The Spreckels M1-Careme ball, al
though an undeniable success, both
last year when it was inaugurated and
this year when its prestige was further
insured, is not a popular function. :"
The comparatively few who were pres
ent and who had probably far better
time because this ball comes when
balls are rare, stand up for the
HSpreckels oasis.'' but the rest frown
on the festivity and declare that mid
Lent gaiety may be in vogue abroad,
it can never obtain favor here.
But the bali was brilliant, with the
gay colors of fancy dress and the gor-
geous tints of carnival colors.
Lily Spreckels, as a very fascinating
little devil in crimson satin with black
devils dancing about her skirt and
lowering around her bodice, was as
tempting as His Satanic Majesty could
ever hope to be, and so when it was
time to say adieu nobody said it,
which made the ball late affair. Her
sister, Grace, wore a costume which
was artistically designed; it was vel
low, with touches of green, the skirt
and waist ornamented with horses
heads, wheels and caps. A becoming
jockey. cap and leather boots added
the finishing touch to very jaunty
figure
OF course the usual happened and
Ethyl Hager's costume was the most
original in the bali room. She appear
ed inside of a perfect imitation of
light house. which had a small window
in front through which she looked out.
A bird cage hung near a pot of flowers
by her window. The lighthouse had
an electric light which shone bright
enough to delight the heart of any
sailor. And when Miss Hager emery
ed from her abode, the aforesaid heart
would have been still further trans
ported for she was in bathing suit

in fact very generous in abbreviation
MRS. PAUL NEUMANN.
Mrs. Paul Neumann was seated near
Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin, who were in con-
ventional evening dress. Mrs. Neu-
mann, however, wore beautiful lace
mantilla and with her black eyes and
clear skin made a beautiful picture OF
a Spanish lady.
Mrs. w G. Irwin looked very hand
some in black and white gown, with
her exquisite pearls about her neck.
Before supper the attentions of much
man whom she thought |
she recognized as a well known bank
er, rather annoyed her by their mark
ed persistence, and her amazement was
funny when a hearty burst of laughter
revealed to her-her own husband. |
Mr.. Irwin had put himself in the hands |

engaged for the evening by Mr.. ]. D. |

who might be seized with the infec- |
tious carnival spirit.

that he wore at the Mardi Gras ball
in Honolulu while he was there.
| His sister, Mrs. Horace Blanchard
Chase, who made many friends in Ho-
nolulu while she occupied her cottage
at Waikiki, wore a blue domino and
looked her best when she unmasked
and astonished few dazzled men with
her identity. Mrs. Chase gave an Irish
dinner on st. Patriclx's day. Every
thing was in green, even TO the guests,

GLADYS MERRILLs WEDDING.
There was no doubt about the pop
ularity of the other event of the week.
Gladys Merrill's wedding, for both
Mr.. and Mrs. Merrill are beloved in the
community where in every circle their
wide spread charity,-charity of both
word and deeds recognized. Gladys
was as pretty bride as one would ever
hope to see. with her dark eyes Shin
ing like stars and her pink cheeks
glowing richly with excitement and
happiness. This boy and girl love
affair, begun when they were at school.
eliminating In an engagement four
years ago when they were stin scarcely
more than children has interested San
Francisco; and If happiness does not
come in full measure to the Bates
n1enage. surely all the traditions are at
fault No San Francisco bride-to-be
has had larger number OF engage
ment cups than Gladys Merrill and her
wedding presents were numerous and
costly.
Sherlock Holmes has crowded the
Columbia for two weeks and Sherlock,
or william Gillette. who impersonates
him. has won the hearts Of the women
while the men are more than satisfied
with the famous detective thus brought
before them. Everybody who has read
Conan Doyle's fascinating stories has
formed a picture Of the hero-detective,
with his wondrous methods Of deduc-
ton, but no one is disappointed when
Gillette walks on the stage. The strik-
ing quiet Of his acting. his sudden mys-
FERROUS smile. the interpretive eye,
and then the contrast of quick, express
sive fash, and perhaps above all his
exquisite, supple hands that seem to
speak with each motion, has gone to-
wards making Gillette an international
success.
The story, dramatized by the actor,
is a new one written by Conan Doyle
expressly for Gillette It is quite as
interesting and thrilling as any OF the
old, we'll known tales and has pretty
love story which leaves the great de-
tective, when the curtain finally falls,
with his sweetheart folded in his arms,
d wealth of tenderness in his gesture,
in his smile and in the depths Of his
handsome, eloquent eyes. No wonder
the women all are in love with Gillette.
By the way, the rising and falling Of
the curtain all through this play, adds
to the weirdness and subtle methods
that cling to the personality Of Sher-
lock Holmes. Pitch darkness. then
slow, mysterious shadowy effects,
changing to soft mellow light, reveal
ing at last the stage and characters

perience. 1t is no experiment to use Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the
cure of womanly ills. Experience-the

Mcdonald on Insanity.

