FRATERNAL SOCIETIES.

The social held Tuesday evening by
Salt Lake Forum No. COS was an I'M
qualified success, progressive high
five" being the order of the evening,
concluding with refreshments. The en-
tertainment committee. composed of
Companions Mrs. Watrous, Mrs. Camp
bell, Mrs. Lawrence, Mr.. Farley and
Mr.. Wallace, was as busy as bees all
evening. A large measure of the sue
cess OF the entertainment was due TO
the interchangeable efforts of the ladies.
1t was near midnight before all of the
party departed for home, everybody
expressing themselves as having had a
most enjoyable time.
This forum meets for business on
Tuesday evening next, Dec %. at S
O'clock, at which time the nomination
and election of officers for the ensuing
term will take place.
1t is hoped that there will be a
large attendance, in order that the best
material may be selected to Gil the
chairs, that the next term may be more
successful than the present one.
1t is gratifying to look back upon the
labors of the past year, which have
been more or less successful, owing Ia
the fact that the officers have been
united with the president in carrying
o
ing a spirit of harmony and union
which is characteristic now of his To-
rum. And may the good work of good
fellowship and good feeling, so auspi-
ciously begun, be continued during the
year 1899, that confidence and loyalty
to the H. L. B. o. may be permanently
established in the heart of every COM
panion, for it is a noble work they are
engaged in-the protection of the home
and all that it implies.

an open meeting at their rooms il

a large attendance enjoyed his remarks
on 'Woodcraft.' The lecture OF
Brother Kennedy bore good fruit, as
thirty new applications were handed tC

the ring tonight upon my return to the
city
THAT was a star play. The reporter
from San Francisco knew Lucky S
weakness when it came to tlhe question
of the running of horses. Moreover, his
makeup was great, and he had a very
persuasive con manner. Lucky sized
him up carefully, chewing on his fire

. Do you think Baldwin's got such a
cinch with his horse? Lucky asked af-
ter a minutes pause.
/" 'Baldwin's horse Will walk in said
the newspaper man.
LUCKY CLEARED So, Geo.
Lucky reached into his trousers
pocket, dug out a big wad of hundreds,
peeled two of them off, and handed
them to the newspaper man, taking the
ring in return without more than glanc-
ing at the bit of jewelry. The newspa-
per man thanked him profusely and
returned in triumph to the racing re-
porter, who saw the whole thing. The
racing reporter, with a Woe-begone
countenance, handed out the rs he had
lost. Baldwin walked over to the book
les as soon as; he had delivered up the
5000 in exchange for the phony ring and
in five minutes he had spread enough
money around on his horse to win the
race to knock the price down to 5 to l.
A lot of big bettors noted this and, sus-
pecting there was something doing on
Baldwins horse, plunged on the nag
themselves, and the horse went to the
post second choice on the race. Bald

six lengths and Lucky cleaned up S12,

Directly after the race, the two
newspap er men hunted up Lucky in or
der to return the 5000 and make an ex-
PLANTATION. The newspaper man who had
made the touch told the story to Lucky
and the latter grinned good naturediy
Here's your $780, said the newspa-
per man, handing over the bills. III

Baldwin handed him back the ring
grinning.
You can keep the $780, he said

Welch was ahead on the winnings. The
colonel looked over his cards and
opened the pot for 81 900. Welcn

Without raising his head the colonel
raised back $4,000, and Welch saw it,

PATH AND HER LOVES.
At So This Wonderful Woman Is to
Take a Third Mate.
(NeW York Sum

That wonderful woman Patti must
have found the long-sought fountain Of
youth. At Sc she is still fresh and at
tractive, her voice is clear and sound,
and-most strange of alI--the diva Is
in love again. Patti, it appears, has de-
cided to celebrate her fifty-siXth year,
and also the year of the fOrtieth ami
versary of her debut, by marrying. She
has said yes to the offer of q Swed-
ish baron, so it is said, and has set the
wedding for next February. 1t may be,
however, according to another account,
that she will anticipate the happy day
by marrying about Christmas time. The
story runs that she met Baron Ceder-
strom at Pau last year, where, too, she
met Joceyln Persse, an Irishman, to
whom she was reported a few weeks
ago to be engaged. The baron is de-
scribed as about 50 years old, of COM
manding figure and fine appearance. OF
course, he has a musical education, and
he possesses a fine baritone voice. He
has a small fortune, but Patti has far
bigger one He was entertained by
Patti at her Welsh castle, Craig-y-Nos,
last summer.
This will be the third marriage of Ad-
elina Maria Clorinda Patti, her last
u,
last January. A year or two after her
debut, in 1859, she was engaged to the
late Max Strakosch, but this affair did
not last long.
The diva, then riding on the top crest
of success, seems to have passed the
next few years fancy free. About 1868
or 1867 she met NJ. Louis Sebastian
Henri de Roger de Cahuzac, marquis
de Caux, of an honored French family.
81 9th n
marriage was arranged by the Empress
Eugene The ceremony took place in
the summer of 1858, and they began
married life most happily. In this for
tunate state they lived for several
years, according to the observation of
others, without a cloud upon the dOmes-
tic horizon.
Then Sisnor Nicolini appeared upon
the scene. They first met in 1871. The
wooing and winning of the diva by Mic
olini forms the greatest romantic cpl
sode of her life, and is considered by
many the most incOmprehensible.
Words can hardly express the aversion
in which Patti held the singer. NicOlini,
according to all accounts, seems to have
been of rather ordinary musical ability.
He appeared to initiate in every posi-
BILE way the great Mario though in
voice he fell far short Of his ideal. This
rather servile copying in dress, manner
and so on, may have had much to do
with PATHS feelings. For, when young
she had heard Mario and Grisi. and
that Nicolini should attempt to dupH-
cate Mario in minor details may have
been the original cause of her aversion.
Nicolini, however, who had a wife and
children, followed Patti all over Eu-
rope When he knew that she was tC

