BLACK HAND LETTERS.
Recipients Do Not Know whether They
Are Jokes or Not.

Dominick Bernardo, a well-known
italian grocer Of Eighth and Scott
streets, is being annoyed by receiving
=. eatening "black hand' letters
written in Italian. Last week he re-
ceived a letter containing a large
black hand, which demanded that he
meet the writer at a certain place
and give him $50 OF forfeit his life. Pay
ing no attention to the letter, Mr.. Ber-
nardo did not comply with the request.
Last Saturday he received box by
mail, which contained another letter and
"A dead rat. The letter besides the demand
for money, and the black hand had a
heart pierced by a dagger drawn upon
the paper. The letter. as was the former
one, was written in Italian and intimated
that unless the demand for money was
complied with, Mr.. Bernardo would be-
come as dead as the rat by a dagger
thrust through the heart.
A King street meat dealer has also re-
ceived two letters signed by the "black
hand" society and bearing drawings of a
black hand. The letters demand S100
and declare that the man written to
shall not live over four days unless he
pays the money. He is instructed Ia
put the money under a small box near
a tree in the front of his house.

H0HoRs FOR JUNE BRIDES
Misses Hsger and Bately Entertained
Saturday for the Misses No
bis, Haynes and Saul.

Three June brides, the Misses
Glare Nobis, Emma Haynes and
Mamie Saul, were the guests Of honor
at a six O'Clock dinner given by
Misses Maude Hager and Lillian
Bately, at the home Of the former,
Saturday evening, at which time the
hostesses entertained the members
OF the Maybe Club, a company of fif-
teen young ladies who we're banded
together several years ago for social
purposes, the membership OF which,
however, is being reduced by matri-
mony.
Dinner was served at six O'Clock
and the guests were gathered around
a table that was resplendently beau
tiful. The color decorations were
pink and white, with a slight touch
OF green here and there, and a carna-
ton was placed at each plate, while
two bouquets graced the table. The
place cards were very pretty. and
were IN the form Of hearts. the
brides-elect's being white and pune
tured with an arrow, while the other
guests were heart SNAPPED, and
pink, being surmounted with a gold
en- horseshoe. On the chairs OF the
brides-elect were hung a bouquet Of
carnations tied with pink ribbon.
In front OF each plate was stationed
small candles, alternating pink and
white, and when the guests we're
seated these were lighted. The
menu was a delightful one and was
served in four courses.
After dinner was served the brides
elect we're presented with souvenir
spoons from the members Of the club
as mementoes Of the occasion. The
evening was happily spent in vari-
Gus amusements, prizes being
awarded in two OF the contests to
Misses Mamie Saul and Edna Dan
iels.
The h%ostesses were the recipients
of many compliments for the very
happy occasion and the pleasures
will be remembered long by the
participants.
