A Pleasant AFFAIR.

The progressive euchre party given by
Mr.. w. B. Jordan at the rooms Of the
Miles City Club last evening wal the
largest and most successful strictly So
cial function that has occurred for some
time. Twenty-one tables Of players par
ticipated in the friendly contest for the
handsome prizes, while those present as
spectators merely, brought the attend
ance up to a full hundred, all Of whom
were most charmingly entertained by
Mr.. Jordan, ably assisted by Mrs. J. NJ.
Holt, Mr.. Ally Jorkan and Mr.. Ed Holt.
Play was begun at $40 o'clock and con
Quoted in two sets or series, made up re-
spectively Of ten and eleven tables. At
II o'clock the play war terminated, and
the attention OF those present invited to
an elegant repast. which proved so en-
joyable that an hour or more was spent
in the discussion of it, after which a
canvas was made OF the records made
by the various players, and the award of
the prizes followed, as follows:
In set Progressive, Mrs. j. r. Nc.
Kay and Mr.. VIM. Courtenay. Lone
hand. Mrs. McGurk and Mr.. De earle.
BOBBY, Mrs. Watson and Judge Milburn.
In set Progressive, Mrs. Ed. Camp
bell and Mr.. Leo Orschel. Lone hand.
Miss Young and Mr.. Burniston. BOBBY,
Mrs. Freese and Mr.. Potter.
The prizes we're all very hand
some; the ladies progressive being ele.
giant cut-glass berry bowls. while the
fortunate gentlemen we're favored one
with a scarf pin and the other with a
pair OF cuff buttons. The lone hand
prizes we're a royal Worcester pitcher
and a breakfast castor for the ladies and
a paper case and a pocket flask, both Of
oxidized silver, for the gentlemen. The
ladies who we're unfortunate enough to
win the BOBBY prizes we're consoled with
handsome souvenir spoons, but the gen
tlemen who stood at the foot in each set
were held up to the customary derision
by having to exhibit, one a toy lamband
the other a monkey.
That honor may be given where it is
due it is proper to state that Mrs. Mid.
dleton was tied with Mre. Mckay, Mrs.
johnson with Mrs. Campbell, Messrs.
Ben Holt and George Myers with Mr..
Courtenay, and Mr.. A. T. Campbell with
Mr.. De earle, the final decision in each
case being reached by playing of the tie.

Robert James Gordon, a casual, de-
clined to break stone in return for food
and shelter at the Newcastle workhouse,
and doubtless much to the surprise of
the workhouse authorities successfully
resisted the proceedings taken against
him for that act of INSTRUMENTATION. Be-
ing called on in the Newcastle police
court to explain his refusal, Mr.. Gordon,
who appears to be an educated man and
is described as speaking logically and
fuently,' asked the bench to consider
what such work meant to a man like
him.
His hands would. he said, become
quite lacerated, and We're he a clerk or a
tailor the result would be that in search
ing for employment afterward he would
be unable TO follow it. In the case of a
shorthand writer, too, he asked how he
would be able to write 1870 words per
minute if his hands We're mangled in the
way they assuredly would be after break
ing a ton Of stone. His chances of gain
ing work were thus minimized, and he
Submitted respectfully" that accord
ing to law the master of the workhouse
did not use any of the discretion which
the regulations directed him to use.
After the magistrates had consulted
together for some time, the chairman
stated that the bench could not agree
upon a decision, and that the defendant
would thus get the benefit of the circum-
stance. Personally. he added. he should
certainly have punished him. but mis- col
league being of a different opinion they
had concluded t. dismiss the CASE

4 Racking Cough

Cured by Ayers Cherry P~ectoral.
Mrs. 7. d. HALL, PIT Genessee St.,
Lockport, n. T., says:
"Over thirty years ago, I remember
hearing my father describe the wonder
full curative effects Of Ayers Cherry
Pectoral. During a recent attack Of La
Grippe, which assumed the form OF a
catarrh, soreness of the lungs. accom-
panied by an a~ggravating cough, I
used various remedies and prescriptions.
While some Of these medicines partially
alleviated the coughing during the day,
non Of them afforded me any relief from
that spasmodic action Of the lungs which
would seize me the moment I attempted
to lie down at night. After ten or twelve
such nights. I was
Nearly In Despair,
and had about decided to sit up all night
in my easy chair, and procure what
sleep I could in that way. 1t then DC
CURED Il me that I had a bottle of

water, and was able to lie down without
coughing. In a few moments, I fell

better. took . ~teaspoonful Of the Pee

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON.

A Washington special says: In spite
of all the economies that can be practice
ed by treasury officials the excess of eX-
penditures over receipts continues and
the cash balance in the the vaults grows
smaller, day by day. The total receipts
for December to date foot up to S22, All, =
600, while the expenditures amount to
S27,572,000, of which $l2, 269,0 900. or
nearly one-half is on account of pen
sions. 1t was expected by treasury Of
ficals last month that the customs re-
ceipts would show a considerable in
crease during December on account of
large importations of spring merchan-
disc, but these expectations have not
been realized, and there does not seem to
be an immediate prospect of more ia
vorable condition of the treasury. I'm
less there is a decided Improvement
within the next month or two it will be
found at the end of the fiscal year that
Secretary Carlisle's estimate of deficit
of SIS 100000 for the fiscal year was
much too small and that the deficiency
will be from $35,0O0,O00 to $4,000, 600
and possibly more.

"Crazy Sarah, Il half-insane woman,
who has wandered up and down the
western part of the State for the last 20
or 30 years. died Sunday night at the
Middlebury poor farm. She came TO
town Thanksgiving day and stad in one
and another family here in the village
till last sunday morning, when MIR.
Comstock, overseer of the poor, removed
her to the farm. She had been i'll then
for several days and could not well be
cared for where she WAS. The doctor
said she could not live long and that
her removal would not hasten the end.
A purse containing S2S.75 was found in
her pocket. She possessed nothing else
of value.
She was widely known all through
this section. as she appeared about once
in so often from year TO veal. She had
regular stopping places, but was very
particular in the choice of them. AL
though always more or less ragged, she
was clean, and she would not stay in
houses that were not neat. She never
slept in bed, but made her resting
place of chais. She invariably wore a
peculiar head-gear,' an Old-fashoned
shaker, and her skirts, which were
short, were wiuely extended with hoops
of the wartime eXpansiveness.
From what she told Middlebury
lady, who also obtained information re-
garding her when on visit to Quebec
it is reasonably certain that her name
was Sarah Eldredge McQuinn or Nc.
, Quain, and that she came of a good
family. Her father was wealthy mer.
chant of Quebec, who gave her fine
education. After his death her mother
made an unhappy second marriage
which broke up the family and drove
this daughter insane. She then came tC
Vermont and had been a wanderer here
ever since. She must have been 60 oil
| 20 years of age.
