Many Cabinet Dinners Held In Old
Ship Tavern in London.

London.-The Ship tavern, one of
the most famous of London's riverside
inns, in Greenwich, has closed its
doors after an existence extending
back to the days of the great English
statesman, William Pitt, who de-
nounced the war against the American
colonies and after whom was named
Fort Pitt, from which the city of
Pittsburg takes it's name. 1t was at
the Ship tavern that Pitt instituted
the dinners during his time of 16
years as a member of the ministry.
In the days when Greenwich was a
fashionable riverside resort the Ship

New York.-Herman A. Metz, city

A few days ago the painful duty
devolved on him of notifying his 500
employees that it would be possible to
operate the mills only three days a
week. The gloomy countenances Of

The Changing Senate.

The veterans of the United States
senate are passing away, and their
departure is accompanied by a
change in the spirit or morale of
that body. The infusion of new
blood is substituting something which
resembles q democracy for an oil
garchy. The change is for the bet
ter. though it will crate on the ell
ings of the elder statesmen" whose
rule has been almost unchalIenged in
the past.
The senate was less amenable to
discipline and the subtle guidance of
the old parliamentary hands at the
last session than it has been for
years The democrats owed allegiance
to nobody, and number of the re-
publicans showed symptoms of in
dependence which were distressing
to the veterans. The indications are
that the influence of the long SER
vice men will be less in the next con-
gress than in this one.
The older men and the older Or
der of things are passing away.
Some senatorial traditions will suf-
fer, but the senate will become a
more representative body, nearer to
the people and more submissive to
them Chicago Tribune.

ception of a few errors on both sides,
splendid ball was played. but ser:

the batter single, and a safe and

enabled two men to come home, lost

church was alone in his study when
his honsekeeper brought him the card
Of one Of his parishioners, spinster
Of means and charm.
When the lady was seated on the OPP
postte side of his study table the rector
looked at her inquirlngly, expecting to
hear something concerning parish
work, in which she was active. To his
surprise an embarrassed silence en-
sued, during which he vainly sought
for something to say.
"Dr,. Blank" began the lady. at
last I'm faltering tones. "do you think
can you fancy conditions under which
a-a woman is-justiaed in proposing?'
"Why, yes" said the rector, utter
some elaboration.
Thou art the mani! said the lady
resolutely.
She was right.

Refrigerator Car Service for the Dairy
City Creamery Company.

On Friday morning, the five new
refrigerator cars, built by the Chi
cago Refrigerator Dispatch company
were hauled into the Manchester &
Oneida yards for inspection by the
officers and directors of the cream
cry.
For the past year or SO, the Dairy
City Creamery company has been
shipping on an average of five cars
of butter atweek. Two cars 90 to
Philadelphia, one to Chicago, ana
two full shipments made to southern
points. Such refrigerator cars were
used as could be secured from the
Chicago Great Western and Milwau-
kee lines. This service was not at all
satisfactory, as oftentimes cars would
be shipped to this station, in which
such articles as kerosene barrels and
the like had been carried. This
caused delay and much trouble in
cleaning the cars and preparing
them again for the butter.
The five new cars are for the ex-
elusive use Of the local centralizing
station, and bear the name of the
Dairy City Creamery company,
Manchester, Iowa, and the Delaware
Brand trade mark Of fancy butter.
They are painted a bright yellow
with black trimmings and lettering.
They are modern in equipment, with
a capacity of $4,000 pounds, and
weigh $4,000 pounds each. The
numbers run as follows: G. r. d.
92OS-9-lO-ll.l2. These cars will
be shipped direct to destinations.
and returned empty to the creamery.
This new refrigerator service not
only means increased business and
more adequate Accommodations for
shipping, but will, at the same time,
advertise in no small way the local
creamery and the splendid DAIRY
City" from which.the butter is ship
ped. For many years, this county
has been famous throughout the
country for dairy products. The

was once supplied with butter from
creameries in this county, and near
this city. Many New York whole
sale dealers in butter receive large
shipments from this section at pre-.
sent, and Philadelphia and Chicago
are both using Manchester butter in
large quantities.

The game was interesting, and
the fight ftrenuous. A few decisions
were most distasteful to the fans;
also to the batsman. Allen or Cobb
should not be expected to win Line

without a careful consideration OF
support. Opinion goes that Man

vidually; that the hitting was equal,
but that the Monticello pitcher en-
