De Glade herrl's Forenlns

Don't be frightened Ut the above
name 1t is only the way the Danes
talk when they want to tell You there
is such an organization as 1.-THE Jolly
Gentlemen's Club" in town. In re-
turn for the many pleasant evenings
given by the ladies Of the Multi So
cundi Club to the young men who
make up this club invitations were is
sued to about thirty fair young friends
to attend Watch party at tho home
of Orville Frazier. According to re-
quest each lady brought with her an
old fashioned hat, we'll they did, and
such an array of headgear was possi-
bly, never set eyes upon before. Some
of them looked as If they antedated
Noah's Ark. BY these hats the gentle
man selected their partners for lunch
which consisted of hard boiled eggs,
dough nuts, tooth picks and cold
water. When one of the gay gallants
apoliglzad FOR this amateur bachelor
repsst which was served upon paper
plates and tin cups, the young ladies
with true fl mmlne tact with one voice
declared that they had been served in
such courteous manner and with so
much gailantry that they had been
under the impression that nectar and
embrosia served on cut glass and
china had made up the meal.

hunting for peanuts Miss Sadie Bunce
was the most active and was awarded
a lovely box of bon bons. Mr. Carter
and Miss Ada Briggs received the
consolation prizes. A Desected Ro-
nance was made whole by fitting the
names of lately published books to
var GUS questions but the Romano Q
was not ad aloud as each gentleman
told the story for himself as he looked
into the eyes of tfie fair charmer that
he claimed as his partner and led her
into the DINING room which was 9
perfec poem, lovely, chaste, and de-
lightful in its harmony with the per-
fume of the carnation pinks and choice
tropical plants. Pink and white was
the colors. The girls we're perfectly
wild over this lovely surprise. A de
licious three course supper was served
by Misses FIszier and Dolby. After
dinner speeches were mode by the
officers of the two clubs represented
which overflowed with wit and bright
sayings.
The music given by q 'silent
quartette" was again and again en-
coled, Miss Dolby gave a num-
ter Of piano selections which were
much enjoyed. The gay company
lasted until q coupl. of hours
we're taken from the New Year.
It will not be the fault of the
young ladies If the hosts of the
evening are not considerably "puf.
fed up" over their venture as the
girls are simply over whelmine
them with compliments and words
of appreciation.

Watch Party.

Having Ascertained from the learn
ed astronomers, that TIE Old Year was
going to die, some whear near the site
of California junction, a crowd of our
jolliest young folks decided to seek q
good position where they could see tho
year of 1902 in the throes of death.
Yesterday they received wireless
telegraph message that the year of 1902
Was very near deaths door, and at its
bast, could not live later than ~ o'clock.
The sad news was soon passed from one
to the other, and by o'clock, about %
sad and sorrowing young forks gather
ed at the home of Miss Edna Fountain
and ordered garages to carry them to
the scene of action.
The fuuaral procession was soon on
its way, but judging from the sounds
emitted by the occupants of the
occupants, the carriagee seemed to
contain number of music boxes in
stead of crowd of mourners. 1t did
not take long to arrive at the destina-
ton which was at the pleasant home
of Andrew Coulthard. Having ar
rived, the hostess, Miss Margaret
Coulthard, soon made them feel at
home. The furniture soon disappear
ed from some of the rooms and dane
ing and games were endulge,i in until
late hour.
Alb ,ut noon of the night delicate
lunche IN was served and it is needless
to say each did justice to his portion.
Son etime in ths wee hours of morn
the Dung folks started for home hav-
ing Lad thu best time imaginable.
Surely no year ever enjoyed jolller
wake than did the year 1902.

SAFE AT HOME.
Prospectors for Whose Sake Warship

Washington, April "A dispatch from

pectors who were in peril in Honduras

Hanna asked that war ship be sent to
that country does not include all of the
persons set out in Senator Hanna's re-
quest upon which the navy department
acted. Owing TO the interruption Of
telegraph and cable communication the
government has not been able to obtain
direct information as to what is going
on in Honduras. Repeated efforts to COM
municate with Admiral Coghlin supposed
10 be al Puerto Cortez, have failed 1t
is known that the admiral had occasion
to land marines and it is not doubted
Chat he would hesitate TO send them
even 10 the capital Of the country, if it
we're necessary to protect the American
interests. There is no consul named
Campbell at Tegucigalpa and consequent
ly no such person could have been held
for ransom as reported. The state de-
partment has strong doubts at to
whether an American consul in that sec
ton of the world could command the
sum OF 5000 The consul at Teguci-
galpa is Alfred K Moe of New York.
He was last heard from about the mid
die of March. At that time the country
was in chaos. No mails were being car
ried nor were kilograms being transmit
ted although the government was &C
cepting them and collecting tolls. \
private report received here refers to a
most arbitrary act on the part of the
president OF Honduras in forcing the
Bank of Honduras to open its safe and
surrender 10000 pesos under penalty of
being looted This fact may be the
foundation for the report that the Amer
team consul has been subjected 10 tribute.
1t was also stated that the capital was
under martial law and that foreign resi-
dents were being badly treated by the
authorities. The collier Marcellus has
left Baltimore for Pueblo Cortez. Admiral
Coghiin having informed the navy de-
partment that his coal supply was low.
