Enjoyable Evening at the 0rganiza.
tons Pretty Rooms.


The opening party Of the season
was the reception Of the Olympic club
last Tuesday at which about forty
couples were present. The evening
was most enjoyably spent, cards,
billiards and dancing being the par.
ticular features. MIR. Greenleaf, the
impersonator, favored eguests with
selections from his repertoire which
were much appreciated. Pleiser's or
chestra furnished music for the dane.
ing.
The managers Of the club, Messrs.
j. E. Johntz. Paul Hurd, W. A. Mat.
teson and E. H. Forney, are to be con-
graduated upon the improvement re-
Gently made in the club rooms. The
billiard room, parlor and ball room
have been handsomely repapered,
new furniture and decorations have
been put in and in these, with the
ample dressing rooms, the club has by
far the finest suite Of rooms for its
own enjoyment and for social func-
lions that the city has ever seen. 1t
is probable that series offortnightly
dances under the auspices Of the club
will be part Of the social life Of the
city this winter.

Mr. Sidney ). Rider is one OF the keen

the thoughtful consideration of his fellow

ing medicine contrary to the law of the
state:
The trials Of Christian Scientists for

fore Judge Swcetland took place on
Friday, Dec. 3. and tine Journal presented
"a report from which we have taken the
''fncts' herein discussed. Mr.. Everett
Hall, police messenger in the disguise

Walter T. Mylod and represented that
he had malaria, " 'the defendant shaded
MS eyes and sat still for 10 minutes" -
the witness paid 81 The second witness,
Vaughan. was also policeman in the
Utsgpise of "A citizen; he told Mylod that
"he had the shivers. and he called again
ana told the defendant that he had had
more shivers. then. undsr examination
'he admitted tnat no did not tave
shivers, but was sent there by Detective
Parker" =" lhiS WAS all the testimony
There Il positively no evidence OF the
practicing of medicine, neither of thu
witnesses was actullly sick. Vaughan
swesrs that when telling Mylod that he
had shivers he had no snivcrs. Hall did
not show that when he told Myiod that
be had malaria that he actually was sick
from that or any other disease Falsehood
was at the base of tho actions OF both
policemen; certainly for inen so situate d
