BETHEL PLAIIIIG BIG HOME COMING
Sons and Daughters of Old Town Will Hold a Reunion in June.
SCATTERED OVER COUNTRY
THOSE WHO WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE BIG EVENT ARE EXPECTED TO SEND SOME COMMUNICATION.
Residents of Bethel and a number from this city are making plans for the annual home coming of the old
residents of this place, which is to be held June 8. The custom was started
more than twenty-five years ago by the older residents of Bethel, but the younger generation has since taken the matter in charge. The following notices were sent out by those in
icharge, during the week:
Notices Sent Out. For more than a quarter of a century it has been the custom of the community about Bethel, this county, to observe the second Sunday of June as an old-fashioned singing day. As time has removed nearly all the old
pioneers the day has latterly come to
be known as the "Home Coming Day,'
and has resolved itself into the nature
of a memorial service in which fath
ers, mothers, brothers, sisters and
friends live again with those who in the early history of the Bethel church
were faithful and true and are now
resting from their labors.
This year, special plans are being executed to make of the occasion an
historic event. The church building
will be suitably decorated, and on the walls will be hung the pictures of all
the early old settlers and early workers in the church. To Many States.
There are a number of people, who
once having lived in that community have moved away, until a number of states have representatives from old
Betnei. irrom these, where tney are unable to be present in person, messages will be sent and these read at the
morning service. Word is expected
from friends and relatives In Califor
nia, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Illi
nois, Kentucky and a great many from
Indiana and Ohio.
F. F. Haisley of this city and H. V. Polly of Bethel have in charge the ar
rangements for the day which fact in itself is a sufficient guarantee that this will be the most enjoyable and profitable June day ever held in
Bethel. The Rev. S. W. Traum, pas
tor of the First Christian church, will deliver the afternoon address at 2U50.
The committee cordially invites all in
terested friends and neighbors to be
present, bringing their baskets of din
ner. Inasmuch as this hour is not the
least enjoyable of the day.
Washington, D. C, April 19. The
eighteenth continental congress of the Daughters of the American , Revolu
tion convened here today, and will last
throughout the week. Since the meet
ing a year ago much work has been
done toward the completion of Con
tinental hall, so they will be better
equipped for the transaction of business. Aside from the general subjects with which the congress will have to deal, the main interest will center in the election of a president-general to succeed Mrs. Donald McLean. Election Stirs Delegates. The organization is stirred up as never before over this proposition.
The so-called administration candi
date is Mrs. Matthew T. Scott of III!
nois, the anti-administration candidate
being Mrs. William Cummings Story
of New York. The contest already
has assumed such a lively turn the
other questions for the time being
have been overshadowed by it.
The retiring president-general will
be accorded honors. A special com
mittee has hunted out a large number
of the charter members, and those
who will be here to participate in the
congress will escort Mrs. McLean to the platform. Following an address of welcome by Mrs. McLean, Vice
President Sherman will speak and will be followed by Ambassador Jusserand
of France and Judge Henry Stock-
bridge.
The musical features today includ
ed "Maryland. My Maryland," with
new words, sung by Mrs. Noble Newport Pitts, and "Old Glory," the national song of the D. A. R., by Lydia H.
Tilton. The United States marine band rendered several appropriate se
lections.
While the daughters are holding
their sessions, various auxiliary bod
ies will conduct meetings throughout
the city.
"Real Work Begins Tuesday.
It is expected that the real work
of the congress will begin Tuesday.
While the campaign for president-
general is going on there will be con
siderable politics in connection with the selection of other officers, so that
the probabilities are that one of the
most exciting sessions in the history of the congress will be held on Thurs
day, election day.
. During their week's stay here the
daughters will be the recipients of
much social attention. Mrs. Scott in a Runaway.
Mrs. Scott, the administration candidate for president-general of the Daughters of the American Revolution
figured in a carriage accident Sunday,
Mrs. Scott was enjoying a ride with
her daughter, Mrs. C. S. Bromwell
Mrs. J. M. Dickinson, wife of the sec
retary of war, and Mrs. J. AAMufphy
of Cincinnati.
A runaway team dashed up the
street and the plunging horses crash
ed into the carriage in which Mrs.
Scott sat. The second team started
to run and was gaining considerable headway when one of the horses stumbled and fell. This circumstance saved a runaway. Mrs. Scott alighted
unhurt but frightened.
