ever had" said Captain Wallace yester-
day. "Those little mites must have been
feeding along the shore, and when the fog
fell they got lost and the wind blew them
out to sea. Our binnacle lamp and the
loom of the ship attracted them. and they
swarmed aboard. 1t seems remarka BILE,
however, that humming- bird should be
able to cover eighteen miles without
rest.
"At one time there were twenty of the
little fellows in my room, aud l have four
of them still. If | offered them moist
sugar in my open hand they would not
touch it, but if l put it in my mouth and
held my hand under my chin they would
perch on it and revel in the sweet stuff.
Every one OF the passengers had three or
four of the little fellows and the ships
cat secured one, but the sailors quickly
rescued it. When abreast of Point Reyes
l ran the vessel close lnshore and all the
little beau were set at liberty. All ex-
cept four made for the shore. and in few
minutes were safe on terra firma. The
four in question came back TO my room
after circling around for while and they
are there now. If they are alive when I
go to the ship to-day l will take them out
to the park and set them at liberty"
The little birds are of beautiful green
plumage, while on the throat is small
bunch of feathers that glistens like molten
gold. Their invasion of the Walla Walla
will supply topic of conversation for the
passengers for months to come.

Beautiful Women.

Many unfortunate women arc to-day
humiliated by the presence on the face of
superfiuous hair, moles. warts. wrinkles,
blackheads, PIN Piles, birth marks, freckles,

perience in the art of making women
beautiful DR.. and Mrs. Traverse have es-
tablished their offices and parIors in the

Christ is Risen" A hundred trained
choirs will this morning carol forth the
glad tidings in this city. Their voice
will float out upon n atmosphere redolent
with the fragrant breath OF spring. From
a thousand conservatories, from countless
flower plots, from the sunny slopes of
neighboring hills and from the shady re-
ces ses where grow the delicate ferns and
clim bing vines Flora has been invoked to

with lilies to-day, and. indeed, in the
plenit ude of blossoms which here abound
the more pretentious congregations can
outrival their poorer brethren IN Materially
put in opportunities for display.
In almost every edifice in the City there
were volunteer committees composed
mainly OF ladies who were working ener-
geticaliy and cheerfully in beautifying
their respective places of worship. The
pulpits, altars and ch anceIs, being the
centers of observation. naturally secured
a monopoly of the decorators attention,
and as result almost every minister in
the City will to-day preach from a bower
of beauty. The weather forecaster, who
seems to have a penchant for saying dis
agreeable things, has been unkind enough
To threaten showery day, bat showers or

One of the N Enterprises Will
Erect Its Plant Near til, Ap.

Plans are rapidly m Maturing for the es-
tablshment of two new electric light and
power ompanies in this City to compete
with the recently organized Consolid ated
Gas ami Z ectrc Light Company, which
comprises the Edison Light and Power
Compan ana the San Francisco Gaslight
Company.
A knowledge of this situation has evil
IDENTIFY affected the market value of the
shares of the consolidated company, for
its stock has shown gradual decline for
the past few days.
One of the intending com petitors for the
light and power patronage of the COM
munity was incorporated on Wednesday
under the title of the Bay City Electric
Light and Power Com pany. Its capital
stock is placed st $3.50, 900, and the in cor
porators are Louis de Rome. Henry G..
Knowles, G. w. West, Fred Mueller and
William +. Gibson. f. w. Harris. a
wealthy grocer, is credited with being be-
hind the scheme, and others of means are
also reported to be ready to provide finan.
cial backing for it.
John ID. Spreckels is prominently men,
toned in connection with similar corpora
! tion. He has been taking great interest
in the local light supply situation, as the
Spreckels properties, including the
Emma Spreckels and Spreckels' Market
buildings are large consumers of cleo
tricity, and a still larger customer for this
comm odity Will be the hinge editice, which
is to be the home of THE CALL, now near
ing completion on the southwest corner of
Market and Third streets 1t Is proposed
to organize a company which will have as
a promising nucleus for its business the
patronage OF these properties. San Fran
cisco men have started the project. and
| there is said to be ample local and Eastern
capital back of it.
Another factor that is said to have a.
bearing on the decline of the shares of the
consolidated com pany Is the operation of
the Mutual Electric Company, which has
been in the field for the past few years,
and which has been steadily extending its
business.

