SOCIAL WAS A SUCCESS
Horrors Were Sold at Auction and
Everyone Enjoyed the Fun.


Everyone Enjoyed the Fun
The EpWorth League social, held
at the home OF Mr.. and Ms. John
HaTtzler, was a decided success, both
socially and financially. The guests
were requested 20 bring something
that represented their pet aversion,
and the collection proved to be varied,
ranging from a real, live snake, shut
safely in a bottle, to a very harmless
looking stocking, with a somewhat ex-
aggerated hole in the heel Every
thing imaginable was included in the
list OF horrors and aside from the
laughter OccasiOned by the misceIlan-
eOus selections, there was the added
excitemnt OF bidding on each as IL was
offered at auction This produced q
great deal OF fun, and as the auc-
tiOneer knew his business thoroughly
and cried the sale like a professional
the result was a neat sum OF money,
sufficient to pay any Indebtedness Of
the league, and leave something for
future expenses
During the evening a short literary
program was rendered, and after the
auction, Mrs HaTtzler, assisted by the
young ladies OF the league, served ice
cream and cake to the guests

constitutional power was simply to mander in chief, while to congress the constitution gave power to raise armies and to make rules and regulations for its government. The regulations pre- scribed that no man could be sum- marily discharged without a right to be tried, and the articles of war. he argued, prescribe minutely how these trials are to be conducted.
 Why, MT. President, an atrociou3 crime has been committed if that man IS not guilty. He goes forth branded as a murderer"
 With great vehemence Senator For eker uttered this climax to his long speech, which was full of dramatic utterances.
 Senator Lodge. defending the preSi- dent, pointed out that the record of the four other times since 1885 1t had been involved in similar escapades. Sena- tor Scott declared he had found it to be as reliable as any in the service.
 At the suggestion of Senator Lodge President Roosevelt's Panama message will be reprinted for the senate h ''normaP' spelling.
 In the house MT. Lacey Qa) took a pronounced position in opposition to the adjournment of congress for the Christmas holidays, declaring that it Is idiotic for the house to adjourn and then jam all legislation through under whip and spur during the closing days"

BURIED MINER FREED.
Saved From Living Tomb After Fifteen
 Days Spent Underground.

Saved From Living Tomb After Fifteen
 Days Spent Underground.
 Bakersfield, Cal, Dec. 26.-Out of the valley of the shadow Lindsay B. Hicks, the miner who was buried by a cave in nearly sixteen days in the Edison mine at this place, has been rescued from his living tomb.
 Surrounded by hundreds who have camped at the head of the mine shaft waiting for the outcome of the desper- ate battle being waged for a human life, the freed captive was carried, ly- ing on a stretcher. on the shoulders of the triumphant men who took him to the hospital.
 Hicks appears well and happy after his grewsome experience and is spend ing much time in receiving the congrat- ulations of friends and neighbors, to whom he relates as best he can the feelings he underwent within the dark, close quarters of his tomblike prison near the dead bodies of his five com panions.
 Hicks was not emaciated when he was rescued. He was so strong that the stimulants that had been prepared for him were not needed. His beard was thick and stubby, but not as long as might be expected. His face and hands were dirty, but his clothing was fairly clean and in good condition.
 While working on a tunnel that was being built by the Edison Power com pany near Bakersfield on Dec. z the vertical walls of deep cut fell in on Hicks and five fellow workmen.
 It was first thought that all had per. ished under the hundreds of tons of rock and earth.
 Three days later a tapping on tn iron rail of the little tramway running through the drift gave the first intima. ton that a man still alive was buried beneath the debris.
 A seventy foot pipe, two inches in diameter, was immediately forced through the debris. It reached the spot where Hicks was entombed. A heavy dirt car had become wedged in the debris in such a way as to keep the immense weight from crushing him,
 When Hicks pulled the wooden plug from the iron pipe and called to the men above him his voice sounded like one from the grave.
 By means of the pipe Hicks kept in communication with big force of res. cuers. Milk was poured down the pipe. This was the only sustenance possible to give the man for nearly two weeks. During the first two days Hicks existed on plug tobacco.

Handled More Satisfactorily.

The Washington Herald's circula-
ton is at the start almost wholly
local over one-half of it is home
circulation Only five days old, The
Herald already goes into almost one
third Of the homes Of Washington
and its immediate suburbs. It is the
home circulation The Herald wants.
and each day is swelling that circu-
lation. It is a giit-edged circulation
for the advertiser and there is quick
appreciation Of that fact.
The difficulties in the matter Of
regular and early delivery are rapidly
being overcome. The Herald thanks
its subscribers for the patience they
have manifested. Those who are still
missing their paper. or getting it ir-
regularly, are again urged to make
prompt complaint It is through this
assistance that The Herald hopes
speedily to make its delivery system
as perfect as possible
Some OF the complaints have been
due to thefts Of papers at the hands
of organized pilferers. The police are
now on the alert. and win make an
example of the rascals engaged in this
mean work.
