Congress met this week and the

was established, and these rules are
strictly adhered to by the succeeding
generation. The hotels are conducted
on strictly temperance principles, n
dancing and card playing are not al
lowed. One would think that such
rules as these would be irksoEle, but
such does not seem to be the case at
Minnewaska. Visitors there soon be-
come convinced that the rules are not
due to narrow mindedness, but spring
from sincere and honest conviction.
In the hotel parlor, at the bottom of a
crayon of the elder Smiley brothers,
is this inscription: "As For Me and Ny
House, We VIII Serve the Lord" This
tells the whole story of the seeming
~ rigorous rules Of the place. The
proprietors not only profess religion;
but, strange as it may seem in these
days, they actually live it, and the
moral atmosphere at their hotel is as
pure as the air that one breathes.
The view from this mountain top
needs be seen to be appreciated. On
one side of the Shawangunk is the
beautiful Waikiki valley II on the
other the park-like landscape of the
Rondout. In the distance are the
Highlands of the Hudson, the Berk-
shire hills, the Green mountains of
Vermont and the C%atskills, a scene of
indescribable beauty and charm.
There would be something wrong
with the makeup of an editor who,
after spending three days amid such
surroundings as these, did not return
to his desk better equipped to take up
the strenuous duties of his profession.
The members of the outing commit
tee, to whom mitch credit is due for
the success of the affair, were Mr..
Robinson, Mr.. Cliff and Mr.. Mason.

One day on q Solomon beach a little

of 1t, placed my foot on her neck. One

was soon explained. Shortly afterward
down cane a lot of villagers and in
sisted on taking the youngster. I told
them what she had done. They said
they did not care. Her mother was be-
ing cooked in the town, and the child
should go to the ovens with her.
"Neyerr' l said. What. We, who
have eaten betel nut together many
times, to quarrel for a mere child to

A bold front was the only thing now.
Luckily 1 had my sixteen shooter.
Springing back and putting a mark on
the sand with my foot, I swore I would
shoot the first man who crossed it.
They knew l could answer for a dozen
of them or so, and, although clubs were
up and bows bent, they hesitated, as
well they might, and l knew I had
mastered them. Then one proposed I

and passage was then taken OF one

To those unfamiliar with Lake Min

might be interesting. 1t is located on
that part of the Appalachian mountain
range known as the S-hawangunk
mountains, where an estate of 1000
acres is owned by the Smiley brothers.
One brother has charge of the Wild
mere and the other the Cliff House,
Just across the lake, giving personal
attention to their guests. Mohonk,
another estate of 1000 acres, is owned
by an uncle of the Smiley brothers
and one of two brothers who founded
both these famous mountain resorts.
All through the hills of the Mime
yyaska lake region are ~driveways and
paths leading to points of great nat
ural beauty. The development of this
rugged country has been possible only
by the expenditure of a vast sum of
money.
Good Place For Quiet Outing.
Lake Minnewaska is indeed "far

On Saturday evening the annual
banquet was held. After the guests
had partaken of the excellent menu
provided by Proprietor Smiley adj
dresses were made by Assemblyman
w. w. Smalley of Somerset county
and Rev. DIR. John Handley, district
superintendent of the New Brunswick
district of the New Jersey Methodist

Mr.. Gum In assuming the office plead
ed for the cooperation of every mem
Der of the association in making his
administration a success. At the con
clusion of the banquet the members Of
the party gathered in the hotel parlor
and enjoyed an informal program Of
vocal and instrumental music.
Sunday was a day of rest. No car
riage riding is allowed at Minnewaska
that day, but the more ambitious of
the party took walks to various places
of interest. In the morning DIR. Hand
ley conducted a religious service and
preached a very able sermon on "The
Laws of God Are Perfect" The com
ments on the sermon from people all
over the country who were stopping
at the hotel filled the hearts of all
the %Jerseymen, and particularly the
friends Of DIR. Handley, with pride.

esting meeting developed.
Home by Different Route.
Monday morning, with reluctance.
the guests packed their grips and babe
goodby to Minnewaska. To avoid
nonotony the homeward trip was by
q different route from the one by which
the lake was reached. The guests
were taken by carriage to Kerhonkson,

