A Shower for Miss Field.

Madison, Neb., Oct. Especial to
The News: Thursday evening was
the occasion of the Anniversary club
meeting at the home of G. S. Snyder
of this c.,y, 1t being the anniversary
of Mrs. d. @. Nicholson and Mrs. w.
II. Fields. Incidentally, it afforded
the opportunity of shower in honor
of Miss Anna Field, daughter of
Clerk of the District Court w. H.
Field, and it seems that the ladies of
this social gathering are trying to out
do themselves in making each sue
ceeding function more elaborate and
particularly unique than the one pre-
ceding. The guests arrived shortly
before 6 o'clock and promptly at 6
p. m. the gong sounded and they were
ushered into the dining room where
all was a profusion of beauty, the
prevailing colors being pink and
green. Over the table hung a large
bell decorated with pink and green
cut flowers and leaves and a dozen
tiny bells suspended from the large
one, and lying on the table were pink
flowers interviewer with vines. At
each plate was a very pretty place
card bearing the picture of a bride
with the names of each guest written
thereon. Soon all were engaged in
partaking of a splendid dinner, after
which toasts were proposed to the
bride-elect, and responses were then
INDUCED in. w. l.. Bowling acted as
POSTMASTER for the occasion and dis
played rare taste and ability in that
direction.

responded to by Charles e. Pearse;

followed the presentation by Mes
danes Willis E. Reed and George A.
Davenport, consisting of all the kitch-
en- tinware made up in the shape Of
housemaid wearing a large kitchen
apron, with the best wishes of the
donors.
1t was certainly a distinct and
unique compliment to Miss Field and
an occasion to be remembered by all
the members of the club.

hold. who were thrown into a panic
In Chicago yesterday after discover.
ing that a crank had set bomb un.
der her home, returned to America
from England on the steamer Maure-
tania only a few weeks ago. C. r.
Allen OF Durant, Okla, who visited in
| Norfolk this week, was a passenger
on the same boat. In Mrs. Palmer's
party were seventeen persons, includ-
Ing her daughter, her son-in-law, their
children and a number of servants.
Besides Mrs. Palmer, there were 9TH
er notables on the steamer. including
Paul Morton and Maude Adams, the
actress.
The Mauretania, according to Mr..
Allen, is veritable palace on the
sea. 1t is known as "the millionaire's"
boat. Some of the suites sell for
$1,000 for the four days trip. The
ship carries $500 passengers, besides
the crew of 500 and it requires 1900
tons of coal to run the ship a day.
Twenty-eight trainloads of coal are
required to stock the steamer with
fuel for its quick run. The speed
Misunderstanding miles an hour, or
as much as the speed of an ordinary
train-is the cause of the burning up
of so much fuel.
Mr.. Allen was returning from a
months visit with his brothers and
sisters in England. One brother from
India, chief engineer of that province
and acting governor during the alb
sence of Lord Curzon, and another
brother from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
were at home in England for the fam
lily reunion.
But for all the fact that he enjoyed
his visit, Mr.. Allen was glad to get
back to America. He likes America
and American ways better than those
of the mother country.
Wages of the laboring class in Eng
land are not what they are in Ameri-
ca. The English woman pays her cook
$50 year, her nursemaid $40 a year.
etc. Farmhands in that country
where free trade is in operation
get s. per month and board them
selves.
The American department store in
London is said to be not as much of
success as had been hoped and plans
are under way to incorporate it with
British stockholders.
Bookkeeping in London is differ
ent, too. Many stores don't open for
business until 10 a. m.
On London bus one may ride all
over town for scent piece while
taxicab can be had the whole day
long for 81, as compared with the tax
of dollar pretty nearly every time
the wheel goes around in New York.
The English think Roosevelt is the
greatest living man, Mr.. Allen says,
and they agree with him in his Guild
Hall speech censuring the Egyptian
department of the government. The
English likewise have great respect
for President Taft and believe that
his administration will be successful
one and that it will win entire ap-
prevail. The English are greatly in.

of the large amounts of money they
have invested on this side of the wa

If you should happen to see a per-

guage, became interested in it in a
passing way in New York City, where
he met DR.. Ludwig Zamenhoff of Mos

this language before the world for
twenty years, says Mr.. Beeler, and
1000 delegates from nearly every
