THE GASTONIA ' Published Twice a Week-Tuesdaya y. r. MA1SHALL, tutor tai rnwrimimr._ __DEVOTED TO THE P10TECTI0N OF HOME AND THE UVTtl VOL. XXIV. _GASTONIA, N. C., FRIDAY, FEBRUAI SOCIETY AS IT MAT BE. Th* Susa Being Excerpts Fran Csnrt Jsarnal IMA. Brooklyn Bask. The Chronic Kicker cook from his library a scrapbook containing observations on society for. the year 1940, and read some of them to an Eagle man the other nipht. Most of them were clippings from the New York Court Journal of the year just named. A few of these extracts are appended: Mr. Algy Pitz-Allan ac complished last Thursday his feat of eating five mutton chops on fiye consecutive nights ut Del's, in the presence of an ap plauding and admiring audience representing the leading families. This taak was undertaken in consequence of a bet of a hun dred thousand with Mr. Ferdy Vundergoff, who wagered that he would break away |at the fourth chop and call for steak, to which he is very partial. The victory showed a splendid reserve power and self-command in our superior class. The solemnity of the final inning waa some what marred by a lean, nn groomed person who, by some means, hsd found bis way into the assemblage and who offered to eat five chop* on the same night for nothing. He was given into the bands of the police. Mr. Looply de Loop rode fonr miles in the park yesterday, entirely unassisted by his valet. Mrs. Biskwee de Merlins is ill again with nervous prostration, resulting from fatigue involved in pouring tea at the 5 o’clock of the Misses Horgan last Wednesday. Mr. Ixxy Rosenblam, while playfully looking over a stranger's shoulder and reading a letter in the stranger's hands at the Ardsley station last even ing, was addressed by the un known in snch reprehensible terms that he has been put to bed, and his physician thinks he wilt be unable to leave it for a week. The manner of the com mon people is betoming intoler able, Mr. Rosenblum says, and we agree with him. It is rumored tost the atfair oi Miss Elfie Obrion, of tbe Polly Theatre, with the elder son of a certain well-known family on Riverside Drive, will result in s divorce next week. This is tbe fourteenth separation caused by tbe divine Elbe. The case of the people versus James Jones, for calling the Smart Set the Silly Set, the technical charge being blas phemy, will be tried next week before Judge Van Bluff. Mem bers of society have entire con fidence in Judge Van Bluff, as he is a member of one of our leading families and*is worth at least &,000,000. Rumors are floating about tbe innerl circle that affect two of its best known members. It will be remembered that the marriage last June of Mr. Chum-' pleigh PeeteTs, at tbe age of 22, to Hn. Med ora aewruow, aged 68, caused much favorable com ment, aa it united two of our most . distinguished families. Mr. Fcetera is a third ton, and his prospects were, therefore, different from those of bis oldest brother, and Mn. Kewrasow, a fourth wife, bad saved some-' thing from each marriage, her . income being not far from $15, 000,000 a year. According to the rumor, Mr. Freddy Mozen meyer, at the club, twitted Mr. Feeters with being in love with hia wif*,|incen»ing Mr.fFettera so that he struck his tormentor on the artist, real herd, and can celled an invitation he bad jnst given him to ride in his automo bile. Mr. Mozenmeyer was led to his apartment in tears and the incident has filled the club with the wildest excitement for nearly a week. There was an undoubted use of political methods to force the •lection of Abraham Goldstein * to the Tnrveydrop Club, but they failed. Mr. Goldstein seemed to think that because he owned eighty-six theatres he was eligible to any club in the city, bnt the membership com mittee learned that bis Income did not exceed $9,500,00 per annum, and he thus falls half a million behind the necessary Igors. At a meeting of the horse show directors last week it was resolved to conthme the name of hone show. Although it Is now eighteen yews since any horses were exhibited, the traditions aeem to require that the proposed change of name to the society show should . be deferred, U no* definitely „J. One director wna as to offer a resolution to i the exhibition si r, bnt m was crashed by North Carolina Mutual Aid and Home Protective Association. Organized in Gastonia and Chartered by the Present Legislature, is Now Receiving Applications for Life Insurance. .... Only 1200 persons can get Into a Division. The Gaston Division Is expected to be full within a few weeks. All applicants must stand an APPROVED MEDICAL EXAMINATION. We Insure men and women under 55 years of age. Those who wish life Insurance AT COST should apply at once, while there Is room. GEO* A* GRAY, President* This Feb. 13,1903. Wm. H. LEWIS, General Manager* an otherwise unanimous vote. In a speech remarkable for clear ness and logic Mr. C hat field - Chats worth landed the Inner Circle for its self-sacrifice in ex hibiting itself to the public at large for four days every No vember and giving valuable les sons to the common people in dress and manner. The committee appointed (or the purpose by residents of this city to draft the bill for the creation of a nobility will urge the claims of society in Congress at the next session. While no scale of rates has been printed it is privately understood that the people who own over $100,000,000 will be eligible to a dukedom, $75,000,000 will qualify for a marqaisate, $50,000,000 for an earldom and barons, baronets and knights may be worth $5, 000.000 Teas in each succeeding grade. it is an open secret that Mrs. Peebles-F! am worth is having very hard luck in securing lions for her dinners this season. Lord Ackerson-Chesterfield was, d—k and missed his last date. Lieut. Smith, the diacoyerer of the North Pole, sailed for the Arctics immediately on receiving bis invitation, and is reported to have used profane language with reference to society—a circum stance that will keep him ont of New York, that is Inner New York, henceforth. At Mrs. Peebles-Flam worth's last dinner the only outsiders were an author person or two, a professor of some science from a university, an inventor person, an army person, and an artist person. The conversation of these peo ple was quite unintelligible to the hostess end her regular guests who passed a very dull evening. Society is getting over its rage for novelties. Elderly people remember when it was s custom of the daily pa pers to print portraits of singers ■nd conductors at the beginning of an opera season. It is incon ceivable that , such pictnres should have interested society, and the custom has, of course, been long abandoned. But the plan of substituting portraits of the leading box-holders has its disadvantage, ss we learn from time to time. It is known, for Instance that a coolness has arisen between the Aildeibrick and the Goldfogle families be cause in the Journal of last Sun day Mrs. BUderbrick'a portrait occupied the centre of the gronp white Mrs. Qoldfogle's was placed at the side. we regret Having been led into error as to the date of the Von der °«Jrt dinner.

