The Nonsense Club.

Miss Marie Brewer entertained the
n Nonsense club at a tea Tuesday even
ing, Nov. Is.
On entering the diningroom the
guests were greeted by the sight Of a
beautifully decorated table, the center
piece Of asparagus fern surrounded by
hearts, while large heart pierced by
dart was suspended aboveit.
An arm chair at the head OF the Ia
BILE was festooned with white ribbons
and adorned with a profusion of arti-
Giles emblamatic of coming event-a
cluster OF white roses, old shoes filled
with rice, hearts, etc surmounted by
picture of Cupid breaking his bow.
From one arm of the chair hung
huge cow bell which added its musical
ding-dong to the merry laughter of the
company. In this seat the guest of
honor, Miss Florence Fitzpatrick, was
enthrone1, while the other Nonsenses
found their places designated by name
cards in the form of wedding bells
bearing portraits OF sweethearts and
suitably inscribed.
The following menu but family pic
lures the delicious perfection OF each
dainty course:
S llmon Salad Waters
White Bread Brown Bread
Escalloped Oysters Saratoga Chips
Pear Consomme Mustard Pickles
Jerusalem Pudding
Fruit Bon Bons
Coffee Grape Juice
During the hour pretty verses were
qSoted and conumdrums propounded,
all relating to the subject Of the even
ing. And letter from an absent
member was read.
The favors presented by the hostess
were tiny bottles of perfume. Miss
Fitzpatrick was given a bell.shaped
cook book to which each Nonsenser
had contributed her favorlte recipe for
pudding, the study of this important
delicacy having been the most popular
subject Of the club.
After drinking the health Of the
prospective bride, the club adjourned
to the parlors where an exciting "swap
exchange" was conducted followed by
games, and music by the Nonsense
orchestra.
On their departure special guard
was detailed from the ranks Of the
Nonsense club to escort Miss Kilpat.

FORDNEY OR SMITH.
LIKELY TO GO ON WAYS AND
MEANS OMMlTTEE.
Former Is a Close Friend of Speaker
To-Be Cannon.
From the petroit journal:

From the Detroit Journal:
Washington, Nov. 17.-Rep Joseph
W. Fordney, of Michigan, will fare well
in the reorganization of the next house
under Joseph G.. Cannon, who will be
elected speaker. Mr.. Fordney is on
very friendly terms with Cannon. He
has proved himself a quiet, business-like
legislator and has earned the respect of
the workers in the house and the conf
dence of Mr.. Cannon.
BY the retirement of Rep. Steel of In
diana, Michigan, is in position, terri
torially, to ask for a place on the COM
mittee on ways and means. There are
three vacancies on this committee,
which will have charge of framing
tariff legislation in the next congress-
One is caused by the death of Russell,
of Connecticut, but New England will
get this. Another will result from the
election of Hopkins, of Illinois, to the
senate, but Illinois will get this. 1t
may go to Lorimer. Steele, of Indiana,
was beaten and the Hoosiers wanted to
keep the place, but as Hemenway. of
Indiana, will become chairman of the
committee on appropriation, it will not
receive the other good place.
William Alden Smith will ask for the
vacancy on ways and means. 1t has
been his ambition for years AS can
didate for senator to succeed Burrows,
holding so prominent place in tariff
legislation would greatly increase his
prestige. Mr.. Burrows is on the finance
committee in the senate.
If Mr. Fordney asks for place on the
ways and means, it is extremely likely
that it would require something more.
than the dictum of the Michigan delega-
ton caucus to settle the matter. Cannon
will pick out his own ways and means
committee, and between Fordney and
Smith there are reasons why he should
prefer Fordney.
Rep. Hamilton will get q promotion.
He is second man on territories, and
there is no promotion there unless Knox
should take something else. Hamilton,
most likely, will be given a small
Craftsmanship. Gardner recently was
honored with a place on appropriations,
and he will get nothing else. Bishop is
well fixed on rivers and harbors. and
with minor craftsmanship.
On account of retirements and changes
and other reasons, Sam w. Smith may
be close to the Craftsmanship of the com
mittee on District of Columbia. This is
big job, and he may not care for it, or
may not be able TO get it. If not, he
should get a small Craftsmanship. Oar
ragh will change his committee assign
ments, and if he cares toask ii can have
something pretty good OF the four
new republican congressman their com
mittee assignments probably will be
decided upon in caucus.

1t is matter of good business judg-
ment to vote the $4,000 bonus for the
beet sugar plant at the coming special
election. The tax is so small upon the
individual tax payer that no one would
ever be burdened to pay the same-the
rate being but so 2-5 cents upon an as
sessment of $1,000. The county tax
paid by the sugar plant would pay the
entire cost-bonus, interest and election
expenses within few years, after
which the county and State tax will be
made smaller each year to every tax
payer in the county by the amount paid
by the Sugar Co. Vote for, the loan.

Even if it if after election it is not

an example of what they would have
been receiving at this time had the Brys

dollars day think that if Bryan had

would not buy as much of the things he

than it does in the Philippines today.

own interests instead of for those of his

Coming Romeo and Juliet.

The following is from the Escana-
ba, Mich, Daily Mirror of Oct. 80,
1902:
Simvelle's scenic production Of
Shakespeare immortal tragedy OF
love and passion, Romeo and Juliet,
was given very creditable produc-
ton at Peterson's opera house last
evening to large audience. The
story of Romeo and Juliet is too
we'll known for repetition here; suf-
flee it to say that it is a story of
love. The scene is laid in Verona
and there are six acts and thirteen
scenes. The acting of the company
was on the whole quite good
and the play gave good satisfaction.
The part of Romeo was well por-
trayed by Edouard D'Oize, his acting
being real and natural. Miss Mamie
Lorrimer as Juliet was a sweet
creature and her portrayal of the
girl sweetheart was exceptionally
good and the audience was enrap.
tured over her grace and beauty.
John Arthur was a good Mercutic
and Tybalt was well played by
Charles Carver.
AS whole the production was a
very creditable one and the applause
received was merited. The scenery
used by the company was quite
above the ordinary-every piece
used in the play being carried.

day, Dec. 3, 1902.

That Widows Mite.

'"That story of the widows mite does
more harm than good, l believe" says
church worker. who has seen the
idiosyncrascles of many good people.
'"The inference that people draw from
it is that there is virtue in mites, and
they give mites from their own album
dance, forgetting that the poor widow
of the Bible story gave all that she
had. [ am inclined to believe that this
must be one reason that church work
of all kinds is SO poorly supported.
People give generously everywhere be-
fore they remember the church. They
expect to pay for what they get every
where outside, but in the church they
want to get as much as they can for
the least possible outlay. New York
