MIR. PoRTEE's BOX PARTY.

Mir. w. A. Porter's box party last even- Ing at the Jefferson in compliment to Miss Dunn and Miss Pelzer, was bril- liant one. the party occupying the lower boxes. After the theatre the party were entertained at an elaborate dinner party at the Hillman, the private dining room being used and the table decorated su- perbly in roses.
 Miss Dunn was strikingy lovely in a handsome theatre gown of white cloth and real laces, her picture hat of white lace and plumes.
 Miss Pelzer, whose beauty drew many admiring glances to her box, wore blue, her large hat matching exquisitely the delicate tints of her gown. The gowns worn by the other women in the boxes were naturally handsome.
 MT. Porters guests were Miss Dunn, Miss Pelser, Mrs. Ross C. Smith, Miss Birch, Miss Chiffon of Montgomery, Miss Kinney Miss Sistrunlx of Montgomery, Miss Florence Dawson. Mir. Exum, MT. Ramsey, MT. Hunter, Mir Hunter Smith, MT. Hill Ferguson, MT. Henry Seibles, Mir. Ross c. Smith.
 Miss Dunn and Miss Pelzer will be the guests of honor at an elaborate luncheon at the Hillman on Wednesday, and in the afternoon Miss Pelzer will leave for her home in Montgomery to attend the annual ball of the Montgomery Greys on Friday evening. She will return to Birmingham on Saturday.
 The dinner given by Mir Exum and MT. Ramsay on Saturday evening to Miss Dunn and Miss Pelzer, mention of which has already been made in these columns, was the handsomest dinner party of the entire season. The women guests were presented with corsage bouquets of Palma violets, and the floral decorations and the details of the dinner made it even more elaborate than the many famous dinners given by the bachelors.

WORKMEN RI0T0US,
THEIR PAY STOLEN
Paymaster Robbed, but Laborers
Doubt His Story and Start ,
Trouble. -

New Brunswick, N. j., Dec. 90
When the 200 employees of the Della
ware River Construction company, en-
gagged in work on the roads between
Elizabeth and New Brunswick, N. j.,
reported for work today and found they
would not be paid at once, they became
very much excited. Apparently they
did not believe the statement that the
paymaster was robbed of $4,000 last
night and were inclined to think the
robbery story was ruse to- cheat them
out of their pay. Most of the work
men are Italians, and just as soon as
they learned that their money was not
ready they made an attack on the COM
pany's toolehests, dragged out all the
picks, shovels and crowbars, and piled
them on the trolley tracks, They
smashed all the lights oyer the excava-
ton for the underground eonduits and
wrecked several small buildings.
The foremen were unable to handle
the riotous laborers, and telephoned to
New Brunswick for help. Several po-
icemen- were sent to the scene in a
trolley car. When the rioters saw the
uniforms they scattered to the woods.
Later on they organized an Indignation
meeting and sent a committee to de-
mand their money. It was easier to
treat with the committee than with the
mob, and the men were finally made to
understand that they would be paid
later.
The reward of $1,000 for the capture
Of the robbers who held up the pay
master has not yet resulted in cap
ture so far.

LOAN RATE LURES
OUT RUSSELL SAGE
Call of 100 Per Cent Is Answered
to Extent of $30,ooo,000
by Aged F'inancier.

New York, Dec. 29.-The alluring
call Of 100 per cent reached Russell
Sage Yesterday, dragged him from the
warmth and comfort of his Fifth ave
nue. mansion, and planted him in his old
Wall street office for the first time IN
many weeks.
For rrcc hours the 90-year-old fnan-

of about 100000, 000-$l0, 900 an
hour. This money was loaned at from
So to- 90 per cent. The interest rate
jumped to 125 when all the Sage money
was gone, but later on it dropped back
to So: >,
The weakening effects Of MI. Sage 8
illness have kept him out of Wall street
for a long time but he has kept in close
touch with the situation and the mar
kets. When he heard that borrowers
were offering 100 per cent money be-
fore the opening of the mar et, his
house couldn't hold him. He felt that
Wall street needed him and his money
at 100 per cent or Whereabouts.
Calling an automobile, Mr.. Sage was
rushed to his office. There he opened
his safes. He could have got as high
as 100 per cent, but all he expected
was from IS to co. which was about
the average between the extreme fuctu.

In the course of the day the interest
rate made such leaps as from ITO to SO
and back. The Sage money had a. tonic
effect upon the market. Trading was
remarkably brisk and all lines ad

stocks are low.

Sioux City,, Iowa, Dec. 29.--The posi-
tive statement is made that after nu-
merous conferences with his party
leaders Governor Cummins has decided,
Notwithstanding the tWo-term prece-
dent, to ask for denomination at the
next republican convention. It is said
this will be done while the opposition

It is believed that no other person
in the ranks can be found who, can take
the reins from Governor Cumlnins.
Party leaders say it is imperative for
him to retain such organization as he
has and not be backed by such forces
as railroads, and that the only way he
can do this is to stay in. the governor s
chair. Circumstances might arise that
would enable him to step aside for an
other whose views are similar, but at