A dispatch from Washington D. G..
dated last week, stated that "a large
number of Presbyterians in Western
Pennsylvania appear to be taking deep
interest in the scientific writings of DR..
Arthur Mcdonald, the scientist, who
declared that AUTOMOBILES contribute
very largely to the cause for the increase
of insanity and other forms of abnorm-
ality.
Representative Acheson received peti-
tions from the Presbyteries of Redstone
and Butler asking that the Government
print, as Government document sever
al thousand copies of Dr. McDonald's Is
book ON the Experimental Study of
Children. Mr.. Acheson needed the re-
quest of the petitioners by Offering a
resolution asking that $4,000 copies of
the book be printed.
If the resolution ever comes before
the House it will probably be over
whelmipgly defeated because of the
doctors way of studying neurotics.
Some years ago he inserted advertise
ments in the newspapers asking for cor
respondence, ''object matrimony." He
took the letters of the weak minded
persons of both sexes and wrote book
on the subject. Scientific men and
newspapers criticised the method vigor-
ously. They claimed that the methods
were unscientific and that the deduc-
tions the doctor made were of absolute
ly no scientific value
The scientists employed by the Gov
ernment speak sneeringly of the report
he made to Congress about the causes of
abnormalities, and the Bureau of Edu-
cation objects 10 having him connected
any longer with that bureau.

field.

The Duquesne Fireproofing Company
formed by Pittsburgers some time ago
has completed at West Winfield, q
thoroughly modern plant, which pro
vides for radical innovations in the
manufacture of sewer pipe and brick
The plant is arranged and equipped tc
operate under continuous system, like
the more modern steel mills. In the
process the material passes from one
piece of machinery to another, till il
comes out in completed form, without
rehandling
The plant was designed by George Fl.
Albertson of Pittsburg, associated fol
years with Booth & Finn in their brick
works, and of many years experience
in clay manufacture. The operation of
the entire plant is almost automatic. 1t
will be started within a short time.
Later on the company will erect addi-
tional works for the manufacture of
fireproofng conduits. The product of
the works as now constructed will be
sewer pipe and ''front" brick.
The officers of the company, which
will have headquarters in Pittsburg,
will shortly make an inspection Of the
plant during the first days of its opera

The WOman'S Choice.
Will She Choose DR.. Expert
ment or DR.. Experience?

Put the question plainly to any woman:
Will you choose the experienced or the
experimenting doctor? and there's no
doubt about the answer What woman
wants to be the subject of experiments,
to drag out weary months while the
unskilled practitioner vainly tries various
medicines, and charges the sick woman
literally for his experimental failures?
Yet willing or unwilling great many
women have to go through just such an
ordeal. Their disease battles the local
physician. He tries all he knows to
effect cure and fails. Sometimes this

CURRENT EVENTS.

The government of Columbia, S. A
suddenly agreed to the Canal treaty
last week and it was signed by he
representative in Washington, and sen
to the Senate for confirmation
The instrument provides for the pay
ment of SO, 900, 900 and for rent, tt
begin after the expiration of nine years
(. of $e5o.O00 yearly. Colombia wanted
$3.50. 900. These terms, are liberal ou'
not extravagant. The country undei
the treaty will not be paying more tol
the concession than, all things consider
ed. it is worth The proposition ac-
cepted by Colombia is that of the
United States, with the exception OF
the rental, which is compromise
The treaty should be ratified at once
and work begun, but like the lmmigra-
tion and other bills and the Cuban
treaty it may be held up by the contest
over the bill admitting New Mexico
and Arizona as States, which Is being
championed by Senator Quay, and
which is favored by few Republicans
and by all the Democrats of the Sen
ate.
The bill, however is such undesirable
legislation on account of the sparseness
of the population of the vast sand-Danks
and their mixed nationality and char
acter, that the majority of the Republi-
cans of the Senate are sturdily opposing
ii, and under the rules, or absence OF
rules. the debate cannot be curtailed,
and may continue to the end OF the reg
ular session, March 4th, and necessitate
the calling of an extra session for the
consideration of the treaties.
One theory for Quay's course in the
premises is that he is deliberately delay
ing action on the Trust, immigration and
some other bills that are obnoxious to
some of the great corporations, and an
other is that his entire effort is to Sc
cure seat in the Senate for ex-State
Senator Andrews of Crawford county,
who has located in New Mexico, but be
the reason what it may, the humbug-
gerry in the u. S. Senate is gradually
becoming more and more apparent to
the people of the Nation.
What change in the personer of this
Senate, the election of its members by
the popular vote would make!
Nineteen-thousand freight cars were
moved in the Pittsburg district last
Sunday, and still all the railroads are
more or less clogged, Notwithstanding
the general dullness of business.
The manufactures are busy and
every transportation line is taxed to its
utmost Prices are being maintained,
railway earnings are increasing, and if
there were enough coal and cars and
locomotives commercial conditions
would be unparalleled. The Penn'a.
Co. is making ready for tremendous i'm
provements, and the easiness of the
money market is shown by the fact
it had no trouble borrowing $35, 900, 600
at Al per cent.
The bombardment of For SAINT Carlos.
