A GRAND SUCCESS.
The Entertainment Given by the Owl
Drug Store for the Benefit of
the Ladies' Library Asso-
Station Well Attended


The evining's amusement con-
sisted of music by the Jennings
cornet band, and an Italian harp
which was played by Mr.. Caba-
nicao. Miss Louisa Isle, of
New Orleans, sang a number of
solos, rand received great ap-
plause, as she has a fine voice
which has been we'll trained. An.
other feature of the evening was
a whistl.ng solo by Dr.. L. Clip
Duke, of New Orleans. The
doctor made quite hit, and be.
came famous at the West End,
New Orleans, where he whistled
nightly to a large and apprecat-
i've audience some five years ago.
He will reside here in the future,
and we think will become a ia
vorite in Jennings society. The
doctor is somewhat of cake
walker too, we hear.
Mr.. Alba Haywood sang a par
ody on, "Just One Girl which
brought great applause, and the
audience would not let him off
until he sang another, which he
did to their enjoyment.
Mr.. T. o. Darby gave an enter.
tainment in the way of Hypno-
tism. Mr.. Darby is an amature
but he did we'll; if you don't think
so ask Roy Cooper or DR.. Ber-
wick.
The proceeds were as follows:
The silver toilet set, donated
by Sterns and raffled brought
$685., and the proceeds Of the
refreshments served at the Owl
Drug store amounted to $1,000,
to which Mr.. Arthur added Il do
marion of so per cent, making a
total of 2O3.55. One of the
special features was the grand
waltz led by Count Won Hoffman.
The Gouthrier Bros proprie-
tors of the Owl Drug Store, and
Stern Bros. are deserving of
great praise for their liberality
in furnishing the means for rals.

Washington, Oct. 4.-The coal
conference between the presi.
dent and representatives of the
operators anu tainers came to an
end at the temporary White
House last evening with a failure
to reach an agreement. Appar-
emily the rock upon which the
conference split was recognition
of the miners union.
The president had urged the
contending parties tocease strife
in the interests Of public well
fare. The miners, through the
president of their union, had ex-
pressed a willingness to submit
differences to arbitra ion of a
tribunal to be named by the
president and to enter into an
agreement to abide by terms
fixed by the arbltrators for
period of from one to tive years.
The employ ers, through the
presidents Of the railroad and
coal companies and leading in.
dependent mine operator, had
squarely refused arbitration, had
denounced the miners labor or
ganization as lawless, anarchist
body, with which they could and
would have dealings.
New York, Oct. 4.-The pres
ident of the anthracite coal rail
roads arrived here from Wash
ington on a special train today.
President Truesdale Of the Lack.

to add to the statement submit

from Chinese stringed instruments and
the noise OF the exploding Of thousands
OF fire crackers could be heard on
every hand The moment Chlnaman
rises from his knees after worship he
sets FIRE to his bunch Of crackers In
the belief that the clatter and din

