An IntcrruDtcd Feast.

There dwell in one Of the handsome
residences of Tioga an elderly lady and
her daughter. The mother recently
went out of the city for a few days
stay. On the day she left the daughter
informed the colored cook carly in the
morning that she would visit friend
and would not return until O'clock ut
night.
Bot the friend was not at home, aud
the daughter came to the city to shop
and returned home at 6 o'clock instead
of three hours later. She found ten
colcred couples in the parlor, and the
table in the dining room was set for 20
persons, with the silver pieces and best
china in evidence. In the kitchen the
cook was busy preparing a feast. When
her eyes fell upon her young mistress,
the servant exclaimed in horror: Good
gracious, you done come home so soon!
Why, Use invited nah friends to din
nah. Deed didn't expect YOU
The young woman said she was sure
of that. Result: Colored friends left the
house hungry; cook, too; girl invited
neighbors in, and all enjoyed the feast

Republicans Carry the State by q
Close Majority.
Portland. Ore, June 5.-Returns from
yesterdays election are coming in very
slowly. Moody and Tongue, republicans,
are elected to congress-. The democrats
claim the entire fusion legislative ticket
in this (Nfultnomah) county. If the
claim holds good the next legislature
will be close, probably small republi-
can majority. For mayor Of Portland,
Rove. republican, is slightly in the lead.
Portland, Ore, June 55.-Meager re-
turns from the interior and the few
votes counted in this city indicate the
election OF Wolverton, republican, for
supreme Judge. and Moody, republican.
for congressman in the Second district.
Chairman Steele, OF the republican
state committee, says he is confident
| that the entire republican ticket has
been elected.
In 1895 the republicans carried the
state for Geer for governor by piural-
1ity over King. the fusion nominee. OF
1854. Mckinley carried the state in
1896 bysa plurality Of only 2,117.
Before any reports had come in from
Oregon yesterday Charles A. Walsh
secretary OF the national democratic
committee. said the democrats hae
little hopes OF carrying the state, bn
hoped to cut down the republican ma,
4 jority. Willis ]. Abbot said that the
democratic press bureau had not re
ceiyed any reports from Oregon which
gave any estimates on which predic,
tions could be based. He added tha
i when he was in the state severa
months ago he was of the opinion tha
. the coast states looked upon territoria
expansion as something which woul'
!. help them materially and he did no
believe the democrats would make an.
gains. Other democratic leaders yes
n terday said they looked for nothin
