NEWS FROM TX7 A CTTTMPTflM j W ASllin tj 1 UIM 1 -''" "on ' sweeping the country skipped tlie .xatiomn uapltol tins week when tlie committee of tho lower House of Congress disposed of prohibition In the District of Columbia by tabling the bill introduced for that pfrroyi. The liquor question has been tlioioly gone over in Congress and wht e there are runny members of that body w ho believe that temperance is n good thing for their home towns uni states there were many diBsent. ing voices to the proposition to let our legislators go thirsty for the sev oral months that Gmgross is in se fdiuu here every year When it Whs apparent that the Distt let Couiutitti e was opposed to letting tbeCapilil go dry the friends of prohibition ex pected to effect a coup by proposing that the matter be left to the resi dents of Washington and that evas ion was alto voted down. Two mem bor, Representative Campbell ol Kansas and Representative Sims of Tennessee alone supported the bill to introduce ab.-tolute probibitiou in Washington. The incident of tho Governor of one of thu greatest states ill the Union continuing to draw his salary as a member of Congiess nnd accepting checks for his full amount of station ery nnd clerk hiie and makiug his r. quisition for mileage to and from session which he has not attended is perhaps without u parallel in the history pf that body. Toe gentle men with the Iron clad nerve to at tempt these tilings is Governor Lil- ley of Connecticut, who got him elf into all temperatures ot hot water last year bv his so called investiga tions involving the Eleotno Boat Company but who won vindica tion in his own state this fall by cap turing the Governorship. Mr. Lilley succeeded iu making so many enem ies for himself in Congress that when the question came np a few days ago whether he was entitled to bis Con gressiotinl pay and perquisitiea while he waa filling the office of Governor there was not a disputing voice raised to the proposition to oust him which was uromptlv and neatlv ne. The law makes It mandatory for the Governor to call a specal session to fill a vacancy in the Con gressional delegation but as there is no penalty attached Mr. Lilley will probably take bis time before filling the seat which was ao unceremon iously jerked from under him. The second White House reception f tue season took place Tuureday light when the Supreme Court Ju- lcos were the honored gnosis. These receptions are all so much alike that were a person Introduced into the Eist Room during one of them he would have no way of judging in whosv honor it was given except by observing the guests who were given precedence. There is always a Strug glo though for the invitations to the receptions in honor of the Diplomats and of the Judiciary for aa these are the first two of the season they are most largely attended and one se s at them the greatest arrav of dis. tiuguished men and gorgeously ar yed women. However the Presi dent's strained relations with Con gress may affect politics they do not seem to affeot in any way his social relations with its members and there are only a few of those with whom hj has come into direct conflict or whom he has assigned to the Anani. at Club that absent themselves from his receptions and they're never missed iu the great throng that crowds the White House on these occasions Real Estate Transfers - Emily Oliva Bacon to Helen J.

Poor Saint Valentine Tuu Ha Taken Absurd Liberties with His Ones rU,rd Nam Tb paradoxioal, not to say absurd antic of Tim were never more quaintly exemplified than in this matter of St. Valentine, says Rich ard L Galliano in tb Febrnary Delineator Never was insult mote whimsically added to injury than by tb arbitrary association of the stern and slaughtered taint who fell mar tyred beneath tb clubs oftbe Em peror Claudius, somewhere toward the end of th third onntury, with the Joyous and essentially papan fes tival which lakes bis name in vain. Recorded "a man ol exceptional chastity of character," to be asso ciated with Ophelia's beautifnl. ri bald hvaH. breaking sonn : And I maid at your window To 0s your Valentine and to be grossly libeled by Charles Lamb as , rubloond priest of Hy men, attended with thousands and tenaof thousands of little loves" ! The historical fact is that pool St. Valentin' reputation a a saint was sacrificed to tbat astute policy of the Christian Church, which, finding the old pagan festival too deeply rooted iu the popular sentiment, ohanged their name to tbat of some Christ ian aaint, and adopted them for its own. Thus VaUntioe'a Day was origin ally a feast ofFebruata Juno, and, on lb night before, boys would draw the name of girts lo order to divine who should be their sweetheart in the coming year. The Church frowned on this Innocent game and substituted th names of saints for sweethearta whereby, it may be opposed, the gam would somewhat languish. Yt, lo spite of the Cboroh, th old pagan manner if playing the gam ha gone on until this day ; and country girl will still pin five bay leave to their pillow on St. Valentine eve, hoping to dream of thslr "young man," and by diver other sorceries strive to wrest from the future the secret nat urally nearest to the human heart tb fao or nam of tb beloved For lb stern! of saint cannot pre vent Ihe world from keeping immor tally young, and th birds will goon mating on the fourteenth of Febru ary in spit of all the decree ot tiie Church. Collision at Sea Recently collision oocored at aea off Nantuoket luring a dense fog be tween two liosrs th White Star steamer Repnblio and th Llovd steamer Florida, in whioh the lives of about 1700 people were in jeopardy. Wireless messages telling of the cat- astroph wsreseut and soon seven ocean liner war beaded for tbe plao. The passengers and craw of tb Republic ware transferred to tbe Florida, and 3( hour after the Re public sunk. Tbe Florida was badly ojured and th load of living freight was retransferred to the Baltio, and all bar arrived safely in port. Two passengers only were killed and one injured and they oocul-d rooms wher tbe vessel was hit. Had it not bean for the wirelesa messages th loss of life might have been fear ful. Thia l perhaps tbe first in tsnos where its value has been so completely demonstrated.

Department, about 18 months ago, that a certain mail carrier got mail bog the night btfoie so as to tart from bis home earlier in the morning. A P. O. Inspector passed through here last week to investigate the complaint and all ofllces. No body hurt. Mrs. Abbie Bensohoten and Mis. Lizzie Graver of Newton, paid their sister-in-law Mrs Florence Montross at Lnyton a visit last week and along with other took in the Grnge Oys ter snpper and dnnoe. The 19th and 20ih were the two oblTO morninrs of tb winter .n ... far. On the former morning the mer cury stood 12 below, aud on the lat ter t below. It was proposed to establish a park of .about 1000 aores near Tuttle'e Corner, and Sandyston parties were baok of the deal. But the lumber on tbe traot proved stumbling block, and the proposed park may not ma terialize. Jersey has a law tnat the poll tax most be paid, or go to jail, and yet in looking over tbe various townthip statements published in onr county papers, I notice a good many delin. qoent. poll taxes. The dollar pnirt for votes at the last election would just square tho poll tax. Stillwater township paid nearly one hundred dollars in payment of bounty on ground hog scalps tbe past year. They must be pretty thick there. The Sandyston youth who went to Newark came back with the measles and now there are cases all over the valley. However they are of a mild type. The Grange Oyster cupper and dance at Asher Snooks, near Culver mere, was well patrouized, and judg ing by the time some ot the parties got home must have h id a very good time. I am glad fo note that William Heater is rapidly convalescing Ho has been confiued to bis room for the past three months with ty- phoid fever, and it mui-t seem good to get out again. Sandyston ig having a deal of trou ble financially. Tbe B. of E. increased the school terra from nine to ten months, and raised tbe salaries of all 7 teachers fiv dollars on a month, and the re sult is a shortage. Teachers can take their orders to the bank as they did before. See. THRICE-A-WEEK WORLD TUm erealot Nwipper of IU Type.