Mrs. Scott and Mrs. William Cum
mings Story met for the first time last evening and Mrs. Story felicitated Mrs. Scott on her narrow escape dur
ing the afternoon.
Chinese ActreaS. ' Many visitors to the Celestial Kingdom have noted the absence of women from the stage. All the roles in a Chinese play are taken by men. This singular .custom is traced back to a woman's whim. The Emperor Tuns; Tschlng married an actress at the beginning of the eighteenth century, when women were allowed on the
stage. The emperor died, and the empress dowager ruled the country for her son. the Prince Kim Sung. To satisfy her vanity this shrewd and most peculiar woman Issued a decree in the year 1736 forbidding, under penalty of Instant death by the sword of the executioner, any member of her sex to appear on the Chinese stage. "After me, no one. said the empress dowager, and since her day no woman within the reach of Chinese law has dared to test the strength of her de-
THE GREEN MORAY.
A 8avage and Voracious Eel Found In
Barmudian Waters.
The experienced sea fisherman takes care to kill every large conger eel as soon as it is brought Into the boat. The
conger has not only extraordinary jaw
power it can triturate shellfish, shells
and all but is also so abominably ac
tive that the fisherman's opinion of it
coincides with that beid of tbe Indian by the western plainsman. o good
conger except dead conger."
Ugly and savage brute as the conger is, it is a lamb compared with its rela
tive, the green moray of Bermudlan
waters. This great eel is of an unnaturally brilliant green and has an eye which is tbe very epitome of in
tense and malignant ferocity. It
voracious and savage beyond words. The negro boatmen have such a holy
horror of It that they absolutely re
fuse to allow a moray into tbe boat.
An acquaintance of tbe writer, a ma
rine officer, fishing In a small boat off Bermuda, hooked one of these fish, but
as soon as his boatman saw the hid
eons head above the water he whipped
out his knife and made to cut the line
The officer shouted to him to stop, but
had to threaten to throw the n
overboard before he would put up his
knife. When tbe great eel was pulled
over the side the negro went absolute
ly ashy with fright. As for the moray,
no sooner was it in the boat than
doubled upon Itself, and Its Jaws met with a clash in its own side, cutting out a chunk of white flesh as neatly as a scoop would cut cheese. That was enough for the officer. He picked up a boathook and forked the uncanny
creature overboard Chambers Jour

Nine Protestants Not Subject
To Court Martial, Says Melville.
FLAYS ROOSEVELT'S ACTS
RETIRED OFFICER SAYS THEY
WERE THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY EVER KNOWN IN THE WORLD'S NAVAL -HISTORY.
Philadelphia, Pa., April 19. Admiral
George W. Melville, who is on the retired list, but keeps up an active inter-
est in naval affairs, declares that the
nine officers who signed a pamphlet to
protest to the navy department are
guiltless of any infraction of naval reg
ulations and therefore not subject to
court martial.
"Any body of officers," he said, "has
the right to formulate an appeal and
present it to the secretary of the navy,
Of course, such an appeal or protest
must not take the form of a conspiracy or mutiny. There are no evidences
of either in this case.
Score? Roosevelt and Aid. "If this pamphlet was forwarded to
Washington through a commandant who was a senior officer, and the commandant forwarded the pamphlet to
Washington, the fact would remove all
idea that the protest was in the form of a conspiracy, r
"I have no knowledge of what the whole contents of the pamphlet are, but I do know that tbe actions of the retiring secretary of the navy, probably indorsed by the former president of the United States, were the most extraordinary actions that ever were known not only in the navy of the United States, but in the navies of the world. "These actions have brought forth the most severe comment from men who have made a careful study of the navies of the world and they express consternation at the acts of the closing days of the last national administration." Protests Against Bureau System.
The officers are charged with vio
lating the rules of the service design
ed to stifle public criticism of acts of
the department heads by the men best
fitted to criticise. A pamphlet was received by Secret
ry of the Navy Meyer last week which
came as a message from a secret meet
ing held by officers on March 23. !n
this message the officers criticised the partment and said that all heads of the
present 'bureau system in tbe navy de-
construction department should be
subject to a common superior, an officer of the line. The pamphlet was
.suppressed.
Tenants In Persia.
In Persia the tenant Is absolutely at the mercy of his. landlord, who can
even seise upon the persons of him
self and bis family and. reduce them to aisort of slavery till arrears of rent and Interest are worked off. and this is true of most countries under despotic rule. Tenants are generally tenants at will and can be dispossessed on most frivolous pretexts.
