Complimentary Recital to Visiting
Ladies'

Complimentary Recital to Visiting
Ladies'
The recital given by Mrs. e. H.
Astin at the Elks' Hall yesterday, aft
ernoon was an event which takes a
prominent place in the annals of the
year. 1t was a brilliant affair charac-
terized by that distinctive charm
which is always marked feature OF
her hospitalities, and this elegant af-
fair but sustained the reputation OF
this popular hostess for beautifully
arranged entertainments. The pleas
ant affair was given complimentary
to Mesdames F. Dudley Perkins OF
Mckinney, William e. Astin of San
Antonio and Fred Pryor of Austin.
These three charming honorees are
great social favorites in Bryan and
their visits here are source of great
pleasure to their many friends.
Magnificent poinsetta, fragrant car
nations and holly wreaths were used
with artistic effect in the floral en-
bellishment of the reading room; gar
lands of smilaX festooned the arch
way and chandelier, while here and
there about the room were vases and
bowls of lovely red blossoms. The
guests passing from this room to the
large ballroom, where the recital took
place, received a gracious welcome
from Mesdames E. H. Astin, o. H.

ly beautiful and elegant, the Yuletide
season being effectively suggested
everywhere in the color scheme of red
and green, the holly wreaths and poin-
setta blossoms being used to produce
scene of unusual beauty. Garlands
Of the beautiful bamboo vine formed
mural tracery about the room, on
the tendrils of which were caught
poinsetta blossoms. Arches connect
ing the four large columns in the CEN
ter Of the hall were twined with a
graceful vine and myrIads of red in
candescent lights twinkled amid the
foliage. From the center of each arch
hung a holly wreath tied with red
ribbon. This effective scheme of deco
ration formed a pretty bower for the
punch table which was overlaid with a
red cover with a tracery of plumosa
fern and poinsetta blossoms. Just
above the table a molly bell was
formed of wreaths, around the edge
of which were numerous red lights
forming a pleasant effect. Misses
Florence Perkins, Clara Astin. Juliet
Castle and Onah Astfn saw that each
guest was served with the refreshing
punch. Then the guests were ushered
to their seats by Misses Tabitha Mil

Miss Louise cline Entertained


Miss Mary Louise Cline entertained
a large number of friends on last Mon
day afternoon at the home of her par
ents, Dr. and Mrs. w. B. Cline, the
pleasant affair being given compli-
mentary to her cousins, Misses Eris
and Gene Gustavus of Amarillo. On
account of the inclement weather the
children were entertained in the
house where warmth and cheer pre-
vailed. The adornment of the rooms
was extremely lovely, being gay with
Christmas wreaths and bells. Many
games and conttSts furnished the pro-
gram of amusement for an hour or
so. The merry voices told OF joy I'M
bounded and more JOY was evidenced
when they were ushered into the din
ing room where tie table was laden
with choice decorations and good
things to eat. The Christmas season
was effectively suggested in the table
arrangement. In the center was a
Christmas tree on which were many
brightly burning tapers and stocking
filed with candy for each guest. On
pulling red ribbon that extended
from each plate to the tree each child
received a stocking Of goodies. The
place cards were tied to candlestlcks
that held burning tapers, and these
were afterward given as souvenirs.
Hot chocolate and cake were much en-
joyed by all present and the smile
which was seen on the children's
faces told of the pleasure they were
enjoying.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

God bless you all, it's Christmas.tide,
Peace, Joy and love on earth abide;
God bless you all, on land and sea,
The good and bad, high, low degree;
The young and old, the fool and seer,
They all are His, each loved and dear.
The rich and poor, the great and small,
The poor outcast, God bless them all.
The homeless vagabond that roams-
Tonight outside OF cheerful homes;
The kind and hard, the sinner, saint,
The robust, strong, the sick and faint;
The races of all hue and cline
A PRAYER for these this Christmas
time;
Oh, may Christs love upon you fall,
Bring Christmas cheer; God bless
you ALL
Where cruel grief stalks gaunt and
cold
And brushes hearts in its grim hold;
Where poverty's pale form abides
And mocks the glow of warm firesides,
Oh. Prince of Peace! abide with these
And comfort them, their wants APP
Dease.
IT'S Christmas-tide, that manger stall
Brings hope and love, God bless you
all.

