Homes and Halls.

On Tuesday, Sept. &C. the relatives
and friends of Mr.. j. C. Butler gather
ed at his beautiful home to assist in
celebrating the siXty-siXth anniversary

full. The company numbering thirty
eight consisted of relatives from far
and near and a few near neighbors.
The most distinguished guest was
"Auntie" Rebecca Kindig, who is now
hale and hearty in her ninety-secOnd
year. A bountiful dinner was served
by the ladies and when appetites were
satiated the remains of the feast
taken up reminded one of the parable
of the loaves and fishes. Time was
pleasantly spent by the men in dis
GUESSING the tariff, politics in general
and contests among the Wits of
whom several were present By the
ladies in administering to the wants
of the inner man and such other ways
as ladies most enjoy themselves. The
men enjOved also profitable half

which is loaded with the finest apples
that can be grown in the state. Mr..
Butler received many presents to re-
mind him of the event, a pretty and
comfortable rocking chair being most
appreciated. The occasion will be re-
especially, by the relatives
as a happy family reunion. A photo
grapher was summoned and souven-
ir pictures taken of those present. At
a late hour farewells were said to Mr..
Butler, his good wife and her sister,
Miss Dell Kindig. all happy in remem-
brance of the delightful occasion.

open her markets to Philippine prod
ucts In consideration of the Philip
pines opening her markets to United
States products. In order to allay the
fears of those who raised sugar in the
United States, and Of those who
raised tobacco. we were obliged to
consent to Limitation Of 100000 tons
in the annual importation of sugar and
a certain amount of tobacco and
cigars. The effect of this change has
been marvellous. 1t was supposed that
II would deprive the government OF a
very considerable revenue derived by
duties imposed on imports from the
United States under the old system.
and, therefore, that the deficit would
have to be made up by internal rev.
enue taxes. Instead Of this, the In
crease in prices, due to access to the
United States market in the products
of the islands, has so increased them
purchasing power that they have been
able largely to increase the imports
from the United States and maintain
about the same imports from other
countries from which about the same
customs revenue is received.
Zone curious effect of the change
I say curious but which was prophe-
cied by some of the clear-headed-
was that the mere opportunity to go
into the markets of the United States
and sell behind the tariff wall, and
without the imposition Of duty, in
creased the prices of sugar, tobacco
and other products in the Philippines
without there being any actual i'm
portatfons into the United States at
all. The sugar and tobacco of the
Philippines of rather inferior char
acter was sold mostly in China, and in
near to the islands. The OPP
portunity that the Philippines had to
sell 1t in the United States immediate
ly raised the price Of sugar as sold
in China, and not more than $4,000
tons of the whole 100000 allowed as
limit, has been introduced from the
Philippines into the United States. So,
too, in tobacco a similar result fol-
lowed, although, perhaps so per cent.
of the amount allowed has been
reached in importations in cigars"
Mr.. Taft then told how the relations
Of the Catholic church to the gov
eminent had been successfully read
iusted and how the estates of the
friars were purchased by the United
States and re-sold. In conclusion he
