SUCCESSFUL OPENING.
Bril- liant Scene at the Bazaar In st.
MarN'a school Hal.

Bril- liant Scene at the Bazaar In ST.
Mary's school Hail.
The opening OF the bazaar OF the Ladies'
Aid Society of st. Mary's parish held to
swell the fund for new convent, was
opened last evening at 1880 o'clock at the
school hall and as soon as the doors were
swung back the success of the affair was
guara nteed.
The spacious hall was hardly large
enough to accommodate all the visitors, and
for the hrst few hours standing room only
could be had. Perfectly lovely" was an
exclamation that escaped many feminine
lips as they entered and were compelled
to stop and gaze In admiration at the hall,
booths, ana the tastefully and appropri-
at,ly attired ladies.
The men we're perhaps more reserved In
their remarks, but they were mono the
less pleased and not a little mystifed
when they walked around and wondered
how such fairy like affairs as the booths
and their contents could be made and
arranged so artistically.
1t was "Parish night" but there were
many visitors, not only from other par
ishes but from outside the city.
The lady attendants at the many booths
we're attired in neat and attractive COS
tunes while those In charge Of the Orien-
tai booth wore Japanese costumes that
were very appropriate and tended to
highten the effect OF the gorgeous sur
roundings. The stage Is a beautiful pic
ture. No drawing room is nicer and
no chamber of state Is more beautiful
than that in charge of Mrs John jolly at
the right of the stage. All admired the
appointments and all want to own the
outfit. The art gallery at the right OF tho
entrance was a great attraction and
nothing excited more complimentary re-
marks than the lemonade wall In the
center where the representation Of the
old oaken BUCKET is perfect. The well
curb, bucket and other parts are covered
with green moss which made some think

The confectionery, cigar and cate

A YALE FOOTBALL RUSHER
Alone and Unarmed Holds a Crowd at
Bay and Saves Life.

TACOMA, April 6.-W. w. Heffelflnger,
the famous rusher Of the Yale football

people of Skykamish, one of the toughest
towns I'm the West, because he had the
nerve to face their fury and prevent them
from hanging bully and desperate whom
they hated and feared A big brutal fell

terror of the town. The kid always had
bis guns with him and very few men dared

Heffelfinger is an assistant paymaster in
the employ of the Great Northern. On
Saturday the pay car passed over the road
and the men were paid for the month.
Soon the whole town was in
An Uproar over Robberies.
About 200 railroad men congregatei and
began discussing means Of protecting
themselves
Big Kid was generally regarded as the
man at the bottom of all the trouble,
and when one of them yelled, LET us 20
down to the Big Kids dive" they yelled
approval I'VE want a spokesman"
shouted two or three voices, and several
yelled in answer: whats the matter

Hes all rightr roared hundred
voices, and the big man from Yale pushed
to the front. Heffelfnger promptly led
the men to Big Kids cabin and said:
kid, we have come to the conclusion
that you are not wanted in this town. We
will allow you until 4 o'clock tomorrow
morning to leave Skykomish."
mo-" yelled the crowd, ''hang him"
The Cry Was Taken Up,
and a score of men started toward the kid,
who was ready ina twinkling TO sell his
life dearly.

The crowd listened for a while, but soon
broke out again i'm wild cry for the death
of the kid.
When guns were whipped out for the
second time Heffelinger thought his time
had come, but said: Boys, you can't have
this man"
This declaration seemed to astonish the
crowd. This was a display of nerve that
the rough men around him could not help
but admire There was short silence,
revolvers were lowered and Yale's old ath-
lete was master of the situation, and Big
Kid left town.

Yesterday in a light vote In this city as
compared with last year the tables were
turned and instead of the Republican can.
didate carrying the city by a plurality he
leaves with decided minority.
This year the vote stands: Baker, 1,s06;
Brown, 1888; Metcaif, 424, a total OF 1888
against last years. vote of 1894, of which
Brown had 2,42s, wardwell, 1882; Gilbert,
81, and Burton II.
This falling of of 1881 votes is sc-
counted for as follows:
The registration fell Oh about 600 from
last year and the vote of yesterday shows
that the estimate OF the TRIBUNE was cor
rect when 1t stated that the Republicans
lost about two-th rds of 1t. Then under
the "Blodgett" law about 300 were strick-
en- from The lists because of failure to file
their papers, while about 100 more were
taken OF for non. residence and being
minors.
The later class, however, will be eligible
in November.
Our respected fellow citizen, Hon.
Henry B. Metcalf, poiled a surprisingly
large vote in this city, receiving 424 to 81
for Gilbert last year.
1t would appear as II this city was a
fair sample OF the pulse of the State as
Baker has 22,010 in the whole State against
25, ,4s3 for wardwelI, falling OF of 3,423.
Brown has 81 ,s27 against 7,481 for him
self last year, a falling OF OF 6,644, while
Metcalf secures 3,268 against !, 1,59s last
year for Gilbert, a gain of 1872 or more
than double.
The Democracy has gained Senators In
xtucket, Newport, Cumberland, North
smithfeld, Cranston, Coventry and possi-
bly, in Johnston, while surprisingly
strong Republican towns as North Provi-
dence and Smithneld will have to try a
second time, and the Democratic candi-
dates led yesterday.
The only Republican on the State ticket
who received a plurality vote was Charles
p. Bennett, candidate for Secretary OF
State. Whether he In elected or not is yet
dou btfuI.
There is possibility OF the Attorney
General and General Treasurer being
elected by the people.

WHICH SHALL It Be I?
Southern Factions Quar-
reIing Over SpoiIs.
GET BUT LITTLE COMFORT.
One Man Recommendations Not Rec
ognised by Bissell's Department.

WASHINGTON, April 6-There was Q
lively meeting lasting two hours and
three quarters yesterday afternoon in the
Office of Postmaster General Bissell be-
tween two factions of the South Carolina
Democracy. Senator Irby and Repre-
ssntatives Latimer, Talbert, Shell and
Strait, were present, representing the
Tillmanites, and Senator Butler and ex-
Representatives Johnstone and Hemphill
were conservatives. The feeling between
the factions runs very high. Senator Irby
stated at the start that he had It ON
authority that Senator Butler came here
with . stick In his hand and pissol in his
pocket. Mr.. Butler denied this allegation
absolutely.
Each side presented its case, the Tillman-
ties claiming that they represented the
Democratic party of South Carolina and
the conservatives declaring the Tillman-
ties were Alliance men and not Democrats.
Postmaster General Bissell having said
that he would hear Senator Irby, the lat
ter replied that he would wait on the
senior senator, to which Mr.. Butler re-
torted that unless Mr.. Irby was running
the meeting he would submit to no dicta-
tion at his hands and was tired of his in
science, and there was an equally sharp
passage between Strait and Butler.
Mr.. Bissell said that the department
would not regard the recommendation of
a senator or representative as conclusive,
but merely presumptive. in favor of the
men indorsed, so long rs he was at the
head Of the postoffice department. II it
were regarded ss conclusive IL would
amount to the legislative branch of the
government absorbing the executive
branch Mr.. Bissell did not say how he
would decide between the two factions.
