DINING ROOM OF THE WESTCOTT A BOWER OF BEAUTY.

MENU OF HIGH ORDER

One Hundred and Twenty-Three Plates Speeches, Flowers and Music.

The T. P. A. banquet at the Westcott, Saturday night was one of the must successful affairs ever conducted in Richmond. It Was sucessful because it was in the hands of members of the Travelers' Protective Association. The affair was gotten up in honor of one of their members who had been elevated to the highest position

in the order National President and no man in the association deserved that honor more than Horace C. Starr.

One hundred and twenty-mree coders were laid in the dining room of the "Westcott, the handsome, well frowned ladies, and their gallant escorts, made a picture in itself. Besides, the floral decorations, arranged under the supervision of Mr. M. G. Hill, were most beautiful, and added a charm to the scene. Mr. E. G. Hill aeted as toashnaster, and well did he fill this place of honor. To add dignity to the occasion, the National President, Mr. Donavan, of Cincinnati, was present. Toasts were responded to by the fol

lowing parties: Mayor W. W. Zim-

, merman, J. F. Gordon, M. J. O 'linen,

the gueit of honor, Horace Starr. The speeches were all in a complimen

tary vein and each speaker paid a tribute to Mr. Starr's ability to fill the high office to which he was elected. Mr. Starr's response was charaetersitic of him and his witty remarks were greatly enjoyed. It was a late hour when the program was completed. Music was rendered by Runge's orchestra and it was highly compli

mented. v4:i

BEING SOUGHT AFTER BY MR. H. DOWNS CRANOR

OF CONSHOHOSTON. PA

Would Like a Complete Record of the Family and Hopes For Assistance Here.

' Mr. II. Downs Cranor of Conshohocton, Pa., was in the city Saturday

for the express purpose of looking

up the history of the Cranor family

ni this county. Mr. Cranor is go

ing over this work out of pure pleas

ure and the satisfaction of having as complete a history of the Cranor family as can be gotten. He would like

for some one to tell him why all these people emigrated from North Carolina to Indiana and farther west. He

thinks there must have been a cause for it, and if there was he would like to know it. There were three Cranors came to this country and settled in. different parts of it and wheth er these three, gentlement were brothers or what akin if any he does not know. The names of the men were Charles Cranor, Joshua Cranor and Emanuel Cranor. In looking up family history Mr. H. Downs Cranor finds a similarity of names in the different families, and it would look as if all

were related.

If any one in this city or county

is posted on these matters, the Palla-

diumtwould be glad to publish what theynowf rom time to time. There are "a' great many "Cranors in and around Wayne county, and they have a lai-sre connection.

RAIN CAUSED A SMALL ATTENDANCE AT JACKSON PARK.

THE PERFORMANCE FINE

McGibneys and Band Up to Usual High Standard Improvements at the Park.

Itwa s only a fair sized crowd that braved the rainy weather yesterday to go the Jackson Park to hear the McGibneys of Indianapolis, former residents of this city. The steady rain of the morning drove away all thoughts of attending the concert from the heads of most people, but those who went heard an excellent program. In the afternoon the weath

er- cleared up a trifle and this alone prevented a total lack of spectators at the park. The R. S. & I. Company had made preparations for extra cars, and fully expected them to be crowded all afternoon with at leasrt five hundred people, but the weather man said '"Nay." That the people who did not attend missed a good tiling though, was the opinion of all who heard the McGibneys play. Hugh MeGibney seemed rather out of place on an improvised platform and almost in the open air, with only a scanty group of hearers, but, however, he may have felt the laek of numbers, it did not show in his playing. The entire program was rendered in an especially fine manner. . ,His tones ;were sweet, pure , and'-'ftrlref feeling. His technique is perfect and in every way he showed the complete ' mastery of the violin that has won him a name among Western musicians as a high class performer. His

In the evening the attendance was a little, very little, better than in the afternoon. The skies cleared up perceptibly and the grounds were dryer. The band selections in the evening were played in the usual fine manner. The McGibneys played even better than in the afternoon. As to the Park. The improvements in Jackson Park are not so extensive that every one would notice them, but such as they are, they are very good. A wide veranda has been placed around the pa

vilion, which furnishes a cool place to sit and listen to the music, and this is appreciated by the park patrons. But there are no walks in the whole ground, and in damp weather this is bound to detract from the attendance. The swings have all been repainted and several minor improvements made. The street car company is to be

commended on its choice of attractions and it is to be hoped that next time the weather will be more propitous. The Haskell Indian Band, under the directorship of an Oneida, will be at the park the last of this month. This band is the government Indian one and the Eastern press has been giving it ery favorable notices.

Investigation into the taxes paid in Henry county reveals the fact that the Pennsylvania railroad is by far the heaviest taxpayer in the county. Of the entire amount of taxes collected in the County, the Pennsylvania pays 12 per cent, which amounts to more than $25,000 annually. Other railroads in

the county are far behind in total amount of money thus paid. Gordon II.
