gressive Whist Party.
The occasion of the installation of Off

Daughters, a few evenings since, was a
very enjoyable one. In connection there
with the Parlor gave its members and
guests a whist party.
The affair took place in Pioneer Hall,
which had been specially decorated for
the occasion, even to the laying of a new
carpet. A cheerful fire cracked on the
hearth, and all the surroundings were
cozy aud comfortable denoting the guild
ing hands of fair woman. The guests of
the Native Daughters were the officers of
Sacramento and Sunset Parlors, and few
other friends, invitations being limited to
the capacity of the hall, hence there was
no discomfort from overcrowding.
Miss Mollie b. Johnson, Past Grand
President of the Order. conducted the in
stallation ceremonies, and the following
officers were installed: Miss Lipha Skel-
ton, Past President: Mrs \ Nellie NJ. Post,
President; Mrs. Abbie j. Eitel, First Vice
President; Mrs. Florence True, Second
president; Miss Nellie Miller. Third
Vice President; Mrs May Colegrove, Re-
cording Secretary; Miss Anna Luther,
Financial Secretary; Miss Belle Johnston.
Treasurer, Mrs. Margie Griffith Marshal;
Mrs. Koegel, Inside Sentinel; Miss Kate
Winn, Outside Sentinel; Miss Irene Rich
ardson, Mrs. Sadie Finnie, Miss Gene
We've Green, Trustees.
At the conclusion of the installation GER
emonies, progressive whist was intro
duced, presided over by the new Presi-
dent, Mrs. Post. There were several
prizes awarded, the first honors falling to
DR.. +. l.. Atkinson and Miss Flora
Luther.
Dainty refreshments were then served,
during which the utmost sociability
reigned. forming fitting conclusion to
an evening of unalloyed enjoyment.

An Ardent Lovers Narrow Escape
from Dose of Lead.
a young gentleman who resides in the
eastern part of the city, and whose best
girl lives down town, had a startling ex-
perience on Saturday night while on his
way to run up gas bill for her father.
No savage bulldog is let loose in the
front yard to keep him at distance, nor
does her father wear square-toed boots
with particularly thick soles. The course
OF true love has therefore run perfectly
smooth heretofore, and he was entirely
unprepared for his last nights adven-
ture.
Wishing to take a car to shorten his
journey, he was waiting at Twenty
eighth and p streets for it to come along.
The temperature of the atmosphere being
decidedly cool, the fire of love which
warmed his heart did not diffuse its
genial glow through his whole system,
and he had turned up his overcoat collar
and enveloped his face in a muller that
hid all but his eyes.
As he stood there, wrapped in blissful

WATER WORKS BOOKS.

Expert Hartman Says CofIey VIII Not
Allow Him to Work on Them.
Expert Hartman, who was employed
by the City Trustees to examine the
books Of Water Clerk Coffey, seems to
have met with some trouble in doing so.
He states that he experienced some
trouble in getting chance to examine
the books, and that Cotfey finally allowed
him to take one and work on it after 4
p. NJ. After going through it and max
ing notes of all deficiencies on the part of
water takers, he asked for the other one,
in order to compare and verify his items,
and Coffey alternately refused and con-
sented, but finally refused point blank to
allow him to have it.
AS consequence Hartman says he
will not be able to finish his report for
presentation to the board at its meeting
to-day.

ii. w. II. Stcinway Seeks to Break
an Alleged Trust Under VIII.
The trial OF an action brought by
Henry W. T. Steinway against william
Steinway and twenty-six others was
begun before Justice Ingraham of the
Supreme Court, to-day. The suit Is the
result Of a paragraph in the will of the
late C. f. Theodore Steinway, an uncle
of the plaintiff. who died March 26,
1889.
Upon the death of the latter it was
found that he had created a trust of
1000 shares of the stock of Stenway &,
Sons, piano manufacturers, for the chill
drcn of his sisters. Wilhelmina, Candi-
dus and Doretta Ziegler. The trust
was to run until 1904.
The plaintiff alleges that there was.
therefore, suspension of the power of
alienation OF more than two lives. On
that ground the suit Is brought.
The defendants allege that the plain
TN has no cause of action. They say
that he has already received his share
OF the estate, and that, further, he
subscribed for his share of $500. 900 OF
new stock in the Company. when the
other trustees of the will did the same
when the capital stock was increased
and that at that time he signed a re-
lease for all claims against the estate
The litigation involves over a million
dollars. The case is still on trial
