EVENTS AND COMMENTS

Lake, on the street cars, to Woods
Cross. Ogden and other near suburban
retreats, but perhaps the most peculiar
ever coming to our notice is a late one
in a Colorado paper. Mr.. T. J. Doyle
married Miss Kittie A Neary. And a
local paper says: 1.-The happy couple
left on the train this morning for the
east. Mr.. Doyle goes to Pueblo and
Mrs. Doyle will go to Hannibal, Mo-, to
visit her parents and friends, after which
she viii return and join her husband at
Pueblo, where they will make their
future home.p

As AN instance of the fun our dignified
lawmakers have we give the following:
One morning last week Representative
Hoblitzell's desk was ornamented with
a floral harp; this roused the members
curiosity, and Cox found card hidden
among the flowers, with the words:
From Violet" This was enough for
Cox, who is known as the entdnt terrible
OF. the House. He soon had crowd
around Mr. Hoblitzell Cox wanted to
know who Violet was. Mr.. Hoblitzell
denied all acquaintance with Violet, and
said that he believed the harp was for
Mr.. Cox. If, said ne, there had been
champagne bottle by it, be would have
been certain it was meantfor Cox. But
he could not get off His felEow-mem-
bers piled him with questions and insin-
nations till he could not answer. At
each question and at each innuendo
everybody laughed. Mr.. Hoblitzell got
warm. He then got warmer. Mr.. Cox
of New York began to hum, softly,
Sweet vioiets, sweeter than all the
roses, . and Representatives Bland, His
cock, Townshend, Broadhead and Muir
ply Joined in the chorus. Hoblitzell
could stand it no longer He sent for a
page and the harp was taken to cloak
room
DURING THE proceedings of the Young
Mems Democratic Club at the Theatre
on Thursday evening, number of girls.
evidently between Is and 20 years of
age, and all respectable in appearance
came 70 the door of the first circle, and
finding all the seats occupied, concluded
TO stand and hear the speeches. They
had been there but few minutes, how
ever, when 1t became very evident that
they had but little interest in the pro
ceedings, and did not propose that any
one else in their immediate vicinity
should hear what was going on. A per-
petual chatter. giggle, and other uniady-
like demonstrations were kept up until
at last a gentleman kindly asked them
10 desist No notice was taken, beyond
Il few contemplate sneers, and finally
their conduct became SO unbearable
that an official was called up stairs to
quell the noise, and with good effect
the feminines Immediately taking flight
1t was humiliating spectacle, but one
that has had its counterpart at nearly
every like public gathering for months,
or years. Troops OF - young
women, would perhaps be the better
term-run up and down the stairs, block
the doorways, and make themselves
disagreeable to such an extent as to
make one blush for their womanhood.
They apparently have no escorts, save
what they may pick up in the building
o. on the streets, and many of them do
not seem ayerse to talking and flirting
with anything that resembles man.
The question naturally arises: Do.the
parents of these girls know of the acts of
their daughters? Do the girls attend
meetings of this character. and under
these circumstances, with the knowl-
edge and consent OF their mothers?
There is certainly something lacking
either in their home-training or in their
intelligence, or they would not act in
such scandalous manner in public
gatherings. We incline to the belief
that in many cases parents know but
little of the actions of their children
save during their presence at home; and,
we regret to say it, care but little for
their acts abroad. There can be but one
road for the girls who indulge in such
practices, and allow themselves to be
surrounded by such influences. 1t is
