PASTOR REMEMBERED.
Members of Free Baptist Church Give Re-
ception to MIR. and Mrs. Cate.

The vestry of the First Free Baptist

memb ers OF the parish and friends, gath
cred in response to the Invitation or the
Ladies' Aid connected with the church
to attend reception to the popular pas
tor Rev. Carter E. Cate and his es-
tiinable wife. The vestry was prettily
decorated for the occasion with silver
paper and flowers. Mr. and Mrs. Gate
stood on the platform with Mr.. and Mrs.
George 81. Owen, who assisted them in
receiving the guests who were presente
to them by the ushers, Mr.. and Mrs o
W. Fullam and Mr.. and Mrs. Thoma.
Jordan. During the evening refresh
ments were served to all who were pres
ent. The arrangement of the different
tables was very pretty. On each side of
the stage was long table, at one end of
which coffee was served, while at the
other there was chocolate urn. The
table on the right of the.stage was in yell
low and that on the other side was in
violet. At the back of the vestry was
large table decorated with flowers at
which lemonade was served
The ladies who had charge of the
different table were as follows Pink
table, Mrs N. M. Marshall, Mr.. N. W.
Litohfeld, assisted by Misses Florence
Greeley. Abby Shaw, Annie Libby, Alb
bic Horrie. Yellow table, Mrs. Charles
F. Tobie, Mrs. E. J. Stevens, assisted by
Misses Folkins, Lizzie Coffin and Brad
bury. Lemonade table, Mrs. John Mer-
ryman, assisted by Miss Lizzie Ageson
and Miss Mabel Skillings.
AT about o'clocksthere came pause
in the hum of conversation, and then
Lindley M. Webb, ESQ.,, stepped forward
and in brief speech presented to the as
tonished pastor and his equally aston
ished wife several handsome articles of
household furniture which hadsheen on
the stage near them all the evening, but
which they did connect with themselves
in the least. They were two handsome
easy chairs, an elegant banquet lamp and
a fine mahogany table. When Mr.. Webb
finished and Mr.. Cate had returned
thanks, theirs came another surprise, when
Mr.. Wallace Mcdonald in behalf Of Mr.
o. W. bullam's Sunday school class.
stepped forward and and gave the pastor
a beautiful potted hydrangea. Nor was
that all. MIR. and Mrs. Eben N Perry
in their own behalf gave Mrs. Cate
beautiful bouquet of cut flowers. Mr.
Cate was we'll nigh overcome by the
multiplicity of presents, but managed to
gracefully return thanks for them ALL

AT THE STATION.

A Man Who Asked a Personal Question,
Another Who Wanted His Razor, A
Third Who Chung to Fishing Rod and
a Tramp Who Wanted Matches.
Last evening man was found in
the Grand Trunk yard, badly intoxicated
and bleeding from wound in the face.
he was taken to the station where he
begged that he might be allowed to keep
and he was locked up The wound on
his face will be apt to leave bad Fsoar,
and was probably received while he was
tumbling about she Grand Trunk yard.
A foreigner, apparently an Italian,
went to a restaurant near the Grand
Trunk last evening and ordered supper.
He was anything but sober, and before
the meal was served, he forgot that he
ordered it, ana when ID was placed before
him he declined to settle the bill. The
proprietor tried TO restrain hi 10, but he
went out despite all he could do.
He had nice fishing rod with him
and chung to it like death to departed
1aIIiOtthJ bllu LII uCl w LIS ulSRuSU ID Was
broken by the restaurant man while
trying to prevent his leaving the shop.
AT the station he still chung to his rod,
and to a firm conviction that he didn't
order supper, and if he did he would pay
the bill.
"Do you think Pm drunkp' was a
personal question put by the inmate of
one of the cells, but nobody seemed to
want to express an opinion on the sub
ject. He might have been drinking or
might have been making a profound
study of the silver question. Anyway
he was carried up on the floor with one
foot on the bench and with his head in
line with the door.
-Four tramps called at the station and
were given crackers. water and chance
to sleep. A gentle hint was dropped that
some tobacco would be acceptable, but
they were re minded of the historic re-
mark of Mayor Butler: sThe City of
Portland don't smoke.'
