IpAX 89AANN1H1
The Easter party of the st. James
(Episcopal) Sunday School lame of
last night at Criterion Hall, and was q
most enjoyable affair. The supper ia
bles, furnished and presided over by
the ladies Of the church, we're bounti-
fully supplied, and g%orgeously tinted
Easter eggs figured c~onspicuoHsly. At
an early hour the little folk and their
older friends commenced to congregate,
and by nine O'Clock there we're about
eighty children in the full tide of jollisy,
and nearly AZ many children Of a
larger growth enjoying the fun and
making almost as much noise as the
small fry. A band had been engaged,
which throughout the evening dis
coursed most excellent music; and the
w~altzes, polkas and quadrilles were al
ternated with "Hunt the slipper
"Here we go round the barberry
bush," liking William was King
James son." and other games famil-
lar to us all in our adolescence. About
1920 o'clock the very little ones were
shipped home, and from that time un-
til shortly after midnight, when the
party broke up, the grown folk joined
in pleasant dances with the larger chill
dren.
1t would take too much space to
name the young misses who, by their
beauty and grace. added to the pleas
ure of the occasion, and we will draw
no insidious distinctions; but we can
not refrain from an illusion to Masters

peyre, and George Merrill, who, in
their Joyous abandon and full p%artici-
patton in the fun of the evening, added
tenfold to the delight of their compan-
ions, as we'll as OF the grown folk.
A "JUEL."-We are informed by
Jack Featherstone that an affair OF
honor came off a few days ago. at Pal
isade, between a we'll known military
gentleman of that place and a former
resident Of Eureka. The former fell
at the first fire, from a wound inflicted
about ten inches above the left ear, and
the latter was arrested by the Chief OF
the Palisade Police, as he vas attempt
ing to escape. The sanguinary duelist
was lodged in jail, but the next morn
ing was released upon the affidavit of
a restaurant keeper that the wounded
man had that morning surrounded at
breakfast four pounds of fried tripe, a
yard and a half of sausages and three
dozen of hard boiled eggs.
MINING ACCIDENT Last Monday
morning Michael Downey, while en-
gagged putting up a timber at the 15o-
foot station in the Wide West mine, at
Adams Hill, made a misstep and fell
off the staging, down the shaft, to the
200-foot level, a distance of so feet.
There were several severe cuts in the
scalp, in one place the skull being laid
bare the size Of the palm of a mans
hand. He was also somewhat injured
in one OF his sides. The wounds were
dressed by Dir. Chamblin. and yester-
day the patient was feeling quite COM
Portable, and was in a fair way for re-
covery. His escape from instant death
appears little less than miraculous.
GOOD LIvINa.-Mrs. Moch, at the
Parker House restaurant, continues to
furnish her guests with all the delica.
ciss procurable in the market. She is
entitled TO the belt as the champion
caterer of the Base Range. for there is
nothing in the way of alimentary lux
uries that can possibly Ne procured
that she does not furnish her patrons.
The only complaint we have ever
heard from her boarders is hat her
system Of diet is provocative of govt
and other natural sequences to high
living.
THE EuREKA SENTINEL notifies its
patrons that money il needed to run
the SENTINEL machine. 1t will have
to talk louder, az those living at a dis
lance are hard of hearing, when money
is wanted by the printer; but the same
persons IAN always find coin for a
game of pedro.-Beimont Courier.
True as Gospel, Uncle John. we
have over two thousand dollars on our
books due from just such persons as
you allude to.
GONE EAsT.-District Attorney Geo.
w. Merrill left on this mornings train
for a visit to his home away down East

X. Shafer will attend to the duties of
the Office Of Prosecuting Attorney.

a drill at their armory last Monday
evening. There were ;wenty-seven
