The Social.

- xx0 sOCxax.
Some over one hundred and fifty
persons attended the birthday social at
the Congregational church last Thurs
day evening, and a real pleasant even
ing was enjoyed by those present.
Those who had the social in charge had
prepared very nice program of songs
and charades to say nothing Of the nice
lunch Of coffee, cake, pine apple sherbet,
etc. The first song was by eight gentle
men: Messrs. Crane, Bartlett, Buck,
Hansen, DR.. Wanner, F. Wanner, King
and Stork, and it received a hearty
encore to which the boys responded by
a solo BY Maynard Crane, the rest join
ing in chorus. The title of the encore
was Three Black Crows" Mrs.
Crane, Mrs. j. N. Brown and Messrs
King and Bartlett sang several quartets
and received encores each time. One

was very ludicrous indeed. The clos
ing piece was an initiation of string
band by the eight gentlemen and was
the best performance of the evening.
The social was very successful. The
following sketches of poetry was found
in their respective silk sacks, which had
been sent out Ly tie ladies for each
party to put penny for each year of
their existance:
Your invitation all in rhyme
Has reached me in the nick of time,
And this will my acceptance show,
For will never fail to 60.
But then, the finance spoils my fun,
Because now am fifty one,
And that you know, is quite too much,
For one to give to l.elp the church.
If you would let us dance and play,
Or, let good Bachus hold his sway,
would not care if it took ''case,"
still would be there in my place.
Aud when the merry bowl went round,
Or we stepped to music sound,
would be as gay as amy one,
Though am now full fifty one.
My little stipend you will find
Accords with your poetic mind.
'ris not as high rs some will run
For am only fifty-one.

evidently be very gay If the occasion
were offered. He Seems to feel some.

Johns poem is short and sweet like a
mules gallop, but as he sent in his mite
the shortness Of his rhyme will be for
given and no offence taken. If the
Courier should ever need a poet we
will give Mr., CHM chance. We have
placed his name in our poets portfolio
for future reference.

Business Improving.

The testimony Of the merchantile
agencies Is that trade is improving all
along the line. The volume of business
transacted this week has been encour-
agingly large. In spite of labor troub-
les and strikes the mills in the large
manufacturing centers of the East are
turning out many goods and running
fuller handed than they have done at
any time during the last time during
the last three years. The clearing
house statement published In this
mornings dispatches give evidence that
business is rapidly improving.
One of the features OF the present
situations is the rapidity with which
English capitalists are gobbing up AM
erican securities. Yesterday saw a
lively session Of the stock exchange in
Wall street The growing sentiment in
favor OF the free coinage of silver does
not appear to give serious alarm to the
gentlemen on the other side of the
sea; they find increasing value in Am
erican bonds. The confession is frank
ly made In the dispatches from New
York that the whole financial situation
is governed by the few wealthy gentle
men who compose the syndicate that
purchased Mr.. Carlisle's last issue of
bonds. That 1t pleases these gentlemen
at this time to grant us a measure of
prosperity Is something for which we
should be grateful.

About Mines.

The Standards Spokane correspond
ent sends interesting news concerning
the progress OF the new mining regions
on Trail Creek. There appears to be
no longer any doubt about the won
derfully rich character of the mines Of
that district. Enough work has al
ready been done to prove the great
value and the permanent character Of
a number Of properties up there. The
rush Of miners and prospectors to that
part Of the country has amounted to
little less than a stampede during the
last three weeks. This newspapers
dispatches convey the intelligence that
many Montana miners are meeting
with good success along Trail Creek,
and that a number of gentlemen living
In Butte and other cities OF this state
are making heavy investments in that
region.
In the Occur d'Alenes the situation
10 deplorable. Nearly all of the big
mines OF that wonderfully rich district
are idle. The other day the good news
was published In the Standard that the
Hunter mine at Mullan had resumed
operations. Within a week the an
nouncement came that owing to labor
troubles. the property was again shut
down for an indefinite period. At
Wardner. as told In today's dispatches,
the great Sullivan and Bunker Hill
properties are sealed as tight as a
drum head. The dispute about wages
continues; the manager Of the mines
offers three dollars a day for miners
and promises to raise the wages as
soon as the products Of the properties
rise to a certain point. This agree
ment is being urged upon the Miners
Union by the business men of Ward
ner. who have been almost ruined by
the long continued suspension of the
mines. The prospects for an anicable
settlement of the whole dispute. I'M

example is in Chester. The April re-
