 The period was extended probably tc allow further time for the comple- tion of the Panama canal.-Hartford Telegram.
 Three months ago about two thirds of the news columns of the daily press were devoted to Con- gressman Mick" Longworth and his bride, Miss Alice Roosevelt. Now MT Longworth is taking his turn at it. It is said he is engaged in filling his twentieth scrapbook with clippings about his engagement.-Winsted Cit izen.
 School Superintendent Maxwell of New York tells story of a minister who was called in to preach the fu- neral sermon of the head of the fam fly. He inquired of the dead man S son: Did you hear your fathers last words?" The answer was: He didn't have no last words Mother was with him to the end. Haven Journal and Courier.
 Senator Lodges haste in telephon- ing to the White house is mildly criticised as unfortunate. He was ac- tuated of course, says the Springfield Union, ''by the best of motives and a desire immediately to set the presi- dent right, but the lapse of day or two between the charge and the presidents reply might have helped wonderfully in maintaining har- mony." ."--Bridgeport Farmer.
 District Attorney Moran of Boston did not succeed in getting an indict- ment of the members of the legisla- ture of Massachusetts, suspected, by him and others, of bribery and cor ruption in connection with the defeat of the anti-bucket-shop legislation. But now that the grand jury has de- clined to find probable cause for a criminal prosecution, the members of the legislature will investigate the case and try to find out what basis there is, if any. for the charges of fraud.--Bridgeport Standard.
 The Norwich Record complains that some of the elm trees in that city are on their last 'limbs, so to speak, from the ravages of the elm tree beetle. The elm trees of the Rose of New England" like those of all the older Connecticut cities which have taken care of their trees, have been beautiful and great adornment to the city. The loss of these noble trees through the vile beetle is altogether to be deplored, but similar losses have occurred all over the state. Perhaps Luther Bur bank will give us an elm tree, the taste of which will kill the bugs. He has been able to do that sort of thing for some other trees and shrubs Bridgeport Standard.

A Pre-Nuptial Luncheon.


 This charming affair was given re- gently for bride-elect. The table was a dream. In the center. to simulate . lake, was an oblong mirror surround ed by smilax and trailing vines. On this lake white swans hoated. holding in their peaks narrow green ribbon which radiated to the place of each guest. where a swan was fastened to the place card. These birds had a box under the wings, large enough to con- tain the salted almonds. Pale green candles were also at each plate in giass holders. In the beak of each swan was the smallest of envelopes. sealed with a gilt heart. The card inclosed bore the names of the engaged couple. Celery soup with chopped parsley sprinkled over the top was served first, then creamed sweet breads In heart shaped pastry shells. Saratoga pota- toes, hot rolls, white grape and nut salad, pistachio ice cream in form of hearts. with an arrow of white. and individual heart cakes completed this green and white luncheon. Creme dc menthe was passed in the drawing room afterwards and all gave toasts to the honored guest.
 The hostess wore white with green trimmings. A pretty feature vas crowniug the bride with wreath of myrtle for good luck. and she gave each maid a pink garter to wear for a year to bring success in all afiairs of the heart.

Ex-Senator Chandler, the man who has President Roosevelt on the rack, keeps diary. 'tis said, and hence is considered pretty good authority for anything that he says. Neverthe- less the friends of Roosevelt seems to be sticking to him. Some people in an endeavor to discredit Chandler are saying that he is the man that
 cheated Tillman out of the presi- dency about thirty years ago. Some Roosevelt rooter must have spread

the interstate commerce commission. ought to be in position to ix railroad rates whenever the rates made by the railroads themselves are found. after complaint and hearing to be unreason- able. provided, of course. that there shall be the right of appeal to the courts. A
 Experience has shown that closer relationship and mutuality of interests are necessary to prevent the covert and destructive warfare between American railroads which produced the secret rate and rebate system ~.
 The magazine article says that. al- though MT. Rockefeller of the Standard Oil trust created the secret rebate sys- tenn. through the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads, the great est beneficiary of the diabolical sys- tenn in recent years was Andrew Car negie. or the Carnegie Steel company.
 It was by the secret rebates that John D. Rockefeller laid the foundation of the greatest fortune in the world. and the same secret rebate system later helped Mfr. Carnegie to the sec ond largest fortune in the world and to distance every acompetttors of the Cars negie Steel company. 2, a.st-r .7e.-9
 Mir. Carnegie. interviewed by wire less. replied Strange that I. who fought the Pennsylvania railroad most of my career. should be favored. Was with Vanderbilt building South Penn sylvania to Pittsburg. with Gould get ting Wabash into Pittsburg, built my self the Bessemer road to Pittsburg from Conneaut. all to compel the Penn sylvania railroad monopoly to give us equal rates to those obtained by com petition outside its grasp. Never asked for anything better.
 "Cassatt is entitled to credit. He is doing more than any other railroad off cial to establish equal rates for all by reducing extortionate rates of his pred ecessors and inducing other railroad systems to advance theirs.
 "Much less injustice exists today than in the past. but government regu- lation is imperative"

The menu is to consist of pressed chicken, garnished with hard boiled eggs. potato croQuettes. small sweet pickles. jelly, hot baking powder bis- cults, with cup custard and sponge cake for dessert.

A New Style.
MADAME MERRI.

Artificial and ribbon flowers will now have to take back seat in favor of a new style that has made its ap- pearance in the New York shops The new ones are made from Japanese palm fibre, and are % natural in ap- pearance that it is quite impossible to tell them from the real article. This is particularly the case with carna- tions and American Beauty roses. for a further resemblance to nature is added by their being perfumed like their natural prototypes So far as the expense goes, they cost but little moro than the natural nowerS

CHARLESTON, Wash, Sept. 19.-In
Charleston the action of the Fair asso-
citation in refusing to grant privileges
for the sale Of liquor at the fair
grounds is appreciated. At a mass
meeting last night at the Baptist
church the ladies of the w. c. T. U.
took up the matter Of giving support
to the fair. and they are assisted by
the entire moral element Of the town.
c. Murdoch was chairman of the
meeting and James Algie. Jr.. secre-
tary. Mr.. Murdoch said this morning:
I'VE are going to raise money for the
fair, and we will turn over to them
more than enough to compensate them
for the loss from the sale of liquor on
the grounds. Beside this we are going
to give the fair the best support 1t has
ever had In Charleston. We will par

our power to add to the success OF the
event"
The matter was generally discussed
at the meeting, and the people Of
Charleston believe now that the fair
will be an event the better class Of
people can attend and enjoy. In past
years 1t has been most unpleasant to
meet drunken people and pass by
places where liquor was sold.
A committee was appointed to So
licit funds from the business men. The
members Of the committee: Mesdames
Parks, Strand, McCready, Melvin and
Farnsworth. Charleston will prepare. at
least two floats for the parade. and the
citizens and school children will take
part in the parade.
