Church Receptions

The V. NJ. |. Cadet: To a Key
det' there Is nothing more appeal
ing than a church reception, for it
includes the true essentials OF an
ideal good time, namely, eats and
Gales. Such an occasion of enjoy
ment was afforded by the Presbyte-
rian and Methodist churches last
Friday night. 1t is rarely the for
tune of the corps to meet the people
of Lexington socially, and it GER
tainly was a pleasure for the old
men to renew their old acquaint-
ances and for the rats" to make
new ones. The men who attended
certainly wish TO thank the church
authorities. Their only regret is
that so early departure was neces-
sary.

Railroads Deserve Credit
The good citizenship of the state of Illinois should
applaud this action the part of the railroads. 1t
shows disposition their part to observe the law
and to cooperate with the reputable citizens of the
state in securing it's enforcement We hope that this
action will be appreciated by the friends of temperance
and that the religious press of the will take due
notice of this most commendable action.
The first credit should be given to the railroads
for their fairness and justice in coming to this con-
cuson. But there is something further to be said
On the first day of last August the superintendent OF
the Ant-Saloon League of Illinois addressed letter
to all OF the railroads operating in Illinois, calling their
attention to the fact that the general law of the
made it unlawful to sell Intoxicating liquors dining
cars or buffet The matter has been thrashed
for the past six months and the conclusion noted
has just been arrived We are glad indeed that such
favorable conclusion could be reached by the action
OF the railroads themselves.
Every citizen of the state of Illinois, who believes
in the enforcement of the law and who has had oc-
casion at times to take meal in dining car has been
outraged by the open and fragrant violation of the law
of this state in the sale of liquor dining cars The
writer has number of times been compelled to keep
company with beer bottle whisky glass on the
side OF the table opposite him. and has thus been
forcby reminded of the open and fragrant violation of
the law OF his state Such experience is unpleasant
and such condition is repugnant to every right
thinking citizen But that condition is passing away
The action taken by the railroads in their agreement
not to sell liquors dining their equipment
at ALL is long step toward the recognition of the in
tegrty of law, and toward it's perfect enforce
ment. Let give credit where credit is DUE Let the
roads that disseminating the sale of liquor have the
commentator of the good citizenship of the state.

her father through the conspir
acy- achieved by Alexis Razum-

After her accession to Russia's
throne, Elizabeth proposed mar
rage to Razumovsky, a request
equivalent to a command, and
married him morganatically in
the palace chapel.
Although Elizabeth had one
daughter, she made Peter of Hol-
stein, husband of the famous
Empress Catherine, her heir. The
marriage of Elizabeth and Raj
umovsky was not happy.
Elizabeth of England in the
thirteenth year of her reign found
her kingdom in such a perilous
crisis that she sent an ambassador
to the Emperor Macmillan at
Spires, informing him that she
would be willing to make alliance
with his brother, the Archduke
Charles.
The emperor replied that his |
brother 'had turned his thoughts
on another match and was now
engaged to a princess with whom |
there could be no disputes on the
subject of religion" Elizabeth
naturally grew wroth over the
ungracious refusal of her pro-
posal, declaring 'that the emper-
or had offered her so great an in
suit that if she had been a man |
instead of a woman, she would I

Elizabeth and to have become be-

ambition, hoping that she would

But the earl of Hartford had
been designated for that office,
Seymour and Catherine were
married in the chapel at White
hall with Elizabeth for a illness,
30 days after Henry's death, but
Catherine died, heart-brokent by
her husbands neglect and cold

Victoria of England proposed
