ond, q cravat holder, fell to Mr.. J. G.
Rushong, of Ell Paso.
The evening closed with . pleasant
good night, the echos of which had
pines and bslsams 'ere they were
awakened by the neighing of horses
impatient to bear their fair burdens
across the mountains to Judge Falvey's,
where . warm welcome awaited them
also delightful lunch, which was
given in honor of Mrs. Hill and Mrs.
Curry.
The return gallop gave all keen
appetite to enjoy the dinner which had
been prepared for them in the abeence
of Col. Harvey, by his estimable wife.
A long table filed the center of the
dining hall. The flowers were Q large
center piece with two pyramids at
either end, small holder In the shape
of q tiny cup In front of each plate held
the button-hole boquets, the decora-
tions were maiden hair ferns

They were the gift of Mrs. E. F. Pier
son, of Boston, and were elegant in
their simplicity, being In perfect keep
ing with the white dresses and fresh
faces of the young people.
Mre. Hill, with Mrs. Currie, led the
party into the dining hall, occupying
the head of the table, with Mrs. A. G.

the guests were in waiting to parti-
cipate in q Chinaman party given by
Mrs. Hill, who, assisted by Mrs. Currey
bandaged the eyes of each, who in turn
tried to place the cue again upon the
head of the exiled Chinaman.
Miss Mabel Falvey succeeded in do
ing so, and was awarded the first prize,
Q silver bracelet; the second being
given to Mrs. Curry, souvenir spoon
Cloudcroft; the third, mucilage
sponge with silver handle, was hand
ed to Mr.. Matthias, of Ell Paso.
Not least among the laughable fea-
tures was the determination to pin the
cue upon Mr., Alexander, the father of

Two-Cent Mileage Law.

A bill has been served in the United
States court on ID. j. Foster of Bur
lington, chairman of the state rail-
road commission, to prevent the sale
of the 2-cents-a-mile mileage books by
the st. Johnsbury and Lake Cham
plain railroad company.
The orators set forth that the capi-
tai stock outstanding exceeds 50, 000,-
600 and the bonded Indebtedness Of
the road S2,000,000 that during the
last six years the operation of the road
has been carefully and prudently
managed vet the territory through
which ii runs is thinly settled, the To-
cal traffic small, the grades heavy, with
many sharp curves, all of which make
the property expensive of operation;
that the total gross earnings for the
past six years have been much less
than the expenses and necessary re-
pairs; that the money TO pay the def
icit in operating expenses and neces-
sary repairs and interest accruing on
its mortgage bonds has been raised by
the sale of the first mortgage bonds
left in the treasury in 1894; and that
all such bonds so left are now disposed
of. That the annual deficits for the
past six years have been as follows:For
the year ending June 30, 1898, $685.
525.s3; 1894, ss0.S72.20; 1895, $780,
2O9.O8; 1896, 1923, 1922; 1897, $780,
6l3.34, 1898, Sl49, 45S.72.
The company sold mileage books at
? l-2 cents mile previous to Nov. 81,
1898, and it is claimed that under the
provisions of the law passed by the
last legislature making a 2-cent rate
the company would sustain a loss Of
IS, 900 annually.
The bill stands for hearing on the
question of a temporary injunction
for Jan. q at Brattleboro. Pending
the hearing Judge Wheeler has grant
ed temporary injunction restraining
the directors, officers and agents of
the company from issuing or selling
any mileage books at 2 cents per
mile

Millions Unrivalled Tribute to Woman.

When Milton wrote those words
which stand unriyalled as a tribute to
woman: "Graoe was ia all her steps,
heaven in her eyes; in all her ges-
lures, dignity and love-" he did not
have in mind a weak, nervous, sickly,
nerve-exhausted and pain-racked
woman suffering from female COM
plants, but one in the glow of per-
feet health and strength. To be a
perfect wife or mother every woman
should first of all see that she is in
good health. This is certainly not
difficult at the present day,when such
an eminent specialist in the treat
ment of female diseases as DIR. Greene
OF "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass,
who undoubtedly has the largest prae-
tice and the greatest success in curing
all forms of female weakness and dis
eases, can be consulted free and his
advice and counsel obtained by any
woman absolutely without charge,
either by calling or writing about her
case. From his enormous experience
he knows just how to cure your COM
plants, Just how to advise YOU. and
he uses only harmless vegetable medi-
cines which are wonderful in. sooth-
ing, healing, strengthening and in
vigorating the female system. One
of his grand discoveries, DIR. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, is
known and used all over the world,
and he has discovered many other
medicines no less marvellous in their
curative effects. No woman afflicted
with female troubles or who is out Of
health in any way, should hesitate to
write about her case to DIR. Greene,
and she viii get, free of charge, in
formation and advice which is almost
sure to lead to her complete restora-
ton TO health.
