallaws of Maryland relating
to highways, adding to its pamphlet
on this subject which was published
in 1899 laws passed by the General
Assemblies of 1900 and 1902.
Both of these pamphlets are being
sent out in large numbers to the peo-
pie of the State The survey will
send its last report to any citizen ap-
plying.

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
It is like the penny in the
mix because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the childrens be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.

JAPANESE DARING
SHOWN IN FIRST
PORT ARTHUR COUP

TACOMA, March 21.-A vivid de-
scription of the first attack on the
Russian feet at Port Arthur and the
remarkable dash made into the inner
harbor by the japanese torpedo boats
is given in a letter to the Tacoma
News from Allen Fairweather. purser
of the steamship Pleiades of Tacoma,
which had arrived at Port Arthur
with cargo of flour a few days be-
fore the attack was made. He says:
''On Monday night at about IL
o'clock we heard heavy firing, which
continued until about 2:3O a. m.
Every one thought the forts were en-
gagged in some kind of night target
practice, but in the morning, when
we saw two of the largest and best
of the Russian warships aground on
the low spit, we knew that something
more than practice had been going
on.
1T developed that fleet Of Jap
anese torpedo-boats had come along
quitd close inshore. flying the Russian
flag and giving the Russian signal.
They had passed right under the
forts along the spit side of the har-
at the entrance, giving the counter
sign.
They passed through the entrance
to the harbor proper, turned around
and passed out going up to the other
coast until directly behind the largest
and best of the warships lying outside,
when they turned and fired their tor
pedoes into three OF them.
"The remarkable part of it was the
dash of the torpedo boats through the
1O0-yard wide mouth of the harbor
and their turning around inside.
The Russians fired upon the tor
pedo-b boats, but apparently did no
harm. They then attempted to get
their warships into the harbor, but
two of the worst disabled ran aground
on the spit and were in a sinking con-
dition.
'The next morning at II o'clock the
Japanese fleet moved in to within
firing distance and fired shells for
forty-five minutes. The Pleiades was
behind the spit, but in direct line, and
the shells fell all around us. Our deck
was covered with pieces.
Later the Russians got their
grounded warships off the spit and
inside the harbor, where they now lie
! on the bottom, practically submerged.
BY working hard they succeeded in
bringing in a five-funneled cruiser,
which sank in the harbor the next day.
I'VE had great difficulty in getting
away. We were obliged to take 500

TOXIC MINISTRY
ABAND0NS PART
OF TAX PROJECT

TOXIC, March 21.-As a result of the
series Of conferences between the party
leaders, It seems certain that the Gov
ernment will abandon its attempt to
create a salt monopoly and to place
tax on silk and will make a smaller in
crease in the land tax than was origi-
nally proposed.
The members Of the Cabinet are
holding a series of conferences with the
party leaders, who have been explain
ing how the interests Of the people
they represent are affected by the war
taxes. The Cabinet is endeavoring to
frame measures which will prove sat-
isfactory TO the people.
There is a growing feeling that the
Government should not attempt the
immediate payment of large part Of
the cost Of the war by taxation, but
that il should issue bonds and extend
the payments over a series of years.
A vote of thanks TO the navy for its
victories off Port Arthur, which will be
moved in the House of Representatives
tomorrow, will praise the valor and
heroism Of the officers and men and ex-
press the gratitude of the nation.
Prince Pu Lun, the Commissioner Of
China to the st. Louis Exposition, who
left Shanghai for Great Britain on his
way to the United States on March IA.
arrived in Toxic to-day. He was ac-
corded an official welcome and was es-
corted to one of the palaces, where he

ALL JAPAN is TRANQUIL.
NJ. Bechaere, another Of the Coptic's

February 10. Bechaere was the repre-
sentative in Manchuria Of a Belgian
syndicate and was ordered out OF the
country shortly before hostilities COM
menced. The vessel upon which he
took passage called at Port Arthur and
was detained in the harbOr for several
hours. Bechaere saw the sunken Rus
sian ships, but was not ashore and did
not learn until some time later just
what had occurred at Port Arthur.
Japan, according to Bechaere, is the
most peaceful place he ever visited

Captain j. F. Lea, the British navy
officer who took the cruiser Nisshin
from Genoa to Yokohama for the ia
panese Government, also was a passen-
ger on the Coptic. He is on his way
back TO England, where he is engaged
in farming. Captain Lea was decorat-
ed by the Japanese Emperor and
brings with him many presents re-
ceived from the people Of Japan as part
of their patriotic thank you for his
services in safely navigating the MIS-
shin from the Old World port at which
she was built. Captain Paynter, who
commanded the Kasuga, the other
cruiser, purchased by Japan from the
Argentine republic, came back on the
Siberia and is now we'll on his way to
England.
