GAY TIMES At A LODGING HOUSE
Police Take a Hand and Pick Up a
Couple of Street Walkers.

A desire to get out with the boys for
a good time led to the arrest of Goldie
Thompson and Mamie Hunter at a
lodging house in the Mccarthy build
The girls secured couple of rooms a
few nights ago, and according to ROOM
ers at the house, they have been in
the habit of entertaining men visit
ors at all times of the day and night.
The police were apprised of the fact
and raided the house last night.
The Thompson girl who styles fer-
self Goldie Coffin created no end of ex-
element in the Delmonico lodging
house a month ago by attempting to
poison herself because her soldier
lover had quarreled with ner. the
Hunter woman, whose maiden name
was Colby, was married a few weeks
ago TO a soldier. The marriage was
Planned to take place at the carnival
given at the Armory in February, but
owing to the fact that the prospective
groom was confined in the guard house
at the time and the commanding Of
ficer would not grant his release, the
proposed wedding was postponed few
days. The girl figured in sensational
assault case year ago by swearing
that a member of the Second Cavalry
had assaulted i1er at the Baker school
building. After an exceedingly nasty
trial the man was acquitted. The girl

cupancy of the handsome church edi-
flee on Howard and Newell streets

work that had been accomplished dur
ing the year by the different depart
ments of the church. In all societies
of the church a marked increase in
membership was reported, the Ed
worth League especially showing a
large growth, the membership at the
present time almost being as large as
that of the church itself During the
past winer the Epworth League was
very active in assisting poor and
needy persons, by supplying them with
food, clothing, fuel and money.
David H. Cox gave a complete re-

ducing the debt of the church and in
making improvements to the build
ing and grounds

impressions of the work that had been
accomplished by the church during
the year.
Rev. w. J. White spoke at length
on "reminiscences of Father Wilbur,
the pioneer Methodist minister of the
Northwest. His address was inter-

tions were given, Mr. Schaffer render
ing a violin solo, the choir singing
several selections and a quartet COM
posed of DR.. o. J. Group, Rev. Robert
j. Reid, Chester Courtney and Lowrie

SIDEWALKS the SUBJECT
COUNCIL MAY HAVE DISCUSSION
LOVER ORDINANCE WHIcHIT
RECENTLY PASSED.
Property Owners Will Make Strong
Protest at Regular Meeting of
Lawmakers Tonight.

The subject Of sidewalks in the
paved district of Walla Walla is the
question that the city council will
probably discuss at length tonight and
an interesting time is the forecast.
Mayor Hunt has not yet signed the or
dinance passed at a recent meeting
providing that ali walks be placed on
grade, and as there has been so much
objection offered by the property own
ers to the proposed ordinance, it is
very probable that the mayors name
may not be affixed to the document.
The property owners in general are
determined to make a fight against
the ordinance and large number are
preparing to attend the council meet
ing tonight. If given an opportunity
they will express their condemnation
of the ordinance.
The special committee authorized by
the Walla Walla Commercial Club will
also be in attendance to talk over the
question with the city lawmakers.
There is likely to be some warm dis
cussion over the ordinance regulating
the resorts on Rose street, passed at
the last meeting, creating a district in
which the occupants of such places
should reside. 1t is limited that some
of the councilmen are not satisfied
with the ordinance and that an at
tempt will be made to reconsider it at
tonight's meeting.

VOTED FOR OPEN DOOR
Favor Taking Women Whose Husbands
Are Not Members.

At it's recent session in Tacoma the
grand lodge of the Degree of Honor
passed resolutions favoring the open
door policy. Heretofore the lodge has
been barred to all but wives and sis
tiers of Workmen. The Washington
grand lodge favors inviting all desir-
able women to join, and will present
resolutions to that effect to the SUI
preme lodge. The lodge acted favor
ably on the plan to create a permanent
reserve fund and hereafter regular
monthly assessments will be paid in
stead of assessments just when bene-
fits are to paid.
At the meeting of the grand lodge, A..
o. u. W., it was decided to establish
a permanent benefit fund by making
IL yearly assessments-one each month
instead of only making assessments
when needed to meet death losses
A measure to create board of con-
troll was defeated.

The sturdy little ball players that
represent Whitman on the diamond this

CHAPTER VI.
On the Tide Top.