The present incumbent accepts too many social engage ments for his good or the rood af the family that employs him. ■ ' ■—i i ■■■. i ■ At (ha Maladratna. CklMoHm.

He*M Strikes Recert el Sabbath Action Pram Jsuraal—Speak er Baled the! Submission el Repert Wee Legal. Bat • Me* ferity el Member* Veted Agafaat Dim. WsrtlaatM Ton. The House yesterday went on record in opposition to the trans action of legislative business on the Sabbath. By s vote of 116 to 101, record of the feet that the report of the conferees on the Department of Commerce and Labor bill was submitted to the House Sunday was stricken from the Journal. Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, the minority lead er raised a question os to the le gality of the proceednre, the House having been in session for the express purpose of pro nouncing eulogy upon deceased statesmen, and though Speaker Henderson ruled that the House had a legal ri^ht to receive the re port, a majority of the members thought otherwise. The Speaker, who has recov ered from his recent illness, pre sided over the Honse yesterday for the first time in several days. After the reading of the Journal Mr. Richardson took exception to the presentation of the con ference report of Sunday’s mem orial service. He contended that the action of Sunday was void. The Speaker, in ruling that it was regular, said that it bad been repeatedly held that Sun day conld be made a legislative day. There had, as a fact, been no legislation at Sunday's ses sion. By unanimous consent the House simply permitted the filing of the conference report under the rule. The House, when in session at any time, he stated, was omnipotent, except for the limitations of the Consti tution. Mr. Richardson protested against the ruling as a dangerous precedent and moved to correct the Journal so as to strike ont the action of Sunday. BJeven Republicans voted with the De mocrats for bis motion, hot it was defeated on a rising vote, 80 to88. Mr. Richardson demanded the yeas and navi, and the roll was called. The motion was carried, 116 to 101. Twenty eight Republicans voted with the Democrats. Mr. Hepburn insisted that al though the House had just stricken from/ the Journal the record of the action of Sunday, the fact nevertheless remained that the conference report has been presented. "Wbat proof has the gentle man/” inquires tne speaker. "The House has just stricken all reference to the action from the Journal." The result of this action was to postpone the consideration of the conference report on the J>epsrtment of Commerce bill until to-day. Mr. Hepburn later in the day pre atntcd the conference report, and it waa ordered printed in the Record. Remedy Per Pseemals. Chaster Laaters Mr. S. A.

