A Surprise Party.

The home of Mr., and Mrs. John Bum, of
West Lloyd street, was the scene of very
happy event last evening when many friends
Of their daughter Miss Matte Price, gathered
to celebrate her twentieth birthday The
evening was very pleasantly spent with
music, interspersed with social games and
recitations. At 11:3O o'clock Mr. Bum in
yited the guests to the dining room where re-
refreshments were served. When all had re-
turned to the parlor Mr.. l. Grihiths, in be-
half of the friends assembled, in a very neat
and appropriate speech, presented Miss Price
with a handsome toilet and manicure set.
Miss Price was very much affected by their
kindness in few words tried to show her ap-
probation of the gift. Those present were:
Misses Mary and Matte Grifiiths, Annie,
Nellie and Hannah Davies, Mary Morgan,
Kate Lewis, Mary Jones, Mary Broom, Lizzie
Kennard, Lydia Jenkins, Gilmore Bum,
Messrs Wesley Broom, William Edwards,
John Draper, Isaac Griffiths, John Charles,
William Pillinger Martin Bilinger, William
Jarvis John Price and Mr.. and Mrs Bum of
town, Miss Sallie and John Botham, of
Blackwood, and Miss Carrie Billinger, of
Reading. When the guests left for their
homes they wished Miss Price many Happy
returns Of the Day"

cases, incontestable evidence I know as
q fact that injured citizens whose interests
are represented by claims, have supposed
that Mr.. Olney was doing verything in
his power to secure an indemnity for their
losses. The truth is that, with unimpor-
tant EXCEPTIONS Mr. Olney has simply
notified the Spanish government that such
claims have been filed at Washington
But his view is that Spain cannot be held
responsible for property destroyed by the
insurgent armies
''In other words, Cleveland's admins
tration declines to recognize the independ-
ence of the Cuban government or the bel
ligerency of its arms, and at the same time
calmly absolves Spain from all response
bility for the protection of American prop
erty in the island.
There is spectacle for the ediflcatiou
of the American people. The Spanish
press and public laugh and sneer at CON
gress and eulogize the president and the
secretary of state who plot secretly with
the Spanish minister at Washington
against the brave people struggling for
their liberty almost within sight of the
american coast.
Minister Taylor plays no part in the
main diplomatic transactions of the two
governments. De LONE has fooled every
body in Washington, and is playing for
delay. At this moment the purpose of
Spain seems to be TO arrange some agree
ment with Cleveland and Olney which
will commit AIoKinley's administration
in advance to an attitude hostile to Cuba. -
MIR. Creelman then refers to "the mock
scheme of reform" promised by Spain, and
in conclusion declares that recognition OF
Cuba by this country would speedily end
the struggle in favor Of Cuba

Between three and four hundred people
took part in the target shooting contest on
Baird's field yesterday for which Bob Smith s
black bear was offered as the prize The
shooting continued all day until dusk, when
the winner was announced as w. J. Watkins,
of the HERALD. Had the prize been goat
it would perhaps have been reserved by the
winner as receptacle for rejected manu-
scripts, but being bear, it was returned to
Mr.. Smith for $50. Smith has certainly
found a good investment in bruin. 1t is
estimated that between $75 and 800 was
made on the match yesterday and about $50
on Thanksgiving day. The winner of yes
terday's match did not participate in it per-
sonally, but through substitute, a young
man named Heber Smith, who made the
winning score on tie by planting shot
directly in the center of the target.
