Nn previous banquet oC this society o:r cclled It In any of the features Unit tend to the success of an iiffnlr of this kind, and In many of Its features none of the previous banquets could com pare. In the matter of attendance, it was the Inrgest e.ver held, and the number of new members to sit for the first time with tho society was in excess of any previous year. Comparisons of toast responses is not gracious. Suffice it to mention the speakers. Upsides our own forceful and eloquent Colonel Henry M. P.oi"s. who delivered the president's address, there was: Hon. Charles 10. Littlefiold. the emi nent political orator, statesman and tcliolar. who succeeded Nelson Dlngley in congress and lias already achieved a leputation for statecraft that gives promise he will, with Dlngley's years, be. at least, not less famed among the nation's bis men. Tlcv. Joseph 11. Twin-hell. 1). P., of llartfoid, Conn., who is regarded as one of the greatest of the living pro ducts of Yale ami who from among all her nine thousand alumni, was se lected to deliver the bl-centeimial ser mon. Hon. "William l Hensel, of Lancas ter, who was attorney general of Penn sylvania during Governor Paulson's second term and who is regarded verv generally as the biggest man Ponusyl ania Democracy boasts. Hon. H. A. Fuller, of AVilkes-P.arre, lawyer, orator and wit, whose fame as an after-dinner speaker became o widespread that he had to deny himself to all who sought his company at ban quets, so heavy became the demands. Last night was the lirst time in years he lias been heard at a formal dinner. A prime feature of tho recurring New Kngland banquets is tho souvenir. Hsually it is some tasty embellishment of the programme, geneinlly an attls tie allegory and print suggestive of Forefathers' Day, the occasion of the celebration. This year, the fifteenth ,ir Crystal anniversary of the society's formation, the committee lilt upon the happy conceit of a cut glass goblet of special design anil appropriately decor ated. The goblet Is of the bent Hohe mlan sinus, nnd the product of the famous Dorfllnger works at llonesdiilo. The gilt decorations were by rlie Honesdale Decorating company, tli" only institution of lis kind In this country. The design, it is slated, will never be duplicated, ami the goblets, in consequence, are worthy of being high ly prized as mementos. K Setting Exquisite. The setting of tho banquet was In ex quisite taste. The luxurlousl.v appoint ed board of tt.ide assembly mom never looked prettier. Kverything in the rich store of table decorations the Struntnu club uffouls was Impressed Into scrvicu In making the banquet board beautiful, and In augmentation of this was the most unstinting handiwork of the flor ist. The mural decorations, weie mostly of trailing smllax festooned gracefully at tlio frieze and ropes' of evergreen wound about tile pillars, To the rear of tho president's chair was draped two largo American tlagf, and resting against the wall was a Hag on a staff, with which tho salute was given. The tables were arranged In a hollow' quadrangle, with two shorter tables at right angles with tin end tables, and extending within the enclosure to with in a few feet of a richly decorated cen ter table. The head of the liniuil was the side, of the long lablo farthest fmin and Just opposite the emrauie, In the center sat Colonel Henry M, Holes, president of tho society and to.tBtinaster, To his light and MX, respectively, weie seated the following olllcers, ox-nMceis, guests and their Individual hosts; lllglit-llou.

