FIVE YEARS Welded.
The "WoOden Wedding,' of the Rev.
Dr. and Mrs. Robert Christie of
House of Hone Church.

The ssWooden Wedding'' of the Rev.
Dr. and Mrs. Robert Christie of
House of Hope Church.
One of the most enjoyable social events
of the season occurred last evening at the
residence of the Rev. DR.. Robert Christie,
No. 306 West Third street. Although DIR.
Christie has been pastor of the House of
Hope Presbyterian church for little less
than year. both he and Mrs. Christie have
gained an enviable reputation for high So
cial qualities and true geniality, and have
acquired a very large circle of friends. On
Sunday the doctor announced from the pull
pit that the members of his congregation
and all those who were accustomed to
attend his church would be welcome
guests at a reception at his residence
the next evening. Only few of the most
intimate friends of DR.. and Mrs. Christie
knew that this day was the fifth a1fniver-
Sary of their marriage, but the result was
an ovation sufficient to prove the popularity
of the House of Hopes pastor and his
estimable wife. The house and grounds
were tastefully hung with Chinese lanterns
and the lawn plentifully provided with
evening made agreeable. About 800
guests were present during the
evening, and although they continued
to arrive and depart for several
hours, the house was overaowed
with those who had kindly congratulations
! for the host and hostess. The lawn also
presented a beautiful appearance. and the
entire informally of the whole affair rem
dered it all the more enjoyable. Refresh
ments were served in the dining room
throughout the evening. The reception
afforded the members of the congregation
an opportunity to become acquainted with
each other and strengthened the bond
which already existed between them and
their pastor. Those of the guests who
were aware of the wedding anniversary
bestowed the following presents upon DR..
and Mrs. Christie.
Handsome suit Of bedroom furniture, old
Scotch oak; sldeboard of same wood chair of
same wood; mahogany escritoire; large ma
hogany chair; Madonna in carved wood
frame; mahogany rocking-chair; set of Japa-
nose trays; box of kindling wood; buckets;
bread trays, spice boxes, etc.; cedar pail

waiter and brush; rustic basket filed with
growing flowers; lawn swing; several red
lawn chairs; child's wagon; painted panel on

NIiIitiamem Banuueted.

After the regular drill of Company c.
First regiment. last night the members OF
the company were invited to the artillery
room at the armory and champagne ban
quet rendered by Capt. Dawson, was at
tackled. 1t was given by the captain as a
sort of reward of merit for good work at
the rifle range during the encampment.
After cigars, Privates Hawkes. and Fairchild
entertained the guests with recitations
and Messrs. Fairchild, Lufsky, Dodson.
Andrews and Chantler sang several selec-
lions. After this there was a sort of camp
fire, at which stories of the late encamp-
ment. founded on fact, were passed around.
Capt. Dawson announced that he had re-
considered his resolution to resign and
would stay with the company, an announce
ment that was loudly applauded and gave
universal satifaction, for the captain is
popular. Lieut. Craig formally rendered
his resignation and was made an honorary
member. An election to fill the vacancy
will be held next Monday night.

Knocked Down and Robbed.

At 1 p. M. yesterday an old man was
lured by two young crooks into cave along
the railroad track and under the Wabasha
street bridge. After drinking some beer
with him, one of them got behind him and
struck his head with a piece of rail-
road iron. While he was uncon-
scious from the effect of the blow. they
went through his pockets and relieved him
of S16.5O and ticket to Fargo and then
left him. The case was reported to Officer
Jerry Sullivan, who last night went down
to the union depot clad in civilian
raiment and receiving tip
from a gentleman, found railroad man
drinking in a Sibley street saloon. He az
rested him OH suspicion. At the station the
prisoner gave the unpretentious incognito
of John Smith, and said he was brake
man on the Manitoba road. He was care
fully locked up in new Cell No. 2, the
charge of drunk made against him, and no.
body was permitted to see him.

Starvation in Egypt.

