the hot peanut concern at the Palace
Bakery. The peanuts are kept crisp

This Afternoon.

This Afternoon.
Judge Church having been quite i'll
for the past week it was feared that
court would have to be postponed.
The Judge arrived this afternoon how
ever and though still far from we'll is
ready for business. Judge Church has
often said that his terms of court
held in Crawford's miserable court
house nearly always caused him to
have sick spell and under the Cir
eumstances it is not at all improbable
that this term of court will be held in
in the opera house.

Saturday afternoon for the past few
weeks has been claimed by the young
ladies for their social gatherings. The
third of such q series was given at the
home of Miss Bond and was decidedly
novel The cleverly worded invitation
had prepared the guests for something
out ofithe usual order and the guests
were not disappointed. The request to
bring your wool mittens was obeyed.
though some of the guests We're com

Sunshine embodied in soap bubbles
furnished lots of amusement and the
wool mittens found employment in

was a very pretty and bewitching game
and was eagerly entered into by all the
guests. This was followed by another
clever game, Miss Bale win;ng the
prize. Refreshments consisting of two
very nice courses were then served and
shortly after the party broke up after
an afternoon of unalloyed pleasure to be
credited to Miss Bonds hospitality.

Seattle Welcomes Her Guests.

In her festal garments arrayed, Sc
attic today extends a hearty welcome
to the thousands who have come to
join with her in befittingly celebrating
the natal day of the nation. With album
dant means at the command of those
who have been charged with the duty
of seeing that the observance is ade-
quate to the anniversary to be COM
memorated, and to Seattles present as
Queen of Puget Sound and as future
Empress Of the Pacific. the celebration
of today will be one long to be remem-
bered.
II the programme arranged is carried
out as anticipated, it will exceed any
thing ever witnessed on the Pacific
coast. The parade promises to be the
greatest the city has ever seen, and
the arrangements made secure that Il
will not be interrupted or broken up by
the street cars. as has been the case
in the past. Numerous band concerts
sports is deliberately complete. and the
display of fireworks provided is su-
perb.
In addition to all this, the clerk of
the weather has promised something
which has been lamentably lacking in
previous celebrations. good weather. His
promises are proverbially unreliable
but in this particular instance. in view
of the elaborate preparations made and
the tens of thousands who would other
wise be disappointed. 1t is believed that
he can be relied upon.
Take it all in all. Seattle's celebration
this year will touch higher mark than
anything which has ever been attempt
ed In the state OF Washington or in the
Pacific Northwest, and all OF our peo-
pie who have shared in the labor OF
preparation deserve our congratulations
and thanks
