4 Benefit for the Sufferers.

Mr.. W. J. Melville called at the ARGUS
office last evening as the representative
OF the Port Townsend Glee Club, and in
formed US that he would interest the
club in getting up concert for the bene-
fit OF the Seattle sufferers. This would
be an excellent way to raise funds for
the sufferers, and also give an oppor-
tunity for the citizens of Port Townsend
to enjoy good concert. The object of
the concert is such worthy one that we
feel assured Il goodly sum will be raised.
The concert itself we are confident will
be well worth your time and money.
Mayor Learned has kindly donated his
opera house, and the concert will be
given on Friday evening, June 18th

the compromise. We have a great deal

THE PICNIC.
A Very Enjoyable Affair at Lake Park
Thursday.
JAS. G. SWAN.

Tibbals Lake Park was scene of AMI
nation and pretty girls yesterday who
had gathered there upon an invitation
extended by Mrs. Frank A. Bartlett, and
the day will ever remain green in the
memory Of those who were present. The
hostess was eatly on the ground aud re-
ceived every one with a pleasant word
and cordial shake Of the hand making
everyone feel at home. Mrs. Bartlett
had provided carriages to take a num-
Der of guests as we'll as an orchestra for
dancing and at IL o'clock there were at
least one hundred and fifty people present.
The lunch baskets were taken out in an
express wagon. Through the kindness Of
the hostess table cloths were provided,
and at half-past one the tables were
grooming with good things, ana every
one was enjoying themselves. Dancing
began Immediately after lunch, and con-
tinued until five O'Clock, when the guests
began to depart. Capt. Tibbals with
that generosity for wlich he is noted,
had provided swings and BEATS the race
track had been rolled and everything put
in excellent order for those who wanted
to speed their horses. Capt Plum was
present for short time in the interest OF
Capt. Tibbals, and to see that his orders
had been carried out; Judge Kuhn was
on hand with two sacks of clans, fire
was soon started and in a little while he
passed around to the different tables and
helped the ladies and gentlemen to an
abundance of deliciously cooked CLAIMS.
Frank Bartlett looked after the interests
of the gentlemen and made each feel as
ough he was ON his own grounds. To
both Mrs. and Mr.. Bartlett everyone
present owe debt of gratitude for the
days pleasure and which will ever appear
in letters of gold upon memory's page
time can never efface it,
To Captain Tibbals, Port Townsend
must ever feel grateful for providing SO
pleasant a place as Lake Park for a
days outing. He has arranged every
thing equally as we'll as may be found in
much larger cities and it Is to be re-
gretted that ere long the park grounds
must be cleared TO make room for the
cottages that are 20 be erected. A pret-
tier site for home cannot be found.

The Tear Handkerchief.

Courier Journal: In some parts of Ty-

OF the ''tear handkerchief" is thus de-
scribed:
When peasant girl Is going to be
married, before she leaves her homo to
60 to the church her mother gives her q
handkerchief which is called the "tear
handkerchief" 1t is made of newly
spun linen, and has never bson used.
She is supposed to dry her tears with
this when she leaves her home and
stands at the altar. After the marriage
is over, and the bride has gone With her
husband to her new house, she carefully
folds up the handkerchief and places it
unwasbed among her little treasures.
So far it has done only half it's duty.
Her children grow up. marry and go
away TO new homes, each daughter re-
ceiviug in her turn tear handkerchief,
and yet that last present, the present re.
ceived from her mother has not fulfilled
its object. Years roll by and the once
young and blooming bride hiss become a
wrinkled old woman, aud outliyed per-
haps, her husband and all her children.
At last, when the weary eyelids are
closed for their long sleep, the tear
handkerchief is taken from it's resting
place aud spread over the placid features
of The dead. Thus it performs its mis-

The City's Population.

The population of Port Townsend, SO
far as tai ken by Deputy Sheriff w. ].
Jones, last evening aggregated to 209O
people. This covers about three-fourths
of the fiat, the business portion OF the
city, and is just one hundred more than
Was in the city two years ago. The CEN
sus from a conservative point OF reckon
ing, will be about 4,3O0-possible over
5000 inhabitants, showing an increased
population of over one hundred per cent
in twenty-four months. There is not
another city on the coast that can pro-
ducs such bona fde evidence of pros
parity from actual official statements,
clearly indicating that the port CT entry
is rapidly coming TO the front as one oil
the chief cities of the Sound. The cen
sus is being taken 10 a very careful man.