A fellOw-mania makes us wOndrous
kind, and the chief creditor of the castle
| building crank of Hohenschwaugau now
turns out to be the castle building eX-
| khedive. During the fourteen years OF
his administration the viceroy of Egypt
built away some 200, 900, 900 francs, wrung
from the life-blood of starving toilers.
Nine-tenths of the population of Egypt
are, in the most liberal sense, subsisting
upon the bare necessities of the vital pro-
cess; a little rice, little durrha corn,
baked into hard cakes, and washed down
with draught Of ditch-water Professor
ENlinger, on his recent survey of The
bald, was for miles followed by a barefoot
boy, who every now and then approached
the wagon and watched the workings of
the instrument with haggard eyes.
Ascribmg his persistence to an impulse
of scientific curiosity, the professor asked
his dragoman TO hand him a telescope and
invite him TO take peep at the distant
mountains He's after something else,
| guess laughed the interpreter, and a
short conversation sufticed to confirm
that theory. There is some corn split in
your wagon" said the dragoman, "and
this youngster asks your permission to
eat handful of it" The corn-hard,
dry, maize cOrn-was swiftly absorbed by
the youthful son of the desert. who, with
the same prOmptitude, devOured quart
Of dried fruit and lot OF fluid butter, but
took to his heels like a deer when the
dragomRn handed him a paper full of
mustard pickles and yelled at him for
dropping them after the first bite.-Dr.

Drawing the Line Finely.

Snobbery is rampant now, and no line is
drawn more finely than that which separates,
the world of fashion from trade and from
-the city" as the business part of the town
and inhabitants are now called. All this Is
quite recent too. | am a native of New
York, and remember very well when rich
merchants doctors, brokers, Wall street
operators, and even the heads of great retail
shops found their vocatiOns no bar to social
recognition. Not 50 now. Against them all
the protesting hand is raised. The banker is
recognlzed, but not the broker A few years
ago the jolly, free lively. richly dressed and
spendthrift broker was considered no end of a
good fellow. Now he is looked on "a a vulgar
and noisy man who conducts gambling opera
tons for clients and drinks champagne over
bar. The doctor receives money from
society Hence he is as much society's servant
as the drygoods merchant, and neither can lie
regarded as an equal In a word, society in
New York to-day is power that makes its
own laws and draws them more severely
every SEASON There are only two things
about it that New Yorker finds to admire;
It's respect for old residents of the town and
its contempt for every other society. II

Little has been done or can be said in
newspaper columns concerning the life of
newsgirls. For few Of them can the same
excuse be offered As for the boys. that il
is the legitimate and only occupation by
which they must earn their bread. Ii is
not believed that there is one of them
who has not home and some person who
should keep her off the streets Some of
them, however, are wayward naturally,
OF have been made so by evil association
in their extreme youth, while others-snd
the greatest number, it is to be feared
are knowingly sent out to the life Of de-
mOraliZation and vice that is inevitable
by the very persons who should most
carefully have guarded them from such a
fate. There are, of course, some few ex-
ception in the cases of girls who 90 out to
sell papers with their mothers who have
established stands, and though forced by
poverty TO employ their childreu's aid in
the battle Of life, strive in so doing to
shield them from evil by keeping them as
closely as possible to the maternal apron
strings. Even then. it is rare that their
d"1ghters escape contamination from the
thoroughly corrupt girls of their own age
with whom they are brought in contact
daily.
The great body Of the newsgirls run
ming wild on the street have acquired a
knowledge of and proficiency in vice be
fore they have grown old enough to rec
ognize its degradation aud the inevitable
ruinOus consequences. The older ones
educate the younger in vice; the youngest
strive TO emulate in all of which they
should be innocent A large proportion
of them are Italians, and many are very
pretty while they are very young. In fact,
a newsgirl has little hope of success if she
Is not pretty and soon finds herself forced
out Of competition to other walks in life
where good looks are not so essential

From Glasgow comes evidence of an unmis-
taxable character that oil has been tried and
found wanting The managers of the Laird
line, after long trial of oil on board one of
their steamers, have decided, on purely eco
nomic grounds, to abandon altogether the
Use of oil as a fuel, having ascertained from
practical tests extending over considerable
period that coal is the cheaper fuel of the two
Accordingly, they have had the oil tanks
taken out of their vessel and have returned to
the Use of coal, notwithstanding the fact that
the oil tanks and the apparatus for accom-
plishing complete combustion of the oil cost a
considerable sum of money. Although con-
siderable ingenuity has been displayed and
several difficulties have been overcome, there
is nothing in the latest apparatus and ar
rangcments which have been adopted in
southeastern Russia, where petroleum has
been extensively used as fuel which appears
likely to expedite the adoption of liquid fuel
in our mercantile marine. There is little
probability of petroleum being sold in this
country at price which will enable it to
take the place of coal.-The Shipping World.