State Senator Crosson is being COM
mended on all sides for his manly
fight for his bill to wind up the affairs
of the old State dispensary and to
abolish at once the commission ap-
pointed by Governor Blease year
ago. This bill will save South Caro-
lima thousands of dollars, as the COM
mission has not turned single dollar
into the treasury since it took charge
of the affair. In speaking Of the mem
bsrs of the Senate who will stand for
another term the Columbia correspond
ens of the News and Courier thus
speaks of Lexington's Senator:
''Senator D. NJ. Crosson, OF Licking
ton, will seek reelection and his rec
ord in the Senate is one which is
pleasing to his county. He is the au-
thor of the dispensary wirding-up bill,
and has taken an active part in many
other important measures for the ben
eft of the people,"

There is some dissatisfaction among
the people of the Fork, occasioned by
the lower section annexing to Rich
land county under an act of the Legis-
lature. Many of those who favored
tie move year ago now prefer stay
ing in the old mother county. and
many criticisms are heard. The an
nexation takes in only two towns
BalIentine and White Rock. 1t has
caused a general mixup in the school
districts, and is undesirable to many
for various other reasons.
Coming back to the towns, lrmo is
growing. Some of the best people IN

have been doing well and have but
little right to complain. Mr.. John w.

CANAL EQUIPMENT
URGED FOR alaska
SECRETARY FISHER HAS
SCHEME FOR NORTHLAND
Tools of Construction in Panama
Zone Recommended for Transfer
To Alaskan Coast to Be Used i'm I'M
proving Harbors and Rivers.

Washington, D. c., March 19.-Sec-
retary Walter Fisher of the interior
department, who has just returned
fom a trip TO the Panama canal. tolG
President Tart that he had found af-
ter talks with the engineers of the
canal that there will be available for
use on the government constructed
railway in ALASKA. a great deal of
material. This equipment would save
the government many thousands of
dollars should congress authorize a
railroad designed to open up the great
coal fields of the far northwest terri
tory.
Secretary Fisher has set his heart
upon doing something for the devel-
opment of the natural resources in
Alaska, especially in the coal fields
owned by the government There
can be no development without a rail-
road Private capital under the pres
ent conditions. will not furnish the
money. In his annual report, Fisher
recommended government construc-
tion and President Taft backed that
recommendation by a message to con-
gress
Fisher wants to see a railroad from
Seward, a deep water port. to the
Matanusen coal fields. If congress
will authorize such a railroad much
money can be saved by using railroad
materials from Panama that will not
be needed there after the finish of
the canal
Fisher said today for instance, that
he had ascertained that 1900 flat
cars will be released when the canal
is finished and in operation. The cost
is about $1110 each.
The Panama railroad is a five foot
gauge road. wider than the standard
roads in this country. The cars, how
ever, could be changed to standard
gauge for cost of something like
s27.50 each The cost of transporta-
ton of the cars to Alaska would not
be great as it could be done by water.
Fisher will prepare data for use
he hopes to nike of it before con-
gress. He will demonstrate that the
splendid engineer corps constructing
the canal could also be transferred to
Alaska for railroad work there.

STRIKERS AT HOQUIAM
CLOSE SECOND PLANT
Greeks Clash With Police. Are Ar
Arrested and Locked in City Jail.


Hoquiam, Wash.-The Hoquiam
Lumber & Shingle companys mill
has been shut down by strikers, the
men in the mill proper walking out.
There are now two plants idle as
result of the strike the other being
the Northwestern Lumber company's
plant. Several Greeks were arrested
afte a fight with officers at the North
western plant, and were taken to the
city jail.
Manager Al Kuhn announces that
the mill will remain closed indefinite
ly. The first class of the strike came
at the Northwestern plant when a
special officer on guard attempted to
eject an agitator who tried to induce
those Greeks who had not quit last
week to leave their work. A free-for-
all fight was precipitated, and one of
the strikers was hit over the head
with a hammer. sustaining slight
scalp wound. The Northwestern con-
tinues at work, however. other plants
in Hoquiam are also working.
