A Gard Party.

At card party given recently by a New
York debutante to company Of her young
friends, the decorations consisted OF vio-
let's. The game played was progressive
euchre. The hostess received in gown of
violet crepe de chine, with large bunch of
the flowers at her belt, and violets were
massed in low dishes set in various parts
OF the parlors. The tally-cards were heart
shaped, with loose violets painted by hand
upon them. To attach each to the dress a
tiny violet pin, with a rhinestone center,
was provided. The first prize was an enor-
nous bunch Of three hundred yiolets. the
second a small basket OF satin finished
wicker, colored violet, holding a bunch OF
natural blossoms. When refreshments were
served each plate of china, with violet
decorations, held violet ice in its paper
case Of the same tint, with a miniature loaf
of cake. the icing of which ingeniously
arranged to represent a bunch of violets.
On the saIce plate with the ice and cake
was dainty basket of spun sugar in vio-
let, heaped with candied violets, and tied
with a ribbon OF the same hue.

The cit's ocIAL LIFE
Events. Gayeties and Personal Activities of the Week

A shy debutante was lectured at length
by her chaperon before the first dinner
party. She was told, says New York
writer, TO talk. no matter whether she
could think of anything to say or not. NO
one pays any attention 10 what you say
the first season anyway, so don't worry,
but say something or you will be put down
as a stupid girl or a baby. and your good
times will come TO an end. One must be
interesting or amusing in these days, and
it's very likely you will be sent in with a
silent man, who will expect TO be enter
tanned" The timid debutante. as fate
would have 1t, was seated within earshot
Of her stern mentor, and this is what the
latter heard: 1--WE haven't had very gay
season, have we. Miss Blank? Have you
been out a great deal?'
''Yes-yes." in trembling accents from the
debutante.
"Oh. suppose you went to Mrs. Billions
ball?'
"Oh-er-yes."
81 was at Lenox last week. The woods
look very bare, but rather picturesque. I'm
very fond of winter scenery, aren't your
'Eer-yes. yes"
81 think met you at Mrs. splank's. the
evening she gave the vaudeville; or am
mistaken? Weren't you one of the girls
who sang in the wild maids chorus?'
'N-oh-er. YeSr'
The man turned to his other neighbor,
and somehow or other the dinner came tc
an end. The debutante met her chaperon
at the door OF the drawing room: II con-
graduate you, my dear" said the elder
woman, as suavely as her keen sense of
failure would permit her. You are a credit
to my training. You have that yes to per-
lection. 1 think, with little more prac-
tice, you will be able to pronounce words
Of two syllables. Won't that be nicer"

A bellies Lament.

Oh, am weary, heart and hand,
And warped and worn and strained,
So tired or entertaining and
OF being entertained.
So PROSTATE Is my wretched soul
With dinners. luncheons. teas,
I'd build house at the north pole
To get away from these.
And with what Joy I'd waltz about
In hourly growing glee,
II no one came TO ask me out
Or ever called on me.
Oh, what delight to sit and gaze
Over the wastes OF snow,
Quite sure no form would cross the space
Either friend or foe
Fearing no woman. man or child,
Nor even the postman's ring,
The cards and invitations piled
That he is sure to bring.
Tea. could pay my calls and see
Ny list quite clear again,
My score wiped out, my tablet free.
Ny mind at ease ah, then

This dearest blessing shone-
For the remainder OF my years
Just to be let alone.

Bryan For the United States Senate.

Prom the lineage Record
Though Mr.. Bryan has been defeated
again In his aspiration for the presi-
dency, there is yet honorable and dis
tinguished public service for him to
perform, and he need not feel that
fate has treated him too unkindly If
he be Obliged TO content himself with
the secondary positions beyond which
neither Webster, Clay nor Calhoun
could rise. IL has been reported that
Mr. Bryan has considered the prOpriety
Of becoming a candidate for the United
States Senate provided that the fusion
party controls the Nebraska Legisla-
ture, and IL he does there can be little
question that he will be Of service both
to his State and 10 the country In that
Office. In his political and economic
theories he fairly represents a large
body Of voters In his part Of the west,

intellect he is easily the peer Of any

afternoon, Gen. Joe Wheeler said In

cogitating a moment:

Continuing in this strain, the Gen.
eral said: 'There are two things the
American people reverence. First, is
their God, and second is their flag. A
word against either will bring down
their condemnation. There was
never a party defeated for reelection

He was that night dined at the Union

DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPERS.
They Give Some Opinions on the
Cause for the Result Of Election.

