The Anderson Silver Wedding Anniversary

| The silver wedding anniversary
given by Mr.. and Mrs. c. j. Anderson
at their beautiful home, cottage
Heights,) on the Sth instant, was the
social event of the season. The inyi-
tations that were issued stated i D. m.
as the hour of arrival, but long ere
this, regardless of inclemencies of the
weather many of the guests were pres
ent and engaging, to the extent OF all
anticipations, in the festivities which
they found awaiting them and which
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson never fail to
supply when they have promised
them. By the time for arrival the
house was crowded almost to its ca
pacity. and had the weather been at
its best for day in May, there would
have been scarcely room for all, many
being present from a distance.
After all having arrived and enjoy
ed each a hearty exchange of congrat-
ulations with our host and hostess for
having reached as honorable a period
in their life of union and love Iogeth-
er, we were invited out to the dining
room hall and there enjoyed one of the
most beautifully spread feasts it has
been our good fortune to partake of.
Certainly no time nor care had been
spared in selecting SO many dainties
and sweet meats for the satisfying of
the inner man, and in spreading such
table.
After feasting and jolly making for
two hours or more the guests repaired
to the drawing rooms where we spent
the remainder of the day in chatting,
games and music And long ere we
expected it the close of day began
drawing near. so with many good
wishes of host and hostess future well |
fare, and hoping that they may see
their golden wedding anniversary |
dawn and close just as brightly and |
beautifully as the present one, we re-

25th is us follows:
THE eneny's squadron OF sixteen
warships approached from the Dalny
side toward the harbor of Port Arthur
about IL o'clock this morning, and at
once opened fired on our three cruisers
outside the roadstead namely. the Ask
old. the Bayan and the Novik, and
also against the land forts. The bonn
bardment lasted half an hour. At the
conclusion our cruisers retired into the
harbor. The enemy then bombarded
one land battery for several minutes.
Then the enemy also retreated. remain
ing out of the range of our guns.
''In the meanwhile. four japanese
cruisers separated from the enemy's
main squadron and went into Golubins-
ja bay, where they opened heavy fire
on one of our torpedo boats stationed
in the bay, and also on the coast bat
teries. Consequently the commander
of the fort sent troops to this point,
but no landing took place. The COM
hardment there lasted twenty-five min
utes. at the expiration OF which the
Japanese cruisers retreated. The loss
on our side this day was one man

early in the morning. ten Of the enc
my's ships were seen south of the Is
lands. They disappeared on the hori-
zon In the evening"
New York, Feb. 26.-The Herald
publishes the following from Its Lon
don correspondent:
Strategists apparently are satisfied
that the japanese have landed at Pos
slet bay and that their object is to
either attack Vladivostock or threaten
Kiran, Hardin and the Russian COM
munications generally. Military men In
Berlin scout the report of a landing,
pointing out that the garrison at Hun
chun is reported to consist of two regl-
ments, and that they would not have
fed without firing shot
General Plugs report that eleven
japanese warships had been seen of
Vladivostock tends to strengthen the
reported landing at Possiet. Possiet
bay is a good harbor but in winter ii
freezes for five miles from shore. 1t is
fortified and formerly, at least, was an
important military post, as high as
10000 men having been kept there dur
ing 1894. the year Of the Japanese-Chi-
nese war. The Notifications alone call
for a good-sized garrison. II the Jap
anese have landed there. they must be
credited with daring bit OF strategy.
