| AT the home of Mrs. c. T. McIlyar
yesterday afternoon occurred one of
the pleasantest parties OF the season,
the event being given by Mrs. Chas. t.
McIlyar and her sister, Miss Laura
Morse.
The house was profusely decorated
with vines and flowers, and 1t looked
very cool and inviting to the guests,
who repaired thither at 2 o'clock The
form Of entertainment was cards
six-hand euchre--and nine tables were
filled, six places to table, with a
merry party Of ladies who appeared at
their best in thelr incest summer
gowns.
When playing had ceased It was dis
covered that Mrs. Conner, Mrs Bal
lard, Mrs. Kirby, Mrs. Booth and Miss
Linnie Simpson had tied, so that
to name victor 1t was nec-
essary to cut. In the cutting
Mrs. Kirby won, and she was

a beautifully painted plate The con-
ISOLATION prize was also very pretty
token, consisting of an interesting
photograph artistically framed. This
prize was gained by Mrs. Dale Schafer.
Both prizes were the work of Miss
Laura Morse.
Novel tally cards were used; they
being green cards, on each one of
which was impressed real four-leaf
clover. Fifty-four four-leaf clovers!
The luck should have run high to ev-
eryone at the tables-but then it
didn't.
After cards came the supper con-
sistirg of pressed chicken, tomato sal
ad, brown bread, white bread, olives,
pickles, coffee, pineapple ice, ice
cream and cake, The supper was
served on china plates whereon was
spread in enduring colors and with
consummate taste the skillful handi-
work of Miss Morse.

foreigners and In restoring law and
order in China. Mr.. Mckinley is a
Arm believer in the plank OF the Re-
publican platform adopted at Philadei-
phia that says; '"rhe American gov
ernment must protect the person and
property Of every citizen wherever
they are wrongfully violated or placed
in peril" and is living up to it in this
Chinese mater just as he has done up
on every occasion that has called for
action since he became President. He
has no fears of any complications in
China which may involve this govern
ment. He knows that this government
has no hankering after Chinese terri
tory and that the United States forces
in China and to be sent there will be
used for no other purpose than that of
protecting the lives and property of
foreigners and the restoration of law
and order, and he, in common with
the rulers of the other governments
whch will participate in the humane
movement, has been assured by Russia
and Japan, the two governments
which on account OF proximity will
have the most men in the allied arm
les and which are regarded with the
most suspicion by European nations,
that they will not attempt to use the
presence Of their soldiers on Chinese
soil for the purpose of acquiring Chin
ese territory. He does not know nor
does any other man, what VIII be the
final result of the invasion of China by
an army Of the allied civilized nations,
but he and his able advisers can be
fully trusted to meet any questions
that may arise in connection Herewith
in a manner that will be honorable
to the United States and satisfactory
to all patriotic Americans and will at
the same time preserve all OF our
commercial rights in China.
Few persons, outside of those direct
ly interested, realize the enormous
1 VI Jul iolVi6h
the Mckinley administration. For
instance, Mr.. John S. Merchant, OF
Portland, Maine, now in Washington
said of that trade in his own city:
Our Custom House is doing the lars-
est business in its history. The
statement may seem big, but it is new
ertheless true that there are goods i'm
ported in bond in Portland amounting
to s10,300,000 every month. This has
been the record for the last four or five
months. This state of affairs is due
to the shipping of goods to Portland
for transportation by rail to Canada,
which formerly went direct to Canadian
ports. The harbor of Portland has
numerous advantages for freight and
merchant steamers across the Allan
tic, and recently the steamers have
been availing themselves of these ad-
vantages."
The nearness of Philadelphia caused
large number OF officials to attend
the Republican convention as on
lockers, the crowd being especially
numerous yesterday, when the nomin-
ations were made.

