CHARIVARI.

The charivari seems to be one O.
the cherished customs in this sec
ton. The writer is informed that
among certain classes it is actually
upheld. 1t is not surprising that
the boys, who have never been
taught any better, should regard il
as popular institution, but when
adults, in all sincerity and serious.
ness, defend and encourage such
practice, one is inclined to wonder
whether he is awake or dreaming.
Those who defend the charivari
insist that it is an evidence of good
will. Good will, indeedl Is it an
evidence of good will to insult and
harass one? This sort of good will
is sometimes met with other evil
Tdences of good will in the shape of
> bullets, rock-salt, bird-shot and
other tokens of friendship, sud-
denly injected, through the medium
of a double. barreled shotgun, into
the anatomy of the party of the
first part. This method OF reel.
procity usually meets the approval
of the public.
Webster's dictionary thus de-
fines this ill.bred practice:
CHARIVARI: A mock serenade of discord.
ant music-kettles, tinhorns, etc.-designed to
annoy and insult.

o. H. BARBER, who, with Chas.
Diehl, began the publication of the
Twin Falls News a few months ago,
recently severed his connection
with the paper and installed
another plant, issuing, on March
%, the first number of the Twin
Falls Times. 1t is a handsome g.
column quarto and gives evidence
of being healthy and permanent
business venture. Mr.. Diehl. has
also severed his connection with
the News, turning the plant over
to a company represented by
George Fraser, an experienced
newspaper man of Boise. Twin
Falls is fortunate in having two
good newspapers to forward its
interests. The citizens, individ-
ually and collectively, should
show their appreciation by liber.
ally patronizing both publications.

VENICE ASSEMBLY
Southern California TO be Cynosure
of All Eyes.

|
the most beautiful spot on this fail
earth of ours.
Venice lies sixteen miles directly
west of Los Angeles, and is reached
by a modern street railway in
thirty minutes. The location Just
south of Santa Monica and north
of Playa Del Rey is in itself ideal,
with the Pacific Ocean on one
hand and a beautiful range OF
mountains on the other. During
the last few months large force OF
eminent landscape gardeners, en-
gineers and architects have been
at work. The result is a modern
Venice with miles upon miles of
salt water canals, Venetian palaces,
beautiful business blocks, and
pleasure resorts such as have been
heard of but never seen.
1t is at this beautiful spot, in a
pavilion seating 5000 people, at a
pier more than $50 feet from the
shore, beyond the line of breakers,
that the great Summer Congress is
to be held, which promises to sur.
pass anything ever before at
tempted in this country, excepting
the Worlds Parliament in Chicago
in 1895.
The President is Benjamin Fay
Mills, whose name is a household
word in this country, and has re.
Gently been chosen as Permanent
Minister of the Los Angeles Fell
lowship. The Vice Presidents are
such men as the Hon. George G.
Pardee, Governor of California;
the Hon. George G. Perkins, U. S.
Senator from California; the Hon.
Thomas r. Bard, former U. s. Sena-
tor from California; the Hon.
Franklin K. Lane, San Francisco;
the Hon. w. e. Smythe, San Diego,
founder of the National Congress of
Irrigation, and Mr.. Abbot Kinney
while the Secretary is the Hon.
Dana Burk.
The plan outlined includes a
University at which all the
lighter branches of general culture
will be taught, including School
of Modern Languages, School of
a School OF Music, School
of Expression and a School of
Nature Study. A series of lee
lures, concerts, dramas, and other
entertainments of the highest class
is also provided for by participants
of national reputation. On the
religious side great undenomina-
tional service will be held in the
every Sunday morning,
with the finest sacred music, and
with sermons by representatives of
al religious faiths. Exhilarating
recreation in the form of pure,
amusement will also be
provided, including concerts by one

promote good fellowship among

London, Feb. 1.-THE correspondent

sends to that paper the report that
the first act of the new minister OF
the interior, NJ. Bouligan, on arriving
in ST. Petersburg on Friday. was to
have the residence Of NJ. Witte. presi-
dent of the council Of the empire,
searched by the police, who removed
mass of documents for examination.
NJ. Witte was at home at the time. and
the police made a systematic and thor
ough examination Of all the private
papers in the house. The correspond
ent adds that when NJ. Won Plehve was
assassinated he was carrying an order
to the emperor for his signature, au-
thorizing just such perQuisition for
NJ. Witte's papers. 1t looks, there
fore, the correspondent says, as though

THE CONDITION OF TRADE

Il Generally Satisfactory.

New York, Feb. 11.-R. G. Dun Z
Co. S weekly review of trade says:
Some disturbance has been caused by
the elements. but business conditions
are otherwise unusually satisfactory
for the season. Distribution of mer-
chandise is of liberal proportions, and
the new year is fulfilling sanguine ex-
pectations. Low temperature and
storms interrupted traffic to some ex-
tent, but accelerated business in heavy
wearing apparel, overshoes and fuel
Manufacturing is still the best feature
especially in the various departments
of the iron and steel industry.
Some conversation is noted in the
placing of advance orders. but this is
a favorable symptom, indicating the
absence of reckless operations that
produce inflated prices and ultimately
cause excessive accumulation of stocks,
followed by the inevitable period Of re-
trenchment.
