MYRTLE BOAT CLUB.
Enjoyable House Warming at the
New Boat House Last Night.

One of the social events of the season
was house warming and hop of the
Myrtle Boat Club last night. The affair
was a great success from beginning to
end. The new lanai of the club has
just been finished and very pretty
scene it was as one approached on the
walk; all blaze of light with Chinese
lanterns and electric lights which have
just been placed in the house.
The verandas and lanai were also
tastefully draped with bunting and
flags. The floor in both the lanai and
the main room were all that one could
ask for in dancing. Many consider it
to be the best dancing floor in the city.
The lanai stood the strain of the
many who were present and reflects
great credit on Dali & Co. who built
it. The music was furnished by a
quintette of Hawaiians. A great many
who did not care to dance enjoyed sit
ting on the cool verandas and watch
ing the others.

Our esteemed Hilo contemporary

weighty matter on what the other pa

build up industries, etc. 1t is vey in

A Hot Bath


In this climate does one

oughly than a cold water

aids digestion, and cools one
off by contrast. We have

The fact should not go without
some mention that the convention saw
fit to bestow upon Col. John r. Web
ster the honor of the highest vote for
the position of delegate-at-large to
Chicago. This was an honor worthily
bestowed. Col Webster has been in
the very picket-line of the silver adj
vance. He has stood alone as vidette
on the outposts,when the air was keen
with the frost that was being given to
silver men everywhere, when man
had to blow his breath on his hands
to keep from freezing.
Such a man comes fifty to this re-
ward of his peoples recognition.
He has sought no honor, rejoicing
as much as any man at the nomina-
ton of W. w. Kitchin for Congress,
his own name having been used
against his will and Judgment, and
the people who know him rejoice now
in having their fight partly in his
hands-hands at once strong, sincere
and clean.

"U. S. Grant Circle No. l, Ladies

of Washington, ID. C., have protested
to the District Commissioners, to all
parents and to all loyal, liberty-loving
citizens against the participation of
the High Schol Cadets in the Reunion
of the Confederate Veterans at Rich
mond on the ground that such par
ticipation cannot be viewed in any
other light than as condonance OF

The boys vii no doubt take a day
off and go, any way. If they don't the
Reunion will be held without them,
provided they don't get in on time to
join the procession. Meantime the
Ladies' should tone themselves
down with celery pills or per

The Norfolk Landmark seems dis
turbed because as long ago as 1855
Mr.. Boies was elected member of the
New York Legislature as a Republi-
can, and served one term. The next
thing, the Landmark will be, laying
down a qualification for the presidency
that a mans father even shall have
never been Republican. Weeping
over the Republicanism of Boies of
forty years ago is like weeping with
Mark Twain over Adam. Brace up
and take fresh hold, Mr.. Landmark.
Charles Broadway Rouss, the chief
contributor and chief spirit in the
Southern Battle Abbey movement,
offers $1,000000 to the person who re-

opinion from Atlanta's distinguished

is painful to think of the despair and
agony of the man who is led to make
such an offer. In his affliction,
which blinds him to his gift of love to
the South, he will atleasthaye the com
fort of the deep sympathy of all it's
people.

Novel Plan of the Survivors of Chicago's
Great Holocaust.

Chicagoans of 1s7l-.the men who saw
the best portion of the city laid waste on
that terrible day In October-are planning
a unique celebration of the quarter centen-
NAL of the great fire. Those who were resi-
dents of the city in that year and on that
day intend to found museum that will
be reminder OF Chicago's destruction
to those who watched the flames now
down everything bofor them. The name
they have selected for this novel institu-
tion is the Museum of the Great Fire.
A meeting of the men who passed
through the stirring scenes of that saw
agery of the flames was held in the Palmer
House on the evening OF the anniversary
of tho fire, Oct.-9
The location of the new museum has not
been decided on, but it is hoped TO secure
a site near the center of the city and there
erect suitable flreproof building after tho
style of tho new home of the Chicago His
torical society.
In this museum will be collected all sorts
OF relics of the fire, to furnish To Chicago
people Of today and the future an everpres-
ent picture Of the old Chicago as 1t looked
before and during tho time IL was laid
waste by the flames. Photographs and en-
cipal buildings of tho western metropolis
of 1871 and describing the progress of the
terrible conaagration. A fire roll Is also
planned, on which will bo recorded tne
citizens who lived in tho burned tract over
which the voracious flames swept.
Survivors of the fire declare that now Is
the time 70 establish such museum. To-
day there are thousands Of mon and wom-
ELI alive in Chicago who were In the city
on the night of oct ., 1871. With the
help and cooperation Of these eyewitncsscs
an elaborate and complete museum Of pic
lures and records can bo gathered together.
A genuine and successful museum of tho
fire can be established, such as is not pos
sessed by Boston or any other city that has
been partly reduced to ashes.
Relics and memcntos can be secured
easily 10y the new museum. Hundreds OF
these curiosities now decorate the parlors
OF the older Chicago folk, which In few
years will become scattered and lost. AL
ready quarter OF a century has elapsed,
and each year sees tho ranks of the surviy-
ors grow thinner. The day Is not far away
when all chance OF cquipping n museum
with valuable relics Of tho great fire will
have passed. Chicago Times Herald.
