A Royal feast.
On Friday evening last several of
the friends of Mr. nnd Mrs. John
Youngs mot togothor at thoir home
by 'nvitation to enjoy their hospi
tality. If. you only knew how
thoroughly John goes into a thing
when he is interested, 1 might lay
my pen down right here and close
by saying that we were royally en
tertained. Still you would fall
short in your conception of how
John does such things unloss pos
sessed of on active imagination, and
a familiarity with true hospitality
as practically illustrated at Mr.
Young's bom on Friday night last.
It is hard to particularize where
everything was all that heart could
desiie. The table was elegant, nnd
we did not fail to notice ' that the
guests were very careful to select
chairs that they would not need as
sistance to got out of nt the close of
the feat. It proved a wise precau
tion too, and all had good reason to
coi. atnlate themselves on their
fore lought before they rose from
the U. le. After the fast keen edge
of nppetito was dulled a little by tho
substantial,, 'he tide of wit nnd
humor kept e a flow with the al
ternation of courses that fol'-'ed
each other in regular success! r
hours until all cried for quarter.and
declared that if kindness could kill,
then we should surely be in the un
'Jortakers care before another sun
rise. A novel feature, and new was
that all the candies were the handi
work of Miss Blunche, und never did
"Iluyler" turn out anything more
dainty. A delicious ice cream des
sert rounded out fittingly the ter
mination of an elegant "menu,"
and no other commendation is
needed for that, other than to say
that John Youngs made it himself.
Only those who have eaten his
cream can realize that the pen is too
soulless a thing to describe jt fitly
Along in the small hours of the
morning Mr. Young's family, and
some of the guests gathered at the
organ, and we listened to a musical
treat such as one does not often hear
About 3 o'clouk the guests wished
Mr. Youngs nnd his delightful
family many repetitions of this
happy meeting, and, departed to
their homes and pleasant dreams,
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Lyman J. Gase for Secretary of
the Treasury.
Arbitration Treaty Amptidp.1 AJger lor
War Secretary West Pointers May At
tend ths inauguration Queen
Ill's ideas The Monetary
Conference Notes, Ktc.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washinotox, Feb. 1st, 1897. The
Senate Committee on Foreign Rela
tions having amended the arbitra
tion treaty to meet the objections to
it, by the insertion of a sentence ex
ecuting from arbitration, except by
special agreement, nil questions af
fecting the foreign or domestic
policy of either of the contracting
parties or the relations of either
with any other nation, and by
striking out that portion which gnve
King Oscar, of Sweden, authority to
name tho umpire, has- reported the
treaty to the Senate with a recom
mendation that it be ratified, nnd
there is now little doubt of its
speedy ratification. Another treaty
has just been signed with Great
Britain nnd sent to the Senate. It
provides for a determination of n
portion of the Alaska Boundary
line.
Had President -elect McKinley
tried ever so hard, lie could not
have pleased the old-soldier element
of the party more than he htm done
by the selection of General Russell
A. Alger, of Michigan, to be his
Secretary of War. Gen. Alger is
nlso popular with thepnrty nt lnrge,
nnd the Michigan delegation in Con
gress is especially well pleased with
tho honor bestowed upon him.
Although the Senate voted down
an npproprintion to pay tho expenses
of the West Point Cadets in coming
to the inauguration, it is prolmble
that they will come after all, unlesp
Secretary Lamont shall decido
otherwise. The public spirited
mnnHgers of a Wnshington hotel
have offered to board the cadets free
during their stay in Wnshington,
and any other expenses that may be
necessary will be met by the inau
gural parade, and nothing will bo
left undone to got them
Ex-Queen Lil, of Hawaii, who is
now in Washington, is very discreet
in hor utterances as to her object in
visiting the United States at this
time, but one of her hangers on has
lot the cat out of the bng, by stating
that she thought President Cleve
land ought, before retiring from
oftlco.to replace her upon the throne.
She hns been badly advised if sho
thinks nny such thing ns thnt can
be accomplished. Although Mr.
Cleveland was at one time very
anxious to restore the deposed
Queen to authority, there is reason
to uenove tnai ne nas long since
realized the mistake he mmlo in his
policy toward Hawaii, and that ho
would not now carry it out if he
could. And everybody, including
the ex-Queen ought to know that
he could not if he wanted to.
' Several antirepublican Senators
made quite a bluff at opiosing the
bill nuthorizing President McKinley
to appoint delegates to represent
this country at any international
monetary conference thnt may be
cnlled by any other country or thnt
ho in his judgment may deem ad
visable to call, but when it came up
to the scratch only four votes were
cast against the t-ill in the Senate.
