He reminded the committee that

Hiderabad, the noted and beauti-
full country residence Of Mr.. Hider.
at the junction of the Tomichi
creek and Gunnison river was hon
ored last "Wednesday, Sept. 18th by
visit from two of the most charm
ing and accomplished young ladies
of Gunnison escorted by a good
looking young gentleman from the
east They carried their rifles, and
after a successful hunt, they were
invited by Mr.. Hider to come into
his house and rest. They were no
sooner there than they laid aside
their rifles and took possession Of
his kitchen, and a fine short lunch
and pink tea garnished by blue
bird salad was soon on the table
The young ladies enjoyed them
selves immensely, and thanked Mr.
Hider profuselv for his hospitality,
and he answered that while he felt
highly complimented not only by
their presence there but by their
thanks. he suggested that without
the aid of good cooks, the entertain
ment would have fallen very short
of their ideal mark of excellence.
Mr.. Hider offered to drive the party
home in his Garage drawn BY his
fine team which took part in the
Cattlemens procession, and just
missed the prize, but they having a
buggy of their own declined the
kind invitation. The young ladies
and their escort left and Mr.. Hider's
last word to them was that he hoped
they would soon repeat their visit.

ssThe WITHDRAWING Of Julia" a society
comedy drama by Henry Arthur Jones. was
enacted in an admirable manner last even
ins By the Columbia Theater Company. The
large audience manifested more than usual
interest in the performance. since 1t was
the initial presentation OF the piece in this
city. and the enthusiastic demonstration on
the part OF the auditors left no question as
to their enjoyment OF the piece and APP
prevail Of the efforts OF the players. The
play is decidedly entertaining. being re-
plete with clever lines and amusing situa-
tons, handled with the characteristic skill
OF the playwright. However. much of the
enjoyment afforded by the performance was
due to the excellent work Of the actors.
The embarrassing of Julia bears close
resemblance to Mrs. Danes Defense"
Julia Is the subject OF scandal which os-
tracizes her from the social life of a small
fashionable parish. Her lover. a man OF
the world, refuses to inquire into her Sc
cret. but the audience is afforded sugges-
ton as to its character, q sort OF NOR
ganatic marriage arrangement with a royal
duke. The ending Is not as entirely salts
factory az the audience hopes during the
development Of the story.
Mr.. Guy Standing was seen to excellent
advantage in the role Of William Sitting
feet, the man of the world. which role he
country. With enjoyable dash and spirit
he brought out the genial, generous char
acter Of the man who has learned to look
with charitable eyes upon the shortcom-
ings OF others. As Julia, Miss Charlotte
Walker was delightfully."- gracious and vi
vaciOus and impressed with her charming
personality as well as with her intelligent
characterization of the part. The perform
