CHARMING AFFAIR.
Social Season Opened With A De-
lightful Affair of Note.

Nearly forty invitations were
accepted for last Friday evening
when the elegant home of Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. II. Carlson was thrown
open-and most merry and
sociable evening was spent by
those assembled.
The invitations stated "progres-
sive pedro and the pretty rooms,
elaborately Hower-bedecked, were
comfortable filled by the many
tables. The playing was at times
fast and urious-although at times
more attention was given to con-
versational topics than to the game.
In all, ten games were played at
each table and the winners were
soon decided by a committee. First
prize winners were Nr. Currier and
Mrs. Joseph Bickner: BOBBY prize
winners were Mr.. Bailey and Miss
Dunn. All the prizes were rich
and apropos.
Refreshments of most toothsome
sort were served by the daughters
of the host and hostess--and their
aids: and everything about the
lunch was delicious and dainty.
Among those present were seen
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Bickner, Mr..
and Mrs. n. w. Brice, Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. II. Chambers, Mr.. and
Mrs X. Currier, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jesse Hurlbert, Mr.. and Mrs.

Just prior to the general de-
parture music was given and several
lancers enjoyed a fifteen minutes
pleasure. The entire affair was one

EDWARDS WINS.
Councilmen Will Now Kiss And
Make Up As There's No Appeal.

{. ID. Edwards is a regular mem
Der of the city council of St. Johns
The case of Mr.. Edwards has
drawn much attention from the
territory contiguous to St. Johns
and advertising both good and bad
has resulted. For a time-before
the matter was taken to the court
for decision-the advertising St.
Johns had was not of the best:
since the matter has been in the
court, however, matters have
quieted down and all business has
progressed-always, it was con-
sidered by some, with a view that
Edwards might be declared a non
member and the decision made re-
troactive.
Facts are well-known about the
matter. Mr.. Edwards ceased to be
a free-holder by selling his property.
He placed his resignation in the
hands of Mayor W. II. King who
accepted it and gave it to the city
recorder. At the first council meet
ing thereafter Edwards withdrew
his resignation, the vote standing
four Counting Edwards vote
favoring. permission to withdraw
and three against it.
Mayor King decided that Edwards
had no right to withdraw his re-
signation without permission of the
conncil and that Edwards had no
right to vote upon a matter in
which he was so vitally interested.
He decided the vote a tie and cast
his deciding vote. Later on, Ed
wards gave a second resignation
this time unsigned. and then, after
considerable lawyerology, il was
decided to let the matter go 10 the
circuit court OH All agreed statement
of fact.
But the attorneys McCarry for
the defence and Vaughn and Young
for the prosecution-could not
agree OF the statement; hence that
act was cancelled. Then John Hag- |
gerty commenced quo. warranto pro-
,edngs to oust Mr. Edwards-and |
The hearing was held before Judge
Frazer. The attorneys were the
same. Decision was reserved, as
stated in recent issue OF THE
REVIEW: but OF Tuesday il was
lecided in Edwards favor.
Jndge Frazer declared that il
vas not necessary 10 be n free
iolder to hold an office in St. Johns:
md that the issue depended fsolely
NJ whether or not Edwards had
light to withdraw his resignation
'ciore IL was acted OF by the council
and whether the council could

erbally withdrawn il. Upon these
oin,s authorities conilicted very a,

Sunbeams Cure Disease.
The sunbedms can cure physical dis

Neils Finsen by scientific investigation
found that certain microbes would die
under certain colored lights. We know
that all governmental injustices and so
cial crimes and city temptations will
disappear under the bright rays which
may be flashed from the gospel light.
Thus it is every Christians duty To see

Cannot Escape Thunder.

You cannot escape il you would the
sounds of the cannonading of the ele-
ments when the thunderstorm begins
to growl and to crash The frightened
girl may run TO her bedroom and close
the windows and draw the shades and
bury her ears in the pillows. The
booming discharges of the heavenly
artilleries send their echoes even
through stone walls. But the sunlight
can be overcome so easily that all one
has TO do is to close the eyelids and tie
bandage over the face, and as blind
man he will have to grope his way
along the darkness. All one has to do
is to plant the flowers under the shad-
ows OF wall. and you can see them
pale and drOop and wither and die.
Light may have creating. develop
ing. a protecting, a saving influence,
but light will never force its way
through blocked vestibule or through
a thick obstruction which has been
erected to keep it out. Thus the Cos
pei light will never enter your heart
unless you wish it to come. Christ
answer? Will you accept that light?
Will you reject it and live in eternal
darkness?
What is your life to be? What is
your death to be? What is your eterni-
ty to be? One moonlight night upon
the Hudson river there came the quick
ring of the pilots bell. warning the en-
gineer that danger was ahead. 1t was
moonlight night. No boat was near.
The ship was in midstream, so the en-
gineer could not tell what the signal
meant. He went at once to the pilot