No trouble is expected in getting tho
bill through the House. A notable
feature of the short debate which
preceded the passnge of the bill by
the Senate was the speech inn do by
Senator Hoar, who, when nbroad
last year made it a- jxiint to secure
information on the growth of bime
tallism in Eurojxs. He expressed
the positive opinion that interna
tional bimetallism wis bound to
come in time. As to the length of
time, he said : ,4If not in three
months, then in three years. It will
be stronger twelve months hence
than it is to-day, and it is strongtr
to-day than it whs twelve months
ago." Mr. Hoar qnoted original
letters in his possession to
snow
why he believed that four great
nations, the United States, England,
Franco and Germany, wero steauily
advuueing towards bimetal lisin.
While there are few Republicans
in Congress who would have named
Mr. Lyman J. Gage, had they lxen
asked to select President McKinley 's
Secretary of the Treasury, all of
them agree in commending the
choice now that it has boeu mado by
Major McKinley. Many Republi
can Senators and Representatives
are personally acquainted with Mr.
Gngo, and those who linvo not thnt
honor nre familiar through others
with his splendid business career in
Chicago, where ho hns resided for
more than forty years. From n
business standpoint thero is not a
flaw in the record of Mr. Gage: from
a political standpoint, there is one
flaw: He voted for Cleveland when
he was elected President the first
time. The best proof that Mr. Gage
regretted his action in thnt enso is
found in the fact that he did not
vote for Cleveland tho second and
third time thnt he wits a candidate
andtliHthe wns especially active in
the support of McKinley nnd Ilol
bnrt nnd honest money, during tho
late campaign. His administration
of the Treasury deimrtnient is likely
to be very strong in business, and
somewhat indifferent in partisan
polities. Under existing circum
stances, this may bo the best possi
ble sort of nn ndministrntion of that
important branch of tho Govern
ment, not only for the country but
lor the Republican pnrty.
BRIEF MENTION.
Tho spruce gum output of
Maine for 1890 was larger than ever.
Cottngo prnyer meeting this
(Friday) evening will bo held nt the
homo of Mrs. John Findlay.
The Willing Workers will meet
to-morrow Saturday with Miss Alice
Baker from 2 to 5 p. m.
The will of tho Into Henry
Asher hits been piobated by the Reg
ister of this County. It devises per
sonal property only.
The coon and his fellow weather
prognosticating did not see thoir
shadows Feb. 2, so wo must believe
in nn early spring until that notion
freezes out of us.
The condition of Commissioner
Holler remains practically un
changed." Ho is very weak, nnd
soro, nnd it will probably be some
time liefore he regains health.
The New York custom house
has reduced its force sons to effoct a
saving of $50,000 per year ill salaries.
Among those whoso services were
dispensed with, some twenty in all
is Edgar P. Crissmau formerly of
Milford.
The tramp who was found in the
barn on the Howell place and subse
quently removed to Dory Bosler's,
is in a precarious condition. Both
his foot were frozen nnd the gan
grene is gradually creeping up his
liinbs.
Solomnn Dnvis, at one time a
resident of this county, was proba
bly fatally injured last Tuesday by
being run over by nn engine in' the
yard at Port Jervis. -His Teft arm
was amputated at the shoulder and
it is thought his nge 73 precludes re
covery. The Lidies' Aid Society of the
Presbyterian Church met Tuesday
nt the home of Mrs. E. Warner and
arranged for a chicken supper to be
held at the Sawkill House, Washing
ton's Birthduy Feb. 22nd. Supper,
which means sufficient to satisfy the
most voracious appetite, only 25
cents.
How Our Counties Were Named.
The Wantage Recorder nsks from
whence Pike county derives her
mime. She wns nnmed for General
Zcbulon Montgomery Pike, born
1779 died 1813. As nn incentive to
those curious to know the derivation
of the nnun of the several counties
in this state, twenty eight were
named for men, thirteen for coun
ties and shires in England, fifte n street, Port Jervis, who are attend
are named for creeks and rivers, one j ing the schools thero. He has been
for a Into, one for a mountain, one assisting Rev. Albert Buck in re
fer coal, one for wood, one after the vivnl services pastor of the Evnn
Greek, one is Welsh, one Swiss, one j gelical societies at Port Jervis and
French, one Hebrew, one from its
geographical location and ono for tin
animal.
The Pure Food liw,
Judge Hemphill of the Chester
C-iunty Court has handed down a de- i
cision iu which he holds this law to
p4 unconstitutional. A large num
ber of merchants of Westchester
were indicted for violation' of its
provisions, and this opinion is im
portant as affecting not only them
but others in different purts of tho
State.
