Enjoyed Themselves.

A "povertie parte" was enjoyed by the
young people of the Memorial Lutheran
Church last evening, and by this means a
neat sum was realized for use in enter
tanning the delegation assigned to that
church during the Christian Erdeavor con-
vention next month. Several determined
"constables' were almost ubiquitous, and
busted themselves arresting persons and
bril- ing them for trial before one of the
Judges" by whom they were invariably
found guilty and sentenced to pay fines
for wearing turn-down collars, pointed
shoes, jeweiry, fans, ear rings, mustaches,
evening dress or for arriving late or early.

Result of the Senate's Action in the
River and HnrbOr Hiil.

Result of the Senate's Action in the
River and HnrbOr Hiil.
AS briefly announced in The Star last
evening, the Senate passed the river and
harbor bill over the Presidents veto by
the overwhelming vote of IS to 5, far more
than the necessary two-thirds. There was
some trouble experienced in securing pairs
for absent friends of the measure because
there were SO few Senators to be found
in favor of the veto. The five votes against
the passage of the bill were cast by Sen
ators Bate, Chiffon, Hill, Smith and Villas
Gratis and four populsts made up the
affirmative side.
This action by the Senate makes the bill
law without further formality beyond
the filing of the official parchment copy
with the Secretary Of State, together with
the certification of the votes Of the two
houses of Congress.
