 In the decorations everything was ar ranged in the most artistic manner. Evergreens. trailing bamboo. potted plants, and lovely flowers were in evil dence, and helped to make this beautiful home more beautiful.
 Mrs. Weedon read an interesting &C., count of the exercises at the breaking of the ground for the Continental Hall at Washington. The Penny Boxes" were opened. in which there was found to be $lS.sS. The hostess then gave to each a dainty little booklet in white and gold. containing question relating to the mar riage of George and Martha Washing ton. All entered enthusiastically into the contest, Mrs. w. l.. Mccormick and Mrs. l.. Y. Dean. Jr., tied for the prize Mrs. Dean winning by drawing the lucky number. After this, the guests were in- vited into the drawing room which was a vision of loveliness. The decorations were lovely white hyaclnths and maiden nAlr IernS III cEySul DoWlS.

Very Silly.

Flowers have always played an import- ant part in love magic. The leaves of the hemlock, dried and powdered and se- cretly mixed with the food or drink of the one whose affections were sought, was once looked upon as an infalIible recipe. The root of the male fern was like wise favorite ingredient for love philter. and a girl was supposed to have only to place a four leaved clover in a mans shoe to win his love forever.

THE RUSH BILL.

The decision of the supreme court
on the validity OF the Rush amend
ment is far reaching in effect, and
while upon the face of it it appears
TO carry with it only the greatest
benefits, the enemys of the bill see all
sorts of evils in its wake. The OPP
ponents of the measure threaten to
carry the matter tc the United States
supreme court, claiming that the fol-
lowing federal questions are involved; I;
'The taking OF property without
due processs of law.
''The abolishment of equal rights
of citizens.
1.-The carving out of separate gov
ernment by creating municipality
that votes its own laws independent
of the state government.
If the measure stands the test of the
federal courts it will bring about
the following happy results;
1.-The bill creates the city and
county of Denver out of the territory
OF the city of Denver and the towns
of Berkeley, Argo, Globeville, Elyria,
Montclair and Valverde.
"Gives absolute home rule in mu-
nicipal affairs to the city and county
of Denver and to such cities of the
first and second class in the state as
desire the power.
"Consolidates the twelve school
districts and parts of districts in the
city and county of Denver into one
school district, under the general
school laws of the state.
Gives complete power for acquir-
ing and operating public utilities,
such as water works, light plants, etc
Provides that no franchise shall be
granted except upon vote of the peo-
pie.
Provides that the departments of
fire and police. public works and pub.
lie utilities shall be under civil SER
vice.
"Consolidstes city and county
offices. making one set of officials in
stead of two, thus decreasing the
burden of taxation.
"Gives the people the right to make
their own charter and to amend the
same whenever they see fit.

ture from the turmoil of Denver local

Anniversary of Kaiser's Wedding


Berlin, Feb. 2S- Emperor William
and the empress celebrated the twenty
second anniversary of their wedding
today with large dinner at the
Schloss, at which the members of the
cabinet and other notables were pres
ent.
Prince Wilhelm was married to
Princess Victoria of Schleswig- Hols-
tein February 2S, 1881, seven years
before the former assembled the throne.
They have seven children, six sous and
one daughter, the Oldest being the
Grown Prince wilhelm, now in his
twenty first year. and the youngest
Princess Victoria Louise. who will
soon observe her eleventh birthday.
1t is pleasing to note, in view of the
royal scandals that so frequently agi-
tate the different courts of Europe,
that, no matter how bitter the criti-
cism directed towards the emperor S
political policy there can be nothing
but praise for his clean and wholesome
life and its complete freedom from
every trace of scandal since he led his
consort to the altar.
