THE RED Letter DAY.
One of the Most Enjoyable Successes
of the Social Season.

The Red Letter day held at Mrs.
E. M. Fuller's yesterday was a decided
success. The members of the Clover
club were all dressed in costume to
represent Martha Washington. Many
of the costumes were very beautiful
and nearly as ancient as the lady they
represented. Each member had an in
vited guest, and as they entered the
beautifully decorated parlors we're
presented with a Ratchet of either
red, white or blue, containing a motto
appropriate for the day.
A picture of the Washington cherry
tree was pinned on the wall, and each
lady requested when blindfolded to
pin the Ratchet as lei the notch in
the trees as was possible. The one
coming nearest the mark to receive a
prize.
Mrs. V. Richardson was the success
full winner, and received a handsome
picture of George Washington. A
part of the entertainment consisted
of a flower conundrum story.
Thirty-two questions we're asked
each to be answered by the name of
some flower. A prize wa also given
the n answering the greatest num-
Der correctly. Miss Thompson having
answered twenty -four out Of the 80 re-
ceived the prize. Music was furnished
by Mr.. and Mrs. Fuller and Master
Perry. Old fashioned refreshments
were served on very ancient dishes,
some of which were used in Washing
tons day. The table RAJ decorated
with a veritable cherry tree loaded
with cherries very %skillfully arranged
by Mrs. Harley Averill. Great credit
is due to the committee, consisting of
Mrs. L. NJ. Averill, Mrs. w. G.. Par
ker, and Mrs. c. NJ. Scribner, for the
success of this most enjoyable occa.
sion.

SYMPATHY FOE THE BOERs.

One of those peculiar instances OF
Observation-Disclosures on the part OF
Lawmakers in allowing a measure to
go through which afterwards parsl'
Yves them by its direct antagonism
to the views of the majority, occurred
in the United States Senate on Sat-
day last. On that date Mr.. Allen
presented the following resolution
"That the United States of Ameri-
CO extends its sympathy to the peo-
pie of the South African Republic
in their heroic struggle for liberty
and popular Government and believes
il to be the duty of the Government,
of the United States of America to
offer mediation, to the end that fur
Their bloodshed be averted and an hon.
orable peace may be concluded be-
tween the belligerent governments"
Only about a dozen Senators were
present, and, no objection being
raised, the resolution was put and
declared carried. In a moment the
members present realized what had
been done, and that an explanation
would be expected by the President
An effort was made to remedy mat
tiers by demanding the ayes and nays
but as the motion had been declared
carried, it was too late. OF course
the resolution was perfectly proper
and appropriate, but it places the
| Administration in an embarrassing
position, and what steps will be tax
en- to undo the mischief will b.
watched with interest.

DEATH OF eENERAL OLARKE

The news of the death of General
r. NJ. Clarke, which occurred at San
Francisco on Sunday last, will be
received with profound sorrow by
his many friends throughout the
entire State of Nevada. For thirty.
five years the deceased had made
his home at Carson, and during his
long residence in this State he made
scores of friends, who learned to love
him for his many noble traits of
character. In 1866 he was elected
Attorney General of this State, and
held the office four years. He was a
distinguished lawyer, standing high
in his profession. and there. as in his
private life, he had the confidence and
esteem of his associates. Two years
ago the General suffered from q
severe attack Of la grippe, and for a
time it was thought his life had
passed away; but he rallied. and
lately appeared to be slowly recover
ing his health. On Sunday, how
ever, a stroke of paralysis came, and
he died instantly. General Clarke
was sixty-fve years Of age, and was
a native of Ohio. He leaves a wife
and two grown children.