DEMOCRATS MUST

 if Possible.
MEMBERS FROM NORTH CAROLINA
Will Have Little Show of Retaining Their Seats in the Next House-Ad-
 ministration Determined to In- crease Strength of Army.
BY ARCHIBALD w. BUTT

, Washington, November 12-(Special.)- The small majority in the next house makes it necessary for those democrats who were elected by very narrow majori- ties to make their case good. While the next session will be very important one, 1t will hardly be more so than the first session of the Fifty-sixth congress.
 The next session will hardly afford the republicans sufficient time, lasting only until March as 1t does, to put through many of their pet postwar schemes. A majority of eight or even twelve or fifteen is scarcely safe majority to trust bill for instance, to increase the standing army to one hundred thousand men. It will be necessary to have what is known as safe majority and the only way to get this is by turning out the democrats. As experi- ence illustrates, they will have little com junction in doing this. One already hears headquarters here counting on this or that seat for the next congress. They are open in predicting that the members from North Carolina will have little show before the next house.
 Propitiate the Negro
 One reason given for the necessity for this is to precipitate the negro for the next republican convention. Unless something is done by the administration to prove to the colored brother that 1t is still his friend, President Mckinley will not fare well at his hands when the next nomina- tions come around. Then, too, the house leaders will demand larger majority with

out of the mere fact that he will visit Spanish ports, the foreign officers here are doing everything to throw cold water on the idea that his majesty had any political end in view in touching at Spanish ports. The foreign office appears to be anxious to avoid any step calculated to wound public feeling in the United States, which it is fully recognized here would resent a visit of the emperor to the Spanish ports while the peace negotiations are still uncon- cluded.
 It is well known here that the emperor, among other objects in view desires to utilize his trip to unite German Protestant ism, now split into three factions, and es- tablish his office of Summus Episcopus, now held merely over the Evangelical church of Prussia, over the whole of the Protestant Germany. Before starting for Palestine the emperor thoroughly discussed the idea with the highest dignitaries of the Prussian church, Drs. Won VarHausen, Drysander and others, and also approached the church authorities of the other German states. The emperor firmly believed he could realize his plan, but nevertheless the project utterly miscarried. The Grand Duke of Baden represented to the emperor that existing circumstances made it im- possible for the other Protestant princes of Germany to yield to the emperors wishes.
 Exalted sultan ssIadin
 Emperor William before leaving Damas- GUS made a speech in which he exalted Saladin as one of the most knightly rulers of all ages and begged Abdul Hamid and his 300, 900 900 followers to accept the assur- ance that he, the emperor, would always be their friend. His majesty also com manded his military attache to lay a wreath on Saladins sepulchre inscribed:
 ''The memory of the brave and knightly, sultan"
 The emperor's enthusiasm for Sultan Saladin does not appear to be relished by many. The Vorwaerts, at the risk of being prosecuted for Lese majeste, says:
 Times have changed. A former German emperor, Barbarossa, lost his life in the Christian cause against this same lSaladin,; whom the ruler of the new German empire now tremendously glorifies. The friendship between Ishlem and the kaiser, calling himself Christian, is now so ardent that the latter. after offering a prayer at the sacred birthday of Christianity now glori- ies as a hero and knight, without fear or blameTthe conqueror of the holy sepulchre the bitterest enemy of Christianity and the exterminator of Christian rule in Pales- tine."
 Tt is said that Emperor William during his visit to Jerusalem was greatly shocked by the many French flags flying, and re- marked: France has a great many build ings here, but there is room for others.