The great day of triumph was over.
Cromwell had entered London at the
head Of his victorious army, and the
city was safe and jubilant. Standing
at her mothers side, Jane had wit
messed from window in the crowded
Strand the glorious pageant Of Lib
erty.
And in the midst Of this joyful tur-
bulence she had caught sight of her
father and brothers and lover; her
fathers face sternly glad, like the face
of a man who had fought good fight
to assured victory; his sons initiating
his bearing, as we'll as youth could
copy age; and the young lord not far
from them, proud and radiant and
carrying aloft the eolors of the Com
monwealth.
AS yet they had not met, nor had
Cluny any certain knowledge Of the
Swaffhams location. Mrs. Swaffham
had learned that Cluny Neville was
personally Objectionable to her hus
band and sons, and, as she could not
see clearly what road to take, she
very wisely stood still. waiting foi
some light and guidance. And II
seemed unnecessary to trouble james
heart until there was a positive rea
son for doing SO; yet her depression
and evident disappointment fretted
her mother.
What is the matter with you
Jane?" she asked irritably one morn
ing; "you look as If you had lost
everything in the world instead Of 10
ing as your father thinks, right on tbs
road to many a good day. | woulda't

HE could have found out. And
Jane, it is not maidenly TO take any
young man so seriously as you take

brothers are satisfied

an hour ago, so tired he could scarce
ly sit his horse. He has had a warm
drink and sleeps, but he says no vic
tory was ever like it,"
"And my father and brothers? What
of them?"
Your father Is well; Tonbert and
VIII have some slight sword cuts. We
must be ready to go with DR.. Verify
to London on Tuesday morning. Your
father desires it. Tomorrow, being
Sabbath, we can do nothing towards
our journey, but on Monday all must
be finished"
Jane worked rapidly. Her little box
was soon packed, her room put in or
der when there was a sharp, impa-
tient knock at the door. Before she
could in any way answer It, Matilda
de Wick entered and threw herself on
her knees at James side.
you said you would help me-" she
cried you said you would, with
heart and hands! Now, Jane, keep
your word"
What is it, Matilda? What is it

"But, mother when | look back to
last August"
IF you want to look happily for

always found that one good hour
brings on another" And Jane took
the counsel into her heart and anon
began to sing, when soon a loud, joy
full voice Joined her, and it's owner
came into the room singing them
"Oh, Doctor Verify" Jane cried.
how glad am to see you"
Il had been here an hour ago, but
| had to wait on the Lady Mary Crom-
well. She has sent you letter, and
coach is at your order, and you are
bid to Whitehall. And you will be
very welcome there"
Then Jane ran to her mother, and
her box Of f1neries was quickly
packed, and the girl came down for
her visit glowing with hope and hap
piness.
AS they drew near to Whitehall,
James spirits fell a little. She had
not caught a glimpse of her lover, and
she felt sudden anxiety about her
position. Sometimes prosperity Is as
fatal to friendship as adversely, and
the girl tried in silence to prepare
herself for any change in affection
that change of fortune might have
caused. But her fears were very
transient; Mary and Frances Crom-
well. full of the Joy and pride of their
great position, soon carried Jane all
through their splendid apartments,
and afterwards sat down together in
Mary's room to talk over old times
and the friends and occupations that
had made them happy and memorable.
Their first inquiry was for Lady Ma
tilda de Wick, and when Jane an
swered, "Her father is dead, and |
know not exactly what has befallen
her since his DEATH" the girls were
all silent a few minutes. After the
pause, Mary Cromwell said;
Il remember her so well on her fine
Barbary mare. How handsome she
was! How proud wonder where
she is"
1T was said she would live with

New Table Glass.

Never was an ambitious hostess
who did not succumb to the charms
of dainty glassware, let those who
VII try to harden their hearts against
the beautiful fiuted specimens of
crystal that stand erect on the dining
tables Of the leading Parisiennes.
With some sets of wine glasses the
top edge Of each cup opens out into
no less than eight little flutes; but
far more beautiful are the cups
that are fashioned with only four, so
that the impress of the top of one
on paper would be something like a
four-leaved shamrock
The glasses are, Of course, of the
finest crystal, and take for ornament
raised bands of rich gold, which give
wonderful dignity. Touches of the ex-
quisite French enamels come on some
Of the glasses as the blossom OF a
delicate spray Of flowers traced lin
gold, or, Oh the more ornate cups Of
crystal, among the intricacies Of
monograms.

