The famous carpet-bag governor OF Lou
.isiana, Warmoth, is at the front again.
He has been appointed collector of customs
at New Orleans. Warm ,th is smart and
rich, aud is one of Louisana's largest sugar
planters. He is better thought of in that
state now than when he was the leader of
republicans In the carpet-bag era.
Perhaps he would have been happier had
he kept out of politics and attended to
sugar planting.

Why Did she Do ItP


I saw her scrolling by the sea,
sweet, a shy ana winsOme miss,
And as she slyy glanced at me
threw her stealthily q kiss.
She looked around-the winsOme miss
No prying eyes We're there to see;
RespOndin., 10 my waited kiss.
She waved her handkerchief OF me.
Were married, she's no more a miss,
And Oft I ask myself in grief:
Why dld throw that fatal kisss
Why did she wave her handkerchief?

LEMON PARTIES, which were somewhat In
vogue last winter in Washington society. have
broken out at the watering places. One was
given recently at Lake George cottage. The
hostess hung her rooms with delicate yellow
crepe the inexpensive Japanese sort, which is
however. very effective Yellow shades were
on all the lamps and innumerable fairy lanons
shining through yellow porcelain, added their
mite to the golden effect. On the piazzns ana
grounds were Chinese lanterns, all swinging in
yellow bags. Every guest, as is required. eava

These were subsequently taken to the
kitchen, and all the seeds careflIlIv
taken out and co lected in small
glass jar The company meanwhile were
engaged in cards and conversation in the mar
Tors. At a signal from the hostess tie Jar was
brought in and passed in review before every
guest, who made a mental estimate of the num-
Der of seeds it contained, and recorded his
opinion on a small yellow tablet already fur
nshed him, lndorsing his count with his sigma
ture. The tablets were afterward collected
and the result announced. The winner. who
was tie one, of course, whose guess came the
nearest the number of seeds, received a pretty
lemonade set, and the BOBBY" a yellow,
squeezer ornamented with a yellow bow
Lemon cake, lemon jelly, lemonade and lemon
ices constituted the refreshments and every
guest, on leaving was presented with a box of
lemon drops tied with yellow ribbon.

SMALLPOX IN DENVER.
The Mayor Makes Official Refutation Of Re-
ports Circulated Throughout the East
Only Three Cases in the City.

DENVER, COL, Jan. 24.-Mayor Lee
to-day furnished the Associated press
agent at this city the following report:
Some irresponsible person -xho had
taken dislike to Denver dropped the re-
mark at Kansas City in the presence of
a newspaper reporter that there were
several hundred cases of smallpox
IN our city. This remark was telegraphed
to Chicago newspapers and published as
fact throughout most of the Eastern
cities, and as result there is a general
impression prevailing throughout the
East that an epidemic of small
pox exists in Denver This is
absolutely false At the present time
there are only three cases of smallpox
within the city limits, and these cases are
thoroughly quarantined so it will be
impossible for the disease to spead
There has been no more smallpox here
during the winter than is usual in every
city Of the size OF Denver at this
season of the year. Physicians
and others acquainted with our
climate all agree there is no
other city in the Union so healthful, and
the official mortality sheet bears out this
statement. Our city is in every way
prosperous at the present time, having
increased in population during the past
year more than 20 900, and the present
indications point to q much larger in
crease in the coming year
