.Ho, for the Kiondlie' u. 4
That alluring cry Will reyerberate
amid a scene OF gaiety and pleasure this
evening, at the Klondlke social given by
the ladies' Improvement society, of st.
Matthew's P. E, church, the gold bear
Ing territory being temporarily located
in the church basement. II tho pure
gold Isn't present, there will be ''some-
thing equally as good"
The ladies' have spared no pains to
make tho affair success. and they
worked hard all Of yesterday In trans
forming the basement into a thing OF
beauty, and q Joy for this evening. 1t
Will be q miniature Klondlke field, with
sundry luxurious Embellishments that
tho richest Klondiker secs only In his
dreams, The decorations are elaborate
and OF striking beauty, the whole be-
Ing appropriate 10 the affair. On tho
sides OF the room are the various
claims" stalsed of by Civil Engineer
Randolph Hix. and fair assistants. In
the center Of the room. almost hidden
by the tall palms. is claim that PROM
ises the proprietor rich strike, and
each patron upon entering the door Is
presented with q tiny spade, tied with q
neat bow OF the Sound money" color.
The word Klondike means plenty Of
fish, and this idea Is carried out in the
frleze OF sea green and Ash on the walls.
The anti-Bryan color Is very much In
evidence. It wraps tho pillars and
forms many graceful festoons, but the
feature Of the decorations Is the display
OF rich Indian tapestry, the property Of
Mr.. o. C. Dewey, and secured by him
on his travels In India. 1t alone Is
worth going TO see. The Arabic charac-
tiers, and the beautiful workmanship,
make the tapestry an attractive feature
OF the Klondike social. y
The promoters are certain to have
their efforts meet with a large slice OF
success. While the affair Is in the ma
ture Of prospecting. with chances OF
getting fabulous wealth, there are
slight chances Of one going broke"
Every purchaser Of q spade Is sure to
get something In his claim, but Jump
ing claim" will be severely punished
in the border fashion. A policeman.
with judge and q court will attend to
such law-breakers.
