An Evening of Enjoyment.

Last Friday evening a number of
young people gathered at the home of
Miss Agnes Newman and from there
proceeded in body to the Lemin resi-
dence. Miss Lilly Lemin, in whose
honor the party was given, was great
ly surprised, and for that purpose was
the party given. The usual routine of
games, etc., was gone through and the
mirth of youth resounded through, the
house into the distant hours Of night.
The affair shows the appreciation of
companionship of Miss Lemin by her
numerous associates. She stands high
in the estimation of her friends in the
social circles of the young folks, and at
all times is amiable and pleasing

Looks Like Railroad Soon.

Landlord Eaton of lone was sum-
moned as a juror, and appeared
promptly on Monday, but, owing to
the fact that he expected large force
of railroad builders at his hotel, he was
excused. We understand that he had
been requested by the contractor to
provide rooms and rations for about
thirty eight men. This certainly in
dicates movement at least at that
end of the proposed line.

MONEY FOR HAWAII.
Making Paper from Sugar Cane Ref
use Talked Of.

The recent article in this paper ai,out
the possibility of making paper from
sugar cane trash is creating some local
interest where 1t is thought that the
idea may work out in the form of :,cw
industry. Vast quantities of paper are
used In these Islands, and all of it IS
imported at high price. The query is,
why not keep that money at home an ]
make Hawaii independent of The Nam
land paper manufacturers?
OF course sugar cane trash woul1 not
produce the best grade of paper; some
thing else would be needed for book I'D
note stock. This" said George Paris
yesterday, "is to be had In banana
stalks. roots and leaves. When a pa
mana tree bears il dies and other trccs
come up beside il. The old growth Is
full of the finest paper fibre, and cou' d
be showed into mill at one en1 and
come out at the other as superfine note.
As there Is an unlimited quantity of
trash and banana trees, paper making
looks like a sound proposition"

THE STRANGEST BIRD.

The banks of the streams in the VI
entity of st. Pauls, in the Upper Anna
zon. in South America. are dotted with
palm matched dwellings of the Ind
ians. all half-buried in the leafy will
derness, the scattered families having
chosen the coolest and shadiest hooks
for their abodes.
The traveller frequently hears in the
neighborhood OF these huts the organ
bird. the most remarkable songster by
far of the Amazonian forests. When
its singular notes strike the ear for the
first time the impression cannot be re-
sisted that they are produced by hu-
man voice. Some musical boy must
be gathering fruit in the thickets, and
is singing a few notes to cheer himself.
The tones become more fluty and
plaintive. Sometimes they resemble
the notes of flageolet, and the trav-
eler is almost persuaded, in spite of
the absurdity of the thing, that some
person is playing that instrument in
primeval forests. However closely he
may scan the neighboring thicket. no
bird appears, although the voice seems
to be that of some one near at hand.

tending to compel our own foreign dip

rounding the house are delectable gar
dens which Mrs. Senator Brice made
historic during the late Senator Brice
term of office by the fetes which she
gave in them. They are surrounded
by high wall, that completely shuts
off the gaze of the curious many. Ac-
cess to the gardens is gained by giant
gateway at the side OF the mansion
which was erected by Senator Brice.
IT'S HISTORY.
Preceding the occupancy OF the pala-
tial Corcoran residence by Senator and
Mrs. Brice were those of Daniel Web
ster and NJ. Montholon. the French
Minister whose magnificent ball given
within its walls in 1856 by order OF
Louis Napoleon is a matter of history.
During Mr.. Corcorans lifetime 1t was
rendezvous for such diplomats as
formed the Henry Clay circle. Mr..
Clay was an intimate friend of the
millionaire banker, as also was the
Hon. Rufus Choate.

WHY THIS CHANGE IN OUR POL

Perhaps we should be satisfied with
the excuse that such acquisition is nee
essary by way of warlike preparation
or precaution. This. however, imme-
diately suggests that we have found
heretofore a constant source of con-
graduation in the fact that the con-
temptation of war and its contingencies
is not and should not be familiar to our
ordinary national life. 1t has always
been our boast that large standing
military establishment and warlike pre-
cautions are not among the needs of a
people whose victories are those of
peace, and whose immunity from
armed conflict is found in their freedom
from the foreign relationships that give
birth to war, and that though 1t has

But DIR. Depew set all speculation at
rest by leasing the magnificent mansion
at the southwest corner of II Street
and Connecticut Avenue, which was
once the residence of Mr.. Corcoran. a
wealthy banker and philanthropist or
Washington.
Senator Depew has leased this palace
for term of six years for $1,000 year.
A great rent, II seems, and an amount
which would satisfy an ordinary man
for a lifetime; but when Senator De-
pew set out on his house-hunting ex-
petition a year ago his words to a re-
porter of this newspaper We're, II am
going TO represent New York socially
and politically to the best of my ability,
and 1 must find a house fitting the oc-
casions, II II takes a fortune" And
his determination has been carried out
to the complete satisfaction of those
whom he represents.
The neighboring houses of the Cor
coran mansion constitute the most his
toric group in Washington. Out of the
different windows Senator Depew may
look and view the residence of Secre-
tary of State John Hay, the house once
occupied by John Slidell. another owned
by a descendant of President Adams,
the former home of General Decatur,
and others equally celebrated. Sur
