present than ever before in the history
of the camp. Dinner parties, card par
ties, mus Gales, excursions and pri-
vate entertainments are the order of
each evening, and the claw-hammer is
much in evidence.
Walter Miller and his charming
young bride returned this morning af-
ser an absence of about SIX weeks, dur
ing which time they visited various
California points of interest. Most of
the honeymoon was spent with the
gr0om's parents in Los Angeles. 1t
will be remembered by readers of The
Republican that Mr.. Miller's marriage
was somewhat of a surprise to his
nearest and dearest bachelor fIGends.
There is a little story that <1es with
this, the last chapter of which was
Transcribed last evening with consid-
ernble eclat. 1t seems that Walter in
his coltish days had been an inveterate
ringleader in the innocent. but noisy
post-nuF.5ial ceremony which they des-
ignateG a charivari. Wh5n it came
Mr.. Miller's turn to surrender to Cupid
visions of horrible reprisalS from those
who had trodden the rosy path before
him (albeit with a few thOrns of his
scattering), and he so cleverly ar
ranged matters that he was on the
train with his bride westward bound
before the conspirators were aware
that the knot had been tied. But like
good wine, a little ageing had not de
Perforated the quality CT his fTLends'
enthusiasm. AT o'clock last night
a party of juveniles surrounded the
every manner of tin horn or plate that
broad Cornwall could furnish. An
unearthly din and racket was main
tanned for probably half an hour and
might have been continued until this
morning, judging by the energy OF
the performers, had not Mr.. Miller
emerged from the cyclone cellar and
scattered generous Iargesse. Shortly
following this Jerom5's only brass
band occupied the veranda and dis
coursed a potpourri of SOU inspiring |
meloales such as My Honolulu Lady,
and SO forth. This WIS NOT quite as |
bad as the tin cans and Mailer stood |
it a little longer to the intense gratI- |
fcatiOn of the entire \~Islde. The |
committee in charge finally kidnapped |
Mr. Miller and bore him OFT bodily. AS |
your correspondent has little knOwl- |
narrowing tale can be carried no far
ther
a reception was he'd at the First
Congrega church last night mat
was largely attended. Rev. f. ii
Ashmun and MS VIE were formally
presented 10 a large numb5r of Je-
rOme's best people, who are interested
in church work. Mr.. Ashmun has Gre
ated a very favorable impression in
the community, is an earnest and en-
ergeJic worker and there IS little QueS-
ton but that he will build up a -four
ishing congregation in MS new field.
The Old Baptist church which was re-
Gently purchased by The Congrega-
tiOnalists was utilized by Dr.. x. w.
Woods as a hospital after the last Sep
TENDER fire. A month ago DR.. Woods
took possession Of his new quarters
and thoroughly renovated and repaired
the old church building without and
within. 1t is now in flrst-class order.