hover about, and which angelic beings

away. The major portion OF these
New Year day prayers are devoted TO

swered correctly most questions was
a handsome bunch of lilies-of-the-val-
ley, or May bells, as the country peo-
pie call them.
On returning to the parlor. with
every sense pleased and gratified, af-
ter little informal music and much
more informal chatter Mrs. Gage rose
and begged attention. She announced
that duplicate whist would be the
order of the afternoon, or what was
left of it. She distributed cards cut
in the shape of a clover leaf, six tied
with white ribbons and six with green.
The white ribbons indicated question
cards, the green ones answers. The
solution of the conundrums would sat
isfactorily, if frivolously, settle the
mooted Question of "Who plays with
who?" These conundrums all proved
to have some relation TO the realm
of horticulture, and their solving
caused as much merriment as If the
guessers had been 8 years old, in
stead of and 80, some more-some
less.
What herb is most injurious to la
dies beauty? Thyme.
Why is green grass like a mouse?
Because the cattle eat it.
When is a note of hand like a rose
bud? When it is matured by falling
due.
What did Jack Frost say when he
kissed the roses? Wilt thou, and 1t
wilted.
Why is a widow like gardener?
Because she tries to get rid of her
weeds
At what age may a man he said to
belong to the vegetable kingdom?
When long experience has made him
sage
What is it that is queer about flow
ers? They shoot before they have
pistis.
Why is asparagus like most SER
mons? The end is the part the people
enjoy the most.
Why is a young lady like a sheaf
of wheat? She is first Graded, then
thrashed and finally become the flour
of the family.
What trade does the sun follow in
the month of May? The trade of ma
son MAY SUM.
Why is woman's age like a floral
wedding bell? 1t is never told.
Why is the letter A like a honey
suckle? Because a B follows 1t.
Duplicate whist followed, with all it's
solemnity and thought intricacies.
Before one could realize it the town
clock chimed out it's one-two-t three
four-five-six. A hurried departure
was inaugurated in the background of
which home duties, irate husbands and
censorious remarks about woman's
clubs menaced. Even this could not
deprive the delinquent members from
showering sincerest of congratulations
upon the happy hostess, who, in her
guests very apparent pleasure, thor
oughly felt repaid for her labor.

BIOLOGICAL UNTRUTH.
From Observations In The New
York Geological Park.

York Geological Park.
C. William Beebe, Curator of Ornithol-
ogy, in New York Tribune.
Truth is stranger than fiction" said
C. William Bebee curator of ornithol-
ogy, but nevertheless many people
cherish ideas which have arisen, no
body knows how, which tradition has
stamped with the aspect of truth but
which need only a little careful obser-
walton on our part to show their fall
sity. Any one listening to sundry re-
marks at the geological park in the
Bronx will soon realize how numerous
and how widely spread are these wrong
conceptions.
Probably ten or twenty people daily
Judging from the number heard-ex-
claim when they see the burrowing
owls: oh, those are the little crea-
lures which live so happily with the
prairie dogs and rattleSnakeS! Now,
it is true that the owls and rattlers
avail themselves of the deserted bur-
rows of the little rodents, but as to
living together in peace-peace could
exist only after the prairie dogs had
been devoured by the birds and reptiles,
after the young rattlers had formed
toothsome morsels for the owls, and
finally, when the owls themselves had
been swallowed by fullgrown snakes,
those scaly demons of the western
deserts.
Before leaving the subject of owls,
it would be we'll to say that these
birds, as family, are not wiser for all
their meditative appearance, than other
birds-in fact, they are far below many
in the scale of intelligence. Another
false idea which many people enter
tain concerning these birds is that they
NV tn he
practically blind during the day. Great
horned owls and barn owls are the
most nocturnal of all those in the park
collection, but even these can see very
distinctly by squirting up their eye
lids, while the snowy owls and bur-
rowing owls are perfectly at home in
the light of the brightest day, and |
have seen barred owls flying and hunt
ing in the sunshine as unconcernedly
as any hawk
Eight persons out of ten will tell
you how much better a crow or magpie
can talk if its tongue is split, but you
can tell them that this idea is abso
lutely false, as these birds can articu-
late more distinctly with a perfect
tongue, and how much suffering does
this useless operation cause, the
tongue of a bird being so constantly
used.
Doves have a worldwide reputation
for meekness and gentleness, but. if
we except their sad. soft notes, and
subdued colors, there is little to admire
about them, for their disposition. in
love and war; is anything but gen.
tie one. The male birds peck and strike
one another with their wings until
generally one succumbs and is killed.
If the females are timid or backyard
in accepting their mates attentions.
bows and coos are changed to buffets
and spiteful pecks. 'Henhawks!' is
the exclamation which usually greets
the inoffensive, red tailed, these birds
feed chiefly on mice. frogs, and even
insects, and the real depredators are
their smaller relations, the sharp-shin-
ned and coopers' hawks"
