VALENTINE PARTY,
Mrs. Manly Entertatns Her Company
of Frlends Handsomely.

Mrs. Many Entertatn6 Her company
of Friends Handsomely.
Mrs. Clement Manly handsomely en-
tertained about seventy-five friends at
her Valentine party Thursday even
ing at the beautiful residence on Sum-
NIT street.
The event was one of marked pleas
ure. The valentine quotations varied,
ranging from the sublime to the re-
diculous. Several of them we're orig
inal and creditabie.
The first lady's prize was awarded
to Miss Lucretia GOrrell and the second
to Miss Dalsy Brooks. Mr.. Robert
Norfleet was the successful contestant
for the first gentleman's prize, while
Rev. Robert E. Caldwell came in for
the second honor.
In the list of amusements were
some beautiful vocal aud instrumental
music. The Verde Quartette rendered
several pleasing selections, in which
the genial hostess took a prominent
part. Prof. Skilton, of the Academy,
and other musicians. gave the attend
ants some elegant piano music.
Dancing to the good old darkey
plantation music was one Of the at
fractions of the evening. The music
for this part of the program was fur
nished from a violin and banjo.
The floral decorations In the dining
room were exquisite and the refresh
ments served were by no means the
least of the many attractions and
pleasures of the evening.
Mrs. Manly's guests tell THE SENTI
MEL that Ii was an ideal valentine
rarty. Everybody was delighted. One
of the attendants says that the yer.
dict of every happy attendant was
that this was the most brilliant and
charming entertainment yet given In
South Fork township.

be rak-n i'm the South.
Tuesday THE SENTINEL printed a
telegram from Newark, n. j., an
nouncing Chancellor McGill's decision
in the matter of the American Tobac-
co Company. The decision gives to
the complaintants the right to take
the testimony of the growers of Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, and other
Southern States. The complainants
VIII try to show by these witnesses
that by reason of the manufacturers
combining, not only have the growers
been injured, but brokers and dealers
have been forced out OF business.
Fhe testimony will be taken in the
South as soon as an amended answer
is filed.
The testimony will be of similar
nature to that which District AttOrn-
ey Gem, of North Carolina, contem-
plated when he presented his bill Of
complaint against the American To-
oacco Company to Mr.. Olney, Attorney
General of the United States. This
bill of Indictment will be brought be-
fore the grand jury in the Federal
Court at Greensboro, at It's next ses-
sion, which begins April 1st. The
same cause in the Indictment is em-
bodied in the supplemental bill which
will now he flied by the Attorney
General of New Jersey under Chancel-
lor McGill's decision.

A TOBACCO MANUFACTURERS.
p. j. Sorg, the Richest Man in Either
House of Congress.

The richest man in either house OF
Paul Sorg, OF Middleton, O., who rep
resents the third district, which lies
just north of Cincinnati. He is said
to be worth fifteen million dollars, and
to have an income Of more than one
million dollars year, all OF which he
made himself In the manufacture OF
plug tobacco. His parents came oyer
from kuhr Hessein. Germany, half
century ago, and settled in Wheeling,
w. V where he was born shortly
after their arrival, In 1852 they re.
moved to Cincinnati, and all his edu-
cation was obtained at night school
down on the wharves OF the Ohio
river. As soon as he learned his trade
he found himself burdened with the
maintenance OF a large family, for
his father died and he was the oldest
son.
Shortly after the war he dropped his
trade and commenced TO manufacture
plug tobacco on a small scale, which
he found SO profitable that he soon en-
larged his business and removed his
shop to the village Of NJ Middleton, where
he could get cheaper help and lower
rents. There he prospercd, and now
he owns one Of the largest, perhaps
the largest, factories in the world,
employing more than one thousand
men, and turning out several car loads
of tobacco daily, which is shipped TO
all parts of the world.
Last May Mr.. SOrg was elected to
Congress, against his wishes, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of G. w.
Houk, and now enjoys the distinction
of being one OF the two Democratic
representatives from Ohio who sur
viyed the November cyclone.

THE RUBINsTEIN CONCERT.
Attended by a Large and Appreciat
i've Audience.

