Fifteen years have elapsed since DR..

bright May morn, the petite and at
tractive Miss Matte Gathings. For
this happy occasion, the home was
most artistically decorated. The same
kind of flowers, cape jessamine and
Magnolias, that were used at the
marriage were used on the anniver-
sary. The hallway was beautiful in
red and green. The guests were vel
coined by Mrs. Randolph and Miss
Augusta Morris, and asked to sign
the crystal register. From there they
were escorted to the frappe bowl,
where Misses Lolita Rubel and Leila
Fortson gracefully served frappe, be
hind a beautiful archway of red and
green, Cleaning out from behind this
arch were the figures 1898 1908. In
the parlOr the decorations were green

The walls were festOoned with south /
ern smilax, cape jessamines and mag /
nolias. The refreshments were serv-
ed in two courses which were deli /
cious. The buffet and side-board I
were banked with the same lovely I
white flowers, which seemed to vac
with each other in waiting their
sweetest fragrance for this happy oc-
casion. The table was covered in
handsome Mexican drawn lunch
cloth. in the center of which was pre-
sented a miniature lake, around which
was placed fifteen white waxen tap
ers. Those receiving in the dining
room were Mrs. T. j Hulsey, Mrs.
Frank Harrell and Mrs Crunk, they
were assisted in serving by Misses
Crabtree and Foster. From
the dining room the guests were ush-
cred TO the hall, where they received
crystal favors tied with

more beautiful display of cut glass /
seen in OkoIona than on this occasion. /

much. At the close of the evening /

fingered at Message

BOSTON, April 2S.-NIembers Of the
steel and iron firms named rs parties
to 1he Boston agreement who have
been charged with collUsive bidding for
Boston city contracts, read the Presi-
dents message today with an anger
which many Of them did not hesitate 20
express.
They declare that the President has
done them al injustice. President
Smith, of the Smith & Lowell Company,
said:
"Our concern has never been mixed
up in any deal for city contracts, and
the Presidents message, in including
our name, is an injustice not only 10
our firm, but TO all other small dealers
in Boston who are also quite as limo
cent Of anycoliuslve bidding. It IS
an instance of where We are made the
scapegoat for The acts Of the fellows
higher I'D.
friendship among the iron and steel
dealers Of Boston We banded together
largely on social basis, as produce or
any other clique Of business men, The
purpose Of the association was merely
TO become acquainted with each other,
and not, as We understood, for cOllusive
bidding The President has jumped to
conclusions in this case. as has been
wont to do on other occasions. and
wa are made TO suffer His criticisms
do not hit us. It is decidedly unfair
20 US small dealers to be censured for
guilty acts Of the big dealers who got
the benefit OF the collusive bidding for
city contracts"
Other Boston dealers expressed prac-
ticaily the same views, declaring that
the blame. II any, should be heaDed
upon the big concerns. members of the
steel trust and that the President
has done them great and unmcrited
harm in bringing their names under his
general Ccnsure.

President Roosevelt, on the very
eve of the close of this session of
Congress, sent TO the House and Sen
ate yesterday another special mes
sage requesting in the most earnest
terms that Legislation he considers
necessary for the good of the coun-

belief that these two subjects
