Saturday Night Marked by Two
Surprise Parties.

A very enjoyable surprise was
given Mr.. John Stephens, the eff
cient superintendent of the water
works, Saturday evening. The oc-
casion was the fifty-ninth an
niversary of his birth. About seven
o'clock in the evening a number of
carriages containing Mr.. Stephens
friends and neighbors gathered at
the post office corner, and soon
afterwards proceeded out to the
home of the worthy superintendent,
where they took him by complete
surprise. The guests enjoyed a
general good time until the hour
grew late, and on their departure
presented Mr.. Stephens with a fine
reclining chair as a token of their
esteem
About the same hour, Fayette
Baldwin was agreeably surprised
by party of about thirty OF bis
friends, who laid siege to the house
and took possession Of it for
general good time. The event had
been planned by his mother to
celebrate his twentieth birthday.
Several of the invited guests were
unable to be present, but those in
attendance report a most enjoyable
time. The company was entertained
by the usual round of party festi-
vities, including music and a couple
of recitations by Miss Grace Walton,
of San Francisco, which were
excellently rendered.