I've Audience.
A grand success by local talent
Such is the consensus of opinion up
on the Rubinstein Club Concert, at
the Academy Chapel, on the evening
of the 18th.
notwithstanding the falling snow
flakes and the downward tendency of
the temperature, which had turned
its face again to the small figures in
zero's neighborhood, large audience
assent bled to do honor to the ARTISTS
of TIE Rubinstein Club and to aid in
the good cause for which the Concert
was given, viz, the TwinClty Hos
pital Association, and among the at
tendants there was general feeling
of satisfaction that they faced the
unfavorabie weather to secure the
pleasure afforded by the Rubinstein
CLUBS first public entertainment.
The Club which has thus sprung
with one bound into high public favor
is directed by Miss E. l. LInebach, of
Salem, whose repatutiOn as vocalist
is. more than State wide. Miss Line
bach was on the program for only one
selection, but the audience would not
excuse her with this and insisted up
on response to a double encore. 1t is
sufficient to say that Miss Linebach'S
reputation as vocalist was fully Sus-
taIned. Moreover, the creditable and
artistic manner in which the choruSeS,
by SO large d number, were rendered,
gave unmiStakable evidence that she
also Possesses to an eminent degree
the power of impaI ting clearly the
principles of voice culture.
The following was the program Of
the evening:

PICKING UP BENUMBED FISH.
Many Being Gathered Around Ne

Many Being Gathered Around New
River at Go d Profit.
The people around New river are
reaping good profit from the freeze by
picking up the fish which are so
numbed with the cold that they can
be dipped up readily into boats, says
the Newbern Journal. On Tuesday
ffty-nine barrels of these were shipped
to Wilmington, and forty-eight to
Newbern and besides these there was
a pile that looked about like a Car load
on the wharf then.
The fish are of different kinds.
Trout. mullet, rock, herring, ETC., but
trout predominatei because they are
more susceptible to the Influences OF
the cold than the others. They are
now commanding five cents a pound
right at Jacksonville, very good
price, which makes it all the better
| for them that gather them in. 1t is
| said that one boy, about sixteen years
of age, made twenty-four dollars Mon
day by the fish that he himself picked
| up that day. In all all so. 600 fine trout
| are said to have been thus gathered
/ besides other fish.

FUSION COMPLAINT.
Dissatisfaction With the Work OF the
Legislature.

There are complaints by the rank
and file of the fusionists, particularly
the Populists, against the slowness of
work by the Legislature. Hon. Buck
Kitchen is quoted as saying that so
great was this dissatisfaction that if
elections were held now the Democrats
would beat the Fusionists. Butler is
using his power to hold the Republi
cans up to pledges and what are
termed their duties. This some Re
publicaDs chafe under. Butler lays
down the law regarding the per cent.
interest bill, saying that Republicans
and Populists fused against it in the
House; that the Populists "wash their
hands of this iniquity"; that no man
can stand before the people who does
not support this bill, and he has told
the Populists what they must do. The
caucus of Fusionists thereupon de-
cided to support the bill solidly.
The Fusionists want criminal court
circuits in the Piedmont aud Western
counties. They also want to elect a
keeper of the Capitol and State libra

Why is 1t that when a smutty case

itching ears to catch every word that

Park Rapids Wants q Land Office.

Hubbard County Enterprise: 1t is
runored that the land office at st
Cloud may be moved to some point
nearer the settlers than at present.
It is further understood that Brain
erd and Wadena will be candidates
for the location of the Office. Park
Rapids, owing to her location,
should be more eligible for the office
than the others named, as our To-
cation is very near the settlers in the
largest portion of the district. and
can be reached easier than any other
point in the district. Within a few
years hundreds of claims will be
taken up in the north end of our
county and in Cass and Bemidji
counties north OF US, perhaps more
than in all the balance of the dis
trict. Consequently here in Park
Rapids is the proper place for the
land office.

THAT congress has power to regulate
the currency Of the country can hardly
admit Of q doubt, and that judicious
measure to prevent deterioration Of this
currency by a reasonable taxation Of

needed seems equally clear
There were lawyers in congress in
those days, and they did not hesitate to
act on Mr. Lincoln's suggestion. The
supreme court has held the tax on state
bank notes constitutional. But Mr.. John

treasury. from Kentucky. says the tax
is unconstitutional and suggests plan
Of multiplying it until such time as it
can be repealed. As Mr.. Carlisle be-.

it is reasonable to conclude that his
views regarding the constitutionality Of
the tax on state bank notes are a result
Of his state rights theories -lndianapo-
