The Spanish Students Concert.

The Spanish Students concert, which is
to come off here Jan. end, will be one Of
the choicest entertainments Of the season.
The origin of this combination was the
formation in Madrid, Spain, a number of
years since, of q musical organization CON-
posed of the students of the principal col
lege Of that city. Their concerts became
exceedingly popular and after two years
they visited the Paris Exposition and re-
ceived such fiattering offers Of engage
ments from all parts of the Continent that
they decided to remain permanently on the
concert stage, and have appeared with
brilliant success in all principal European
cities. They viii appear in the student
Costume Of their country-velvet blouse,
cloak, knee breeches, silk stockings, shoes
with large silver buckles, regular student
hats of black felt and holding their en-
blem, the ivory spoon, for ages worn in
Spain as an indication that they belong to
the educated classes. Their instruments
mandolins and guitars-played with the
skill Of these masters, produce a combina-
ton Of weird harmony that cannot be
described.

OUR LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.
HUNTINGTON.

To the Editor Of the ENTERPRISE.
Mr.. EDITOR BY the urgent request of
many send you condensed account of
the Semi Centennial services and fragments
of the history of the Baptist Church of
Huntington, held in that place Wednes-
day, Dec. 18th and 18th, 1888.
The day previous faithful hands trimmed
the old church in elaborate profusion of
evergreens and choice house plants and
hanging baskets, many of them the gift of
Mrs. A. J. Burrell. In the rear OF the pull
pit, in rainbow form, was the motto "Thus
far the Lord has led US on" in gilt letters
trimmed with evergreens, below the ini-
tials j. N. 1888 and P. K. 1888.
James Newton was the first pastor when
the church was organized and p. Kennedy
the present pastor. A previous notice had
been sent to all former pastors and men,
bers and several came even from distance.
The first half hour was spent in social
greetings At 1920 Rev. F. Adkins, of
Elyria, led half hour OF devotion. At IL
o'clock Rev. s. B. Webster, of Euclid, a
dear old friend of the church, preached
the memorial sermon in his usual loving
manner to a large audience. A lap dinner
was served tn all and "old acquintances
were not forgot when we sat down to
dine" At 80 Rev. NJ. Roberts led a
season of devotion followed by an
elaborate history of the church pre-
pared and read by A. ]. Sage. We will
give in detail only few Of its out
lines. The church was organized at
the house of Jessie johnson Dec. 18th,
1888, with ten members, viz: Abner Chap
man and wife, Olive Chapman, Abner
Chapman, Jr, W. F. Chapman, Eunic g
Chapman, Hulda Chapman, Jessie John
son, Reuben T. Pierce, Jonathan Niles and
wife Esther Niles. Jonathan Niles was
chosen deacon and Abner Chapman, Jr.,
clerk. Reuben Pierce died in Huntington
in 1916. Abner Chapman died in Hunt
ington in 1851. Olive Chapman died in
Huntington in 1854. Hulda Chapman
married Crosby Lang and died in 1868.
Jonathan Niles died in Orland, Indiana, in
1915. Jessie johnson died in Kalamazoo,
Michigan, in 1875. w. F. Chapman died
in Huntington in 1880. Esther Niles still
lives in Orland, Ind, an active member of
the First Baptist Church, in her 77th year.
Eunice Chapman married Lyman West
and is now living in Lansing, Mich. Alb
ner Chapman, Jr., resides in Wellington.

sought after for this seasons holiday pur-

being made.
Christmas is coming and so are the en-
joyable events of the season and so did one
OF these events land at the residence of
Truman Moore, East Side, last Wednesday
evening. Truman had been meditating
whether they could get along without him
at the lodge or not and had finally decided
to remain at home when suddenly they
were startled by seeing their friends and
old neighbors from Sheffield and Avon
who had planned and executed very
agreeable surprise. After n pleasant eve
ming, few songs and instrumental pieces
by a number OF the party the guests were
invited to the dining room where the
tables fairly groaned with the good things
to tempt the appetite. Everything was
put forth by Mr. and Mrs. Moore to make
the event a pleasant one. About 12 o'clock
the party broke up, all feeling that We
would weigh heavier on the scales than
when we came and also feeling that we
had enjoyed very pleasant evening and
that II is the place to go to have jolly
good time. ***

A Remarkable Case.

DIR. Hartman-Dear Sir: am induced
by a sense OF duty to the suffering to make
brief statement of your remarkable cure

to bear my weight upon my feet. l was
treated by the most reputable physicians in
our city, each aud all saying they could do
nothing for me, had given up all hopes

most happy to say, in three months was
perfectly well-entirely cured without any
appliances or supports of any kind.
Yours truly, Mrs. HENRY ELLIS.

Death Of Mrs. Mast.

Mrs. Sarah McDermott, wife of Prof.
Albert ]. Mast, died of consumption, at 8
o'clock this morning, at the house of her
sister, Mrs. w. r. Santley. She was a lady
of great excellence of character and unus-
ual ability, on whom all about her were
wont to rely, and to whom her family and
friends were devotedly attached. The CIV

husband and the little ones, too young
to comprehend their loss, was triumph
of grace attained months ago and there
after she rested peacefully.

The fact that good health, strong mus
cles and sound nerves are attainable, should
encourage every invalid to an earnest en-
deavor In the right direction. Remember
all disease owes its origin more or less to
a lack of iron in the blood. Iron in the
blood means health, strength and vigor.
Analyze the blood of an invalid and little
or no iron will be found. Healthy mems
blood is tull of iron. The best method of
supplying this lack of iron is by using
Browns Iron Bitters, a sure cure for dys-
pepsia, general debility, weakness and all
wasting diseases. rff

A. w. and G. w. Pettibone have
purchased the new portion of the
Whatcom hotel building, and have
extended the lease to Mr.. Nelson
Kelley, the present landlord. The
Messrs. Pettibones were the original
owners of the lot on which the build
ing stands, and during the golden
days Of '5S had o mercantile establish
ment located thereon, and transacted
an extensive business, averaging
from $1,000 to $4,000 per day. When
Governor Douglas, of Victoria, issued
his er-to-be-forgotten proclama-
tion requiring miners to take out q
bottom fell out of the Whatcom boom,
and Msssrs. Pettibone returned to
Victoria, where they engaged in busi-
return to Wisconsin. That peculiar
to the wanderer after having once en-
joyed the beauties and glories Of this
grand Italian climate, in all the sue
ceeding years continued to make its
influence felt in this case, as in all
others, and A. w. and G. w. Petit
bone finally yielded to the inevitable
and have returned to Whatcom to re-
main permanently. Their families,
now in Wisconsin, are preparing to
remove to this city as soon as conve-
nient homes can be prepared for them.
This incident is one Of the many 9TH
ers that serve to demonstrate the fact
that no one who has lived on Belling-
ham Bay can go away and remain
permanently. It may be stated as
fact that all of the old timers who
were here in the palmy days of 1858,
and have not in the interim been
called to the other shore, will slowly
but surely gravitate back to Puget
Sound and Bellingham Bay. They
are coming by every boat, and are
coming this time to stay.-Sedttle