Air Power From a Waterfall

| What is said to be the first machine
drill ever run by air direct from a col
umn Of water was started up at Aims
worth, B. c., last week This unique
compressor has just been completed by
a company, which is represented in
the Northwest by w. S. Norman &
Co. The first plant using compressed
air for power that was generated by
fall of water was built by this COM
pany for the Dominion Cotton Mills, of
Magog, Quebec, but this one at Aims
worth is the first one used in machine
drilling. Mr.. Norman has just re-
ceived report on the working of the
new compressor from E. e. Knowles,
superintendent Of the Philadelphia
Mine, on which the plant is running
The report gives some interesting
particulars Of the working of the
plant
The compressor consists of an up
right pipe at the side OF a hill, giving
a fall of 107 feet. Under this a shaft
hase been sunk about 200 feet, so that
the full drop is over 5000 feet. The
water in dropping carries with it a
large quantity of air. From the bot
tom Of the shafe the water escapes in
to vessel, where rhe air rises to the
surface. The body of water from the
vessel to the surface gives a pressure
of about eight pounds to the inch to
the air, which escapes to the pipes
from the top OF the tank.
The present plant at Ainsworth is
designed to work all the mines sur
rounding it. At present it is being
put into the Tariff, the second to re-
eelve it, and it is said that others have
been waiting to see the result of the
Philadelphia trial.
AS to the success of the important
experiment, Mr.. Knowles says: "The
drill is 10000 feet from the compressor
which is on Coffee Creek. 1t started
without hitch and with elghty-hve
pounds air pressure at the drill. This
pressure is absolutely maintained at
all times. / will venture the state
ment that there is not another ma
shine in the world today that is work
ing with as dry and as pure air as this
one, and there are none giving better
results.
Here is an instance of what this
system OF COMPRISING air will do.
The company has developed water
power with working head of 1000
feet. 1t has been using a Pelton wheel
Oelted to mechanical compressor, yet
lhis cheapest OF plants has been shut
down for the simple reason that they
are getting their power at their very
door for just one-half what 1t has been
costing them for labor to run the plant
% say nothing OF their investment,
interest, oil and repairs
This system will increase dividends
for mining men. The coal and wood
pile can not compete with VI, nor the
most improved mechanical compress
sors run by water. The compressor
Is running excellently with not a soul
nearer IL than three miles. spokane

exemplary citizen of our city, was SOL
emnized at four o'clock this afternoon
at the home of the brides parents, Mr..

At the hour stated and in the pres
ence of a happy company, composed
mainly of relatives, Miss Eva Lena
Mckay and Josiah w. Boyers were
made one by the solemn ritual service
of the Presbyterian church, impress
sively performed by Rev. T. A. And
erson.
The brides gown was a beautiful
and artistic creation of white Duchese
satin, entrain, tastily trimmed with
mouseline de sole applique. She also
wore full bridal veil and her bouquet
was Of white roses. The attendants
were two little flower girls, Misses
| Clemenza and Leila Stealey. attrac-
lively attired in pink and white, and
two pages, also diminutive in size
Master Clarence Mckay, brother of the
bride, and Master Ralph Broadwater.
Miss Belle Pugh, of Columbus, Ohio,
handsomely gowned, served as brides
maid, and j. C. Brewster, of Niagara

Office Of best man. The groom ap-
peared in a dress suit of the co1fven-

The ceremony took place in the
front parlor of the pleasant Mckay

Mendelsshon wedding march, fault
lessly executed by Miss Zula Dawson,
of Beaver, Pa, who also played the
appropriate selection 20 Promise Me"
while the words of the marriage cere-
| mony were being repeated. The deco
| rations of the house, and especially of
the room where the marriage occurred
were an artistic blending of carnations
pink and white roses and smilax.
Following the marriage compact,
and the proffering of post-nuptial
congratulations, the guests were seat
ed at the refreshment table, which was
| beautifed with flowers in harmony
| with the color scheme of the decora-
ticns-and served with very edible
| luncheon prepared by c. D. Kuhn, the
celebrated Pittsburg caterer.
After the feasting and accompany
| ing pleasantries the bridal party were
driven to the station and took their de-

qualify by the 10th. Lierle com.
piled on the 18th. The democrats
claim that by virtue of the c'ltutes
and the boards action, vacancy was
created in that office, which must be
filed at the coming election. They
have filed papers nominating DIR.
Brady, but the republicans failed to
file nomination papers for that Of
