In the wide reception hall the guests

ornaments of diamonds. Mesdames
Trice and Coterie, Mesdames Easley,
Senter and Lilly received in the spaci-.
Gus parlors, which were tastefllly and
delicately arranged in honor OF the
good Saitt. Green serpents and frogs
were much en- evidence. and over the
filmy tracery of Irish point curtains,
behind which green shades were drawn,
dozens of crepe paper shamrocks were
depended in their graceful trefoil lines,
so beloved by the artist, and so dear to
the Irishman's heart. The mantels
were banked in maiden hair fern and
narcissus, Cut glass of white
carnations and fern were lavishly dis
nosed in every available nook. In the
centre of the room upon a table also de-
corated in the lovely Adiantum, was a
miniature group of "Killarney's lakes
and fells. their messy banks reflected
in the crystal water. which flashed back
a thousand shimmering jets from the
Electroliers above. Mrs: Trlce was
gowned in a heliotrope chiffon cloth with
lace guipure land purple velvet acces-

DILEMMA SUGGESTS HOME
 RULE, OF COURSE

The word comes from the interior that there is much discussion ss to the details of the mining and other laws that AlaSks's newly elected delegates to congress will be asked to urge upon the attention of congress, So many different and conflicting suggestions have been made that 1t is suggested that a convention be held at Fairbanks to which Nome will be asked to send representatives. Of course this has caused many miners to suggest that there will never be satisfactory laws for the regulation of mining or any other Alaskan matter until they shall have been made by An Alaskan legisls- ture.
 That ls the solution of the whole matter. The shortest cut to gnod min ing laws for Alaska IS through terrI- torIal government. Give us leGisls- ture iu which there will be Alaskan miners, q few conscientious lawyers, business uen of experience and those representing the people of sll callings and all sections and we might hope to eet laws that are satisfactory. We will also have iu our hands the means of chapEiug laws as experience and time shall indicate that changes are neces- sary.
 II Mir. waskey and Mir. Gale shall be able to get an Alaskan legislature they will have done more for the Alaskan miners and their territory generally than they could hope to do in any other way

small Fruit Farm.

Small fruit culture will bring the
family bigger returns than anything
else about the farm. Knowing this, it
is strange that so many country people
prefer to buy dried fruits rather than
grow them right in their own gardens.
Any soil that will produce a vigorous
growth of corn and potatoes will be all
right for fruits. The currant Is one
of the most valuable of our small fruits.
1t Is hardy, easy to cultivate and yields
abundantly. Good cultivation and Sc
we're pruning will increase the size of
the fruit Plenty of old manure should
be spaded in about the roots, and the
soil should be kept clean and mellow.
On account of its hardness the cur
rant bushes are too often left to shift
for themselves, and of course when
left i'm this condition one need not ex-
pect big, fine-favored fruit Currants
do best in a somewhat protected loca-
tion
The gooseberry bushes are also
shamefuIly neglected, until blight and
disease destroy the prospect of crop.
With sensible care, such as pruning.
cultivation and the use of fungicides,
the culture of this fine fruit may be
made certain and even remunerative.
So many of the best varieties are af-
fected with mildew, that no one who
expects to get well-developed fruit
should neglect spraying. Southern
