Birthday Party.

This afternoon little Miss Ruth
Wilson celebrated her fourth
birthday by inviting eleven of
her little friends to bring their
dollies and to stay to tea, and
they all came. The little hostess
was very dainty in her white
frock and blue ribbons. And what
q delightful time the little tots
did have for three hours, with
swings, hammocks and the games
dear to baby hearts. At 5 o'clock
the call was made for supper and

quets of white flowers, and
crowned with that wonder and
delight of every child's heart, a
birthday cake, with lighted can
dies. After the feast the cake
was cut and the little hostess dis
tributed the pieces among her
guests, to be carried home to dis
play to the sympathizing eyes of
their mammas. Miss Ruth re-
membered few of her grown
friends and extended invitations
to her aunties, Mrs. Sherwood,
Miss Wilson, and to Mrs. Hos
brook, who were made very happy
in seeing the innocent delight Of
the little guests who had all come
bearing pretty little gift to their
hostess.

b. c. R. and N. officials Fined
for Assaulting Striking
Machinists.

From recent developments at Cedar
Rapids, where the machlnists formerly
employed in the b. q. r. and N. shops
went Oh strike several weeks ago in
protest against the Inauguration of q
piece work schedule, it appears the
difficulty is far from settled.
Yesterday Mr.. Murphy, Assistant
Superintendent of the b. g. II. and N
and j. Tenney, roadmaster for the
same system, were brought up in court
and fined for assaulting machinist
by the name of Bush, who recently
went to work for the company, filling
the place vacated by one of the strik-
ers. After learning the facts con-
nected with the strike, etc, the man
resigned his position.
Twenty men arrived in Cedar Rapids
yesterday from Burlington in charge
of Roadmaster Tenney and were met
at the depot by Assistant Superin-
tendant Murphy. Bush and others
endeavored to dissuade the new men
from going to work. Murphy pushed
Bush away without using his hands
and Tenney also pushed him away
using both hands. The former was
fined S25 and all costs and tho latter
$50 and all costs.

A Pleasant Social Function

Yesterday afternoon about
eighty-five of our society ladie
spent delightful afternoon
through the courtesy of Mrs w
M Carlisle, Mrs T p Carlisle and
Miss Turner, who entertained at
a Kensington tea at the home of
Mrs w M Carlisle on Fourth
street.
The story is told of an old
Scotch minister who had three
daughters whose love Of colors
and display of fnery was very
trying to the quiet taste of their
father. AS remonstrance failed
to change the young ladies' style
of dress the minister resorted to
other tactics and rs the daughters
entered the church, in loud, clear
tones he read the scripture lesson
which said, "And say unto you,
Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these" And
with sweep of his hand he dir
ected all eyes to his gay daughters.
So if Solomon Sin all his glory''
had taken a peep into Mrs Oar.
isles parlors yesterday he would
have retired with sentiments SINH
lar to those experienced by the
Queen of Sheba on her memora-
bic visit. rs every guest wore
new spring costume, each one be-
ing a marvel of the modist's
skill. A few of the ladies made a
slight pretense at fancy work but
most of them yielded themselves
to the fascination of the gay chat
going on and feasting their eyes
on the picture made by the pretty
colorings of the pretty gowns.
Dainty little Louise dressed in
white, conducted the guests to the
dressing rooms. The decorations
were green and white. After the
guests had arrived Turner Car
Isle gave couple of ROTATIONS
in manner that won him hearty
applause. The Treble Clef then
rendered "Spring Time" in SO
pleasing a manner that they were
compelled to respond to an en-
core. Miss Burbank followed
with several selections of instru-
mental music and then the guests
seated themselves on veranda,
porch or in parlor according to in
clination and refreshments were
served by Misses Goodman, Nell
lie McGavren, Fensler and Nc
Kay. Misses Mckay and McGav-
rem wore lovely pink gowns, Miss
Goodman was dressed in pre- tty
blue aud white creation and Miss
Fensler wore white with pink
ribbons.
At z o'clock the threatening
clouds frightened the guests into
taking reluctant leave as the at
mosphere of the company was 80
congenial that all would have
gladly extended the pleasant COM
pany indefinitely.

Nine Thousand Ties.

The r, b & M V and s @ & P
roads have 500 cars of railroad
ties piled up in this city at the
present time. This is ties enough
to build sixty-six miles of rail-
road. What epiling up of such
a number of ties in this city por-
tends is simply q guess, but the
best authorities on the subject
say the company is setting every
thing in shape so that if any other
road than the G & NV should
get hold of the s 9 & P, they will
have everything in readiness to
parallel the road on the very
shortest notice. The ties are all
of the kind known as No. and
are the best procurable.

The Symptoms of Love.

The Symptoms of Love.
A German scientist has recent
ly described the symptoms of love
as follows: The oscillations in
the interior of a PERSONS body, as
may be seen in the case Of vibra-
tory attraction, are in harmony
that is to say, they are at the first
movement in complete concord
ance with the oscillations in the
interior of some other persons
body. 1t is, of course, necessary
that the reactionary sentiment in
the case of the two subjects should
be of an agreeable nature, since
the two vibrations facilitate the
movements of the atoms, which
in this case accumulate and emit
their rays without disturbing the
diffusion.

TOUCHING A LIVE WIRE.
There's Little Danger if You Retain

Five thousand volts of electricity
were hurled into T.. l.. Price an cleo
trician at the Edison company plant
yesterday, and he walked over to the
City hospital to tell 'em about it. 1t
proved to be the tallest thing in that
line of story of that kind the doctors
had ever heard.
"A very few hundred of those things

Just So" said the electrician, but

formed"
You say 5000 volts of the stuff
entered your body?" inquired another
one, gazing at the man in wonder.
Yes, sir" Price replied; 5000 volts
registered"
Didn't it do anything TO you at all"
asked d physician.
Nothing but this" replied Price,

even in large numbers has been the
subject of interesting trials abroad.
reports of which have reached the
Navy department here.
That one machine gun properly and
effectively worked is equal to 200 rifles
in the hands of as many soldiers has
been amply demonstrated. Each shot
from the machine gun works greater
injury also to the body struck than the
small bullet of the army rife and it's
range is far greater.
In recent trial 80 marksmen were
chosen to compete with the Hotchkiss
s-millimeter gun, which has vately
been widely adopted in France and
Germany. The ranges fired were from
400 to 500 yards. At 500 yards the fifty
rihemen, each having five rounds in
dependently, obtained 81 hits, or 22,s
per cent. of the number of rounds
firea Thirty-two men were them
chosen from among the 50. and these
had to fire eight rounds in 30 seconds.
Under these condition "a, or 1873 per
cent. of the rounds expended, were
recorded,
The machine gun was then brought
into action, and in 3s seconds fired 2ll
bullets making li5 hits, II was shown
from the result that the machine gun
was far ahead In hits made and rapid
ity of fire. No such practical tests
of the relative merits of the machine
gun and a number of small arms have
been made before.
