River, who is more competent than Mr.

and amusement, feel it
to be matter of deep congratuiation,
and also that music, the beloved mis-
tress of their hearts, is taking deeper
hold on the minds Of the populace in
her truest character, and that in time,
if cultivation continues to make the
rapid strides it has of late, she may
stand revealed in all her glorious beau
ty as she did to the masters in the old
world, now passed away, whose inspi-
tions are to US a guide, and whose
methods We strive to emulate in our
poor efforts at advancement, against
the many difficulties that have hitherto

EVERY LITTLE HELPS.
Prospect of Our Orphan Asylums
Getting Some Aid.

1t looks as if the orphanages of this
city may receive something from the
estate of man named James Questin,
who died recently in San Mateo County,
leaving an estate valued at upward of
500. 000
After bequeathing about one-third of
the estate to various parties he pro
vided in his will that the remainder
should be divided among the orphan
asylums, homes, ETC., Of the State.
AS these institutions are very numer-
Gus, the sum that each will receive will
necessarily be small.

THURSDAY. JUNE 10. 1897.
This paper is Democratic in principles
and Is Independent in its riews on al local
questions.


At a meeting of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in Chicago, yester-
day, Vice President Carrot A. Hobart,
in his capacity as Arbitrator of the Joint
Traffic Association, was accused of fla
grant violation of the Federal Anti
Pooling law. The aceuser was J.. L.
Clark. General Western Freight Agent
OF the Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern Railroad. j. F. Goddard and E. H.
Leonard, the other Arbitrators of the
Association, were jointly accused with
Mr.. Hobart.
The charge is based on the award"
of business by the Arbitrator to the
various roads. This is alleged to be in
violation of the Interstate Commerce
law, and the rules of the Joint Traffic
Association are said to be still in opera
ton in spite of the recent decision of
the Supreme Court which makes them
Invalid
OF course there will be no great sur
prise at these revelations. Mr.. Ho-
bart's connection with the big railroad
pool is not a secret. The conflict be-
tween the operations of the organization
and the Interstate Commerce law is also
a matter of notoriety. It is a case of
the public be damned.
The facts were lost sight of in the
recent Presidential contest because the
more important matter of the national
credit completely overshadowed them.
But the publicity now attracted to the
case shows what splendid campaign ma
terial would nave been available for the
Democracy if the madness of the party
misleaders had not swamped all other
consideration with the one overwhelm-
ing issue.

LADIES' CATHOLIC CIRCLE.
Strawberries. Craa and Dancing In
ST. Esridgetss Hall.


h annual strawberry festival and
dance of the Ladies' Catholic Circle con-
nected with st. Bridgetss Church was held
last evening in st. Bridget.s son
Mercer street. The festival and dance ;s
for the benefit of the circle and the ladies
also give a portion of the receipts to the
church. The main floor of the hall is de-
voted to a theatre and a good sized stage
is erected in it. It was on that floor the
ladies rave their entertainment
h decorations were very fine ana the
front of the stage at the rear of the hall
was one vast bower OF plants, which hid
from view the tables which were placed
on the spacious stage for those wishing
to partake of the refreshments. The
tabIes were handsomely decorated and
upon each of the ten tables a large piano
lamp was set, each wearing a different
shade. The effect was very pretty. The
ladies' of the circle all wore small white
aprons and every one of them was kent
busy serving the berries and cream. The
younger members of the circle could not
resist the strains of Holden's orchestra
and were often seen upon the floor en-
joying the dane music.
The affair was certainly a great success
as there were fully two hundred people
present and the circle viii be greatly
benefited by last evenings receipts. This
circles progress is due to the efforts of
its members.
The officers of the circle are:-Mrs.
Gossenberg, President; Mrs. Mccormack
