VERY GOOD
Was the Entertainment by
the Presbyterian Ladies

Every seat was occupied at the
Opera House last evening when the
first number on the program of the
entertainment arranged by the La
dies Aid of the Presbyterian church
was called.
Mrs. Osborne and Allace Cowen
opened the program with an admir-
able piano duet, followed by little
Lois Holmes, who sang Little Boy
Blue" The ladies' octette in
The Minuets' was a very neat
stunt and their singing of the diff
cult song was most pleasing feat
ure of the evening. The octette
was composed of the Misses Gala
way, Meighen, Anna Knutson,
Garrick, Patterson, Prout, Hanson
and Bottomley. The Minuet dance
as performed by these ladies was
graceful and pretty, all being attir-
ed in colonial style.
Arthur Knutson rendered the
Souvenir as a violin solo and re-
sponded to an encore. E. 7. Duff
field gave "Bedouin Love Song"
in his usually finished manner and
for an encore sang The Boliey
Fiddler" Both were applauded
with a vim. Mrs. John A. Sutton
who was next on the program was
compelled by a very bad cold to
cancel her number. The gap was
filled by the male quartette. E1iz-
abeth Western recited Lincoln S
Last hours very neatly and was
followed by the male quartette in
several we'll rendered selection.
Part two of the program was the
farce entitled. "The Real Thing. ;,
1t certainly was. All the cast were
above the average. B. 0. Strachan,
Miss Leona Hedloff and Miss Doris
Knutson being the principal char
acters. Misses Garrick, Meighen,
Way, Hanson, and Patterson also
played their parts in a histrionic
manner.

HIS FIRST VOYAGE.

The second day out Bobby was
inquisitive.
'Pa," he ventured, peering out at
the big waves, "when they say the
ocean is choppy, who chops it?"
There was no response from pa,
who was pale and seasick in a big
steamer chair.
Bobby was persistent.
fPa, when a ship tacks do they
use a hammer"
Still no response from pa. Bobby
again:
''Pa, what kind of dogs do they
use in the dog-watch?"
This was more than poor pa could
stand.
'In the name of Neptune" he
said, feebly, please keep quiet.
Can't you see there is a heavy ses
running?"
There was long silence.
"Pa."
"Well, young man?"
"W-where is the heavy sea rum
ning?"
And the next moment pa took
Bobby back to show him the ships
spanker.

The Barn Dance

The correct formula for dancing
the barn dance has been made pub
lie as follows:
Put your arm gracefully and
firmly around the girl, make a noise
like a steam exhaust and hop three
steps upward and forward. Walk
as near like a chicken as possible,
kick like balky horse to the front
and back, do a double shuttle, smile
at your lady, turn a handspring
and slide IL or Il feet. Repeat
this four times and seat your part

PRAISES AMERICAN WOMEN.

Lady Henry Somerset has taken
up the cudgels in defense Of Ameri-
can women against the too hasty
criticism of them credited to Mrs.
Cobden-Sanderson. Lady Somerset
has been acquainted with prominent
women in this country and has
passed many months in America
since she first joined Miss Frances
E. Willard in the temperance move
ment. Visiting Miss Willard at
her home in Illinois and entertain
ing her in her own home in Eng
land, she has formed no hasty judg-
ment Of women in this country, who,
she says. are the most progressive
women on the globe.

PROFITS OF AUTHORSHIP,

Anne Warner was "doing &C.
counts" the other night, and-apro-
pos of the comparative wealth ac-
cruing to playwrights and authors
she discovered that for each day
spent on ''Susan Clegg and a Man in
the House" she had received about
5000; whereas, if s'the Rejuvenation
Of Aunt Mary" runs successfully
through second season, at the end
of that season she will have received
in all about $50 day for the time
she spent on it. People who are per-
suaded that playwrights make more
than authors may remind her that
she could not write book every few
days; on the other hand, she may
tell them that second play would
place her hors de combat for life.
So, from Mrs. French's point Of
view, honors are easy !-Putnam's.

HAVE WOOD CARVING FAD.

Women Of late are much interest
ed in wood carving, possibly because
one of the European monarchies has
lately adopted the art and it is quite
fad in foreign countries for both
men and women to chisel pretty bits
of woodwork for the home. With
the regular carving tools and soft
wood it is possible for women to
design some very handsome articles.
Now that the typography needles and
colors can be added, we may expect
some masterpieces in wood, perhaps
clever limitations Of Celtic or Morse
designs.

The Maryland Workshop for the
Blind, which was incorporated by an
act of the last legislature, has been
opened in Baltimore. The object of
the workshop is to give employment
to the adult blind of the city who
otherwise would be either beggars OF
live in respondent idleness. Certain
industries which, it has been found,
can be engaged in with profit by the
blind, such as broom making, mat
trtss making and chair Gaming, will

SORROWS OF CHILDHOOD.