NINE HEALS A BAT. Hew Tubarculasis Patients Are Treated la The New Yarik City laHrmery. N»w Tort Imm Wnli The first annual report on the work of the city’s Tuberculosis Iufirmary is important sa showing the great reliance now placed on food to care consumption. Once drugs were all the treat ment of this most dreadful of diseases, and the mortality pro gressed with increased strides. Then pure air was the essential thing, and patients who could afford it went to California, to the dry alkali atmosphere of Ari sons, to the icy monutain valleys of Switzerland. Now the en lightened practitioner keeps the patient comfortably at home, amid the home stUTonndings, makes the most he cen of the To cal air, even though it may lack qualities desirable for the beat results, and feeds the patient to the top of his assimilative capac ity—stuffs him on Strasburg goose principle, and welcomes a congested liver as the gain of strength and vitality and flesh. It is tbc course of wisdom. Jt is also, incidentally, au interest ing incident in the modern med ical progress, which eflecta more iu the way of cures without drugs than the physicians of our grand fathers e nee ted with them. At the Tuberculosis Infirmary patients are required to take nourishment nine times a day as follows: At 6, a breakfast of cereals, bread and butter, coffee, and beefsteak, or poached eggs. At 8, cod liver oil with whis ker or sherry. At 10, egg nog. At 12, dinner, consisting of soup, beef or mutton, potatoes. anoiner vegetable an<l Dread. At 2. cod liver oil tod plenty of aheny. At 3, beef tea. At 4, egg nog. At S. rapper of podding, a soft boiled egg. bread and butler, tea. At 8, hot or cold bath. Then to bed for nine lioura sleep. And at all tfmet during the day cheerfulness and hope— a mental atmoaphere more than compensating for any lack of tonic qualities in the air. . Is not tbit common sense, en lightened therapeutics? Not a dragon the entire dietary. And the process in the healing of the patient Is this: First a slow decrease in the loss of weight, tbeo s standstill. Then s slight gain, an ounce or two. Then a pound, then additions of flesh that are visible, the plumped out cheeks, the alerter mind, the more active movement. Also there la an excellent pointer in this dietary for the per son who is growing week and ail ing. Notice how much reliance it put on egg* and milk I lu moments of exhaustion why not take a raw egg with sherry or an egg nog or an unsweetened milk punch? It may check e tandem any apprehended deterioration of the moral character. ■alKaian AmmHmb. Spartecna— Haa Cunieo that tame old itching after office?

What is tbc meaning of tbe call of.representatives of "nearly all the Central American republics" on Secretary Hay to invoke Iris good offices to pre vent a general uprising against tbe governments of (heir coun tries? Does it it not imply a fear that those governments are not strong enough to stand alone? When we consider the almost constant state of civil war in Colombia and Vena dels, what a prospect of chaos among the Central American republics if tbe revolutionary movement spreads from Honduras. Tbe administration ia alive to tbe danger and is prepariag to deal with it. The entire Pacific coast fleet is under orders to go to Am pala, the port on the small bit of Pacific coast possessed by Honda* ras. On one side of Fonseca Bay, in wbicb tbe fleet will ren dezvous, ia Salvador and on tbe other is Nicaragua. It la more than probable that both these os well as Gantemala. will be drawn into tbe quarrel at Honduras. In that event other nations than tbc United States will send their ships to the Carl beau and Pacific coasts of these Central American States, and to the Venezuelan problem will be added another, which may prove even more vexations and acute. Secretary Hay could only tell his visitors that this government would not interfere in the in ternal affairs of their countries— a policy which there la reason to tear is not followed by at least one European government ia Venezuela. The relation of the United States to the Spanish American re publics of Central American imposes responsibili ties which we have oo power to discharge. This government ia like a policeman who is expected to keep th« peace and protect life and property on an adjoining best without permission to leave ma own. Uncle Sun has to try moral suasion as far as it wilt go ■“ »■ the end he can only resort to sinister bints and awfml threau.

One defendant had a pint and his fine and coat was $48 besides lawyers' fees. The other defendant had a apart and bis fine and cost was $73 besides the lawyers' fees. Besides this, the county would have to pay about $75 for these same three pints of liauor.
