CROWDS ATTEND
THE RECEPTION,
Ladies of rlarietta Royalty
Entertained.
Unusual and Delightful Method of the
National Biscuit Company to Illus
trate the Goodness and Nutritious
Value of Their Products.

The throngs of ladies who attended
the reception given by the National Bis
cult Company Wednesday afternoon at
Armory Hall, enjoyed all entertainment
that was not only unique in the history
of this city, but was also unusual in the
benefits conferred upon the guests
From a social point of view, the affair
was a pronounced success, while the
benefits of better acquaintance with the
products of the National Biscuit Com
pany will be shared alike by the hosts
and these who enjoy their hospitality.
The thorough preparations that had
been made for the reception were most
apparent in the interior of the hall.
Purple and white, the National Biscuit
Companys colors, were everywhere in
evidence, suggesting the purple and
white package of Uneeda Biscuit, one of
the best and best known of the Com
pany's products, In every available
nook and corner were ornamental dis
plays consisting of artistic arrangement
or the packages containing the various
deicacies that have made the fame of
National Biscuit Company. The golden
yellow of the lemon snap formed har-
UOnlOuS contrast WITH the DrlgEJ req
packages of Graham Crackers and the
royal purple and white of the Uneeda
Biscuit. But all these and many other
good things were put to a better pur-
pose than decoration. The delighted
guests were served with refreshments,
which included beside the products
mentioned, other triumphs of the ba-
ker's art such as Butter Thin Biscuit,
Oysterettes, Zu Zu Ginger Snaps and
others, all of which have their purity
and goodness guaranteed by the trade
mark of the National Biscuit Company
on each end of the package.
Two most delicious corrections we're
served as dessert Nabisco Sugar Wa
fers and Festido Almonds. These de-
serve special mention, forming as they
do, class by themselves.
The committee having charge of this
reception express themselves as de-
rghted by the enthusiastic interest
manifested by the ladies of this city.
and the hearty cooperation of the
Journal and other papers in contributing
to the success of the entertainment
1t was a complete success as a social
event, and as an illustration of the
merit of the products of the National
Biscuit Company

SUPERFLUOUS NOISE.
English Criticism Of American Demon.
STATIONS In Sports.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
National idiosyncrasies are reflected not
only in serious pursuits, but In national
games. Base ball is not likely to become
an International sport In which there Is any
real rivalry. unless the nations become en-
dowed with American zest in the rapid
game. The London Outlook regrets that
Brttons and Americans cannot play base
ball on something like equal terms. and
comes to the conclusion that the American
conception OF sport Is hopelessly antagonis-
tic to the British at every point. English
men take their pleasures rather sadly. But
the Outlook is not altogether astray when
it arraigns the American ball game as Of
fensively noisy. 1t generously admits that
base ball Is "a really fine game in essence,
but the fielders are allowed ito yell at the
man with the club In order to rattle him.
the spectators are permitted to make "a
diabolical din" for the same reason; the
umpire's decisions, instead of being SUBJ
mitted to without murmur, as English
men receive a deliverance from the lord
high chancellor, are appealed from by a
circle OF yelling. gesticulating forms clad
like acrObats.''
1t must be confessed that there is much
force in the arraignment. Noise has become
an fnseparable incident of our national
game. and 1t may as we'll be confessed that
public interest in the sport would lapse at
once II proceedings were conducted In a
perfectly tranquil, self-composed and lady
like manner.
Seriously speaking the outcry of our
British contemporary against mere noise
as public grievance deserves some atten-
ton. Noise is easily misinterpreted as a.
sign OF vigorous enterprise in all lines of
human activity. There Is hustle of trade
which no one would suppress. The loudest
shouter Is not by any means the most ac-
complished and effective orator The best
work may be done without great clamor
and uproar. Noise Is commonly associated
with the fakir. who covers the pinchbeck
quality Of his wares by stridently proclaim
ing their virtues. Much Of the noise of the
city street Is entirely unnecessary, and
could be suppressed without injury to any
material interest
A society for the prevention Of din would
find fertile field for its benefcent offices
Some years ago the Society for the
prevention Of Cruelty to Animals in Munich
issued an order forbidding the superfiuous
cracking of whips, in order to save the
nerves OF horses. Humanity deserves SINH
lar consideration. Happily, the tendency of
civilization Is toward the suppression of su-
pernuous noise. In the busiest quarters Of
some cities wooden pavements have been
iaia 10 quiet to some extent the legitima re
noise OF traffic. The still alarm is far
more effective agency for the extinction Of
1re than the din of many bells.

Missouri's Zinc and Lead.
From the Louisville CONGRESSIONAL.

FROM the Louisville CourerJournal
Missouri claims in its zinc and lead de.

deposits of California or Colorado. While
IO0,OOO.0O0 worth Of these materials has
been taken out. 1t is asserted that their deveI-
opment has only begun. The states yield in
these minerals alone is claimed to have been
greater than the total product of Colorado.
1t produces so per cent of all the zinc and
80 per cent of all the nickel mined In the
United States. while its relative position az

which Is claimed to be quite as rich. IL not
more so, In zinc and lead than the former.
Notwithstanding the large output OF these
minerals the demand for them seems to
grow steadily with the supply. This should
stimulate the development of the fields in
southwestern Kentucky. which give promise
OF being both rich and widely distributed.

tention to their investigation.

Lived Up to the Sentiments.
These were the grand sentiments that our
fathers in the republican patriotism of their
hearts announced at their Independence

that this great and growing republic of

was delivered by George Sweeney president

members of the organization made patriotic
addresses. There was Il reoast and many
toasts suitable to the occasion were drunk.
