Jeremiah Kelly, HUGHESVILLE. "ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF LIBERTY." LAPORTE, PENNA., THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1900. Democrats and Republicans! In fact it matters not with what political party you are affiliated, you should be a Protectionist in one re spect. That is to say you should protect yourselves against loss by the destruction of your pronerty by fire; and what is still more essential, protect your families against the loss of their support by the death of the person who produces that support the husband the father. This latter protection can be obtained practical ly without expense, since it is pos sible, and in fact compulsory, for the life insurance company to safely in vest the funds paid into their hands, and, after a term of years, return same with profits to policy holders, if living, on demand. This matter should command your seri ous attention. Delay is dangerous and expensive. You will therefore! do well to consult the agent in regard lo the merits of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company of Phila delphia, which is justly reputed to be the most conservative and the ! most economical as well as the most j liberal and equitable in its dealings! with policy holders. It is no experiment or adventure but by all odds the safest and best investment you can make, besides furnishing protection to your family. The Penn Mutual is already over years old and has over Jou,o<)o,ooii of insurance in force, several hun dred thousand dollars of which is in Sullivan county.

Sousa's Band, a Parisian String Or chestra, a Gypsy Band, Made Mu sic—Special Chef Cooked Each Course—Waiters Tipped $lO Each. Paris, May 21. —Harry Thimball Thaw, a young American millionaire from Pittsburg, gave a dinner to (twen ty-five persons on Saturday night that cost SB,OOO. Americans of humble means who contemplate visiting the Exposition must not believe that ail dinners serv ed iu Paris cost SB,OOO. They don't. Mr. Thaw's dinner cost SB,OOO not be cause he and his guests were raven ously hungry, but because the youth has a mania for the spectacular and likes to make folk "sit up," wherever he happense to be with his check hook. While the dinner cost SB,OOO, the major part of the money was not spent for food. Of course the food was the best that money would buy in Paris. Bach course was prepared by a dif ferent cook, and the man who pre pared the ducks got SSO for his ser vice, for that is his regular fee. He is the best duck cook in the world, anil rides in ;i carriage and employs a valet. As each course of Mr. Thaw's din ner was prepared by a chef de cuisine of similar fame and expensiveness, the food ran well up into the hun dreds. But it was not the things to eat and drink that made the spectacular Mr. Thaw's dinner cost SB,OOO. For in stance Sousa's entire band was en gaged. When it wasn't playing, there was a gypsy band and a famous Paris ian string orchestra to make music. The souvenirs, gold and diamond ♦rifles for each guest, from the best jeweler in the Rue de la l'aix, were very expensive. Each waiter —there was one for each guest—got a tip of $lO and the head waiter solaced himself with a tip of SSO. So that the bill of SB,OOO was not. so extortionate after all—for a Pittsburg millionaire who is "seeing life" and has learned to draw checks on the "pile" left by his frugal, industrious father with both hands. Mr. Thaw is very well known in New York, where he often delighted the Tenderloin with the fragrant smoke of burning money. Ox Yoke Made by Lincoln. Urbiiua, 111., May 21.—A recent ar rangement of the relics iu the Agri cultural Museum of the University of Illinois brought to light an old ox yoke made by Abraham Lincoln. For sev eral years it was in service about the Lincoln homestead. Finally it passed into the bands of a member of the Hoard of Trustees of the University, :iutl he presented it to the institution. The yoke is made of black walnut, and shows evidence of hard usage. The workmanship rough, the iron parts be ing especially erutle, indicating that they were made at a country black smith shop. Yale Secret Societies to Go. New Haven, May 21. —For the second time the Yale undergraduates have made a formal demand of the faculty that the three sophomore so cieties, Kappa. Psi, Eta Phia and He Boule, be abolished. The secret so cieties have tried to manipulate ath letics and other Yale affairs till the college has met nothing but defeat for five years. The faculty will hold a meeting Thursday to settle the fate of the societies. June Weds December. Boston, May 21. —Charles Hale Barnes, a young wedical student, of twenty-three, and Louisa Pierce, a seventy-year-old spinster, after vainly trying to get married in this State, went to New York City, where they were made man and wife. The first act of Mrs. Barnes, it is stated, was to make over to her husband all her property, worth at 'east $75,000. Bitten by Her Pet Dog. New York, May ;;1. —Never again will Mrs. Delia Hobinson of 145 West Fifty-third street try to enter a darkened room containing a dog of any sort. She ente-ed her own kitch en last night to give her pet bulldog a drink of water and the beast jumped at her and bit her arms so badly that amputation may be necessary to save ber life. WASHINGTONNOTE3. Events, Interesting or Otherwise, at the Capitol. Tho extradition treaty between the United States and Switzerland will be signed at Washington on May 23, and will be submitted to the Swiss Federal Assembly for ratification next winter. Tho United States is about to es tablish a naval station in the Hawai ian islands. A hill offered in the House authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to acquire property, ap proximately 880 acres, for a naval station in Pearl Harbor, Island of Oohu. The United States Government will shortly make to Denmark a proposi tion for the purohase of the Danish West Indies, the negotiations to be solely between Secretary Hay and the Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Naval Appropriation bill was passed in the Senate. It includes a proviso authorizing a contract for live Holland submarine boats. A constitutional amendment giving Congress power to regulate trusts, was favorably reported In the House of Representatives. A number of sim ilar amendments to the Sherman Anti- Trust law were also reported. In high Government circles in Wash ington it is said that the Boer dele gates will be received officially in a diplomatic capacity by the Govern ment, if they present satisfactory credentials. Their mission, however, is regarded as being political, rather than diplomatic, and it is the opinion of officials that they will not hamper themselves by obtaining an official status, thereby preventing themselves from agitating the cause they rep resent. President McKinley has contributed SSOO to the fund being raised for the purpose of placing busts of Grant. Sherman and Sheridan in Memorial Hall, at the United Stales Military Academy, West Point. Miss llello Henderson, daughter of Speaker Henderson, who has been very ill for the last month, is now an inmate of a sanitarium in Phila delphia. Miss Henderson has devoted a great deal of her time to music, prin cipally vocal, and her close applica tion aggravated a physical ailment from which she has been suffering for a year and a half. Miss Henderson has not participated to any great ex tent in the social festivities of Wash ington. Members of the family are confident that the treatment she will receive in Philadelphia, will effect a permanent cure. SULTAN REORGANIZING ARMY. Three Officers Sent to Germany to Purchase Guns.
