Mrs. Graham Enteftalns.

The thanks of society is due to Mir. MT. and Mrs. Graham for the beautiful reception tendered by them last night to the members of the Cosmos Club and their invited guests, The art of entertaining is possessed in a high de- gree by Mrs. Graham and in her bean tiful home last evening she gave to all a kindly welcome that made them at home at once.
 The chief amusement of the evening was a railroad excursion upon an un- limited round trip ticket on which the passengers were expected to write the names of the cities through which they wished to pass as suggested by the words or lines heading the ticket. As a reward for being modest and not de siring to see as many places as possible upon free ticket the only prize was awarded to Mrs. Pearce. Capt. Russell 50 noted for his modesty, thought he should have had the prize, but chival ry must always stand aside for beauty. Toilettes were beautiful, eyes were bright aud the coquette was steadily a, work.
 Among the guests were Mrs. Ed mOnds0n, sister of Mrs. Graham. and -'i too leiCVs o hCdulltul uUu cndIIUlnl young lady friend of Mrs. Graham ,botl from Memphis.
 The decorations were roses tastil, arranged upon the mantels and tables and the refreshments were dainty and delicious. The hostess was in hei most charming mood and all masculine hearts acknowledged the subtle in fiuence of her beauty-while the host
 well everybody knows how handsome Will Graham is.
 Miss Annie Russell served the puncf so gracefully that it was temptation to finger too long at the flowing bow in the hope to intercept one of hel
 winning smiles.
 Mir. Barker as railroad conductor
 was proof against womanIy smiles ol
 manly tips and made everyone show his ticket.
 The evening was one of the most de lightful of the season and all guests de
 parted with an affectionate adieu te their generous hosts.

But Washington Officials are
 Not Discouraged.
A FRUITLESS CONFERENCE
while If Is Going on General Mac Auihur Continues to Engage Ihe 4ttenfion of inc Natives About CaIumpff and Impress upon Them inc Beauties ana AoVdh- faaeS of Peace.

Washington, May 9.-General Otis made no mention in his report to the war department today of the progress of the negotiations with the insurgents for a cessation of hostilities. but that fact did not abate the confidence of of ficials in the ultimate success of the pending attempts to arrive at an un- derstanding.
 There is a belief at the war depart ment that the Filipino leaders are thoroughly discouraged, and it is sus- pected that the next step in the peace negotiations will be a wholesale ef- fort on the part of individual Bill p:nos in the insurgent ranks to make terms for themselves without reference to others. Meanwhile there may be some small engagements between the outposts, but nothing like a general battle is expected.
