M1scHIEvoUs BOYS ARRESTED.
Disfigure Schoolhouse and Dump an
Old Man in a Mudhole.

Two tough little boys are Domingo
and Bernardo Harigoyen, and they are
not improved at all by the fact that
they are allowed to roam the streets at
all hours of the day and night to find op-
portunities for mischief. They live on
Also street. and for some time have
made a nuisance of themselves in the
locality of their residence.
Their latest escapade, which has
brought them to grief, consists in sadly
disfiguring the new school house at the
corner of Turner and Lafayette streets.
In company with a third boy named
George Clark they are accused of throw
ing rocks at the building, breaking win
dows, plastering the structure with gobs
of mud and in general making life bur-
den to the neighborhood. An old man
who attempted to make the boys desist
from their mischievous work was trippel
and sat down in a mud hole, while the
young scamps ran off to look for some
thing else to do.
A warrant was sworn out for their ar
rest. and Domingo was captured yes
terday morning. He was arraigned in
the police court and trial set for January
4th, being released on his own recogni-
zance. At $3.50 last evening Bernardo
was caught and taken to the police sta
tion where he was booked and allowed
20 go home, first promising that he
would surely appear in court today for
arraignment. His case will be tried at
the same time as that of his brother.

EUCHRE PARTY

A very pleasant social and progressive
euchre party was given by Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. H. B. Hayward to their friends at
their home, 1108 West Thirty-third street
Tuesday evening. The house was very
prettily decorated with flowers in pro-
fusion and Japanese lanterns lighted the

ers, Anderson and Doctors Holland and
Spinks. Mines. King. Holland, Modesto
Robertson, Mills, Wright. Salyer and
Simpson, Misses Laramore, Dwire, Dill
lard, Carter, Cherry and Spinks
A remarkable feature of the evenings
entertainment was piano solo and song
given by Mrs Modesto, an old lady sc
years of age. 1t was so much appre-
ciated that she gave the Yankee Doodle
Laughing Song an encore with a vim
and spirit that was wonderful for one
of her age, and caused all of those pres
ent to join in with her.
Mrs. Simpson then rendered a solo In
a very sweet and sympathetic voice,
and Miss Dillard followed by reciting the
negro dialect pieces entitled Ship of
Faith and 'Sposin' the Case.
After this was over all Joined in the
card party, Miss Laramore winning the
first prize for the ladies and DIR. SpiHks
was the successful gentleman. Mrs
Wright and Mr. Simpson were the unfor-
tunates to be presented with the BOBBY
prizes. which were rather novel and Gre
ated much merriment
The evenings entertainment then end
ed with refreshments. and all the guests

white carnations and maidenhair ferns,
while the dining room, where high noon
breakfast was served, was transformed
into fairyland.
Arches of evergreens, hung with
colOred incandescent lights, formed
a canopy over the table. A centerpiece,
composed of pink carnations, maidenhair
ferns and bisque cupids, made the table
look very magnificent while on the north
wall surrounded with palms and ever
greens, an immense star, made of colored
incandescent lights and white bisque
cupid in the center, lent its splendor to
the surrounding scene. The hall was a
mass of papyrus and potted plants and
an orchestra of three pieces was sta
toned here. The children were favore d
greatly by many magnificent presents.
