At The Club.

The Manhattan will dedicate their
elegant home with reception and
dance on Thanksg living eve. This is
the happy announcements the club
authorized at their regular meeting,
Monday night. The club rooms will
hardly present their best appearance
by that date, but they will be Lovely
enough to surprise those who visit
them that night for the first time.
Few, except those who have charge
OF the enterprise realize what the club
is doing. The entire second floor Of
the Hallin building is being fitted up
to suit the artistic tastes OF the boys,
regardless OF expense, and the expense
item was provided for in the begin
ming. The main part of the floor is
arranged for dance hall and rooms
are partitioned off, carpeted and richly
furnished with lounging chairs,
tables, goo goo corners and an elegant
piano that plays its own tunes. The
main hall is being done in rich ma
room blending skyward to a sunset
tint. In the main lounging room
green predominates and the club
colors, purple and gold, are proiuse in
rich bows and streamers.
The affair Thanksgiving eve will be
exclusively for club members and
their ladies. The policy of the club
is not to be too exclusive except as is
necessary to preserve a membership
whose character and conduct are
above reproach, and there are enough
such in Ritzville to secure and pro-
mote permanently first-rate club.
The organization is incorporated and
char tered.

"a Circus GIRL"
Lively Farce Comedy at the opera
house Tuesday, Nov. u.

Lively Farce Comedy at the opera
house Tuesday, Nov. 27.
The Macoy Comedy Company, pre-
senting that funny comedy, "a Cir
Gus Girl" is said to be one OF the
strongest farce organizations on the
road this season. Miss Maud Sutton,
who enacts the circus girl, is n chic
and vivacious soubrette. She is ably
supported by X. A. Graham, clever
comedian, and the full strength OF
Macoy's comedians.
"a Circus Girl" is one OF those very
merry laugh producers wherein
young married man gets into a vast
amount OF trouble by little lark
during his wife's absence. His COM
panion during his escapade, the Cir
Gus girl, obtains his handkerchief,
marked with his name and address,
and calls ON him the next morning,
when she proceeds to make things
lively for the entire household.
She orders new circus costume,
for which Arthur has to pay. Woman
like she tries the costume on when 1t
arrives and comes down stairs to show
it to Arthur. Arthur's mother-in-la
happens to be in the room and he is
compelled to introduce the girl as his
niece. This causes further difficulties
and his rea! niece arrives few min-
utes later and be has to install the
real niece across the street. The
trouble he has to keep the three
women apart forces him to invent lies
which keep him in hot water. Com
plications follows complication until
Artbur's position is an unenviable
one. To get out OF it requires some
tall thinking, but Arthur finally
comes out on top and the circus girl
marries his nephew, much to the con-
sternation Of the mother-in-law, when
she finds that the circus girl is not
Arthur'T rich niece. Numerous spec
ialties are introduced, not allowing
dull moment the entire evening. This
company win hold the boards at the
opera house one night only, Tuesday,
Nov. ". Seats on sale at usual place.

1t is noticed, with regret on the
part OF the people who like to admire
human intelligence, that belief still
exists in palmistry, not merely as an
indication of character, but as an in
dex to destiny. That the inner sur
face OF the hand shows marriage,
death, riches, babies or the other Incl
dents OF life is OF course as indefensi-
BILE as theory that splitting at sight
oil cross-eyed man slaves off hoo
doc. However, there is money in it
for the person following the unlawful
occupation which in plain English
may we'll be termed obtaining money
under false pretenses. Palmistry may
be practiced for Entertainment, as by
the cheerful idiots OF the social circle
and the newspaper department, or for
gain. Practiced for gain it is (like
fortune-telling, astrology, graphology
and SO forth) naked and unashamed
imposture. Its professors are not
dupes, but dupers; they delude the
ignornant, but are themselves under
no delusion. They know that they
cannot read character, relate the past
and ioretell the future by lines in the
hand. They know that these lines
are merely wrinkles caused by closing
the hand; that the hands confgura-
ton determines the character OF the
lines. They cannot tell single thing
that they profess TO be able TO do, as
amy one having the win and patience
lean prove beyond a possible doubt by
tests that will suggest themselves to
any person of ordinary intelligence.

NO GIANTS MADE TO MR. CRAGIN.
ANNOUNCEMENT THAT HE HAD RECEIVED
CONCESSIONS FROM NEW-JERSEY RI
PARIANS COMMISSIONERS WAS
PREMATURE.

The announcement made yesterday in almost all
the morning newspapers of this city except The
Tribune, that the Riparian Commissioners of New
Jersey had granted rights to Edward f Cragin
the promoter. who contempates building island
on Oyster Island Reef, in .New-York Bay,
premature Mr. Cragn's scheme is construct
an island between Liberty and Ellis islands, to
build a mammoth grain elevator. TO dredge
channel so that heavy draught ocean vessels
reach the island, and connect the artificial
island with Jersey City by trestle railway. The
application for the rights was made several weeks
ago, and has been discussed at several executive
meetings by the Riparian Commissioners who are
favorably disposed to granting privileges to re-
claim the flats, but who are not disposed TO antag-
onize the Harbor Line Board attempt inter
fere with the rights of any riparian owners the
United States Government The Commissioners
Will make no grant to Mr.. Cragin without the con-
currence of the HarbOr Line Board
The Riparian Board had plans drawn for building
a series of Islands Oyster Island Reef two
years ago. The Harbor Line Board that time
objected TO the scheme because the building of the
islands would decrease the tidal flow through the
Narrows. and 1t is probable that the same Objec
ton Will be offered in the present case. The
riparian Board has, however. instructed Engineer
Payne TO prepare a map showing the bulkhead and
pier lines around the shoals lying under water
between Liberty and Ellis islands. This map must
be approved by the Riparian Commissioners and
and riparian owners before the lease can be made
to Mr.. Cragin
Mr.. Cragin believes that the carrying of his
plan would divert grain traffic from Baltimore,
Philadelphia and other cities. since the grain could
be brought direct from the West to the island
and quickly transferred from trains to vessels.