ly furnished, and on the walls of its
decks are beautiful paintings of scenes
along the Hudson made famous by
Legend and history. On this trip the
party enjoyed the courtesies Of Mr.. +.
NJ Wv ueeralra, lE Of
the Xfbany Day line.
Arriving at Poughkeepsie, the party
was transferred by ferry to Highland
and thence to New Paltz by trolley
through a very picturesque section of
country. At New Paltz carriages from
the two hotels at Lake Minnewaska, the
Wildmere and Cliff House, were in
waiting to convey the party to their
destination at the top of the mountain.
The carriage ride consumed about five
hours, but the country traversed was
so delightful In it's primitive beauty
that none thought the journey too
long. Across the Waikiki valley, dot
ted with farmhouses, the trip led up
the mountain side, the road winding
like the letter S to avoid as much as
possible a steep ascent. All along this
mountain road are precipitous cliffs,
huge rocks. gurgling streams and falls
and cascades of pure and sparkling
water.
Rest After Long Trip.
Upon reaching the lake, which is
1900 feet above sea level, the mem
bers Of the party were assigned to
their rooms either at the Wildmere or
Cliff House. The hotels were not
reached until just time for dinner, and
in consequence of the long journey and
the natural fatigue incident to the trip
no entertainment had been provided
for the evening.
Saturday morning was devoted to
carriage trips over the many interest
ing drives radiating from the mou
tain's summit. The most popular trip
was to Lake Mohonk. The road from
Lake Minnewaska to this popular re-
sort stretches for several miles along
the side of a mountain. The Waikiki
valley, with it's patches of green and
~ripening grain, lies 500 feet below, and
above the road rise rugged cliffs to the
height of several hundred feet. Some
of the powders project far out over
the drive. and the roadway itself seems
TO have been chiseled out of the rocks.
One of the wonders of this road to
every one who travels it is that such
a driveway should eve have been
thought possible along such a high
and precipitous cliff.
Leaving the Undercliff road, as IL
is called, which takes a practically
level course along the mountain side,
there is another winding climb up the
mountain to Lake Mohonk. The scene
that greets the eye here is almost i'm
possible of description. Minnewaska
is marvellous for its natural beauty,
but at Mohonk the work of nature has
been marvelously enhanced by the
hand of man. Here are well kept
lawns Of natural slope, flower gardens
Astounding In variegated foliage and a
large hotel filing every want hat NOR
tai man might desire except intoxi-
eants. Across the lake from the hotel
is Sky Top, rising majestically from
the waters edge and affording a mag
nifcent panoramic view of the SUR
rounding country as far as the eye
can see.

PHILIPPINE SUGAR QUESTION
SUBJECT OF A LONG AND
SHARP DISCUSSION.
TAFT'S VIEWS Quoted
AMEN TO ADMIT SUGAR
INTO THE ISLANDS FREE
VOTED DOWN.

Washington.-Sugar was the stirring
subject before the Senate Monday. 1t
was brought to the front in connec-
ton with the consideration of the
finance committees substitute for the
House provision of the tariff bill reg
ulating the admission of Philippine ar
ticles into the United States and re-
ceived practically the undivided atten-
ton of the Senate throughout the
day.
During the first hour there was
some discussion of the effect of the
prOvisiCs on the tobacco interests Of
Connecticut, but an amendment look
ing to the introduction of Connecticut
tobacco into the Philippines for wrap
pers had the effect of relieving the sit
uation in that quarter.
Immediate attention was then di-
rected to the clauses providing a duty
on sugar admitted into the Philippines
equal to that on sugar brought into the
United States, and eXemptng 100000
tons of Philippine sugar from duty
when brought into the United States
Senator Bristow criticized both pro.
visions. and his criticisms opened the
way for general debate between
Bristow and Clapp on one side, and
Aldrich and Lodge on the other. 1t
was contended on the one hand that
the two provisions combined were in
tended to promote the interests OF the
American sugar trust and not to ben
eft the Philippine producers. 1t was
argued by the supporters of the pro-
vision that the sugar producers Of the
Philippines would be benefited by the
admission of their sugar into the
United States without requiring the
paymnt of duty on it.
The only vote taken during the day
session was on an amendment by Mr.
Bristow admitting sugar into the Phil
| ippines free Of duty. 1t was lost, I
to 40.
Senator Stone of Missouri gave no.
| tice that he would soon offer an
amendment declaring for the indcpend-
ence of the islands within fifteen years,
an agreement having been meanwhile
arrived at with the world powers for
the maintenance of the independence
of the islands.
1t was freely stated around the Sen
ate chamber that the Philippine para
graph had the Endorsement of PTesi
dent Taft in his own handwriting and
later Senator Aldrich stated that It had
been indorsed by the President. Sena-
tor Clapp expressed inCredulity on that
point.

the habit of getting up during the
night in a state of somnambuIism,
taking pen ink and paper and writing
original sermons. When he had fin
ished a page he would read aloud
what he had written and correct it.
In order to ascertain whether the SOM
nambuist made use of his eyes, the
archbishop held piece of cardboard
under his chin to prevent his seeing
the paper. He continued to write
without being in the slightest degree
incommoded.
One of the most recent painful
cases of somnambuism is that of Will
liam f. Mclean, graduate of Prince
ton last year and member of the
baseball and basketball teams, who
was found dead early on the morning
of March 81 on the railroad tracks
near the North Philadelphia station

Strictly Moral Gold Camp.

Albuquerque, N. M.-No dogs, no
booze, no drunkards, and no loaded
guns are to be allowed in camp and no
loud noise or talking after 10 O'Clock
at night, according to the rules and
regulations drawn up by a committee
for the new gold camp at Pine Shadow,
on the west side of the Manzanus
mountain in Priest canon. Persons.
who get drunk are to be escorted to
the limits of the camp and all persons
are required to unload their guns at
the edge of town. Saloons are strictly
barred and dogs running loose are to
be shot, while loose horses will be
taken up and the owner required to
pay a fine. If the committees reGula-
tions are to be strictly observed, the
gold camp will be unique. Prospectors
are still arriving and there are several
hundred on the ground, according to
Jud Cravens, who has arrived at Es-
tancia from the camp. Cravens says
that he is the original discovercr of
the gold and claims to have found at
