Mr.. and Mrs. G. Il. Smiley have 1s-
sued invitations to dance for Nov. %,
at Genital Hall. The invitations are
literally distributed owing to the OBJ.
ject of the occasion, being to secure
funds to purchase an organ for St.
Thomas Episcopal Church. The ad-
mission is one dollar and no doubt eve
ry invitation will be responded to. Mr..
and Mrs. Smiley's entertainments are
always of the most pleasing nature.
and every one is glad when the proper
season comes for them. Mr.. Smiley is
a wealthy man and holds the highest
rank in the catering business in Chica
go, while his beautiful home In 22nd
street is the scene of many charming
social gatherings.
Speaking of the kindergarten con-
nected with the Institutional CT urch,
she called attention to the fact that
though in Negro settlement and man
aged by Negroes we were obliged to
hire white corps of instructors after
searching In vain among our own peo
pie. Concluding che said, "In the
South where nine-tenths of our own
people dwell and where the kindeygar.
ten must be established for it is through
the kindergarten the Race Problem"
is to be solved. there is large field for
our young women who are willing to
make the sacrifice and become compe
tent kindergarten instructors.
Mrs. Johanna Thrailkeld, a colored

ages, on account OF injuries received by
her on the night of March 24eh, 1895.
by falling on the sidewalk In front of
50A4 Dearborn street. She received q
permanent fracture of the left ankle
and through the careful attendance of
her physician, Dr.. ]. N, Croker she fin
ally became able to pend the above
said suit. The attorney in the case was
Mr.. W. g. Anderson, young and pros.
porous lawyer of this city. He was as
sisted in the trial of the case by Hon.
E. 81. Morris. Mr.. Anderson merits
every encomium said of him as he has
proven himself to be conscientious In
his methods OF dealing with the law
and for a young lawyer his record is
second to none.

TERRACES OF NEW ZEALAND.
Pink and White Cliffs Again Making
Their Appearance.
From the New York sun

| (From the New YORK sum-
Henry NJ. Cadell, a ScotchEan who some
years ago wrote one of the best condensed
accounts of our Yellowstone Park, has
been visiting the volcanic zone in North
Island. New Zealand. where he caught
glimpses of the pink and white terraces
that we're buried out OF sight fourteen
years ago. This region is land of won
ders. No part of the world, except the
| Yellowstone Park. is so conspicuous for
hot sn-ings and geysers. They burst from
| the ground endlessly diversified in form,
| size, and chemical composition. Long be-
| fore European settlers saw New Zealand
| the thermal and mineral waters attracted
| the natives who had discovered their Gu
rative properties. Mr.. Cadell says that
some sanatoriums have now been erected
there and are visited by many New Yea
landers and foreigners.
Mount Tarawera, about 5000 feet high,
was supposed to be extinct till 1886, when
one winters night it suddenly awoke The
natives who live around the shores of the
beautiful lake of the same name at the
| foot of the volcano told Mr. Cadell that
| eleven DAYS before the catastrophe they
saw a spectral canoe floating in the heav-
| ems above the lake. They had never seen
ANYTHING like 1t before and they believe
| the spectacle was a forewarning that
some terrible event would occur. Mirages
are sometimes seen in that region. The
canoe may have been merely phenome-
| non of this sort or perhaps only u curl
| ously shaped cloud.
The explosion came with scarcely mo-
ments warning. A tremendous shock dis
| turbed the entire region and the ash
| covered summit OF the volcano was blown
into the air to a height of 10000 feet,
visible for $50 miles. Flaming scoriae
and a deluge of ashes fell In dense
showers on the surrounding district.
MANY villages were crushed beneath the
weight of dry ashes or buried under heaps
Of mud. Many places were buried deep
under layers of volcanic dust.
One of the most regrettable features
of the explosion was the destruction of
the "Wonder of Worders,' the famous
mineral spring which filled a crater about
$50 feet in circumstance and, overfiowing,
it's transparent. alabasterlike margin
fell in thin azure sheets from basin to
basin. AS 1t fell the water, saturated
with silica and sulphurous substances,
became cooler and gradually changed
color from the sapphire tints of the
upper basin to turquoise blue lower down
and slightly azure shade where the
waters entered the lake. These white
and pink terraces as they were called,
were among the most beautiful OF sights
and few foreigners going to New Zealand
failed to pay them visit. The terrances
were blotted out beneath a heat of
scoriae. Mr.. Cadell brings the interest
ing news that here and there these gor-
geously colored rocks are again coming
into view and it is evident from his de-
scription OF the region in its present as
poets that the phenomena of this won
derland Will always continue to rank
among the most remarkable of natures
spectacies.

