Mrs HARDMAN ENTERTAINS.
One OF the pleasantest Of the many
pleasant events which have made up
our social calendar for the past few
weeks, was the tea given by Mrs
Hardman last Thursday afternoon,
1t partook somewhat of the nature Of
farewell to her mother, Mrs EdiCk,
who has been with her for the past
two years, and who has endeared
herself to a large circle Of friends.
The guests were set to work at
questions with floral answers, and
much merriment ensued, the first
prize falling TO Mrs. Dunn and the
second to Mrs. j. Nipps. The brain
work being over appetites were
whetted for material things, and in
these there was no disappointment,
for a dainty and most enticing tea
was served, leaving nothing TO be de
sired.
In the adieux were mingled many
expressions of regret to Mrs. Edick,
that Phillipsburg society was so soon
to lose her coupled with the hope
that she might soon be welcomed
back again.
Those present were Mesdsmes Irving
Rogers, j Gebhsrt, Ohamplin, Satter.

circle, and acquired fresh laurels on
this occasion. Each guest was pro-
vded with a card containing CUES

man, Receiving the first priza, which
was a handsome book The refresh
ments IN quantity and quality were
of the very finest and while it was

were responsible for it all, we have
well.grounded suspicion that Mrs

over it, which might in a measure &C.
count for it's great success.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
In the Present Case-Former Instances of the Sane Sort.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-It is said at the Navy Department that there is no lack of precent for such disasters as that sustained by the Maine, all of which can be traced to accidental causes. In 1885 the United States man-of-war Missouri, then lying at Gibraltar, was totally wrecked by the explosion of her magazine. Another case famous in naval his tory is that of Her Majesty's ship Doterel. In 1887 she was lying off Puenta Arenas Tn the Straits of Magellan. An explosion wiped the ship from the face of the waters and left almost none of her crew alive.
 This was another case of magazine explosion though it may have origin ated in the coal bunkers or boilers.

APPOINTMENT OF HAVIs.
It Was Promised Col. Cooper Last
 Week by President Mckinley.

Hon. Henry M. Cooper, chairman of the Republican State central con- mittee, said this morning, says the Arkansas Democrat, in response to a question whether or not he expected the appointment of Ferd Havis as postmaster at Pine Bluff:
 No. l saw President Mckinley last Friday, and he assured me the appointment of Havis would be made at once, as there was no neces- sity of further delay. I also saw Senator Jas. K. Jones, and he as sured me there would b, no objec- tion to the confirmation on account of his color, and further that he had been given to understand by friends in Pine Bluff that there would be no objection on account of his standing in the community and business qual. ifications. The confirmation will be made promptly.
 ssThe State committee did not act upon this appointment in the spring when other prominent offices were decided upon, but preferred to wait until they could more thoroughly investigate the matter. When the committee met in October they found that Mr. Hayis was en- dorsed by ReY. J. M. Lucey, Sena- tor w. P. Grace, and many promi- nent Democrats, and very large petition signed by business men, ir- respective of politics. Had we not received this endorsement he would not have received the recommenda- tion of the Republican central com mittee."
