Miss kLarrison's Recital.

The music lovers of Pine Bluff feel very grateful to the hospital associa- ton for bringing Miss Harrison here Tuesday night. Her program of high class piano music was rendered with unusual skill and in exquisite style. Miss Harrison is a young lady Of charming personality and has the rare gift Of infusins her personality into her performances. Her playing was not merely the striking of the keys with mathematical accuracy, but was the pouring out of the very afhatus of music. She was assisted by Miss Harrel. who rendered several vocal selections with rare sweetness and power

 'I know it, dear" he answered ten derly. Il would give anything to hurry 1t up. but we must wait''
 Harrington, strolling across the ball. room floor, heard and smiled as he asked Candless for a ten minute chat. The younger man went off. proud to be seen in conference with the man who really ruled the destinies of his party
 Three months before Candless would have shouted at the suggestion that he might he sent to the senate from his state. He was merely a young attor- ney whose cleverness had gained for him a place in the state legislature. Then had come the water front investi- gation. He had been placed on the committee because the leaders suppos- ed him to be "safe." To the surprise of every one, he had developed an in- genuity at cross examination which had dragged out, bit by bit. the whole miserable story of the steal of the wa ter front by the Cadiz and Southwest ern.
 It had been no part of the leaders intentions that the story should come out, but 1t was too late now to call of the investigation. The public had been aroused.
 To Candless it had seemed as if he were very near his goal, for he was to make Marion his wife when he had made his way. Surely his future was assured. If only the investigation had ended in time to run for the senator ship!
 He wondered as he followed Harring- ton into the conservatory whether it were too late. An hour later, with sparkling eyes, he emerged from the conference and sought the girl.
 'Is 1t good news, Hugh?" she asked as he led her toward the library.
 Ut couldn't be better!' he cried ex- ultingly. ''1'll give you three guesses." i"
 They were inside the library now, and the girl faced him. "1s it the senator ship?" she half whispered.
 Candless nodded as he seized her about the waist and waltzed her across the floor to the library sofa. He was like boy in his exuberance.
 "Tell me all about it," she demanded as she curled herself upon the sofa. "Was that what MT. Harrington want ed of you?''
 "Nothing less," exulted Candless. Tt has been decided that l am the most available candidate. They will run me for the state senate, with the assurance that shall he sent to Washinotnn

The Musical Coterie.

"Of all the arts beneath the heaven That man has found or God has given, None draws the soul so sweet away As music's melting mystic lay.'
 The Musical Coterie met with it's charming vice president, Mrs. L. o. Knox, Wednesday morning at 10 O. clock. Twenty members responded to roll call, and twenty kindred spir- it's alike sensitive to the beautiful in countrepo' nt and harmony and under the inspiration of the glorious sum- chine out of doors, the genial hospital ity indoors, and the technical skill with which the program was render ed, all the members rose to quite de- gree of musical enthusiasm and con- graduated themselves on the organi- zation of the much needed club. The coterie has adopted as it's motto the musical rule of three, Patience, prac- tice and perseverance" and no drones are found in it's rapidly growing mem- bership. The instrumental numbers for the morning were given by Mrs. Bocage, Mrs. Norris and the Misses Langford, a violin solo by Mrs. Smith, and the vocal numbers by Miss Har- rel, Miss Dye and Mrs. Core.

GYM. GIVES SOCIAL.
Amusing Contests at Y. M. G. A..
Building Last Night

There were many amusing contests last
night in the gymnasium Of the new Y. NJ
c. A. building, 1876 G street northwest. on
the OCCASION of the gym. mems first social
OF the season. Several hundred persons
Were gathered to participate in the event
When the programs were passeu around
every man read the first number. blinked
his eyes, gasped, and, steadying his nerve
read that there would be dog fight" an
egg race" a rooster fight Chewing
contest" number by 1.-The Bling Boxers"
a "shoe race" walking the chalk line,"
relay race and tug of war between the dor
mitory men representing the fourth and
fifth floors, respectively, of the association
building
The last contest provoked the greatest
rivalry, both pulling to win. AS soon as
the word Go" was given by c. h. Brack-
EFT, physical directoro. the fifth floor team
gave a mighty pull that gained them
foot. That was repeated many times. until
they had pulled their opponents across the
floor. Capt. Gordon and his men, from the
fifth floor. were then awarded the prize.
One of the most amusing of the events
was the boxing contest The various con-
testants, by two, were blindfoldeu, put
into the ring and given a start toward each
other. They came together once or twice
in three minutes; at other times they were
beating the air.
Walking the chalk line should have been
easy for Y. NJ. c. A. members and guests,
but after each contestant had been turned
about three times. with his head resting on
a stick as a pivot, none found it easy to
keep on the chalk line. The chewing con-
test proved not to be a political meeting,
but each man Of pair was given the end
Of a long string, tied to the middle of which
was a piece of candy. Each man had to
chew up the string and the one getting the
candy first was the winner.
