The Masqerade Ball.

The masquerade ball given by
the Saratoga band last Christmas
night was very well attended, par
ties coming from all over the
country to take a part in the fes-
tivities of the occasion. The hall
was crowded almost to suffocation
and there was standing room, only,
for the greater number of people
until after the supper hour.
There were the usual number of
clowns, darkies, and representative
characters, besides many that were
costly as well as very becoming.
The prizes were awarded by J. X.
Jeffries as follows: best lady waltz
er, Mrs. E Ii. Harvey; best gent
leman waltzer, Lou Carroll; best
costume, Mrs. Plat Richardson
The dance was a financial success.

An Interesting Letter.

A very interesting letter from
Johannesburg, South Africa, was
picked up on the streets and hand
ed to us for publication. but mas
much as it is a private letter we
have RETAINED, fearing the owner
might take offence. The letter is
from some person who has gone
from this country to South Africa
and is writing back his experience.
His account of the country, the
wages, and the mining industry
are all very interesting. He says,
among other things, that the bulk
of the hard work is done by the
negroes, who are herded in com
pounds at night, like cattle, and
are not allowed ont on the streets
after 9 o'clock p. m, and when
caught out they are arrested and
fined. The negroes are not allow
ed TO walk on the side walks, but
must take the middle of the street.
No one is allowed to sell or give
them any whiskey or brandy and
in fact they have hardly any rights
that a white man is bound to re-
spect. The letter was written last
July and mentions the fact of a
probable war between that country
and Great Britain.

New Electric Light Plant.

From Mr.. Tom Rendle we learn
that the Rawlins Electric Light
and Fuel company intends to or
der its new plant at once. The
new machinery will be of double
the present capacity and will in
clude one of the latest makes of
the Corliss engine from the E. p.
Allis Co.'S works in Milwaukee.
This machinery would have been
ordered before but the company
has been waiting the outcome of
the deal now pending for a sale of
the plant to Denver parties.
While there is every reason to be-
lieve that the sale will be made,
the order for the new machinery
will be placed now, as it is neces-
sary to have it on the ground as
soon as possible, whether the sale
takes place or not.-Rawlins Jour

The public installation OF of
ticers which took place at the
Masonic Lodge last Friday even
ing was a very successful affair in
every respect. AT least 100 peo-
pie were present and the hall was
crowded. After the ceremonies
were over short addresses were
made by j. B. Maghee. Judge
Blood and Past Master j. F.
Crawford. Mrs. DR.. Finney, Mrs.
Gustave Jensen and Lee Jensen
favored the company with songs
which we're highly appreciated.
After the company had spent some
time in social converse and in
card playing a delicious lap sup
per was served, of which all par
took with much relish. The as
sembly dispersed about midnight.
The installation ceremonies
were very highly praised by every
one who has had the pleasure of
attending anything of that kind in
other places. Everything went
off without the least jar or friction
and the evening was without a
single incident to mar the pleasure
or happiness of the assembled
company.

To Guide the Social Novice.

Informal callers should be most
careful to avoid the hours for
meals.
To drop an unwelcome acquain-
lance one merely omits sending
cards.
Do not apologize too much for
not having called before. Your
neglect to do so may not have
been observed.
Never impose yourself upon your
friends unless you are feeling well
and are reasonably sure of making
yourself agreeable.
Do not offer to your hostess the
slight of "A hurried call. nor be alb
sent-minded, nor constantly con-
sulting your watch.
Rise to take leave while you are
the speaker-not when the CONVEX
sation has languished, lest you APP
pear to 90 because you are bored.

THE DRURY CASE.
The Facts Concerning His Arrest for

U. s. Marshal f. A. Hadsell ar.
rested E. S. Drury. postmaster at
Encampment, last Friday, on q
charge of opening a letter belong
ing to one, James A. Turnbull last
June, and brought him to this
place before U. S. Commissioned
J. F. Crawford. Drury waived ex-
animation and was bound over to
the United States District court
in the sum OF $3.50.
Mr.. Drury, who is the editor of
the Grand Encampment Herald,
published at Grand Encampment,
explains the matter as follows:
Turnbull had a claim in the Grand
Encampment district and some
person had jumped it. In order
to inform him of the fact without
writing him a letter, (Which he
had cause to believe he would
never get, he opened one of Turn
bulls letters mailed at Denver
and received at the Encampment
post office. In his note to Turn
bull he said: 81 have tempered
with your mail to let you know
hat your claim has been jumped,
but have not read your letter"

Go to the old country to see

sisterly epistle.

