BRIDAL ROSES

Mr.. John j. Larson and Miss Soft
Peterson, very popular young couple,
were Joined in marriage last Wednes-
day evening in the handsome new res
idence of the groom, on the corner of
North Elk and Kentucky streets, Rev.
Carlo Sperati, of the Lutheran church,
performing the ceremony. The pres
ence of about fifty couples, numbering
some of the leading society people of
New Whatcom, attested the popularity
of the happy couple. The bride was
tastefully dressed in white silk, the
trimming of her hair, in the national
fashion of Sweden, and being orna-
mented with orange blossoms, giving
an artistic and romantic effect to the
ceremony. Miss Belle Larson and Miss
Mary Crook attended the bride, while
Messrs. +. and t. Peterson acted as
groomsmen. A large number of hand
some and elegant presents ornamented
the tables, the hook and ladder COM
pany having sent beautiful china tea
set in honor of the occasion. The bridal
couple took the City of Seattle the fol-
lowing morning for a wedding trip to
Tacoma.

The unity of purpose shown by peo-
pie of both ends of the Bay in support
of this worthy enterprise is most COM
mendable. The hospital has done, is
doing and will continue to do a vast
amount of good, and the people of the
Bay cities, without regard to locality,
politics or religion, ought to show their
interest in its great work and willing
ness to aid it by literally patronizing
the fair.

PRoGREssIyE EucHRE

The charming home of Mr.. and Mrs.
G.. F. Mayer was again the scene of
very enjoyable social event on Friday
evening, the party, like the one of the
previous week, being in honor of Mrs.
Mayors daughter. Mrs. A. +. Rogers,
of Hillsboro, Ore. The evening was de-
voted principally to progressive euchre,
and passed most pleasantly for all. The
tally cards were all hand painted in
water colors, the work of the hostess
and her daughter, each table being
represented by distinctive flower,
forming interesting souvenirs of the
occasion. The first lady's prize was
won by Mrs. Seymour, and the first
gentleman's prize by Mr.. Clarke. Mrs.
Holbrook bore away the lady's ''conso-
lation,r while Mr.. Hardy was the gen.
tleman who achieved the same distinc-
ten. A most dainty lunch was
served, and during the evening Mrs.
Holbrook yielded to the solicitations of
her friends and sang selection in her
usual charming style. Fairhaven has
the honor of introducing an entirely
novel feature in progressive euchre,
which Is that the gentleman winning
the first prize must crow, thus paying
the penalty to his less fortunate COM
petitors. 1t Is needless to state that on
this occasion this feature was carried
out and in a truly artistic manner. IL
required considerable individual per-
suasion TO get Mr.. Clarke up to the
growing point, but when he did get
there he crowed in a way that would
make the most lordly rooster hang his
head and "come off the perch" Those
present were: Mr.. and Mrs. +. ii. An
derson, Mr.. and Mrs. III. b. Bateman
Mr.. and Mrs. J. b. Badly, Mr.. and Mrs

Dull Time Figures.

Richard H. Edmonds, of Baltimore,
gives in the August number of the Forum
some account of the present resource, and
recent progress of the South. The rec
cd is one which every Southerner will
read with pride and every other Ameri-
can should rejoice in. We can take only
few Of the most striking passages in
that record. The South produced $685.
s42, 900 bushels of corn in 1891, q gain
of shout rs per cent. over the production
in 1881. The gain in cotton production
was about the same, from s, ,456, 900 bales
in 1881 to nearly 1900, 900 bales last
year. The gain in railroads is even more
remarkable. Ten years ago the South
had $4,000 miles of railroad; now it has
about 45, 900, gain of nearly 90 per
cent and the increase in the number of
passengers and the amount of freight car
ried has been enormous. Between 23,-
600, 600 and "a, 900, 900 tons OF coal were
mined in the South in 1891, only about
5000, 600 10 1881. The value of exports
from Southern ports has increased from
$257, $50, ,401 to $349, s01, 900, gain of
38 per cent, which is nearly five times
the gain made at the other ports of the
United States. The Southern output of
iron is nearly 325 per cent. greater than
in 1881. The gain in manufacturing and
banking and all branches of business has
been great. The assessed value of
property is nearly two billions greater
than in 1881.
