Society People EniOY a UNIQUE RepasI


The Chicago Chronicle gives the following
account of a progressive dinner there the
past week.
They dined. took an ar .,etizing drive and
then dined again. Every time they sat
down different viands tempted them. In
this way several prominent residents of
Hyde Park who believe in pleasant variety
asserted their advanced ideas Thursday ev-
ening. They were the hosts, entertainers
and guests at a progressive dinner,
which, If up-to-date society folk are cor
rectly informed. was the first OF it's descrip-
ton, arrangement and plan given on this
side of the Atlantic.
This was the menu:
First Course-Caviare sandwiches and
oysters at Mrs. Franklin w. CORVALLIS res
idence, 57SS Woodlawn avenue o'clock.
Second Course-Soup and fish at Mrs. Cal
vim s. Smiths residence, 1882 Lake avenue,
S:15 o'clock.
Third Course-Filets of beef, vegetables,
etc., Mrs. L. E. Burr, 4017 Lake avenue, 9
O'clock
Fourth Course-Salad dessert, coffee,
Mrs. Henry H. Lobdell, 4076 Lake avenue.
10 o'clock
1t was o'clock when the diners assem-
bled at Mrs. Cornwalrs. Someone sug-
gested a discussion on current events. but
Mrs. Cornwall insisted that the schedule
should be followed and the first course was
served without delay. The party remained
until 7:45 o'clock, when Mrs. Smith an
nounced that it was her turn and all hur-
ried to their carriages.
From Woodlawn avenue the party was
driven to Thirty-ninth street and Lake
avenue, where the second course of soup
and fish was ION the fire." This repast
was not so hurried, as the next course was
not at quite so great a distance. Those
who moved suspension of the rules while
they had a second edition of the course had
plenty of time to fold their napkins before
carriages were again announced at 9. The
diners could have strolled without firing
themselves or counting Indigestion to Mrs
Burr's residence, but the committee on ar
rangements wanted matters "just so,'' and
carriages were used again.
An hour was allowed for this third course
before the bell was rung, and then to Mrs.
Lobdell's, a block away, the party went
and the unique repast was soon completed.

WORSE WRITER THAN GREELEY
An Editorial Which Was Ruined by a
Tramp Printer.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
speaking of handwriting" said an old
newspaper man, 1.-The worst in the profess
sion since the Greeley myth was that of
Colonel ]. f. Barton. The colonel was a
southern man; he died in Alabama in '07,
and dozen years ago he was famous
throughout the middle west as editorial
writer of great power and versatility. The
queer thing about him was that his normal
penmanship looked almost like copper pa o
"a beautiful, flowing script, but let him get
excited or hurried, and it double discounted
the chicken tracks on Cleopatras needle
There used to be funny story about
him. current among printers and I'll tell it
for what it is worth. One night, according
to the yarn, a tramp printer drifted into a
western office where the colonel was in
charge, and applied for job. The foreman
put him to work, and he pegged along all
right until just before the hour for going to
press, when Barton sent in a hurry-up edi-
torial based on late news telegram. Near
ly all the printers had left, so the new man
got piece of the copy a page from about
the middle. He carried 1t to his case, look
ed at 1t frowningly, turned 1t upside down,
looked at it again, and finally put it in posi-
ton before him and began to snatch up
type. Read that in your sticks! yelled the
foreman, we amt got time for proofs!
And when the new man carried his matter
over 1t was dumped into the forms with
out further ceremony.
"What he set up ran about like this:
The mscreant who wrote the copy 1 have
before me is responsible for my fate. No
human being can read it. He cannot read
It himself Tonight 1 shall jump freight,
and as am somewhat shaky from recent
Tags. will probably fall off and be killed.
NV blood be on his head This remarkable
paragraph, appearing without rhyme or
reason in the middle of Barton's brilliant
editorial, astonished the readers of the pa
per next morning. When the colonel re-
covered himself sufficiently to get ciuo
and rush down to the Office the tramp print
er had vanished"

The Royal Union Mutual Life

The statement of the Royal Union Mutual
Life Insurance company, which appears in
another column of this issue, shows it to be
one of the most substantial life insurance
companies in existence. Its Increase of pol

large annual surplus increase. Though
nearly all the life insurance companies
have been prosperous in recent years, there
is hardly one which has grown to such pro-
portions in a short time as the Royal Union

FOR BASE BALL
Enthusiasm Aroused and
Play is Assured.
Old Stars in the Field Agaln-Bat-
terry I of the Sixth Artillery
A Meeting of Players.

Large bodies start slowly but when
they move they go with rush. 1t has
been definitely settled that Honolulu
is to have a base ball season, and it is
to be started at once.
The article which appeared in yes
|terday's Advertiser awakened the play
ers to the state of affairs. They real
lied that unless something was done
quickly base ball for this year would
be a negative quantity.
An informal meeting was held at
about 10 o'clock. 1t was decided that
the Wela Ka Hao team should disband
and be replaced by the old Star team.
This was done in order to start fresh
on the theory that new broom sweeps
clean. 'Dick' Davis resigned as man
ager and Jock Carter was appointed.
AL Moore will remain captain. A meet
ing will be held at 1870 this evening at
which all players are urgently request
ed to be present. Important business
will come up and affairs will be placed
on running basis.
The plan is to have a three-team
league, consisting of the Stars, Ka-
mehameha and Battery l. The KAN"
players are ready to play at short
notice The first game will be played
on the Oath, the Queens birthday. The
Stars will face the boys from Bat
terry I.
The Artillery lads are enthusiastic
over the project. Yesterday they had
two full mines out on the parade
grounds and from the article of ball
they put up in practice it is safe to say
that the contests will be close and ex-
citing.
I'VE hope they do form league"
said enc of the best of the soldier play
ers. I'VE do not play like national
leagaers, but with practice We can put
up a fair game. We want to play for
sports sake, not only to win. The
members Of the artillery team will be
chosen as much for their gentlemanly
qualities as for their playing ability.
AS far as we are concerned the games
will be played in a square and manly
way"
If Honolulu does have a base ball
season, and it seems certain that it
will, it will be due in a great measure
to the efforts of Duke McNichol. Yes
terday he flew around and button-holed
every player he met. The result was
that enthusiasm was started and plans
arranged.
