Il 3. I. LIS. GIVE RECEPTION
TO p. e. O's.

Saturday evening witnessed at the
Commercial Club Rooms one of the
most pleasing events participated in
by the people of Payette for many
a day. A sight long 10 be remem-
bered was the banquet t-b.e spread
by the B. !. LIS. in honor of their
guests the P. E. O's. o. Chapter c.
The ladies entered the banquet hall
with feelings of trepidation because
of the profound secrecy maintained
by the gentlemen in their prepara-
tions for the occasion.
Not only the arrangement of the
tables to form a star but the yell
low and white of the marguerite car
ried out the idea of the emb ems o
the sisterhood. Added to this the
beautiful gowns of the lad es made
the whole a charming scene.
In the centre of the table minia-
ture lake with its border OF daifodils
seemed like a glimpse o. fair, land.
A quaint canary perched upon the
water-glasses announced to each
guest her place at the banquet table,
while no B. l. L. could miss his place
guided by the light of a friendly
lamp-post.
Ia spite of the foreign names on
the menu cards the courses were dis
posed of with relish. Between cours-
es delightful musical selections were
rendered by Messrs. Nelson, Brain
ard, Turner and Ayey. General L. V.
Patch as toast-master presided in
his usual admirable manner.
Who but our own Mr. Nelson could
have introduced such unique selec-
tions as were rendered by The
Married B. /. Ls'. Quartette." and
merriment ran high when the little
dog was found. The musical COM
position rendered by Senor Paulo
Brainario showed unusual ability
on his part.
During the evening the mean ng of
B. /. L. was most cleverly interpret
ed hy DR.. Avey. and the ladies' man
ifestsa not little co. formation when
some o, their secrets were revealed
by naughty little Scott Prsinard.
Naturally the P. E. o. sisters knew
somewhat of the ability of Their
brothers tho B. /. LIS, but this ean-
quet has proven once for al that
the B. l. LIS. are loyal to their SIS
ters.

LEwEs AND Irs RAIERoAD SERVICE.

time IN It's history the Pennsylvania gave the people
Of Lewes something that they wanted when the morn
ing train was made 10 leave hour later and an
extra train put on in the morning. It seemed little
100 good to be true when the changes were first made
and now we find that they going to be perma-

THE GOVERNOR KNOWS
ABOTT OYSTERS

From the Snow Hill Messenger.
Some of our Baltimore contem-
poraries have been lavish in their ad-
vice to Governor Goldsborough as to
what he should do to the Sheppard
Oyster Law.
There is whole lot our city broth
ers do not know about oysters. Gov
ernor Goldsborough knows more
about the succulent bivalve in one
day than his advisers could fiud out
in onth. Mr.. Phil was practically
raised on a pile of oyster shells, and
he knows whether or not tire indus
try of catching oysters is going to
the demniti0n-bow-wows if he signs
the Sheppard law. He knows that the
world Will move on just the same.
and the Chesapeake oyster will still
continue to make glad the stomachs
Of the epicures.
When Phil. and Emerson get down
on the oyster culture job there are
two workmen who understand their
business, all right.
On the other hand, some of the
people who have shot off their
mouths on the oyster question.
know an oyster when they see it in
soup, but otherwise are as ignorant
as the city girl who offered to go
out and gather some butter off the
COW.

PARTISAN TRICKERY BLOCKS BUSINESS.

- EMOCRATIC members of the Levy Court in Sussex
II county playing small politics that cannot fail
10 react upon their party BY casting blank ballots
they are preventing the election of county constables
and tax collectors and thereby preventing the court
from dischargng an exceedingly important public
duty.
The situation is interesting it is unwarranted.
The Levy Court is composed Of ten members. The
Clerk Of the Peace Of the county is It's clerk The law
provides that in event Of tie vote Of the members
the Clerk Of the Peace shall cast the deciding In
other words that he shall have the power to break
deadocks which interfere with the discharge by the
Levy Court of its legitimate legislative and admins
tratve functions.
In the present Levy Court there FIVE DEM
ocratic and five Republican commissioners. The
Clerk of the Peace is Republican. Under ord-
nary circumstances, with the five, Republican com
mssioners and the Republican Clerk Of the Peace
working in official harmony, the Republicans would ex-
perence no difficulty in transactng the countys bus
ness, regardless of the attitude of the five Democratic
commissioners. Unfortunately for the public however
their readiness and willingness to elect oonstabes and
tax collectors has been frustrated by Democratic trick
The Democrats vote blank ballots with the result that
there is tie vote and that the Republican Clerk OF
the Peace cannot exercise his voting function.
Certainly the law contemplated that the worl,
Of the Levy Court should be blocked by such partisan
tactics and it is to be hoped that the legal advisers of
those members who wish TO transact the pubcs bust
will be able to evolve valid course Of procedure
hat viii nulIify the erect OF such trlckery.

URGE UNIFORMITY.

From the Wilmington Labor Herald.
Acting on authority given It by the
last convention. A. r. of l.. officials
are considering the question OF State
uniformity OF public school text
books and the preparations of a sug-
gestive model law on this subject,
and the State ownership of school
books copyrights It is intended to
give wide circulations to the conclu-
sions reached in an effort to secure
uniformity OF school books IN our
public schools and put an end To the
wasteful expenditure Of the peoples
money through the power given dis
trict boards and county commiss Ons
to establish their own individual
standards with no regard for nearby
sections or neighboring cOmmun ties
The State ownership of copyrights
would end a practice which the eent-
tie convention referred to as fol-
lows: "The prices charged for the
textbooks now in use in many Of our
public schools can only be designat-
ed as a legalzed form OF robbery"
While considering these questions,
the convention took a strong position
against the low wages paid public
school teachers, who are many times
overburdened with large numbers Of
little children placed under their con-
troll. The convention further insisted
that a sufficient number of school
teachers be employed to give a rea-
sonable degree of personal attention
to each of our children entrusted to
their care. and thereby enable teach
ers to qualify as a real teaching
force and as conservators of the