Carrier Pigeons. In Warfare.
Trom the New York Evening Post.)


The France Militaire'' states that special
attention has recently been paid in France to
the of carrier pigeons by the cavalry. The
bird is carried in basket attached to the rider
shoulders in the same way knapsack. At
first the basket was attached 10 the Saddle but
the ioting soon rendered the bird incapable OF
performing any useful service. 1t was placed in
q zinc tube with its feet drawn up and its wings
folded but the jolting removed all the feathers
from the back of the bird. and left the flesh
bare and sore. The bird is still placed in
tube, but the tube is made OF wicker and lined
with hair, the elasticity of which deadens the
effect of the joltng. One, two. three such
tubes can be carried in the basket. The birds
are in n numbed condition when first taken out
OF the tubes. but they speedily recover. unless
they are left several days in the tubes. when the
nun,bness ends in death To prevent this light
form OF folding cage is carried, i'll which the
birds can rest and recover themselves during
a halt and partake OF nourshment. Twelve men
belonging to the cavalry are sent every year to
attend a course of instruction in the handling
and treatment OF pigeons at the military pigeon
station at Vanguard.

yards Of the houses on nearly all resi-
dence streets in the District, and the
property owners thus get from the mu-
nicipalffp WAT IN ali other cities they
have co Jay large prices for. Projections
have been allowed in the past of steps,
bay windows. and porches, but the people
are beginning TO construct houses SO as
to practically narrow the parking by the
extent of building projections allowed.
This being 5 feet for bay windows. the
practical effect IS to reduce 90-foot
street to an actual width of so feet, and a
secondary effect is to ruin the architec-
ture of the Capital City. 1t seems to be
q part OF human nature to take all that
can be obtained for nothing; and as no
charge is made for these Entertainments
upon the public streets, very few seem
to be willing to build house without Sc
curing a bay window, thus producing a
uniformity in the appearance Of resi-
dences which is rapidly becoming such an
invariable feature as to mar, as before
said, the architectural appearance OF the
city. 1t is recommended that the schedule
of projections in front of buildings be
modified SO that the present narrowing
of the streets, which is going on all over
the District, will be restricted to rea-
sonable degree. The extent to which this
is carried in individual cases may be real
lied when ii is stated that in recent
application for permit to build upon a
corner lot the proposed house was SO
designed that q per cent of it was to
stand on the public street. and numbers
of very similar cases could be cited II
necessary.
During the year the last section OF the
highway plans was completed and placed

lay ont his streets and sub-divide his
property with the knowledge that ulti-
mately when the city reaches him his sub
division will be in accord with the city
plan and connect smoothly with streets ex-
tended from the city. This has been a
work of considerable magnitude. and the
Commissioners are largely indebted to w.

Itis with more than ordinary pleasure
that We call the attention OF our good
citizens to the good work lately so we'll
begun in our community. The efforts
of Rey. Ernest NJ. Smith, aided by many
OF our best citizens, have been crowned
with eminent success. The grand jury
OF this county, supported by these aids,
have completed the work so nobly
begun by tho upholders OF law and
order. No longer is Willston the only
place in the State OF North Dakota
where the laws Of the state have been
openly violated. but our fair town now,
with its comparatively clean record,
starts out ufrssh. and aided by an
impartial and determined judge. and
backed by the good citizens whose hearts
are in the work, we may expect to see
that the offenders against the law will
receive. due punishment for their
crimes. We congratulate Rev. Smith
and bis Jealous co-workers, aad predict
that the day will soon come when the
good people Of Williams county will
fully appreciate the eforts of the leaders
Of the movement, as we'll as the court
and grand jury. who have respectfully
unf1inchinRly done their duty.
