Mrs. James Blakeney, who has been
with her husband at the hospital in
Portland, returned home last night. She
reports him as getting along slowly, as
could only be expected after undergoing
such an operation. It will be elk weeks
and perhaps longer, before he will be
able to leave the hospital, and it is
feared the leg will be somewhat shorter
than it formerly was. Mrs. Blakeney
says the doctors have NO hopes for the
life of VIM. O'Neal who was taken down
yesterday.
One of the enjoyable events of Christ
mas day in The Dalles to a few of the
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. S.. Fish and
Roger B. Sinnott was the dinner served
that evening at the Umatilla House.
About Z 80 o'clock the merry party were
seated at table in the pleaeantest part
of the dining room, where one of the
best of dinners was served, while all
joined in lively conversation. such as an
occasion of that sort always engendere,
especially where the hosts and hostess
are of such happy dispositions. Having
done justice to the spread, the party ad-
journed to the parlor, where an hour or
more was spent in singing. Altogether
the evening was a very pleasant one.
AS far as can be learned the changes
which are to take place in the railroad
time card on January 1st, will make
little difference in the trains through
The Dalles, except in the arrival of No. 1,
which now Is due here at 3:20 a. m.
This train will reach here about or 80
p. M, which will be much more desir-
able hour for passengers for Portland,
and will, if on time, admit of three
hours stay in the metropolis before the
night train leaves that city, thus giving
that much time in which to transact
business and only cause loss of half
day. Besides, if reports are true con-
corning the changes, we will have
morning and afternoon west-bound pas
senger train.

Fun in TIE Supreme Court.
lFr0m the Chicago Rccord.)

FTom the Chicago Record.)
There is a good deal more fun concealed under
the imposing solemnity Of the Supreme Court
than the public would imagine, and several of
the Justices particularly Justice Brewer and JUS
tioc shiras, are great wits. The jokes they make
and the stories they tell in the consultation room
would make an interesting volume If lis secrets
could be penetrated. But the world only knows
what tIsuspires in the courtroom, and much oi
that is concealed by the rules of etiquette and de
corum. Although the Chief Justice and his asso-
ciatcs unite 10 protect the dignity Of that great
bulwark Of the Constitution, which they rep
resent, there IS often good deal OF suppressed
fun ia their efforts to defend it against ignorant
or irrcvereut attorneys.
They all agree that the most amusing incident
that ever Enlightened the solemnity OF the Supreme
Court chamber occurred several years ago. when
Justice Miller undertook TO arrest the flow OF elO-
quencc Of attorney who was arguing his first
case. an appeal from the Circuit Court of 4
Western State. The young lawyer dcclaiming

A day that was ideal for any form Of
pleasure, fashionable list of patrons
and Datronesses the popularity of the
hosts and the advertised excellence OF
the entertainment kept the grounds and
home of the Chevy Chase Club fun yes
terday afternoon, on the occasion of their
benefit for the families of those who died
on the Maine. Indeed. so crowded was
the place that movement in the rooms of
the club was seriously impeded and it
was only at great danger to dress and
ornament that the promenade arranged
on the lawn continued.
The scene was a brilliant one. The
club house and grounds were decorated
with palms and ferns with an abundance
Of potted flowers. In every conceivable
spot "Old Glory was unfurled TO the
breeze from the old flag pole at the gate
TO that on a tree at the extreme end Of
the golf links. The building was draped
in red white and blue while the interior
and being festooned about the walls.
Considerable color was added TO the
scene by the presence of the boys of the
Marine Corps, in full dress uniform, and
members Of the two military bands which
volunteered their services. The crowd
on the lawn was especially large and the
variety of hueS in the gowns worn made
a pleasing sight.
AS the guests arrived they were taken
in hospitable charge by a reception com
mittee, consisting of Major Denny DR..
Compton and the Messrs. Keller. Marrow,
tfoulke and James and Robert Hayden.
They were then escorted into the build
ing and left to the choice Of remaining
in the dance hall and listening TO an i'm
promptu concert and the music Of the
Marine Band, attending the discussion of
program Of equal worth by the Sixth
Cavalry Band or finding a secluded cor
ner Of the grounds for social purposes
Just before the entertainment was over
the first named organization was pressed
into the service of Torpsichore and an
impromptu dance was given in the hail.
Refreshments, consisting of punch and
sandwiches, were served during the after
noon and aided in making the affair most
pleasant.
From a musical standpoint the enter
tainment has never been surpassed and
rarely equaled in this city The two
bands played alternately and rather diff
ferent styles Of music. The Marine Band
under the direction of William H. SanteI-
mann, made feature Of their lighter Sc
lections. Herbert, Kerker, Rimnf and
De kOven all had numbers. while Sousa's
march movements took up nearly half
the program. The band played under the
dictatorship of its new leader I'm a most
praisewOrthy manner The Sousa Sc
lections were rendered with q swing that
lost nothing By the care in which the
laws Of harmony were observed. Kerk-
ers dainty little compositions were given
with shading generally wholly lacking in
their execution.
The Cavalry Band also won popular APP
proval by their work. Their program was
a mixed one, in which Wagner Schuman
Rousquet and Heneman were next to
Sousa. Kerker, Catln, Puerner. Alkern.
