POOR OLD MARIE VERY.
Bas a Mania for Trying to Sell Her
Own Photograph.

Own Photograph.
Poor old Marie livery Everybody who
knows her pities her, in spite of the
fact that she is something of a nuis-
ance, says the San Francisco Call She
has mania for trying to sell her own
photograph. She thinks that every
body wants it and does not hesitate to
they are crazy to possess the picture.
Marie only appears on the Crawl"
during the afternoon, when the crowd
is at its height. She presents a most
grotesque appearance, clad in an old
rose-silk gown that might have been
fashionable a couple of decades ago.
But she is proud of the dress and
thinks it the finest in the city. She
says the silk was woven for her espe-
cially at some of the famous looms in
Europe. Whether Marie is telling the
truth about herself or not is of course
something it might be hard to prove,
but according to her own story she was
once a singer of some reputation in
tSoiopS, ctiliouSh SIt ma llihtS II W
that of the most famous singer in the
world. She has not lost her voice. she
says, but is out of an engagement be-
cause her prices are too high for the
managers to pay in these days of cheap
amusement. 1t is about two years
since Marie first appeared on the
Crawl" and since that time she has
come out with astonishing frequency.
In fine weather not day passes with
out her trying to sell her picture. She
says the people are all her friends and
ought to be glad of the chance to get
such beautiful picture of her at such
a low price. The pictures she carries
are old and faded and must have been
taken years ago. The strange thing is
that she occasionally sells these pic
lures but always has supply of the
faded kind

When the Shoe pluohes.

A would be prominent citizen
hopes there will a reaction set in
against the Layton correspondent
Of the PIKE CoUETY Press. Why?
because he thinks other peoples
business is meddled with too much.
If he will cite one single instance
where a criticism has been aimed at
any one uniustly or without good
ground therefor, then will we pub.
licly apologize, and beg the pardon of
that one. Our criticisms are invari-
ably directed at some patent wrong
doing or fraud, and in the interest
of better morals, and the public vel.

terrent to further Indulgence? If
it does then we have done him his

no stinging sarcasm, or caustic re-

avoid it and we must all expect per-

too hope a reaction will set in, but
we also hope it will be towards more
morality and better practices This
would be better than smuggling
facts to protect those who have no
incentive but to degrade themselves,
and their families You will please
make a note that this is one of the
duties Of a correspondent and with
most of them as with us it is one of
the unpleasant duties that may not
be shirked One can not always
lay on taffy and be truthful, and if
he could it would soon cloy like a
diet of candy or other sweets. We
think you may trust the Press to be
on the right side of such questions
every time, and all the year round.

The past has been a lively week
in town and gayety has had
charming reign, intermingled with
other occasions which have lent
their interest and served to dispel
ennui which might have been loiter-
ing around
The events opened last Friday
night at the Bluff House with "A hop
which was well attended and fully
enjoyed Saturday evening card

House which furnished an evening
of amusement st Patricks church
held a social in Brown Hall Tues
day evening which was largely at
tended and the receipts satisfactory.
Wednesday evening bali was en-
loyed at the Crissman House which
was participated in by the guests
and numbers from the town. No
one who has ever attended an event
at that popular hotel need be told
that everything was just as it should
be for such is always the case, and
this speaks volumes. Thursday
evening a ball at the Jardon House
afforded those present a highly en-
joyable occasion. The host and
hostess are adopts at furnishing en-
tertainment and cannot be sur
passed in that sphere
The fair and festival at tho Pres
byterian Church occupied Thursday
and Friday, which afforded oppor
tunity to dispose of the cumbersome
shekels in a good cause. This Fri
day evening Marie Louise Gumaer,
assisted by Miss Jones, will give an
evening Of song at Brown S Hall
which will please the most fastidious
The former is well known person

have once heaad her splendid voice
will not fail TO attend
Tomorrow evening the Sawkill
House will entertain at ball, and
the time will be far too short for
those who attend The reputation
Of that well known house ensures
all Of pleasure which can be crowded
in few short hours
After such a round of pleasure and
entertainment all will desire to
spend a quiet Sabbath, and the doors
of the churches will be wide open
for admission to the people, and all
will be welcomed to the sanctuaries
