Surprise Party.

One Of the prettiest social affairs OF
the season was the surprise birthday
party given last night by Mrs. NJ. NJ.
Shores in celebration OF the twenty
first birthday of her daughter, Miss
Pearl Shores.
A large number OF the young lady s
friends were invited to be present at
the Shores home at eight O'Clock last
evening. OF course the invitations
were generally accepted. Miss Pearl
had been asked to take supper with a
young lady friend who was assisting
Mrs. Shores in the entertainment
When the young ladies returned to
the Shores home at a later hour they
found ths parlors filled with young
people and Miss Pearl was completely
taken by surprise.
Progressive finch was enjoyed. and
there were manv other pastimes of a
delightful nature. An elegant lunch
con was served in charming style.
The parlors were attractively dec
GRATED.
There were perhaps forty young
people preseat. The party was a fit
ting and joyous celebration of a
young lady's birthday anniversary.

LOTS OF BUSINESS.

The closing session of the Fifty
eigth Congress. which opened yester-
day, has enough business before it
to occupy twice the three months
time that will elapse before its final
adjournment on March 4, but there
is little probability that new legisla-
tion will be taken up. The amount
of unfinished business ON hand is con-
siderable. and this. with the passage
of the annual appropriation bills.
will be about all the law makers can
attend to unless their usual deliberate
methods are modified.
In the Senate the present session in
herits from the former one the bill
already passed by the House providing
for the construction or railroads in
the Philippines by guarantee of a
five per cent income on the money
invested. The bill also provl des for
issuing Philippine bonds or other in
terna! improvements in the islands,
and in several other particulars
mends the Philippine laws passed by
Congress. Another measure concern
ing our insular possessions is the one
advocated by the President and Sec
rotary provided for material reduc-
tion of the duty ON sugar. tobacco and
other Philippine products import
ed into this country. This bill will
encounter strong opposition for the
sugar and tobacco interests. which
have been strong enough to defeat It
in the past. But the Cuban reci-
prooity treaty is a reminder that
President Roosevelt is capable of put
ting up a successful fight. even
against SO formidable antagonists
as the Sugar trusts.
The statehood bill. providing Tor
the admission of the four territories
as two states. is still unfinished buii-
ness, and as most of the western
members are opposed to doubling up
their territories in this manner a fight |
ID likely to be made for separate ad- |
mission. with the probable result |
that the present bill will be defeated.
The impeachment against Judge |
II -
court. is to come up for considera-
tion on December 10. This matter
will probably continue over to the
noxt Congress. as will also the Reed
Smoot case. the evidence in which
is so voluminous that the Senate can
hardly complete it in time to reach a
final vote at this session.
The list of unfinished business
includes also tho merchant marine
matter, Chinese exclusion. amendment
of the immigration laws. bills for the
protection of the President and those
in line of succession and currency leg
islation. There will be plenty of
talk but no action on the reduction of
the representation of the Southern
states because of the disfranch isement
of the negroes, and the same will
be true OF the trust ques-
ton. The question of tariff revision
is one of such magnitude and will
require so much time for debate
that if it is take up at all will
probably be at an extra session. -
