A SURPRISE.

A birthday surprise party was
given to Mrs. Noah Furman on the
occasion of her birthday, Saturday
night. There were eighteen guests.
Mrs. A. H. Furman and Mrs. Huff
were the promoters of the party and
we sometimes think If the younger
people more frequently thought to
make pleasant occasions for those in
declining years as the parties on this
occasion did, how much more enjoy
able would be the declining years of
life and how much more happiness
would the young secure for them
selves when they fully realize the joy
they had conferred with such small
effort to themselves.

liability and truthfulness on each
and every occasion. He is of kind
and tender disposition and to this
very fact can be attributed many of
the losses he has sustained, as many
take advantage and abuse the con-
fidence he places in them. In politics
he is a republican, but his aspirations
have never been for Office, yet he has
served one term as councilman for
the borough, which office he filed as
conscientiously and honestly as in all
his other dealingsc with his fellow
men, and today he can meet any one
of his fellow men with an unblush-
ing c~ountenance because of his fair
and conscientious dealing in all his
business relations.

REVERSIBLE SOCIAL
a GREAT SUCCESS.

The reversible social given by the
Young Peoples Christian Endeavor,
of the Presbyterian church, last eve
ming, was a success, both from a fin
ancial as well as a social standpoint.
The Dom in the basement were very
tastefully decorated with emblems of
the society, and everything was done
to make those in attendance have a
good time and feel at home. The
program consisted of the following:
Instrumental duet by Mrs. Mansel
and Miss Bergen.
Broom drill by about twelve young
ladies. The costuming of the young
ladies in the drill occasioned consid-
cradle merriment, their bonnets and
aprons being reversed.
The next selection was an instru-
mental solo by Miss Bergen.
A confusion exercise also created
great laughter. One young lady
starting to recite was Joined by an
other, who was followed by an I'M
Vulnerable number, all trying to re-
cite a different selection at the same
time.
In the sewing and hammering con
test, the prize was finally awarded
to the girls for the hammering, after
considerable discussion on the part
of the judges as to which excelled.
Mrs. Mansel and Miss Bergen fav-
ored the audience with another duet,
after which Miss Bergen rendered an
instrumental selection while the sill
yer Offering was being taken.
At the close of the program ice
cream and cake were served.
Considerable merriment was occa-
| stoned by the requirement that all
| should register their names in a re-
versed manner, and should a list of
those present be published it would
undoubtedly rival the names among
foreign residents.

To Omit Claim Work.

A Los Angeles dispatch says r.
d. Dunlap of Tonopah, one of the
principal owners of the big Tonopah-
Montana mine, is in that city secur-
ing the assistance of the Stock Elk
change and other mining organiza-
tions in movement started in the
interest of thousands of prospectors
all over the west The plan is to
petition congress at the coming ses-
sion to suspend for this year that
section of the mining laws which re-
duires 500 worth of development
work to be done on every calm.
Congressman Bartlett of Nevada has
the matter in hand and promises to
bring the subject to the attention of
Congress Immediately after it con-
yenes next month. Dunlap is in
teresting himself in behalf of the
prospectors because, under the exist
ing financial conditions many find it
exceedingly difficult to raise the
necessary funds to do the develop
ment work this year.
"Failure to do this work by De-
cember 31st," he said, places the
men at the mercy of the money
sharks or claim jumpers; that is to
say, a prospector finding himself UNI
able to raise 500 will have to
consent to turn over large interest
in what may prove to be highly
valued property to some man who
will advance this small amount of
cash, or in case of default, his claim
will be jumped. In case another man
steps in. the latter will have ninety
days in which to make good. We
have little doubt but that Congress
will suspend that action of the law
The governing board of the Los
Angeles Stock Exchange has passed
a resolution asking Senator Flint and
Congressman McLachlan to support
the suspension Star.
