The real, and rather beautiful, winter
days of the past week seems to have made
happy spirits and glowing faces, fitting fo,
the enjoyment of Christmas week. Such
were the indications at the meeting Of the
North Side last evening, and Mr.. and Mrs.
J. e. johnson were the host and hostess,
and their elegant residence on College ave.
nue. and Chase street, Twenty-fifth Ward,
was the scene of q brilliant introductory oc--
casion to the holiday festivities. 1t was the
first entertainment given by Mr.. and Mrs.
J. to the North Side, and they made the oc-
casion 80 impressive with every attention
and appointment so perfect that the mem.
bers will impatiently await the recurrence
when they again will preside. They are a
social psi couple, aglow with genial hospitality.

STATE COUP0Ns-A TEST CASE BEFORE THE
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT CoURT.-Mr. w. L.
Royal yesterday morning filed petition
before Chiei-Justice Waite praying for a
writ OF habeas corpus to discharge Mamie
Coles, prisoner confined in the city Jail
and sentenced to pay fine. The petitioner
shows that coupons have been rendered in
payment OF the fine at face-value, and that the
City Sergeant refuses to take the coupons
without deducting the tax imposed by the
act OF Assembly. The case involves the con-
slltutionalty OF the law taxing State bonds
and deducting the tax from the coupons.
~ Is probable that the Chief Justice will con-
sder the petition TO- day.
