PEND p.oREILLE RIVER.

In no way could congress better spend
money on the improvement OF rivers
ana harbors than by making liberal
appropriation for the improvement OF
the Pend d'0reille river from the foot OF
Flathead lake TO Jooko, a station on the
Northern Pacific railway. A petition
asking this action has been prepared
and signed by everyone to whom it was
presented. II deserves the careful at
tention OF the committees OF the house
and senate ON rivers and harbors. 1t
would not require an excessive amount
OF money 10 make the river navigable
for the steamers that ply the lake, and
the effect would be to practically give
the rich Flathead valley line OF
competing railway, and from the reduc-
tion OF freight rates thus insured add
very materially 10 the prospects OF that
region. Ii would open new markets for
the farm products OF that rich farming
section, give new impetus to the lum-
ber and mining industries, and build up
the cities OF the valley, in which man
ufacturing enterprises would soon be-
GIN TO spring up, stimulating the other
industries, and in turn growing in popu-
lation and wealth as the country round
them became populated With prosper
GUS farmers. II would hasten by sew
sral years the coming OF that large pop
ulation which inevitably will come to
the northwestern section Of Montana.
The distance from Jocko, on the
Northern Pacific, to the foot Of Flat
head lake, as the crow flee, is about
thirty miles. Following the winding
course OF the Pend d'Oreille river it is,
Of course, q somewhat greater distance.
But for most OF the way there would be
required no work TO make the stream
navigable by the heavy freight steamers
already plying the lake. Across the
lake and up the Flathead river to De-
mersville there is clear sailing, and the
boats land within three miles OF Kalis-
pell, and only few miles further from
Columbia Falls, the two largest cities
Of the valley, and the distributing points
for large section OF country that annu-
ally calls for q vast amount OF supplies.
Now with navigation open from Jocko
TO Demersville the heavy expense OF
tesming supplies distance OF
thirty miles would be avoided,
and goods would be loaded
right on the boats from the
railroad station. The products Of the
farms, mines and timber lands o. the
Flathead valley going to market would
be loaded on the boats at Demersyille,
right in the valley, and carried by water
to the railroad station. Thus the Flat
head valley would practically have two
competing lines Of railroad.
AS we understand 1t, the most OF the
expense Of opening the Pend d'Oreille
river TO navigation would be at the rap
ids about two miles south OF the foot OF
Flathead lake. This would require con-
siderable blasting and probably the
building OF lock, But when once done
il would be done forever, and there
would be no necessity for large appro-
priations year by year TO keep the workf
in order. The advantages Of a small
outlay now would be enduring, and in
Grease with the settlement OF the val
ley.
Prompt action by congress- on this
important matter would be as seed
sown In rich soil, and the harvest would
be abundant and uniailng.

ooLoRED ARIsToORAoY ENTERTAIN
Reception and Hop of the Ladies'
Social Club.


Teutonia Assembly Rooms, at Beacon and
Oakland avenues, were a scene of much
mirth and laughter last night. The Ladies'
Social Club of Jersey City Heights gave a
reception and hop under the management of
Mr.. Michael Berry, a prominent colored
politician of the Heights. The society con-
sists of the colored a~ristocracy of Sparrow
Hill and vicinity, and numbers several white
people among its members.
Both white and colored people began to
assemble in the hall as early as seven o'clock
and continued to pour into the rooms until
professor" Berry was compelled to hang
out the sign, "No more ROOM" At eleven
o'clock the orchestra struck up the grand
march, and there was a general stampede
''foh pardners,' and in the melee the bru-
nettes got entangled with the blondes, and it
was hard to distinguish one from the other.
Consequently it took some time to get into
line.
Mr.. Frank McAusland nj Mrs. Russell
had the honor of leading the march. Others
who participated in the evenings enjoyment
were:-Mr. S. Herbert, Miss Herbert, Mr..

FAIRVIBWs CATASTROPHE
Coroner Volk Trying to Fix tn
Blame for the Accident.

Coroner Volk conducted an inquest into
the recent trestle catastrophe at Fairview in
Holstein's Hall, Hoboken, last evening. The
investigation was not concluded last night,
but was adjourned until next Wednesday
evening at half-past seven o'clock. In the
accident there were five Italians killed and
thirty injured. Some of those hurt are now
lying at st. Mary's Hospital, nursing broken
bones or other bruises. The first testimony
taken was that of Calvin Broadhead, of the
firm of Broadhead & Hickey, contractors,
who were constructing the trestle which col
lapsed. Mr.. B~roadhead said the structure
was merely a temporary one, so that dirt
could be filed in aroun it.
Sanford & Ross drove the heavy piles for
the ~trestle. They said the trestle at times
settled in the foundation, but it was never in
a dangerous condition. In working, the men
were ordered to stay on the embankment
while the cars were run over the t~restle, and
then to follow. On the morning of the acct
dent, however, they were ordered upon the
trestle. The trestle was from 16 to 81 feet
high, and the piles were driven from 40 to So
feet in the ground. Albert Alberson was
foreman of the job for sinking the piles.
Patrick Mulvihy was the foreman of the
trestle building. There were two sets of
braces employed to make the supports mora
substantial, and never was the skeleton
trestle thought unsafe. Six cars went on the
rails that morning, he said, a total weight
of nearly 1000 0 pounds, with sand.
Albert Alberson said the tTt stle was strorg
enough to sustain a weight twice that
under which it gave way. The piles were
driven IA feet apart.
Patrick Mulvihy said that eight cars were
sent out that morning on the structure. He
| glanced towards the trestle as two cars
pitched headlong from it. He shouted for
the men to run, but the frail skeleton
crashed in before they could do SO. The
posts supporting the trestle had settled, he
said, in their places several times before.
Antonio Splehn, one of the laborers, said,
through interpreter Tony Granelli, that
he was working on the trestle at the time of
the accident. He saved himself by clinging
to a projecting beam. The cars had stood on
the track two minutes before the accident.
Antonio Pachello said he escaped by grab
| bling a tree, after he had cleared the trestle.
Other Italians testified essentially to the
same statements.

