day afternoon at Windanspray, the J. W.
Jones cottage on the Condor shore. Several
of the members went in the afternoon with
their sewing and at O'Clock supper was serv-
ed, to which the gentlemen had been invited.

corn roast one hundred ears were cooked on
the kitchen stove and served on a long table
in the living room with sandwiches, doughnuts,
cheese and coffee. After supper there were
two tables at cards, some sewed and others
sat about the open fire and toasted marshmal-
lows, The committee having charge of the

Mrs. Robert P. Coombs, Mrs. N Houston
Small and Mrs. Leroy A. Weber.
NOT A SMUGGLER. As all who know Capt.
Hayes were convinced would be the case, the
report that he had engaged in smuggling
opium and Chinese into this country proves
to be utterly groundless. A more loyal,
patriotic, law abiding American citizen than
Capt. Hayes is not to be found on sea
or shore. Letters from Capt. Hayes re-
ceived here by the family state that greatly
to his surprise. he was hove-to, boarded and
searched by revenue officers, but he had moth
ing but a cargo of log-wood and fustie and was
promptly released. Capt. Hayes has often
expressed in severe terms his aversion to the
Chinese and the opium trade and he. writes
friend: Rather than smuggle such a cargo
into the United States, even were l employed
by firm who would do SO, would give up my
command, even if it was in the South Sea
islands," Capt. Hayes has sailed for many
years for the Pendletons of Islesboro and New
York and recently made successful trip to
Lisbon, Portugal, thence to Jamaica, where he
loaded for Philadelphia.