"The heroism, coui'iikc, patriotism, rellttlous zca of our I'llsjrlni forefath eis," lie went on to say, "has always been and always will be a most ab sorbiiiK and liiterestlnef topic to us, I hulr children anil to llie 7ti.tu.io Oinf peo ple Win) now enjoy the fruits of llieir planting. "As told In tluvernor llradford's his tory they went first, in MOS to "ye low countries,' where they heard there was religious freedom. When they left Eng land, it was -100 years after t lie magna charta had been signed at Runnymede. It was when there was no liberty of thought in Kngland not nttended by n slit no.te, a cropped ear or a felon's cell. They staid In Holland twelve years. Such distresses did they suf fer that some of them were willing to let urn to Knsrlaiul. Still seeking re ligious liberty they resolved to go to America. After a day of prayer and humiliation they embarked in the 'Speedwell.' The hazz.irds they under took, the perils they faced and the hardships they endured aie pathetic to contemplate. "When they tiist stalled for Holland they declared for religious freedom. Leaving Holland for America thev avowed they were content to be mere stepping stones to the culmination of their idea. The constitution written In the cabin of the Alayllower. the most important political transaction on earth, as Senator Hoar has declared, had religious freedom for its corner stone. In the compact with the Now ITtiveu and Massachusetts colonies, li tigious freedom was declared to be the main purpose of their colonization. These two instruments were the foun dations of our forefathers' law. The Pilgrims formed our prcsfiil govern ment. And yet there aie those who will say to us 'where Is the flotl in your constitution".' "In Vii'i, on the Thames, were sui'-n ve-.'-els jvjuiy to start for tin new world. An order was issued against their sjillng. Later they did still uud carried all of their original passengers except three. Two of these three were John Hampton and Oliver Cromwell, Charles would noL have Interdicted ihe sailing of those Miips if lie could liuu loiet-een that they would luiv curried with them the siuffold on which he lnit his head. It K scarcely possible lo even suggest what would not have hap pened in Kngland and what would have happened in America liml those two men not left the f-hlps. "The Pilgrims bullded belter than they knew. The experience of nio'-e than two leiituries has demonstrated beond peradveillure that a Divine wisdom inspired them. They made liberty the corner-stone of their gov ernment, but they also prescribed con stitutional limitations; they averred that a government that is not a gii,' criimeiu based on law Is a despotism. A government that is not a government of laws Is it government of men. The migration of the Pllgtlnis was a laii'l mail: in tlie piogrcss of civilization." Eulogu of Pilgrims. ISi'V. .Mr. Twlehell'.". address was al"0 a slowing eulogy of the Pilgrim fathers. One of th" lirst thoughts he developed was thai not only did the New UiiKiunder cxei t a vnsl iullueiu'e 011 America but also mi old Knglau.l, ami coinr-'iiiiontly on the whole world, lie said, III part: "The subject of the Pilgrim fore fathers is one that lorblds frlvoll'v and Iuvltvs to sober thought. What leverenei! can equal their Just merits! What praise i an encompass their heroic deeds! How nobly, and with what self-sacilllce, they stood by the dickering light of their liupei Ishable truths!

Hensel. the next speaker, as one of the greatest citizens of the state, "even though he Is a Democial," as lie added. Air. Hensel responded to the toast "The Pennsylvania Dutch," and ex plained in beginning his remarks that lie believed the returns of the last elec tion in Lackawanna and Luzerne coun ties justllled him in being proud to be able to say "1 am a Uemorrat." After telling a few stories that set the gath ering into roars of laughter, ho had something to say about Pennsylvania's needs. "What Pennsylvania needs most of till," stiid he, "is a better understand ing of her own history, a greater unity ol feeling and more state pride. And what has stood in tho way of them things? Pel haps 11 is what Is, by a strange paradox, her proudest boast, namely, the development of her mag uillceut natural resources. "I venture that there are very few in this gathering tonight who have a com prehensive knowledge of the settlement of this stnte over two hundred years ttgo by the men whom some are wont to sneer at today the Pennsylvania Dutchman. Perhaps it will surprise many of you to know that one-third of tlie original stock of this common wealth were Dutchmen. "I'ehlnd these sturdy Dutchmen, an behind tlie Pilgrim Patliets, burned the tires of religious persecution. Like tlie Pilgrims, too, they brought with tlieiu tin spirit of religious toleration, with the difference, if you will pardon mi liar saying it, tiiat, whereas the Puri tans insisted upon llieir vlght to woi ship (lod lu their own way, they also insisted upon everybody else worship ping in that same wnj,, the Pennsyl vania Dutchman so tolerated other de nominations that no !e--s than thirty six sects stros-e in one-iiuarler of .1 cen tury.
