ORIGINAL FANCY DRESS PARTY.

One of the most original and sue
cessful affairs of the season was
the fancy dress ball given on last
Tuesday night by twenty of our
town girls, styling themselves the
"M. NJ MS" The house was beau
tifully decorated with golden rod
and jack-o-lanterns, which together
with the attractive costumes worn,
made it a veritable fairyland, the
color scheme carried out being pink
and green. Dainty refreshments
were served, the peanuts being
placed in bowl followed out of a
pumpkin shell. Among those pres
emit were: Misses Jesse Evans,
Gabrielle and Annals Boudouspuie,
Flossie and Marion Smith, Pauline
and Anna friedrich, Eta and Els
telle Evans, Lou Lyons, Mae Pool,
Moss Turner, Eva Kennedy, Ethel
Bougere, Clara Faulk, Bertha Per
reand, Nellie Hennessey and Julie
Charropin, and Mines. Clay Hebert
and F. j. Heintz.
Last, but not least, the dear Gov
ington girls take this opportunity
to thank their mysterious friend :
for the remembrance so thought
fully sent, which, under the existing
circumstances was more than ap'
preciated. They drank his health
and toasted him that he may live
long and prosper. An odd feature
Of the occasion was that it was "a
hens party" not one man CD or
the scene.

WRECKED BEYOND REPAIR.
New Idea Monoplane Meets Disaster
in Maiden Flight.

NEW YORK. July Elm its maiden
flight a n-thousand-dollar new idea
monoplane, equipped with twin revolving
motors and twin propellers, was wrecked
beyond repair yesterday at the Mineola
aviation field, and its pilot Arthur Stone.
was stunned and badly cut, but escaped
mira culously with his life.
The monoplane was designed by Willis
Mccormick. 1t showed plenty of speed,
but proved unruy at the turns. and the
stiff wind blowing finally upset 1t.
Straight for the earth it plunged from a
height Of fifty feet with full power on.
AS it struck a great cloud of dust went
up and the crash could be heard for a
mile Nobody expected to see Stone
alive, but he was picked up breathing
and rushed to tho nearest hospital

SENATE'S LONGER HOURS
MAY HASTEN ADJOURNMENT
Daily Sessions to Begin at IL
O'Clock and Continue
Until 8.

Final action i'm the Senate on the Ca
madam reciprocity bill doomed a good
deal bigger on the horizon. indicating
that it Is getting nearer, when the Sem
ate adjourned last sevening
1t had been decided that, to hasten the
consideration of the measure the Senate
should meet daily at IL O'Clock and con-
tinue in session until 6 o'clock in the
evening. That will give the insurgents
who desire to make long speeches on the
measure plenty of time for their talks.
This decision. too, 1t is thought will
hasten the adjournment of the special
session. After the reciprocity bill has
been acted upon some of the demo-
cratic tariff revision bills will be brought
up, but 1t Is understood that the demo-
Gratis do not intend to consume much
time in talking on them and will be sat
isfied with record roll calls.

tory explanation that he was mot as
Stunning to defend the administration" be-
cause the administration needs no de-
Tense" made a speech In behalf of the
Canadian reciprocity bill In the senate
yesterday. He declared that reciprocity l.
the ultimate destiny" of Canada and the
United States: that all natural conditions
were opposed to the maintenance OF bor-
der warfare in commercial matters. and
that the farmers of the United States
would not suffer injury from the enact
ment of the Canadian agreement
Senator Burton was most emphatic in
his Endorsement of the agreement He de-
clared he came from a state widely in
terested In agriculture. and that the reci-
procity agreement would not injure the
farmers interests there.
The intention OF this proposal for reci-
procity is not to reduce the prices of ar
ticles sold by the farmer. The slight
loss Of producers Of particular articles
and in specific localities is overba lanced
by the benefits which will be conferred
upon the whole people.
Il enter my protest" snid Senator Bur-
ton. against any policy which looks to
the maintenance Of duties on the most
essential foods-the bread and meat
which the people eat-when the present
supply shall prove insufficient"