jardinieres of st. Joseph lilies and of roses.
The com mittee which had charge of the
decorations here was composed of:
Miss Annie Childs, Mrs. J. Littlefield.
Mrs. j. T. Mcdonald, Miss Louise Hoff-
man, Miss Myrtle Simpson, Miss bessie
Anna Onyon, Louis ]. Harrison.
One of the most striking features of the
decorations at the Central Method ist Epis-
copal Church was a large cross of Gala
lilies, which occupied position on the
pulpit. From the intersection at the pin
nacle of the pipe.organ of two festoons of
white dove was suspended. a bank of
callas extended about the edge of the pull
pit and large clusters of roses were every
where in evidence.
The decorating committee cons sisted of
Miss Laura Morcom. Mis- Francis Joyner,
Miss Lille Morcom, Miss Florence Porter,
E. E Quayle, P. Halls ]. r. Large, Miss
Susie Abbott, Harry Babb.
The decorations at the Grace Episcopal
Church are to some extent traditional.
Each year the scheme of beautifying the
church is somewhat the same, and only
the details are improved upon. The altar
is made beautiful by memorial crosses.
OF these the most striking is the one
which Mrs. Stanford, following her uni
versai custom, has contributed to the
memory OF her husband and son.
1t IS an elaborate affair composed of
pink begonlaS, white illacs and delicate
roses. In the chancel the lines of perma-
nent adornment are followed by columns
of gilly flowers, and the same plan is
partially pursued in the body of the
church. AT the rear is a great rustic cross
bearing wreath ofivy. Lilies and roses
abound within the chanceI.
These are only few OF the many places
Of worship which have been made unusu-
ally attractive for to-day's services. For
the sake of dainty headgear, it is to be
hoped the weather prophet in his rain
talk has made mistake. Such things
have happened, but rain or shine there is
almost certain TO be large Congregation

John Moshik, under indictment for the bru-
tai killing of John Lemke, was taken before
Judge Elliott yesterday in the criminal branch
OF the district court, hand-cuffed to William
cycle stealing. Moshik looked but little con-
cerned in the preliminary proceedings and
conversed continually with his companion.
wnIle the court prepared for the hearing. He
looked like man whom few would care to
meet alone in dark place, forbidding and
square-jawed.
Moshik stood up, some taller than his at
torney, T. A. Clarity. and listened intently
to the reading Of the indictment charging
him with murder in the first degree for the
murder Of John Lemke. With the gallows

said Mr.. Clarity, "and others in jaif are, so

The county attorney asked that the case
be set for Nov. p, and such was the result
but the probability is that it will not be tried
then, but will go over the term.
William Dougherty pleaded not guilty to an
Indictment charging grand larceny in the
second degree for stealing quantity of groc-

FARGO, N. D., Nov. 5.-Taylor Crum,
one of the most noted criminal at
torneys in the Northwest, created quite
a scene this afternoon in the district
court. He had been ordered out Of the
case yesterday by Judge Pollock for
calling a witness on the stand a name,
and was fined IS for contempt. To-
day he appeared in court when the
states attorney was making his ar
gument. He raised objection to GER
tain statements made by the states
attorney, and the court called his at
tention to the order of the preceding
day. Crum urged his objection, where
upon he was ordered from the court
room. In passing before the judges
bench he clinched his fists, saying to
the court: you are a mean, con-
temptible cur, and I will fix you when
you get outside" The court immedi-
ately remanded him to the custody Of
the sheriff and fined him 5000 and i'm
posed a sentence Of thirty days for
contempt. A meeting of the attorneys
of Cass county will be held in the
morning to consider the matter Of dis
barring Crum. 90

WATCH SAVED HIM.
G. C. LaybOurn Had n Narrow Es-
cape From Death.

Charles G. Laybourn, the attorney, has
watch that he will always keep as price
less treasure. for at time when least ex-
pected that watch was all that stood be-
tween him and instant death.
Announcement was made yesterday OF the
accidental shooting of Mr.. Laybourn while
hunting near Bush lake. Yesterday Mr.. Lay
bourn was brought to his home, 3103 Stevens
avenue this city, and the details of the shoot
ing were then learned. Mr.. Laybourn was
hunting for cartridges In company with his
father-in-law, Mr.. Cove, Thursday. Mr.. Cove
raised covey, and Mr.. Laybourn fired ere
shot at them. He either brought some Of the
birds down, or thought that he did. lie was
poking around in the brush with the butt end
of his gun, when the second barrel was ac-
cidentally discharged and at a time when
the muzzle was pointed directly at Mr.. Lay
bourn.
Mr.. Cove heard the second shot, which
seemed out of place to him, and he i'm
mediately went to see what the matter was.
Mr.. Laybourn lay on the ground, seriously
injured, but 1t was found that the main
charge of the shot had struck his watch,
comparatively few stray shot entering the
abdomen. This was what saved Mr.. Lay
bourns life, The watch was badly battered
and broken.
Mr. Laybourn was resting easily at his
home last night and serious complications are
not feared. His brother, Representative Lay
bourn, of Duluth, arrived yesterday afternoon
in response to a telegram.
