Messrs RoesS and welsh Entertain
at Cornell Friday Night.

The young society folks certainly
had one of the most thoroughly en-
joyable times imaginable Friday
night. The party was in the nature
of a house warming given by Mr..
E. c. Welsh and Mr.. VI. J. ROess at
their cottage at Cornell.
The party, composed of Mr..
and Mrs. William Hooker, Miss Daisy
Nurney, of Suffolk, Va, Misses Es-
Their Weathers, Mona Hitler, Emily
Ford, Sara Harris, Messrs. Stephen
Jewett, 5. F. Hitler, Neil Weathers,
T. II. Harris and DR.. W. Fl. Powers
started in two teams from the latter's
office at $50 O'Clock and the Ieight
mile drive to Cornell was an extreme
pleasant one. The crowd reached
their destination at ) O'Clock and the
two popular hosts. Messrs. ROess
and Welsh, welcomed their visitors
most heartily and turned over the en-
tire house from kitchen to attic to
their guests. Mr.. and Mrs. F. H.
Pashley assisted the gentlemen in en-
pertaining their guests.
The first part Of the evening was
spent in getting acquainted with the
cottage. the saw mill and in telling for
tunes, Mrs. Hooker, acting as fortune
teller, and in conversation and games.
An elegant picnic supper was
served in the dining hall at 1OO'clOck,
ample Justice being done to it by the
enthusiastic guests.
Two musicians having in the mean
time arrived, the rest of the evening
was spent in dancing, concluding
with an old time Virginia reel, in
dulged in by all the party.
At half past eleven the guests most
babe their hosts good
night, having had such royalty good
time that it was indeed hard TO tear
themselves away. They were in
measure compensated for the return
drive by the light of the moon, such
a moon as only Florida can boast,
which was delightful, and the drive
was made in little over an hour.

Mrs. NJ. H. Hatchell has for some
time past been making a big success
as proprietress of the DeWeese House
on Ocklawaha avenue, keeping the
house full of regular boarders, be-
sides taking care of a large number
of trancients. She has been steadily
making a number of improvements
and now has one of the most pleasant
places in the city for the rest of the
weary and the appeasement of the
hungry.
The name of the house will in future
be the Ocklawaha Inn. Mrs. Hatchen
has secured the services of a profess
sional cook and the cuisine of the
house is now equal to any to be found
in the state. The Inn is making
special rates to families who want to
take their meals out during the sum-
mer months.

Geological problem that want some
body TO solve. There i in the dane
ing liberties Of the sexes an.inherent
temptation and subtitle influence
which not only unspiritualizes profess
ed christians. but has led TO the dam
nation Of countless thousands. Now,
now can we remove an inherent evil
by changing from the half TO the
home? The change of position does
not stop the prOmiscuOus swinging Of
the sexes, where the evil lies. l. it
possible that the home is the imprOv-
ed press that can squeeze the inhe-
rent juice of carnality out of the
dance? Then by the same home press
We may purify other things that are
inherently evil. For instance, we
could take poison out of dram drink
ing and gambling out of playing
cards for cut glass!
3. / have been thinking of the case
with which Jacksonville MethOdists
can furnish a weekly budget of news.
Their district organ" is being sent
to me, 50 that l may know what is
doing in the metropolis.and all along
the coast. When I was editor of the
conference organ these news items
were few and far between; but our
city pastors are now demonstrating
the fact that they could have furnish
ed news every week! Well, there's
nothing like having 'Our own paper
and so / suggest that every district
have an organ, and every charge an
organ, and that these smaller organs
be mailed to the conference editor,
who can make up his weekly COM
posite. Thus the editor would never
lack for news. It must be remem-
bered, however, that my lines have
some irony in them.

millions of taxable values will be
added to the state. A ship canal

as a complete surprise one thousand
applications from volunteers already
had been received and the medical eX-
animation of the candidates had been
set for next week. The news created
something of a sensation at the festival
for the benefit of the Russian Red
Cross society, at which King Peter and
many persons distinguished in social
life We're present, but it did not inter
fere with the financial result of the

PREPARING FOR BUSINESS.
once of Surveyor of the Port Will Be
Located in Atlas Block.

J. J. Greenewald. the new surveyor
for the port OF salt Lake. has rented
an office in the Atlas block and is pre-
pairing to begin business as soon as his
commission arrives.
"As soon as the people understand
the advantages Of having Salt Lake a
port of delivery said Mr.. Greene
valid yesterday, Il expect there viii
be a large amount Of business for the
office here. In the past merchants and
others have been put TO great deal OF
trouble. For example, a package came
from foreign country to Governor
Wells by mail the other day. He was
notified by the postmaster that il must
be opened and the duty paid before it
could be delivered. AS the contents
were dutiable, it was necessary to send
clear To San Francisco and pay the
duty there before the package could be
released. When I begin my duties,
such cases can be handled here.
L expect the principal local mer-
chants will take advantage of the privi-
leges. At present they are obliged to
get goods through Denver, New York
or other ports OF entry. and usually are
obliged TO pay importers profits. These
will be cut out IL they import direct. -