Edward Haggarty, who passed
through here last week on his way
east, may conclude to visit Eng
land before his return. He has
had two brother in the Transvaal
country for some time and, as
they have been driven out of
there, they will probably return to
England, in which event Mr..
Haggarty will go home to see
them. Mr.. Haggarty had receiv-
ed a letter from one of his sisters
in England, giving a very interest
ing account of the escape of one
of one of her brothers and his
wife from the Boer country. When
her brother wrote they were at
Cape Town to which place they
made there escape. They rode
for four day and nights in open
coal trucks and nearly starved on
the road Their trunks, contain
ing everything they had, except
the clothing they mad on, had
been sent ahead sometime before
but had not turned up and they
had given them up for lost. 1t
was costing them a small fortune
to live at Cape Town, rooms alone
being SIS per week. By permits.

portion of the letter for we are
sure it will be interesting to oul
readers. After detailing the
adventures of the trip she says;

Hugh McMulen the father of the firm is
native of the north of Ireland and has
given to his sons combination of urbanity
and aggressiyeness that is sure to win. The
business life of the firm began in 1884 at Mt
Savage, when the firm was composed of the
late Henry B. Shafier, Daniel F., Hugh A.
and John p. McMullen. The original bust
ness home of the firm was the old store at
Mt. Savage, but as successful as was the bust
ness there conducted 1t failed to at all satisfy
the progressive spirit of the McMullens. In
1888 an extensive business was established in

and is still promoting its development In

to the exclusive conduct of his own business,
retired from the firm, and from that date the
career Ofthe three McMullens became marked

\ PROGRESSIVE, SUCCESSFUL
FIRM.
McMullen Bros.

The sketch below, including cut,
copied from the Cumberland Times of
last Saturday, is an interesting exam
pie of progress and success of business
enterprise when guided by intelligence
as discreet as it is aggressive.
The Times, however, leaves little to
be said, and inasmuch as the i'm
portant branch of the house which is
conductud in Flostburg contributes
no little to the general success, its
article is given as one that will as
suredly command general local in
tereSt:
Baltimore street is enjoying veritable
building boom.
The old landmarks, good enough for busi
ness houses of a generation ago, have ceased
to satisfy either the purchasing public or the
up-to-date merchant. The narrow, dark
stores considered all sufficient or good enough
in former days, are rapidly giving place to
modern fronts and interiors. There was
. tine when the owner, intending to erect a
new building, went to a carpenter or con-
tractor and said 81 want a store or a house
like John Smiths. Make it nice on the out

at that historic. stand. June 9th, 1886, is
what may be properly termed the anniver-
sary of the Cumberland business, as it was on
this day that the st. Nicholas department
store, taking its name from the prominence
given to the location by an hundred wears of
incidents and important occurrences, opened
Its doors to the public. Hugh A. and John
L. McMullen located here and threw into the
conduct of the business inyincible activity
and discreet judgment.
AT that time the floor space USED was 7, 200
ieet twelve months afterwards 5000 feet
were added and the store had made a place
Tor itself in the community which demanded
Its enlargement Another twelve months
served only to increase this demand and
4,ZOo feet of space was added for the purpose
OF enlarging the department. This increase
brought the. e.space in daily use up to 1900
leet, and In addition to this large area of bus-
ness activity there was some 10000 feet of
storage in warehouses conveniently located .
Even this large area soon proved insult
hcient and it was decided to use all of the
available space owned by the company.
rams were accordingly drawn. and after the
most careful consideration it was decided to
construct IN the very best manner the magnif-
lcent structure shown in the cut With an
aggregate floor space of ~ 600 feet, or about
an acre, this establishment gives to the people
who recognize in Cumberland the best place
at which to buy, the largest surface stocked
with rich and excellent wares that is found
in the State of MarVland The preat danort
ment stores of POsner Brothers at baltimore
contains considerably less area The St.
Nicholas will hold the front rank in this re-
gard until the new PoSner building can be
erected.
McMullen Bros. take no selfish view of the
business situation they aim to make their
business great and they foster and encourage
the increase of the business of ALL because
they know that the greater the volume ofthe
business of the city, so much the larger will
be their share of it. From the days of their
modest beginning at Mt Savage, some fifteen
years ago, until now they have always DEM
onstrated by their acts complete conviction
in the soundness of this theory. As to the
future Of this great beehive of industry it can
be safely stated that the past is merely an in
dication, an index finger as it were, pointing
to the future; at all times and under all con-
dtions the st. Nicholas can be depended upon
to fully meet all the requirements of an ever
increasing and more exacting clientele.
In this career the Times wishes as sincerely
as it predicts a most satisfying result, both to
the prOprietors and the public which it serves
