 Celebrated-Thirty at Dinner.


 Of interest to their many Norwich friends will be an extract from letter showing how Consul and Mrs. George E. Eager celebrated Thanksgiving day at the United States consulate in Bar men. Germany, with a genuine New England dinner. Both the consul and his wife are of New England birth and percentage, so that 1t is no wonder they could rot help being loyal to this great New England institution. Writing to her parents, MT. and Mrs. Charles w. Spalding of this city,, Mrs. Eager says of their Thanksgiving dinner:
 We planned and carried to a suc- cess dinner in our best hotel here for the American residents of Rhineland and Westfalen, and thirty people sat down to turkey dinner last night here in Barmen, from Chicago, Milwaukee, Kankakee. Jersey City, New Bedford, Mass. Pittsburg, Pa, Toledo Ohio, and Indianapolis, Ind. We sang the na- tioonal airs. After a few words of welcome by Consul Eager we sang America My cook made plum pud- dings with hard sauce for the dinner, and we all drank her health, because she told the hotel chef how to make mashed turnips and creamed onions and the filling for the turkeys. The turkeys were paraded arfound the ta- DleS decoraLeu WlLn American ndSs py the walters. The plum buildings were served burning, with the lights out.
 Consul Dunlap of Cologne made very interesting remarks, toasting the pres ident and Emperor William. Dancing was kept up to a late hour.
 Consul Eager in his efforts to bring the Americans together on this day was assisted by his vice consul, MT. Charles Wright of Toledo, Ohio. A toast "to our loved ones at home" was drunk to the last drop. The consulate kept open house to all Americans in the vicinity on that day.

system, orders can be sent for contra
band goods, and delivered at arranged
points, to prevent which an army OF Of
ficials would have to he stretched over
a line Of 1000 miles. Even with a po-
lice force extending from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, still the smuggling trade
will be prosperous, for the aeroplane
does not have to stop to make a de-
livery of dutiable goods. A key Of
whisky loaded in the aeroplane in Cam

In the wilderness of a Maine forest and
hunters, lumbermen and guides, all
evade the prohibitory laws. And this Is
not the worst of it. California and
cheap Chinese labor would be then a
problem, only to be solved by exterm-
nation. A we'll regulated and commod-
ious aeroplane, could deliver 1000
Cinnamon day into this country.
Starting from a point of say three
miles in Canada, with favorable winds
a loaded aeroplane could unload Its oc-
cupants in ten minutes three miles on
this side Of the line. So what is the
use of congress passing foreign ex-
clusion laws, what is the use of revis-
ing the tariff? The aeroplane in COM
mon use in four years, will necessitate
an extra session of congress, to pass
laws concerning "the common carrier"
the aeroplane. And such laws will have
to be international in character and
scope. Even aeroplane treaties will be
in vogue.

JUDGES AND HUMAN NATURE,

A Missouri congressman is asking
for an investiga ton of couple of fed
eral judges, one of whom is Iowa's
pride and ornament of the federal
bench, Judge Smith Mcpherson. He
finds serious fault over the entertain
ment on fishing excursions, ETC., of
federal judges by the attorneys of rail-
roads especially when these judges
must and do pass upon cases in which
railroads are vitality concerned as
plaintiffs and defendants. So he wants
an Investigation.
Perhaps an investigation might I'M
cover something but investigations by
congressional committees are usually
along the lines and reach about the
same results as those arrived at in the
investigation of Colonel Brander by the
cowboy committee in the Texas
Steer" It will be remembered that the
committee was entirely willing to ex-
onerate the Colonel If nobody started
an investigation OF the committee.
Perhaps there Is nothing wrong with
federal judges faring forth on a fish
ing Jaunt or an excursion with rail-
road attorneys It Is quite possible that
federal judges might be the guests OF
the general managers Of the railroads
and circle the continent in their pri-
vate cars and yet go back to the bench
and deal with absolute justice and
equity btween the roads and the peo-
