1t is almost certain that Solomon had
never heard of jungle dinner when he
made his rash boast that there was moth
ing new under the sun. Certainly no one
in this day and generation had ever even
dreamed of such an entertainment until
Mr.. T. F. Collier created it Friday night.
1t happened at Newport, of course, and by
reason of an unreasonable rain the scene
of the hosts unique hospitality was trans
ferred from the pavilion at Bailey's Beach
to Mrs Herman Oelrich's carriage house,
which was made forest-like with tropical
foliage. grasses, and tall, outrageous
palms. But there were other and even
more engaging ideas carried out, and in
the dense greenery heads OF animals
were irnproyised and their features de-
fined by electric lights from which the
place received its Illumination. The I'll
gers and wildcats glared and flashed
their eyes at each other and at Mr.. Col
lier's friends and great serpents lent
strange lustre with their bright green
eyes as they seemed to be dragging their
weary way about. The aspect Of the sin
gularly fascinating decorations was not en-
tirely frightful, however. Monkeys grinned
down upon the company and a fatherly
looking donkey nodded approyingly every
time the man in charge of the mechan-
ical device thought TO give il twist. The
table was set uD in the form of hollow
square and guests sat within the enclosure
thus formed as well as outside it After
dinner the place was cleared and jolly
dance followed. The change from the pa
yilion at Bailey's Beach to the Oelriehs
stable necessitated omission of some Of the
features contemplated. including riding on
a merry go-round. but il made the dancing
possible. There were some pretty favoTs,
including bits, whips. and brides.

pink and white. will form the floral deco
rations of the evening many of them COM
ing from the White House Conservatives,
which will also contribute the brides bou-
quet and the blossom bell under which
the pair will stand to be married. The
gown of gowns-according to chroHiclers
who seem to have had more than peeps at
the trousseau-is to be misty web OF
peau de sole with a Marie Antoinette
fchu of chiffon and lace. The Brussels

its folds will flash the diamond sunburst
which will be the Presidents gift to his

Mrs Abner Mckinley, the brides
mother. will wear silver grey crepe de
chine with grey velvet bowknot appiiqned
in graceful design. The bodice will have
a fiehu effect in lace with arabesques OF

Going away gowns are always interest
ing when they are not of monotonous
grey, and Miss McKinley's is black. There
is a thread of white in the weave and
with a white velvet collar, brass buttons
and touches of poppy red cloth, there is
no fear of the costume being too gloomy
to be worn by bride.

tives and neighbors. and the clergyman
of the church at Somerset which Miss
Mckinley attends will perform the cere-
mony together with Rev. Dr. Morgan, OF

AGENT AND MANAGER.
Statement By Mr. Scott of the Cana
 dian Bank of Commerce.

1t having been rumored that the Cana dian Bank of Commerce of this city, was not really branch of that great institu- ton but merely an agency, and that there fore circsm stances might arise in which the bank could disavow the acts of this agent. Mr. Scott was yesterday interview ed upon the point.
 ''l don't see any point in it," said MT, Scott. It is all poppy cock. My respon' siblity to tle general management of the bank is just the same as that Of any of our Canadian branches, and the banks re- sponSibilitv to its patrons in the United states is the same as to it's customers in Canada. It is simply a convenient detail in the banks arrangements to class all the managers of its branches in a foreign country as agents as handy distinction. MT. Lay. who has opened the branch at White Horse is styled manager, and the same with MT. Bllett at Atlin; vet MT. Gray, who is at the head of our import ant New York office is merely styled agent.

HAPPY ON THE VOYAGE
Marshal Brings the Crowd to Serve as Jurors-One of the Merry Crew Amuses Himself Throwing Hats of the Others Overboapd.

That was jolly crowd of talesmen the Flosie brought up from Juneau yesterday morning. There were sixty-four of them and the steamer was chartered especially for the trip by Capt. Campbell of the Alert. They were pretty much crowded in the little ship, but that they had en> joyed their trip there was abundant evi> dence. They were we'll provided with such necessaries as liquids and cigars. This was not all foresight, as the crowd ran dry at one stage of the proceedings, It was happily discovered, however, that in the freight Was consignment ot Matlock's celebrated beer for Flames. A "dicker" was made with the captain, the result of which is the consignment will never reach Its destination, and again happiness was enthroned.
 Many thrilling experiences are related by those who were fortunately present on the trip. An ordinarily staid business man, eXultlng in the exhuberance of the occa- sion, made an attack on the derbys in the crowd. But Ben Behrends, who was aboard, presented each bareheaded Juneau ite with a new hat from his spendidIv equipped Skagwav store.
 Ed Russell was complaining at late hour last night that he had not slept much on the trip, He said he and Kaufman had been assigned to one bunk and it was just sixteen inches wide. This would have served had t not been for the fact both in- varlaby retired at the same time. The other experiences, having met the censor's eve, were suppressed.
