AFTERNOON AT CARDS.

The attractive home of Mrs. o. s. Lawrence was thrown open to her friends Tuesday afternoon from 2 till 5 in a progressive euchre party in compliment to Miss Louise Van Dyke.
 The beautifully furnished in- terior was further adorned in a wealth of winter decorations, the color scheme being extravagantly carried out in the red and green of foliage and roses swinging in festoons from the corners of the rooms to center chandeliers, while from these ornaments and the window shades, prettily made red bells betokened the old year rung out and the New Year rung in. The head table was also designated in such bell dec- orations overhead.
 In receiving, the hostess was assisted by Mesdames l. w. Stephens and c. M. Erwin and Miss Van Dyke, and in doing the honors of the occasion and look ing after the scores, Misses Minnie Lee Jago, Maidie and Gladis Stephens were very clever assistants.
 7 Progressive euchre is ever k spirited among Newport players and the games were intensely enjoyed. Mrs. Wm. Hooker and Mrs. H. G. Bunn came out with highest scores, and in cutting for the prize the former won a neat mayonaise bowl. To Miss Della Bernstein fell the booby and the guest of honor was the recipient of a handsome clover leaf brooch as a guests prize. A dainty and delicate luncheon was served upon the card tables consisting of: first -cold turkey, escalloped oysters, French peas, olives, pickles, celery and wafers; second brick cream in red and green colors and cake; third coffee and cheese straws. 2alThe afternoon was >cre of pleasure to the large number present, for the affair was beau- tifully carried out and will al- ways have a distinctive place in Memory's treasure house of each guest.

Corpse Still Alive

One of the boys of the Chicago Press
club is responsible for this story:
The western part of Texas is noted
as panacea for consumptives, but a
great many of the sufferers delay Wis
iting the territory until in the last
stages Of the disease and die shortly
after reaching there. An Irishman,
who was a station agent at one of the
small western towns, was applied to
for ticket for consumptive who
was expected to die within a few
hours, and who hailed from the far
east. AS these smaller stations are
not supplied with through tickets it
was necessary for the agent to COM
municate with the general offices be-
fore the required transportation could
be had. So he wired headquarters as
follows:
Send ticket for corpse, first train"
1t happened, however, that the con-
sumptive fingered through the day,
and improved so noticeably that hopes
were entertained for his ultimate re-
covery. The agent was appraised of
this and at once sent another telegram
which read:
Don't send ticket; corpse not dead
yet"

LAWFUL TO FISH
THROUGH ICE

Now that the streams in this section
are being frozen up, the question OF
fishing through the ice is once more
attracting attention. This is a matter
that a great many do not rightly un-
derstand. Suckers and mulletS are
quite plentiful III the Fishing creek
and many people up that valley have
been wondering the last few day if it
would be lawful to catch these fish
through the ice with a hook and line.
H. G. Eshelman, the fish and game
warden for this section, stated yester-
day that suckers and mullets are not
embraced by the game laws, and that
it is perfectly lawful to catch them
through the ice. While fishing for
these, however, should a game fish be
at once, or the fisherman is liable TO a
fine.
Last winter a case was tried in which
prosecution was attempted for taking
suckers or mullets from the water with
hook, but the man was Immediately
discharged and the matter dropped, as
there was no law against such a mode
of capturing these fish.
The fact that there is ice on the
water in no way changes the law re
lating to the capture of fish.

Washington as hunting ground for
corruption has not been in high favor
for many years, but Lincoln Steffens,
the man who has explored the polite
al jungles of many cities and States,
has gone there on graft-stalking
expedition.
Mr. Stetfens is the man who wrote
THE Shame of the Cities for Nc
Clure's Magazine a memorable chapter
of this series being devoted to what he
was pleased to term Philadelphia,
Corrupt and Contented .
In making his Investigations in the
cities and States, Mr. StetfenS says he
has found unmistakable signs of the
trail of corruption leading toward the
national capital. He will endeavor to
learn whether or not the CRATER has
reached Washington, and discover his
abiding place and his methods.
The Steffens articles Will appear
weekly in the Sunday edition of the
North American, and it is promised
for them that they Will be highly en-
tightening to all students of govern
ment affairs.

after hearing the evidence of detec-

20 applicants withdrew and their IL
censes will be revoked.
Among the revelations of the day
was one that there are many double
applications for saloon license, where
the proprietors have been convicted of
selling on Sunday. In this way it is
hoped to prevent the courts revoking
the license. 1t was also shown that
some saloonkeepers make it a business
to get licenses for "a new stand and
