But the affair was most elegant and
exclusive, and there was nothing that
could possibly shock Dorothea Tarl-
ton, who was picture in her pink silk
gown and wide, plumed hat.
Constance had told Dolly Erskine of
the girls request, and Dolly had cried
enthusiastically: "Oh, why didn't you
have her? She would have been such
an effective novelty!' But Dollie took
easy, artistic views of society; the
question was what would Doro:Lea
Tarlton have thought? AS the lunch
con guests were dispensing they dis
covered that the sky had suddenly
darkened; it was not the fog that had
been lurking for week off 'Shaloo,"
as the old fishermen called Bay Cha
leur, but a sudden squall, mighty,
rushing wind, that tore up the earth
and trees and churned the black ex-
panse of water into white foam. There
was a weird light over everything;
familiar Paradise street looked like an
unknown land, and the Hedgehog
Stands stood out like square granite
monuments against q yellow, brassy
horizon. There was strange, sullen
roar that grew constantly louder.
"Oh, those boys!' cried Constance,
in dismay; and the other girls echoed
| the exclamation, their faces pale with
| fright.
1t was an anxious afternoon; the
harbor was full of vessels, small ar {
great, whose navigators had seen the
danger in time to reach the place of
safety; but night fell and there was no
trace of the little Midget. A steam
launch was sent out, and innumerable
small boats went in search of the miss
ing party, while the boys distracted
friends formed a patrol on shore,
straining their eyes, with heartsicken-
ing dread for what the sea might give
up. 1t was not until the next morning
that the Midget came into harbor,
towed by the United States survey
steamer, whose officers were loud in
praise of the skill and bravery of the
young captain which had saved his
passengers lives 10 Dilsey was the
hero of the hour.

Among recent desirable additions to
Lincoln's population are Col. John ID.
Fredd and his son, William E. Fredd.
These gentlemen have lived for years in
the south and come to this city from
Iowa, to embark in extensive business
enterprises. Col. Fredd and son are
making their home at the Lindell Hotel.
The latter has pronounced musical
tastes and will no doubt be welcomed
by Lincoln young people.

SOCIAL GOSSIP.
ssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Seward T. st. John, of Juniata,
whose presence in Lincoln a couple
of weeks ago was noted in
The COURIER, always had a bent
toward theatricals. While resident of
this city he was reguler theatre
habitue, and his friends in society in
Lincoln and Omaha remember his
interest in amateur theatricals. Mr.. ST.
John was a member q the Tuesday
Evening club that f,ourished in Lincoln
for couple Of seasons. and he took a
leading part in the dramatic entertain
ments OF the club. He also appeared in
one or two performances given by
society people in the local theatres. 1t
will not therefore, be surprise to his
friends to learn that he has finally gone
into the theatrical business. Mr.. ST.
John gave up his position here couple
of years ago on account Of ill health,
and went out to his fathers farm where
he has since remained. He is now him
self again. Ed Church, owner OF the
Griffith Faust company made MIR. st.
John an offer to become treasurer and
general financial agent Of the company.
The proposition was accepted and Mr..
st. John will arrive in the city in few
days and will go out with the company
in September.
In the glittering People You Know
department in the more or less esteemed
Journal there appeared the other day
an extended mention of a person whom
l venture to say the great majority OF
the Journals readers do not know,
unless it be fact that the Journals
readers are resident in or are familiar
with the portion of the city known
vaguely as the reservation and that
is hardly possible. Chronicling the
doings OF a member of the half world
under the caption People You Know
is at once an insult to the considerable
number of reputable people who read
the Journal, and an offense against that
sense of propriety which should have
some restraining influence, even in a
daily newspaper office.
The number of clubs, and their in.
evitable rivalry, will make Lincoln
society lively this winter if nothing
more. With faulty that is never
graduated into knowledge by exper-
fence and kindness each club claims
to be "the most select whatever
that means. Such clai m
can never be established by any
club because no one but its own
members believe it. And what

Some extensive improvements are to
be made by the management OF Beck S
Hot Springs and when they are COM
pleted the resort will be second to none
in point of number or novelty of its
attractions. The latest change to be
made is the conveying Of a heavy flow
of cold mountain water from the
plateau above to the springs, for the
purpose of affording the necessary
water in the bath rooms and use in
the ornamentation of the grounds of
the resort.
A carload OF three inch iron piping
was yesterday afternoon received at
the springs for use in the construction
of the new pipe line and it was an
nounced that work on the improvem lent
would commence at once. Some 1000
feet of pipe will be required in the sys-
tenn. 1t is the intention of the com
pany to greatly improve the surround
ings of the springs and the grounds

Nothing has recently been heard
from the promoter who left for the
east some months ago for the purpose
of interesting some idle capital in the
springs and it is more than likely that
nothing will come OF the enterprise.
Be that as it may, however. the pres
ent owners of the springs are not
worrying at all, but on the other hand
are preparing to make heavy expendi-
lures in the identifying and improve
ment of the resort. 1t is now a matter
of no Importance whether or not the

INSANE ASYLUM AFFAIRS.
Contracts Awarded for the Next Six
Months Supplies.

Judge L. W. Shurtliff, of ogden, was
in the city yesterday afternoon for a
short period on his return from Provo,
where he had been for the purpose of
attending a meeting of the board of
directors of the insane asylum, held
yesterday morning. At the meeting the
semi-annual supply contracts were let,
Utah county people in every instance
being the successful bidders. These
contracts provide for the delivery as
desired of provisions and other neces-
sites to the asylum during the next
six months.
An examination of the institution
showed that everything is in the very
best of condition, but there are still
remaining number of patients who
can not be strictly classed among
the insane. These must be given care
by the various counties from which
they were sent, and the board decided
to make another call for their remov-
al. The presence of these unfortuna ties,
who are not subjects for the asylum,
reduces the percentage of cures eff
fected by the institution very material
ly, in addition to making the cost of
maintenance greater than the appro-
priations made by the legislature will
permit.

How DelinGuents May Escape In
come Tax Law Penalties.
There are but two excuses which will
relieve those people or corporations
who did not comply with the provis-
ions of the income tax law in making
returns of revenues and those are sick
ness and absence from the territory.
The demands sent out some days ago
by Collector Chase are already having
their effect, and the delinquents are
pouring in their tales of WOO either
orally or in writing. According to the
books of the local revenue department,
quite a number OF prospective tax
payers did not make their returns. and
these will be required TO present them
selves, either in person or by accred-
tied representatives and make expla-
nation of the cause of their failure TO
abide by the provisions of the law.

reports be sent in to the Washington
offices of the department by the 18th
of the month but it is hardly probable
that the last will leave this city by