"By George" said the expatriate,
"the unnaturalness of living in an
apartment never struck me so forci
bly, as when my two kids laid their
letters to Santa Claus on the top Of
the steam radiator and went off to
bed trying to figure how Santa Claus
could come down the steam pipes
and up through the coils. I went
out to buy cigar before they could
ask me. Poor little kids, 10 stock
ings hung by the chimney fo- shaCa."

ONE USE FOR EARTHQUAKES.

Earthquakes are the latest cure
for indigestion. Commenting on the
San Francisco disaster, a medical
journal says: cit is an undoubted
fact that a great many men and
women who were in poor state of
health before the shock, with bad
appetites and defective digestion, are
now eating all they can get and di-
costing it without trouble, while the
mental condition which so often ac-
companies the dyspeptic state has
been equally improved"

PROFESSIONAL MEMBER.

A woman of the middle west, be-
ing left a widow with crippled
grandson to support, is making a
living and saving money too, by
mending clothes. She advertised to
do this work and received many re-
plies. One pleased customer brought
another and so on, until her time
is entirely taken up with the work
and she was able to give some of
it to others as needy as herself. One
can usually find plenty of seam
stresses, yet a woman to mend
clothes is indeed blessing in COM
munity.

At the opening of the new theater

ushers assisted the male ushers in
seating the vast audience, the young
women wearing uniforms Of black

This is the first time women have
ever served as ushers, and the result
will no doubt be watched with inter

A stranger walking nd the street

A stranger walking I'D the street
after the late snow storm said Ely
had the best kept winter walks of
any town he had been in outside
the large cities. This is no joke
and is due to the action of the
street 1aborers who after every fall
of snow run the snow plough over
all walks. Children going to school
always have clear walk long be-
fore they need it as all walks are
ploughed out to the school houses
first. 1t costs the city a little
money but the benefits derived are
ten-fold.

Said She-Oh, they will keep

you to elope and thus save the ex-
penses of a stylish wedding.

Lake Superior & Nevada

Supt, Cole, of the u. S. Grant
mine owned by that company tells
about the property. Says it is a
big mine, and will soon be a divi-
dend payer.
At the annual meeting of the
Lake Superior & Nevada Develop.
ment Co., recently held in this city
Supt. w. G. Cole, of Columbia
Cal, who is in charge of the com.
pany's property, the U. S. Grant
at that place said in part:
Gentlemen
4 am no speech-maker. l am
not used to addressing large audi.
ences such as this. I cannot put
into words the things 1 know in
the way a skilled orator would do,
but if l could take you into the U.
S. Grant mine / could show you
what we have there.
I know more about mining than
do about talking and when you
ask me to tell you about the Grant
mine all I can say is that it is an
A No. 1 property and 1 wish
could take you all out to see it. II
you could only visit it you would
know and you would not hesitate
to put up the money your president
asks you for. All that the Grant
needs is money to be used in fur.
ther development and to take the
ore out of the ground, to make il
a big dividend payer. AS presi
dent Hagberg has said it can BIZ
made a good proposition without
any more money being spent on it
but it will take a long time, while
if you will do as he suggests ano
put up a little more money to de
velop it on larger scale it will, ii
my opinion, make a big dividend
payer in short time.
We have done lot of work OF
the Grant in the past nine months
We have developed the property
with shafts and cross-cuts. We
have built a mill and put in all the
machinery and tools and we have
taken out gold which many of yot
have seen. But you stakeholder:
all know what has been done there
You have seen the pictures of the
whole property, the mill and every
thing else, as the company has sem
you an album of photographs. /
you have not received one it will
be sent to you upon request. Ev.
cry one of you should see this as
every stakeholder should see what
his money has been spent for.
Gentlemen. again l want to
say that l believe you have a good
big property in the Grant and
by proper development, it will
prove to be one of the big gold pro,
ducers.
Surrounding the Grant are sew
eral good properties, the Star mine
owned by the Hays Bros. formerly
of Ironwood, Mich, which has
produced millions; the Keltz mine
owned by Cleveland, Ohio, people
that is also famous dividend pay
er, and the Riverside, which is be-
ing developed on large scale, such
as your president suggests the
Grant should be. And last but not
least, the Sonnet, operated by
Chas. D. Lane, the famous million
aire miner of California, who has
made millions in mining, is a
neighbor.
You have good property and
it will make a great mine.
All you need to do is to see it
and then you will know it. Come
out yourself or send someone to
see for you. Mining Stock News.

GOVERNMENT JOINS IN
BAY POLLUTION SUIT.
Enters Litigation Brought by
New York,

1t was decided yesterday by the
United States Supreme Court at Wash
ington to permit the Federal govern
ment to join with New York in the
suit of the latter against New Jersey to
try n prevent the Passaic Valley Sew
erage Commission from emptying sew
g from the proposed trunk sewer
along the west bank of the Passaic
river into New York bay.
The Federal government asked to be
made a party to the suit, because of
the injury, it vas claimed, the New
Jersey sewage would do the government
in h bay. The Harbor Line Board,
which recently investigated the sewage
question. has not reported yet to the
secretary IF war, but it is said the re-
port will favor New Jerseys contention