BY AMELIA 4. BARR

At this moment Lord Cluny Neville
entered the room He saw Jane on the
instant, and his eyes gave her swift
welcome, while in the decided exhil-
aration following his entrance Love
found his opportunities. But among
them was none that gave him free
speech with Jane; they were not a
moment alone. Cluny had a fund of
pleasant talk and soon there was
heard from a distant apartment the
sound of music, low and sweet, and
full of heavenly melody.
THAT is Mr. Milton playing" said
Mary Cromwell. Il would know his
touch among a thousand" And then
Cluny blushed little, and held out a
small roll which he carried in his
hand. 1t contained three fair copies
of his own hymn. and Mary delighted
ly hurried Jane and Frank away with
her to the musician. He turned as
they entered and bowed gravely, and
the girls fell at once under the charm
OF his music. GLORY to God!" he
sang, and the room rang with the
lofty notes and seemed full of Pres
ence, and of fame-like faces, sublime
and tender, while the air vibrated to
the final triumphant crescendo, Glory
to Cod Glory to God! Glory to God
in the Highest!" And in his beauti-
full face there was seen for few mo
ments that face of the soul wherein
God shineth.
Then there was short pause of
! spiritual sensitiveness which was
broken by the opening of door, and
all eyes turning towards 1t beheld
Cromwell standing on the threshold.
Frances ran to him with cry of de-
light. Mary looked at him with ador-
ing pride, and then put into Mr.. Mil
tons hand the roll of manuscript Lord
Neville had given her. Jane left her
companions and timidly advanced to
meet the Lord General.

Last Wednesday, en- the third day
Of this month
''sfother, remember how sad we
were all that day. You said to me,
Jane, there is death in the air. and
the men could not work. and they
vowed the beasts trembled and were
not to guide or to hold"
"The third Of September" said
Mrs. Swaffham. that was Dunbar
day. A great victory was Dunbarl"
Yes; and now there is peace"
peace comes too late for many a
family. There are the de Wicks."
II am sorry for them, and could be
sorrier If they had suffered for the
right instead of the wrong. What will
the young lady Matilda do after her
fathers death?"
Her aunt, Lady Jevery, has been
written for, more than week ago.
She may be at de Wick even now. l
think Matilda will make her home
with the Jeverys."
"Then she goes to London. | know

1t has very fine gardens indeed. And
now, Jane, dear, little Jane, listen to
me. You are going to the great city

"And let not the tale of love be
guile you. Go often to the assemb
ling of the saints and catch the morn
ing dew and celestial rain of theil

Jane smiled gratefully, and her eyes
were dim with tears as she laid hel
hands in Doctor Verity's to clasp hel
promise. Yet when she reached hel
room and sat quiet in its solitude, nc
one will blame her because many
thoughts Of love and hope blended
themselves with the piteous ones shs

All eyes. turning, behsId Cromwell.

I'll wareEnt tbs my young soldiers
hymn, and in my judgment, a good
hymn"
They were advancing towards the
organ as Cromwell spoke, and they
joined the group around the inspired
player His trampling notes gave the
sensation of charging men and horses,
and of the Ininistration of angelic
hosts.
The exultant song ceased, but their
hearts we're yet full of thanksgiving,
and Cromwell walked about the room
with Frances and Jane at his side
humming the majestic melody, or
breaking out into some line Of audible
song, until. addressing John Milton,
ne said:
I'VE have sundry letters to write,
and the plain truth is, | could wish
they were more heavenly. Here is a
man to answer who is playing fast and
loose with us-and will not have It.
He is laying too much weight on my
patience; let him take care that he
break it not"
Speaking thus, he walked towards
the door, and Jane marveled at the
man. His countenance was changed;
all its wistful tenderness and exalta-
tion had given place to stern, stead
fast severity; his voice was sharp, his
words struck like caustic. and the
homelike, country gentleman was sud
denly clothed with great and majes-
tic deportment.
Neville left soon after the Lord Gen
eral, and the girls had game of bat
tledore and shuttlecock in the long
gallery; then sewing, reading aloud,
the evening meal and the evening ex-
ercise closed the day. The days that
followed were little different. on the
whole Jane was not very sorry when
her visit was over and she was free to
return home. In spite of the frankest
kindness. she fcits out Of her element.
The Cron.wells had outgrown their old
friends, and not all their familisrities
could dispel the atmosphere Of super
\ iority which surrounded them; it was
unavoidable and unequiyocal, though
they were not themselves conscious
Of it.
Then there came to James mind in
very sweet fashion the memory Of Ma
tllda de Wick. They had quarreled al
most constantly for years, and Matil-
