Now 1 dream of Christmas treasures,
OF the countless coming pleasures
Bringing JOY no words can measure
When my Christmas ship comes in!
She is laden with good wishes,
Gifts from books to fiowered dishes,
o / feel possessed Of riches
When my Christmas ship comes in!
Days seem long, but time is fleeting,
Soon wen sing the angel greeting
That my heart is eer repeating
When my Christmas ship comes in.
GLORY high above expressing,
Peace and sweet good will possessing,
Gift of gifts, come with thy blessing
When my Christmas ship comes in!

Edward Box, the youthful authority
on feminine topics, announces that "if
all the dressmakers known to exist
in America worked twenty-four hours
of each day for a whole year, without
stopping for sleep or meals, they would
still be able to make only one dress
apiece for less than seven-eights Of
the women of America" The saddest
feature of the announcement is the fact
that Mr. Box offers no remedy for this
calamitous state of affairs. Even with
the dressmakers working overtime,
what is to become of the one-eighth in
this season of prosperity when almost
every woman can afford a new gar
ment? Are they to be compelled to 60
dressless or resort to the bargain coun-
ter "a tailor -mades?" This is indeed
a serious thought to precipitate at n
time when so many other vexed ques-
tions are up for consideration. Let us
hear from some representative wo-
mans cub.

The Ex-Governor of Cuba.

" IS PROPER that a word of ap-
probation should now be printed
Il in behalf of the retiring eXecu-
tive of Cuba, Major General
Brooke. The period of his admins
tration covers a few days less than a
year, yet as he points out in his fare
we'll manifesto, a year ago he found
the country devastated. its resources
and commerce destroyed, and it's rural
population gathered in its towns with
out shelter and dying from starvation
and exposure, while today substantial
evidences of prosperity appear on ev-
cry hand, municipal and provincial
governments have been organized and
put in the hands of the native people,
the courts have been to a considerable
degree reorganized, with many of the
laws modernized, peace relgns and law
and order rules. Although much hard
work remains to be done in the recon-
struction of affairs preliminary to the
establishment of stable native govern
ment, and although there seemed al
the time to be a good many items in
General Brooke's passing conduct open
to question if not to censure, it must
in fairness be said for him that, taking
into account the limitations and the
strange circumstances by which he
was surrounded he has performed a
wonderful task.
He went to Cuba after a very brief
experience as the military governor of
Porto Rico, to which latter assignment
he had gone without any experience
whatever in the civil functions Of such
an office. All his life he had been Il
soldier, Injured to military forms ami
ideas. That under these conditions he
should have shown some signs of what
civilians call the spirit of a martinez
is less remarkable than that in Crap
pling with the large and complicated
problems of an utterly new function he
should so many times have been right.
1t is necessary to say that in all the
criticism of General Brooke which has
found its way into the American press
not once has his honesty been ques-
toned never has scandal in the fami-
liar Spanish sense attached to his
handling of the revenues or his ap-
pointments to Office, and by no man
has the charge been brought that he did
not do the best that was in him. This
is why fair-minded men will overlook
minor errors OF detail and accord to
him a cordial welcome home.
The American people can be proud of
an army which has ready for each new
emergency men of the stamp of John
II, Brooke.

Maud Marceau, a contributor to the
Weekly Democratic Magazine, asserts
that America needs a zola to teach us
our duty in the Maybrick case. The
writer in this case seems to have mis-. f.
taken the location of need. While
many believe in the innocence Of Mrs.
Maybrick and have made every rea-
sonable effort to secure her release, it
is not a case within the jurisdiction OF
any one in authority on this side of the
ocean. An English zola. backed by
ample capital, might accomplish re-
suits similar to those in the Dreyfus
affair, but 1t is difficult to see how
any such effect could be produced by
further agitation in the United States.

lake in the Gle Elum district, consists of
group of seven claims, namely, the
Argonaut, Aurora. Barbevive, Flanker,
Mountain Sprite, Blue Eyed Nellie and
Skrmisher mines, the principal one
being the Aurora, discovered July 18th,
1886. and developed by two tunnels 20
feet long and wing of 40 feet and shaft
lis feet deep, showing at that depth a
well defined vein of ore six feet in width
in granite. There are three other veins
in the property in various stages OF de-
velopment, aggregating in all about 800
feet of work, and will at the present
average oyer $40 in gold and 10 Per ce ut
copper. The owners are now driving a
crosscut to tap those veins or any other
vein that there may be in the Hill at
depth of 600 feet. This will enable them
to handle the ore very cbeaply, as it
will dispense with the necessity of pump
ing aud hosting. The camp is reached
from Cle-Elum station on the Northern
Pacific railway in distance OF thirty
miles bv wagon road. There is every
facility, such as water power, timber,
ETC., for the economic handling of these
mines when they have reached the
proper stage of development.
There are many other properties in the
Cle-Elum country-which, by the way,
is large distrct-that will on develop
ment prove of great value, no doubt.

scene and the well kept lawn was ablaze
with lawn lights. Indoors, the aesthetic
taste of cultured women had arranged
the decorations Of the various reception

which flash.lignt elarcd and w. l..

flowers of various hues, the lavender and
white, blended to make beautiful the
quaint scene. Many OF the ladies wore
their wedding gowns, among this
number being NIesdames Whitson.
Horsley, Graham and Wright.
The dining room was decorated in pink
and white. SmlaX and La France roses
adorned the table. Even the embroidery
of the table linen was in harmony, being
in pink and white and the ices were COL
ored with the same aesthetic touch,
being served from the Mikado parlors.
The dishes partook of the like delicate
colors, while sweet peas wound their
graceful clusters around the banquet
lamps. The hall and staircase were
beautiful with hops, golden rod and
other floral embems.
The joint bridal party received the
guests in the parlor, the hours OF recep-
ton being 7 80 to 9 80 o'clock; 8 to 10;
and to IL o'clock. The tables were

by Misses Patton and Rohrer; the third
hour Mesdames Hunter and Diteman

coined one and all with charming hospi-
tality. The young ladies were gowned
to suit the fashionable and gala occasion.