The New York World, commenting
on the election, says:
"The fight against Imperialism,
militarism and monopoly-against
~plutOcracy and priyilege-will not
stop. 1t will go on unconfused here
after with anow dead and everlasting
ly buried free silver fallacy. The Phil
ippines must be as free as Cuba. The
eternal vitality Of the Declaration of
Independence must be acknowledged.
The supremacy OF the constitution
wherever the flag flies in sovereignty
must be admitted. II the Congress
just elected does not restore the re-
public in all its integrity, a Congress
must be elected two years hence that
win do it. Long live the republic!'i~
The New York Journal says:
Through the haze of defeat the
Democracy can see the victory that
might have been. Beyond a doubt Mr..
Bryan would have been triumphantly
elected but for two things. The first
was the intrusion Of the silver issue.
Free silver was dead, and so unpopular
that even its corpse was enough to
drag any man down to defeat.
"The second vas the policy Of cut
ting loose entirely from the Philip
pines. That was not in accord with
the spirit OF the American people.
American public opinion believes
in the retention Of the Philippines
and in the extension to that country
of a truly American form Of govern
ment, under which the Filipinos would
have no %prorocation to revolt. I'm
questi0nably the people are opposed TO
Mr.. McKiniey's policy in the Philip
pines, but they reason that II the is
lands are retained this policy can be
changed, while If they we're abandoned
altogether they never could be re-
gained"
The Omaha World Herald says:
"We stand uncovered In the pres
'ence Of a victorious foe. We extend
our congratulations TO the Mckinley
ties upon their great triumph and re-
serve for ourselves the conviction that
we fought for American principles,
followed a great leader and went to a
glorious defeat with a clear conscience
and a firm reliance in the Justice and
integrity OF the lost cause"
JEFFERsoNIANs NEED NOT DESPAIR.
The indianapolis Sentinel says:
"The people with their eyes wide
open have deliberately voted in favor
Of a policy of aggression and conquest
throughout the world. They have
voted that this shall be a military re-
They have voted against an
income tax and in favor Of a high pro-
tective tariff, and Of big subsidies to
private enterprise. They have voted
against legislation to prohibit or regu-
late the trusts. But let us not hasti-
ly assume that this verdict in its
sense is final. There is mol
reason for the followers Of Thomas
Jefferson to despair"

slight Causes Often Prsdacs Serious Re-
suits to Meas Health.
The various ways In which a cold
may be brought on are thus described
BY DR.. j. H. Kellogg: "a little knife
blade Of air blowing In through a
crack In a window upon some part Of
the body will chill that part and the
blood vessels Of that region will be-
come contracted, affecting somewhere
In the interior Of the body an area in
reflex relation with this portion of the
surface Of the body. For instance. the
blood vessels Of the skin Of the top of
the shoulders and the chest are asso-
ciated with the blood vessels Of the
lungs, 20 that whatever happens to
the blood vessels OF the skin of the
shoulders and chest happens also to
the blood vessels Of the lungs. II there
IL a contraction Of the blood vessels of
the back Of the neck there will be a
contraction Of the blood vessels Of the
8 and throat, and II there is a
contraction Of the blood vessels Of the
top OF the shoulders and the shoulder
blades, there win also be a contraction
OF the blood vessels Of the lungs.
When the influence OF the cold Il con
unued this contraction is followed BY
congestion. When one puts his hands
cold water. for q few minutes they
are nrst pale and then red. This is re-
action The longer the application ana
more Intense the degree Of cold the
greater Will be the contraction and
the congestion. So II the back Of the
neck Is exposed for a long time to the
influence Of cold one is likely TO have

'noulder blades and the tops Of the
ihouiders are exposed one is likely to
AXE cold In the lungs and suffer from
congestion Of the lungs. II the cold is
Ions continued It may cause not only

iands-A Letter Prom Him.

Ernest G. Koch, formerly Of Au-
drain county, now a member Of Co. II,
Goth United States Vol. Inft., and
located at Cagayan, Mindinao, p. l.,
wrote a letter to James Myers of this
city, in which he said:
We are located just three degrees
south OF the equator and the weather
Is quite warm
The Fortieth Regimentcame to this
island the last OF March and opened
up the ports. Companies T. F, q and
II, the latter OF which I am a mem.
Der, are stationed at nigan.
II is very quiet every where, except
here and at Orieketa, but there are
six companies here. My company has
had M fight on this island. We ran
into the Insurgents trap and lost
seven men and had seven wounded.
Our captain and first lieutenant were
among the latter. In Co. "Mn two
were killed and three wounded. The
entire company did not 90 out and we
were in a hot place. Bullets rocks
and anything the enemy could get
few thick. There was a hill to our
left and front, and we attempted To-
charge them, but the traps were tool
thick for US. When we would run
against the line Of the traps they
would 60 of and if a man was in front
Of M it would run a spear through
him. The resi- Of the regiment will be
here sOon and We are going to take
that place.
l like this island fine as it quite a
pretty place and quite healthy. The
rainy season does not amount TO so
much here as it does on the island of
LuZ0n.
Our campaign on Luzon was short
but tough. We had fourteen scraps
in fOrty-three days. The Insurgents
fired on u provision carts every
time they went to Lagaspi.
The greatest sight / have ever seen
is the volcanoss Mayor. 1t is $500 feet
high. 1t had an eruption on March
first and lasted three days. The whole
island shook, and large streams of
lava ran down the mountain sides. 1t
was a beautiful sight at night, but
not very pleasant, for we could not
get anything fit to drink; the water
was black and the air was fun of Gin
ders. 1t was not very pleasant trying
to keep the coal ashes out of ones eyes.
| think this country will be a great
thing for the United States; it win
furnish all Of the hemp they need. A
big schooner full was landed at the
dock the other day. The natives bale
the hemp like we do hay.
