of this decision almost resulted in the ladies
kissing each other for joy, the absence OF any
gentlemen only prevented the explosion.
The question of ''unknown' correspon-
dents up and was laid on the table for
future action, after considerable discussion.
1t could be seen however, that the feeling was
very bitter against the government allowing
such actions, and it was the sense of the
meeting that a committee be appointed to
wait on Postmaster Noyes and request him
to turn over to the association any letters
written by Idaho Springs gentlemen to ladies
not living in this city. 1t was finally decided
to appoint a committee of two, one to call
on Attorney COLON, the other on Attorney
Smith, and enquire to the legality of the
proposed action.
A lengthy discussion followed as to
whether lady should be allowed to ask a
gentleman for marriage or not. This came
near breaking the meeting up in a rough
house, but it was finally decided that if a
gentleman called on lady three times of his
own free will she might do so, by decisive
vote of twelve to three, the chair and one other
not voting-the member not voting because
her amendment barring grass-widowers be-
ing considered as Legislation against class.
The finally climax was brought about by
one of the members thoughtless asking,
''Should lady accept a proposal when she
had another in view with glowing assurances
that worth dollars to cents to the one
proposing" The discussion became so fast
and furious that all came to talk at one and
the same time, and now none know what side
anyone else argued, or what they themselves
really advocated. In fact this ended the meet
ing in such confusion that no date was set or
thought of for the next meeting-leaving sew
era1 dangerous committees free wills to fol-
low up their commission without reporting,
and worse of all, most proplexing question
lying on the table. At last reports the presi-
dent and secretary was in wrangle, protest
ing the rights of the other to call meeting.

evening. After refreshments were served

The Old Maids association of this city
held rather important and interesting
meeting last week, at which many important
subjects were brought before the assembly
and discussed intelligently, and at times
rather earnestly, though no hair pulling con-
test resulted least such an affair has not
been reported to the city marshal.
Some say the meeting took place toward
the ''wee hours of morn" when the withes
were holding their revelry; while others, as
well posted, claim that the meeting opened
with that beautiful, but mournfu1 song:
'T aweary, aweary
For he cometh not
He cometh nct'
The first subject brought before the
meeting was that of taxing old bachelors, in
which some of the mem bers of our legislature
were mentioned in tones both sweet and
musical. 1t was the opinion of some, and
finally put in the form of motion, "That old
bachelors should be taxed for five years. after
which time, if they failed to marry, they
should be transported beyond the Northern
seas" This started lively discussion, some
taking the stand that after five years of taxa
ton the old bachelor should be put to the rack
and tortured until he either gave up the ghost
or surrendered, which was put to the meet
ing an amendment to the preceding motion.
Some sustained the original motion, and sug
gested that committee of one be appointed
to call on A. j. Ventress and learn where the
transportation scheme would land old bache-
1ors; while still others thought that after five
years taxation, the poor fellows property
should be confscated, and suggested that
committee of one be appointed to call
Alderman Coddington and ask him to present
such ordinance to the city council, but as
a wrangle arose as to who this committee
should be it not put amendment. 1t
was finally resolved to torture old bachelors
by vote of eleven to five, the president not
voting.
Another subject which called forth con-
siderable argument on one side only, was that
of allowing engaged bachelors such liberties
and lengths of time before the finally act of
matrimony. This discussion ended by un-
animous vote that after engagement no longer
than three weeks be given the bachelor to free
himself from all former tangles. The result

Sister of District Commissioner Mac.
farland Passes Away.

Miss Isabelle mcfarland, only daughter
of the late Joseph Mcfarland. and sister Of
Commissioner mcfarland, passed away
early this morning at her mothers resi-
dence 1927 F street. Never robust Miss
Mcfarland had been in increasing ill-health
for years, and had failed steadily during the
past year. Since her return five weeks ago

mother she spent her summers she grad
ually grew weaker until the end came. Her
mother and her brother. Commissioner Mac
farland. were with her but another brother,
Lieut.. Horace Macfarland. L. s. N, was
absent. He is on his way home from the

The family relations have been particu-
larly close since the death of the father in
1876, and all We're especially devoted to the
only daughter and sister. so that the loss is
keenly felt Expressions of sorrow and SYM
pathy are coming to the family from all
quarters and especially from the many
friends who loved and admired Miss Mac
farland. Although her delicate health ham,
pered her activities and prevented her from
having the literary career for which she
was fitted by ability and cultivation, she
was enabled to do much for others in
Christian work. as well as in social life.
She was a member of the Church of the
Covenant and devoted herself chiefly TO the
work of its Georgetown mission, among the
Door and she will have no more sincere
mourners than there. Her noble spirit made
her body serve In tender and helpful minis
tries, and she lived not only the intellec-
tual but the spiritual life
Miss Mcfarland had a serene faith, a
staadfast courage to the very end, and was
an inspiration to her family and her friends,
showing always sympathy and thoughtful
ness
