Miss Mae M. Steger, n OF this
city's popular young ladies, charm
ingly entertained the Young Ladies'
Club at her home on South Union
street last evening. Miss Steger was
given the honor to give the last
social of this club Of the sea-
son, and it can we'll be stated that as
a hostess she has few equals in this
city, and her entertainment last even
ing fully showed that this last affair
was the browning success of all the
popular events given by this club this
season. The home was beautifully
decorated with ported plants with the
prevailing colors of red and white.
Dancing and cards were the diversions
of the evening, and the score cards
were very handsome. A number of the
Lillian Tucker Co. were in attend
ance and at about twelve O'Clock the
guests were served with dainty re-
freshments, the tables presenting a
handsome appearance, being decorated
with cut flowers with smilax in pro-
fusion. The affair was certainly one
of the most enjoyable given by this
club this season. Those who attended
are as follows: Percy R. Callahan,
Ed. E. Elig, William Ephin and Amiei
Leonhart, of Wheeling; Karl Hunter,
Of Moundsville; Joseph McNabb,
Moses Elikan, of City, and Mrs. w. j.
Campbell and Misses Bert S%hannfelt,
Anna White, BERTHE Sc~hindewolf,
A ~ o1io orI Tr,,Ia Ofa~or tn tho iii
version of cards progressive cinch was
the game. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that the affair was a success, but
it is well to say the club will long
remember their hostess.
A shooting affair occurred at one
of the leading saloons yesterday. Two
shots were fired by the bartender and
each shot missed it's victim, and the
bartender was brought before Squire
Mason yesterday morning, where he
was bound over to the grand jury. On
account Of him waving a hearing, the
case is out of the Justices Court. He
was held on $500 bail. The affair
was a simple one, and is expected to
be squashed.
For the past two weeks Police
Court has been so poor that it's at
tendance fell far below the average,
but yesterday morning n man was
summoned before the Mayor and when
the Mayor glanced at him he was
seen to have a sorrowful look on his
face, but had the courage to say two
dollars and costs. Then came a sur
prise, the man produced the amount,
silence prevailed in Court, the tinkle
of cash sounded on the Mayors desk
and a thoughtful policeman raised a
window to give the Court some fresh
air. The prisoner left and the Mayor
regained consciousness and he asked
in a dazed condition what had hap
pened, and he was told a plain drunk
had paid his fine and a big mark was
made for the first victory for many
months. Mayor Freese returned home
early to supper and you can guess the
reason why.
