OF
THE Y. W. c. A.
The Lunch Room Pays for Itself
But Gives No
Profits.

Among the reports read at the annual
meeting of the Y. w. c. A, on Monday
evening, none indicated the prosperity
of the Association more than the finan-
cial statement which gave a cash bal
ance of $3.50. The total receipts were
about $4,000. and the expenses were nee
%essarily large owing to the additions
and improvements in the quarters,
which now take in half of the entire
upper floor of the Boston block. The
lunch room was operated at a cost of
ABOUT 1920, with receipts 50 in excess
OF n amount. This ROOM, which is
conducted as a benefit to the members,
is not a money-making feature, the plan
being to make the and re-
ceipts balance at the end of each year.

Mrs. Brown, the general secretary, in
her report says: Many and great are
the constant demands upon ones love
and sympathy. Hardly a day passes
without it's story of trouble and loneli-
ness. Very few prove unworthy of our
confidence and many are real heroines
in the courage they show in fighting the
battles of everyday life, and it becomes
no duty but a privilege to cheer them
onward with IL love, our sympathy
and our friendship.
The new chairmen of committees for

A Marriage In rersIs.

Before dinner Is served the bride
goes to the bath accompanied by fe-
male relatives and friends. At night,
ms the procession of the bridegroom
approaches, aims are distributed, and
women and children look on from
neighboring roofs. Loud cries from
the women welcome the bridegroom
on his arrival, while the bride, care
fully veiled, mounts the horse await
ing her at the door, All the men who
have been feasted and entertained Join
In the procession, in which lanterns
are borne. The brides departure is the
signal for the discharge Of fireworks
and a great beating Of the big drum.
The final ceremony is similar to one
observed by the Arabs and the Copts-
namely, the sacrifice Of sheep. These
are killed as the bride steps over the
threshold Of her new home.
One wonders what the idea is under
lying the sacrifices. Are they intended
as acts of propitiation inherited from
an earlier age, when people thus en-
deavored ito appease the anger Of the
gods" or Of the spirits Of their all
cestors? Or is 1t merely way of seal
ing in blood an important act and
covenant?-Woman's Home Compan-

A simple yet popular adornment for
the neck is broad straight band OF

with the costume is worn, but usually
the band Is Of white or black.
The latest novelty in skirt trimming
Is to border the edge with a band Of

IndestructibiIity of Cedar.

The resistance of cedar wood to de-
cay has long been famous, and cedar
fenceposts often last for generations.
A remarkable instance of the indie
structibility Of cedar has been noted
in the state Of Washington, where n
forest Of hemlocks near Acme has
grown up over an ancient buried forest
of cedars The trunks Of cedar. al
though lying in moist soil, have been
almost perfectly preserved for at least
$50 years. the length of time that the
rings Of growth show the hemlocks to

predecessors.

st. Paul, Feb. 25.-The announcement
of the United States supreme courts de-
cision against the application Of the state
of Minnesota for leave to file a suit
against the Northern Securities company
was received in this city today without
surprise. President Hill Of the Northern
Securities company refused to discuss the
opinion of the court, contenting himself
with the remark that it was no more than
he had anticipated. Governor Van SAINT
was not inclined to express an opinion on
the matter and Attorney General Dougla;
was also averse to saying anything. 1t Is
known, however, since the announcement
by United States Attorney General Knox
that he would bring suit against the
Northern Securities company under the
Sherman act, the state officials here have
looked for just such decision as thai
now announced by the United States su
preme court. Such action by the fedora
officials will not be allowed TO stop fur
the action by the state Of Minnesota
but no definite announcement has YET
been made as to the form such proceed
ings will take.

ASSAY OFFICES BLOWN UP MEMS OF THE WHOLE RDFRE FIGHT N The SENATE
CRIPPLE CREEK, COLORADO.
several Assay offices Doing Business
in the District Were Blown Up by
Dynamite-Much Damage Done
Several Persons Blown Out of Bed
Cause of Trouble.

Victor, Col, Feb. 25.-Cripple Creek is
in state of terror, owing to a precon-
certed attack upon assay offices doing
business in the district. Beginning at 3
O'clock in the morning and following in
npid succession six explosions wrecked
as many assay offices in Victor, Cripple
Creek and Gold Field. The raiders did
not hesitate to jeopardize life, as all but
one of the buildings were occupied by
sleeping families. Men, women and chill
dren were hurled out of their beds by the
shocks and serious injuries inflicted The
full extent of the damage can not be esti-
mated.
| In this city the Davenport office was
wrecked by two explosions, involving a
loss of $500. Almost at the same time
the assay offices of Vanderwalker, Nor
gan and Williams were similarly de-
stroyed. The loss was approximately as
large as at Davenport's. A miner was
passing Williams office at the moment
of the explosion. Flying debris struck
him in the face, gashing his eyes, and may
result in total blindness.
In Cripple Creek Benjamin's assay
office, located on Exina street, north Of the
Florence & Cripple Creek depot, was
blown up, but was only partially wrecked.
In the town of Gold Field, about mile
and half north of here, almost stimuli
taneously Boyce's and Swinehart's offices
were blown up. Mrs. Boyce was blown
out of bed, but escaped without fatal in
juries.
family living in the other assay office
was also blown out OF bed, but fortunately
| escaped serious injury. The giant pow
der was blown through the windows at
Gold Fields.
In this city the powder was placed un-
der the building. The house in which a
family lived next to Williams assay office
here was much damaged and woman
was prostrated by the shock and is at
present hysterical.
Sheriff Robertson has called his depu-
ties, and his force is taking all means to
discover if possible the perpetrators of the
crimes.
The general impression here this morn
, ing is that the acts are the result OF a
general movement to rid the district of all
institutions which buy high grade ore in
small quantities. The big mines of the
district, it is alleged, have been systemati-
cally robbed of much rich ore, and so to
100 assayers, it is said, have made hand
some profits by dealing in this ore. The
