SCANDINAVIAN SOCIETY
Celebrates Its Tenth Anniversary Pleasant
~ Last Evening.

just 10 years ago last night the Scan
d1navlan Society of Portland was orga-
n1zed with II members. Its growth has
steadily increased till it now numbers
nearly $50 members, with handsome
balance in the treasury. 1t has Edone
a great deal of good and paid out q
large sum of money in sick benefits
Ihe tenth anniversary of the associa-
ton, is of course a notable one, andEwas
celebrated in fine style at Mystic hall
last evening. A better appearing or mer-
rier party than that which gathered there
it would be hard to find. An interest
ing sight was the grand march around
the supper tables of about 100 couples,
headed by two men bearing the American
and Danish flags, to the inspiring
strains of an orchestra. A delicious sup
per. including all the Danish dainties,
was served under the direction OF Thorn
as Thomasen. After the supper the bal
ance of the evening was most pleasantly
spent in games and dancing. The CON-
mittee having the matter in charge were
Christian Petersen, A. Lauritsen, R.
Kjar, G. Petersen, E. johnson.
The officers of the association are;
President-K. Kjar.
Vice President-F Dalpcha.
Secretary-Peter Miller
Treasuerr-L. Peterson.

Station Notes.

Speaking of the fact that. THURSDAY
night sixteen tramps were accommodated
with lodging at the police station, DEPUTY
Marshal Sterling said last evening tina,
the guests at the station are very uncer.
tain in their movements, and come and
go in crowds. For example, there were
sixteen dodgers at the station THURSDAY
night, and up to, midnight not single
application had been made last night
fThey mostly come in after the arrival
of the freight train from Boston, said
the deputy, land it is then sometimes
amusing to hear them. They will come
directly from Boston, and then claim te
be from Lewiston. Sometimes they claim
to live in Saco, or even in Westbrool,
and again they forget the name of the
place they've been told to give Common
y they are from Biddeford and are going
to Lewiston, or from Lewiston and goine
to Biddeford. -
-Four arrests had been made up to mid
night, all simple DRINKS, not one of III,
four having shown the least idea o
making fight.

PoRTLAND's NEW HOTEL.
1t Will Be Ready for Occupancy in Few
weeks-Will Probably Be Called "The
New City"

Portland's new and elegant hotel which
the Rines brothers have been constructing
at the westerly corner of Congress and
Green streets, will be opened and bust
ness commenced in a few weeks.
Everything is now nearly all ready, I"
said Mr.. j. Henry Rines yesterday, land
by spring the hotel will be doing bust
ness.
GAS to who is to conduct the manage
ment of the house, we cannot as yet tell. :"
continued Mr.. Rines "Several parties
are applicants for securing the lease, but
no one has been decided upon. We have
thought number of times that we had
secured the right parties as proprietors.
One time we had all but engaged O COM
petent hotel man to take the manage
ment but satisfactory terms could not be
agreed upon and the matter fell
through"
Mr.. Rines states further that while no
name for the hotel had yet been decided
upon, it was probable that it would be
called the NEW City Hotel,n in view of
the fact that the building stands on the
site where for SO long a term of years was
located the City hotel.

COLD PROOF.
How Tramp Defined the Wind ana
Storm.

Thursday when the storm was at lts
worst, when the driving snow and high
winds made exposure to the elements
something to be dreaded by the strongest
man, Grand Turnk freight conductor
was astonished to find tramp between
Two cars holding fast to the brake rod.
He had wrapped rug around the rod,
but while that held him some the train

admitted that he should try it again. A
close watch was kept on his movements
as long as it could be done, but it is m ore
than probable than when the train start

comfortable as the warmly dressed

THE FIRST sLEIGHlNG.
And the First Trip of the Cape Electrics
From Knightville to Monument Square.

Yesterday dawned bright and clear and
beautiful after the storm. 1t was as per-
feot winter day as one, could wish. II
We get as good one for Christmas it is
all we need ask for.
The old familiar and pleasant labor OF
shovelling paths was in order yesterday
morning and in most places there was at
least six inches of snow to shovel.
People were not slow in getting out the
runners. Sleighs and market teams on
runners were qlite numerous in the city
all day. 1t was good sleighing too in
the city, especially infthose streets where
there are no car tracks. Out in the
country the fierce gale that prevailed
during the fall of snow swept bare the
greater part of the roads
The Cape electrics ran in from knight
vile to the United States hotel for the
first time yesterday. They made no trips
on regular time, but ran back and forth
as fast as they could and carried quite
a good many passengers.
The curve at the foot of Market stree,
was found to work all right at last.

CULBERSON DETERMINED.
Hurts Decision Not Regarded
As At All Final.

Austin, Tex, Sept. 1S.-Gov.
Culberson does not propose to
pay any attention to Judge
Hurts decision in the prize
fight law rendered at Dallas
yesterday. Speaking of the
matter to the Express cores
pondent to night, he expressed
himself as follows:
SIN controverted cases the
constitution contemplates that
the executive shall act upon
the opinion Of the Att,orney
General. The alternative, and
only other binding authority,
is a decision of a court of last
resort. The opinion of a single
judge, especially whereas here
the State has no appeal, though
a member of such court, and
however much respected, whilst
persuasive settles nothing but
the particular case decided
This is obvi lus, because so far
as may be known 2 full bench
might hold differently. This
is the proper way to determine
the matter and thus determin-
ed, the law, whatever it is, will
be enforced as | have stated
from the beginning. In the alb
sehce of a decision OF court
of last resort or a concurrence
of a majority of the judges Of
such court Chat prize fighting
is not illegal, the proposed
prize fight at Dallas shall not
take place if enough men can
be found to execute the law, of
which I have no doubt. My
constitutional duty, with which
only am I concerned, will be
discharged. IF those who are
sponsors for the proposed prize
fight denounced as brutal by
Judge Hurt, are sincere in the
belief that the people of Texas
have not prohibited it by law
they can easily have the ques-
ton determined by one of the
courts of last resort"
