The Epiphany party of Calvary Church
was held last night at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs Horace G. Rettew, No. 6l5 West
Fourth street. The many guests spent o
delightful evening, Behind the party is q
pretty little story, coupled with Epiphany
day. The first party was held on the day
In 1880, when Dr. &. W. Dubois was rec.
tor of Calvary Church. The occasion was
80 enjoyable that, SO surely as Epiphany
day recurs, the party Is held by the par
ishoners The enjoyable event has taken
place consecutively since Its inception by
DIR, Dubois.
There is another pleasant incident cop.
neoted with the gathering. Each year IN
Immense Epiphany cake Is cut. Snugly
hidden In its delicious interior has been
placed gold ring, an engagement ring,
himble aud other articles The person so
,ortunate as to secure the gold ring In
portion Of the cake wears 1t for the year,
when it Is placed in another cake to be
ought again.
In addition to charming social, fine
musical and literary program was given

EXECUTION OF DURRANT.
The Murderer of Two Girls In Sanirancisco

Durrant, who murdered Blanche La
mont and Minnie Williams in u church In
San Francisco, in '95, was hung to-day for
the crime of which he was convicted after
one of the sensational trials In history.
He protested his Innocence to tho last but
after having been respited five times, he
failed to escape tho suffering which should
await all such monsters. Tho father of the
condemned murderer asked that after the
execution tho body Of his son be put at
once in a coffin without autopsy or in
quest, and that the black cap be not re-
moved, so that no one would be permitted
t. zee his sons face after death He also
asked that the rope DO burned, SO that 1t
could net be cut up and bits distributed as
souvenirs.
Owing to the fact that some Of the
cemetery associations refuse TO receive
young Durrant's body on account OF tho
notoricty that would result, the elder Dur
rant threatens to bury the body under the
broad waters Of tho Pacific ocean. Friends
are trying to induce the parents to have
the body cremated.
The condemned man received spiritual
consolation from Rev. William RAIDER q
Congregational minister Of San Francisco.
Prison Chaplain brahms also called and
Rev. MIR. Logan. OF San Rafael, who has
frequently visited DurrHnt, said farewell
during the III ornng.
The case was given to the jury Nov. !,
1896, seven months after the discovery Of
the murder, and although the evidence
was circumstantial the jury was out but
five minutes.
Durrant was only tried on the charge Of
numbering Blanche Lamont, but the other
case against him was equally strong.

Nervous dyspeptics often do not havo
