John j. Cunneen, known a. the ma
chinist orator of Chicago, who spoke
from the car for some time. he devot-
ed himself particularly to picturing the
LIQUOR business, in manufacture and

of the profits of any enterprise, and por-
trsy ed the saloon ~ the nottingham

Reunion of Veterans.

The annual reunion of Co. +, 9th
Maine, and Co. G, Sth Maine Veterans,
was held at West Sumner on Wednesday,
the 3Oth of August. This association
and that of the Sumner Veterans united,
and it made one of the most pleasant
and enjoyable meetings We have ever
had.

president of both associations. At the
business meeting Of the two companies,
C and F, the following officers were
elected:
President-Daniel A. Rowe.
Vice Presidents-J. A. Noyes and Frank j.
Brown.
Sec. and Treas.-F. L. Wyman.
1t was voted to meet next year at
West Sumner, under the management OF
Comrade D. A. Rowe, the new president
of the association.
After the business meetings OF the
two associations had been held bounti.
ful dinner was spread in the vestry OF
the church by w. A. Barrows Relief
Corps, and the former high record OF
the ladies of this corps was fully main
tanned in furnishing everything that
heart or stomach could wish. About
$50 sat down to the tables. The vestry
was decorated with red, white and blue
tissue paper, numerous flags and beauti'
full bouquets.
After dinner all marched up into the
church to the music Of fife and drum
PLAYED by Comrades Warren and Bridg
ham of Buckfield. Fine music wal
furnished by the West Sumner choil
who gave Us the old war songs Of g.
and '85.
A portion Of the time was taken up b!
the veterans In short speeches, and thel
Hon. John P. Swasey was called on q
the speaker of the afternoon. he dwell
on the great prosperity OF the countr!
brought about by the sacrifices OF 1t
citizen soldiers in the great conflict, blu
said he wanted the country TO do some
thing more. He wanted 1t to prOvid
we'll for those of its defenders who still
remain alive, In providing liberal pen
sions. We all had confidence in his tall
on this subject, because We all know o
his loyal action in defending tn

The Giving of Tips.

Every person of solid sense must, 1t
seems to me, agree with your statement
that "That there is nothing more de-
moralizing than the idea OF getting
something more than has been earned
which is cultivated by our growing and
una merican system of tips" All the
blame for this "system of tips" Is gener-
ally placed upon the employers of those
to whom the tips are given, but those
who give the tips are justly chargeable
with q portion of the blame. On the
printed bill of fare of one of the leading
restaurants in Boston Ia this standing
notification to Its patrons: I'VE object
to fees being given to the mattresses.
All guests are equally entitled to prompt
and courteous service, and we shall deem
It a favor If they will report any incivil-
ity or want OF attention on the part OF an
employee" Often dining In that restau-
rant az do when In Boston, l can, from
personal experience, affirm that 1t Is not
necessary to give tips to the mattresses
In order to get prompt, courteous and
efficient service, and yet, In spite OF the
fact that the proprietor of the restaurant
expressly requests that bis mattresses
shall not be given tips by his patrons, !
often see diners there deliberately disre.
gard the request and furtively give tips.
The proprietor of that restaurant, by
reaue sting his patrons to give NO tips to
his mattresses, endeavors to keep bis
estaurant free Of the tipping nuisance,
and, il the public would do its part
by acceding to his request, the nuisance
would be unknown In that restaurant
This tipping nuisance is growing "worse
and worse and more Of It" 40 the years
90 by. People are now expected to IRE
member" their postman with Christmas
or New Years gift each year, and IT THU
tip giving custom goes on increasing II
the future az in the past, the time vii
come when We shall be obliged to give
| tip to the grocer when We buy q pound
OF sugar and to the street corner news
boy when We buy newspaper. II clubs
can be run without the tipping nuisance
AS they can be and are-why shoult
people be subjected to the nuisance
anywhere? ScRuTAToR.

Messrs. Blsbee and Hudson Speak


On short notice, another prohibition
meeting was added to the series held
during the past week. Tuesday morn
ing arrangements were made for ad-
dresses here by Hon. George D. Bisbee
of Rumford and Hon. Henry Hudson OF
Guilford. They had been scheduled for
Bryant's Pond for Wednesday evening,
but owing to other arrangements there
the date had been Cancelled, and on that
evening they spoke here in New Hall.
There was fair audience present
when the meeting was called to order at
8 O'Clock by Alton C. Wheeler. As at
the other meetings, number of citizens
occupied seats on the stage.
Mr.. Wheeler spoke only briefly, allud.
ing to the fact that there Is no party
politics In this question, as is demon.
strated by the fact that these two speak
ers, one prominent in the Republican
party and the other in the Democratic
party, were touring the state together IL
behalf of prohibition. Mr.. Bisbee wat
presented as the first speaker.
Mr.. Bisbee did not speak at length
and did not discuss the moral phases oil
the question, but treated it from the
practical standpoint of what Is best fol
the town, the locality, or the state
The movement for repeal of the amend
ment, be said, was started by the liquor
interests, and is backed by them will
money, because they want to increas'
their business. They are not putting
out speakers to advocate their cause
publicly, but are sending out secre
emissaries in the guise Of canvassers ant
peddlers. The real question ia license
or no-license, nothing else. He urget
that Maine should hold firm, and pre-
dicted that in few years we shall hav
relief from congress, which will forbit
the carrying of liquor into states wher
its sale is prohibited.
Mr.. Hudson was then introduced, ant
spoke nearly an hour, covering man!
phases of the question. He said that b
is glad to do this work, even at some In
convenience to himself, because he be
leves it 10 the best service he can rende
the state, and Throughout he displaye'
an intense earnestness. He revlewe
the history of the prohibitory law Q
Maine, and claimed Democratic credi
for the first law with teeth In 1t, whic
was signed by Governor Hubbard. Tn
two popular votes on prohibition wer
cited, one which in 1858 endorsed th
prohibitory law by Ave to one, and th
other which in 1884 put prohibition ]
the constitution by three to one, and b
urged that We shall not 90 back on on
record. This is moral question, b
said, there is no party politics In i
} Many Democrats will vote no. A "
vote IL no part Of the Democratic creet
and can not be made SO. This point b
particularly emphasized and reiterated

was music by the Sunday School Or
