The Wednesday Club Entertainment.

The Wednesday Club Entertainment.
The Art and Loan Exhibit and liv-
ing picture entertainment given by
the ladies of the Wednesday After
noon Club at Memorial hall Satur-
day evening, like all the affairs got
ten up by that enterprising and eff
cient band of ladies, was a decided
success.
AS one of the ladies remarked, it
is necessary to hold one of two art
loan exhibitions in order to learn the
number of curios that are owned in
Ashland. The Tidings would be very
glad to give a detailed report and
mention of every article in the list,
but this space will not permit. As
Mrs. Partington would say, Com
PARSONS are odorous," and therefore
it is necessary to confine any men
tion almost entirely to generalities.
In the collection were old books,
including German family Bible pub
lished in 1888, and old copies OF
newspapers dating back to colonial
days. There were also old and
unique firearms, including a four
barrel goose gun which has a record
of rs geese killed at one discharge
OF the four barrels. Geese must have
been so thick then that even the
writer could probably have killed one
with an ordinary shotgun.
There was chair from the family
of Nathaniel Hawthorne and a
trunk over 1926 years old. An organ
said to have been the first ever
brought to the Pacific coast was OH
exhibition, also a clock 70 years of
age, which licked and struck merrily
through the exhibition.
Among the curios was almost
everything imaginable from a family
of dolls from Hawaii to Navajo blan-
kets and Japanese art work. There
were samples of Mexican work which
were maryels and silver tea sets over
100 years of age.
Not only was the display of curios
a surprise to all, but the art display
showed an amount of talent which is
livery rare indeed in city of this

Murray managing both this place and
his own, which is not far distant.
Their many friends congratulate
them and hope that their lives may

OF Ashland's young daughters whose
work shows promise of bringing her
fame and fortune, as also do the
paintings of Miss Mabel Russell. one
o. which. view from the door of
Joaquin Miller's home, attracted es-
pecial attention at this time. An
other picture which attracted much
attention was the Forest Fire" by
Miss Russell, which was displayed by
itself in darkened room, Just
slightly lighted by red lights which
brought out the beauty of the pic
ture superbly.
Ihere were also pictures painted
by Mrs. Emma Tollman Helman,
Mrs. Jennie Faucet Greer, Mrs. o.
J. Stone and others, which were
decided addition to the collection and
showed a high order of merit.
A pair of oil paintings 2SO years
old, ancestors of Charles Frazelle,
painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence, at
tracted much attention, as did
painting by the wife of Ex-Governor
Knapp of Alaska, which was painted
on a panel from door in Barahoff
castle. 1t was scene in Sitka.
The evenings entertainment was
marked success, the living pictures
being well conceived and admirably
executed. AS is usual in home en-
tertainments, the little tots drew the
most of the applause The series of
Fisher Girls" was also we'll done, as
in fact were all on the program.
There were vocal solos by Miss
Francis Hamlin and Mrs. C. B. Wolf,
the latter responding to well-de-
served encore.
The ladies are to be congratulated
upon the result of the entertainment.

WoOdmen Reunion.

In order to mako amends for pre-
vious mistakes as to date of meet
ings, members of Mahogany Camp
No. 6565, Modern Woodmen of
America, the local jurisdiction went
to Talent last Saturday evening, and
held a social reunion with Manzanita
Camp of that city, which meeting
was most fitting example of the
fraternal spirit which is existent be-
tween various organizations of the
Woodmen membership wheresoever
dispersed. The Talent neighbors did
themselves proud in catering to the
wants of their visitors, a dozen or
more of whom took passage by the
Smith interurban tallyho, which left
Ashland promptly at 1880 p. m. and
returned to the Granite City about
l a. m. on Sunday morning.

Withdrawal of His Name.

That the President is seriously con-
sidering whether he should withdraw
the nomination of John b. Colpoys as
one Of the members of the excise board

after o'clock this afternoon to dis
cuss appointments with a number of

Senator Jones and Senator Works
both told the President that they were

of Mr.. Colpoys because he had ap-
peared before the subcommittee In

came n law and had denounced some of
the most important provisions of the
bill