TABLE TALK.

Our manners and viands of Equal
Importance to u Guests.
Our manners at the table are quite as inn
portant as the food provided for our guests.
A lady, the word being used advisedly, is
known by her gentle bearing and her con-
sideration of the feelings of others. She is
always a good listener, and never bores her
neighbor with long tales of her own domes-
tic troubles and vexations. 1t is clearly the
duty of a guest to make herself as agreeable
as she can when she is dining with friends.
If she lapses into silence, and gives up to the
mood of the moment, she is likely to become
very stupid. One should be at ones best,
and try to draw out the best in ones neigh
bors. Sometimes it is a very hard matter to
make conversation; but there is no indl-
vidual in the world who annot talk on some
one subject, and by a little effort one may
be able to hit chat subject. Men, as a
rule, like to be listened to,
and a clever woman can easily
draw a man out, so that he thanks his hostess
in his heart for a most delightful evening.
There isn't a man in the world who would
get the slightest atom of amusement or
pleasure from hearing Mrs. A. tell of how
Charlie had the ~whooping cough, and what
a dreadful time she was having with her
cook. He would neither be amused, nor
would he try to conceal his boredom. On the
other hand, a woman srnilingly and SYM
pathetically listens to her %neighbor, who
talks for an hour about horses of which she
knows nothing. He, however, is sublimely
unconscious that she is not more interested
in horsefesh than in anything else in the
world. And so we women would do well to
post ourselves in these various subjects, which
men are prone to discuss, SO that at least we
may know what they are talking about, and
be able to respond with some degree of in
~telligence, if we wish to make ourselves
agreeable in their society.-HdTper's Bazaar.

A CURIOUS ROMANCE
Story of the First European Who
Married a Japanese Girl.

Married a japanese Girl.
At one time if a japanese girl married a
foreigner she was instantly decapitated. A
Portuguese gentleman whom we met in
Yokohama related his experience in this
direction. He went there thirty years ago
and fell in love with a Japanese girl. Her
parents warned her of the fatal consequences
of marrying him. He was young and ardent
and she romantic.
.tIf you agree to marry me I will die with
you,n he said.
: 'tThen 1 will marry you, die or live" the
pretty maiden said.
He was a Catholic, and he had promised
his parents not to marry out of his religion.
evil you join the Church?' he asked.
"Join anything" said she, ''we die to-
gether."
They eloped and visited the nearest priest,
who advised them against their fatal mar
rage, but to no purpose.
'EShe cannot be baptized, confirmed and
married all in the same day" said the priest.
"She must" said the lover.
Il must" said she, "for we both die to-
morrow morning"
The priest waived a few customary rules to
fit the occasion and performed all three cere-
monies at once, and then interceded for the
brides life. The Mikado decided that he
should not behead the Portuguese, but the
girl should die. The priest warned him, say
ing: t'She is now a Portuguese, too, and you
had better postpone the decapitation until
you confer with the Portuguese govern
ment."
Time was granted. The priest persuaded.
The husband pleaded. The Portuguese
Government demanded.
After a correspondence which lasted five
years, and in which the British, American
| and other consuls or representatives took
much interest, the young woman was per-
| mitted to live. Mr.. La Rosa, the happy
husband is now in business, with a family
| surrounding him. He, it is said, is the first
| European Who dared to marry a japanese
| woman.-Chicago Record

PICKED HOUSTON TO PIECES.
seventh Day Adventists FRANKIE Per
formed SoIne Logical Stunts.

DAY A0VenkASt Ffamke FSrs
formed Some Logical Stunts.
Mr.. E. E. FRANKIE, the Seventh Day Adj
ventist preacher, last night took the attack
which Mr.. Houston made on him in Elsey
Chapel on Sunday, and systemat ically picked
it to pieces and held it up to ridicule. He
said on starting that he would make no fur
Their allusion to Mr.. Houston's sightlessness,
and then talked for over an hour and a half
trying to prove that he is spiritually blind
He took up the remark which Mr.. Houston
made, saying:-"I would go to the gates of
hell to meet a man on the truth" THE
proof of the pudding is in the eating" said
Mr.. FRANKIE, land if he is willing to go to the
gates of hell, he is not willing to meet me in
Elsey Chapel, and | a a letter in my pos
session to prove it,"
He said he would pass over Nh. Houston's
remark that he is no gentleman, as he
doesn't care for his opinion anyway.
"He said," continued Mr.. FRANKIE, that
the Ten Commandments are abolished. Ii
the Seventh Commandment is abolished,
what need is there of DR.. Parkhurst's
crusade against the New York houses of i'll
repute? If it is not wrong to commit sin,
why stop it! He said he didn't quote his
tory, and later said that the reason he
quoted it was that l quoted it. We must
have good memories to talk to intelligent
audiences. If there is honesty in his state
ments,y you can have ell the honesty there is
in them"
Mr.. Houston said that if he could not trust
his wife to read to him, he could not trust
Jesus Christ to ave his soul. This, Mr..
FRANKIE said, showed that Mr.. Houston
worships more than one God.
Mr.. Franke's regular congregation were
all that listened to his harangue. Mr..
Houston and his Congregation ignore Mr..
FRANKIE, while the Seventh Day Adventists
are always well represented in the Elsey
Chapel audiences.
