Ice-Cream Festival.

The ice-cream supper given by
the ladies of the Methodist church
in the Irwin Grove Tuesday night
was one of the most pleasant
affairs we have attended for some
time. 1t is enough to make one
forget the cares of life to have
the pleasure of sitting down to an
elegantly arrayed table, served
by handsome ladies to ice-cream
and cake, fit for angels food, as
we were on that occasion.
The grounds were beautifully
lighted up with Chinese lanterns
and the tables arranged and deco
rated with great taste. The sum-
mer-house, which was imprOvised
into a band-stand, was lighted up
and seats arranged for the Savan-
nah Cornet Band which furnished
the music for the occasion, and
which, by the way, received nu-
merous deserved compliments.
The refreshments were all that
could be desired and a large
crowd was in attendance. The
net receipts amounted to $500.
The Committee desires to re-
turn thanks to those who so kind
ly gave their assistance, and to
the band for the excellent music
which added so much to the Oc-
casiOn.

Go Home and Wait.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 13.-The admin
istration, notwithstanding the great amount
of time given to Office seekers, is accused by
politicians of making the appointments very
slowly. That unquestinoably is the inten-
ton of the president ana cabinet. One OF
the chief purposes of the cabinet officials is
to induce the Office seekers to 60 home. The
latter are undergoing what is called the
wearing out" process. The number of ap-
pointments will not be materially increased
80 long as the crowds remain. No consider
able changes have been made except in the
matter of the fourth class postmasters, and
few are at present contemplated. In the
postoffice department Mr.. Clarks0n has un-
doubtedly shown himself f1t successor of
Stevenson, of Illinois, who gained a reputa-
ton for the rapid and satisfactory removal
of fourth class postmasters. No metaphys-
ical inquiry into adequate causes for remov-
al seems to be necessary in that department..
The axe simply falls.

placing their wounded comrades in q wagon,

and the entire party was discovered later by
some cowboys, stretched out on the prairie.
The cowboys took the one dead and three
wounded men to the nearest stage station.
