WHATCOM, March 20.-Nearly forty OF
the friends of Hon. John L. Likens, by in
vitauon Of his mother, gathered at his
home Tuesday evening and treated him 10
a most agreeable social surprise. consrat-
uIating him upon his safe return from the
late sanguinary CONFLICT OF the fusion ele-
ments at Olympia. The evening passed
quickly and Inerrily in the enjoyment OF
music, dancing and refreshments.
An effort is being made TO induce Miss
Marguerite Mckinney. the talented So
prano soloist OF Seattle; Miss Hamilton,
who is considered by competent critics the
finest whistler in the West, and Miss Lii
liam Miller, director OF the Seattle Musical
Club. TO give concert here during Easter
week. A few OF the music-loying people OF
the bay cities may possibly remember that
Miss Mckinney sang here once some years
ago when she was q little girl and before
she had the advantages Of the thorough
training OF the Chicago Conservatory OF
Music. Her singing in the East has since
gained for her most nattering notices from
Chicago, New York and other Eastern pa
pers. Miss Hamilton and Miss Miller have
never appeared IN public here, but there
are many who hope 10 have the pleasure
OF hearing them soon. 1t is probable that
the concert. IL given. VIII be under the aus
pices OF the Library Association.
