Ladies' Church Reception
One OF this weeks most perfectly
conducted affairs was the reception
given by the ladies OF the Christian
Church on Friday afternoon from $3.50
to $50 at the hospitable home Of
Rev. and Mrs. ]. ~ Thomas. This
was a lovely compliment shown one
of the most faithful and untiring work
ers of the church, Mrs. Maud Leigh,
whose removal from this city to Nav
asota furnished the inspiration for the
lovely entertainment, which was per-
feet in detail Cut flowers and potted
ferns gave fragrance and beauty to
the rooms, and the charm of sincere
hospitality and cordial greeting com
pleted the pleasant atmosphere of the
home
The guest list included the close
personal friends of the honoree, the
ladies of the Christian Church and the
ladies of the Eastern Star Chapter, Of
which she is member. A beautiful
guest book bound in green leather
was placed on table in the library,
and in this the guests wrote farewell
wishes for the honoree. Later the
book was presented to Mrs. Leigh in
a most tactful way by Mrs. R. NJ viii
son.
AS fitting finale to the afternoons
pleasures the guests were RECALLED with

Mrs. Traps Entertains with Ca

Mrs. Traps Entertains with Card
Party
A social affair of the week planned
on unusually attractive and artistic
lines and at the same time rejecting
charming simplicity, was the after
noon euchre and forty-two party given
Friday afternoon by Mrs. G. s. Traps
at her home at A. and NJ College,
when she entertained sixty ladies of
College and Bryan. Pink was the dom
inant color scheme so perfectly and
tremendously carried out through the
plan of arrangement. The shades were
drawn, excluding the daylight, and the
glow from many lighted pink tapers
and the electric bulbs threw soft
light over the scene. The handsome
mahogany table in the dining room
was overlaid with beautiful Cluny
lunch cloth, in the center of which was
cut glass vase filled with fragrant
pink LaFrance roses. Cut glass dishes
of pink minis and candles shaded with
pink shades surrounded the center
piece.
Amid these pleasant surroundings
several tables were placed for the
games of euchre and forty-two, and
with the royal hospitality with which
each guest was favored the games
were made most delightful. The lovely
score cards were passed by the daugh-
ter of this home, little Miss Mary, who
was much admired dressed in her
dainty hand-embroidered frock and in
her charming manner she did her part
toward making the afternoon pleasant
for the guests. When the signal for
the last game was sounded Mrs. Will
liam Newell in pleasing way pre-
scented the two prize-winners each
pair of pink silk hose.
A most elaborate lunch was served,
consisting of chicken salad, beaten
biscuits, sandwiches, crackers, olives
and black coffee. The guests seemed
reluctant to leave, so great was their
pleasure in chatting with a hostess so
gracious as they found Mrs. Traps
to be. The hostess was very ably as
sisted in her duties by Mesdames M.
Frances, ]. B. Bagley, d. w Spence
and B. Youngblood.

Charleston. w. Va. June 1S.-The
senate committee Investigating the
West Virginia coal strike rushed along
the examination of witnesses in order
to dispose of as many as possible be-
fore leaving for Washington tonight.
The attitude of Senator MARITIME of
New Jersey, who. yesterday clashed
with Quinn Morton, an operator on
Paint creek, and the attorneys for the
operators, became a matter of concern
today. The operators lawyers de-
clare that MARITIME has been unfair in
the examination of witnesses, and is
prejudiced in his attitude toward the
operators. A statement purporting to
come from MARITIME, was reproduced in
his fac simile handwriting by news
paper, aroused considerable discussion.
The statement said MARITIME would
rather sweep the streets than earn his
money as West Virginia coal operators
do"
John A. Greene, superintendent Of
the mine where the strike broke out,
was the first witness. He said the
guards We're not placed on Paint creek
until the men at work had been inter-
ferred with by strikers. The guards
were not armed until the armed strik-
ers made a demonstration. Walter
Belk, for some time in charge of the
guards, defended their conduct.

pleted the circle about the premises OF
the Funk and Anderson houses. All
the witnesses this morning were Wo-
men, including three young girls, about
15 years of age. They were all in the
.neighborhood within block or two
of the Funk and Anderson homes and
while they thought the shot they
heard sounded like a dynamite explo-
sion they generally located it between
the two houses. A good deal of testi-
mony described the report of the ex-
plosion as having duh, heavy sound.
Frank Johnson. a Iaborer. was work
ing on the Anderson place that day,
leveling the yard. He saw Anderson

there had been two men in the garage
early in the afternoon, no one else did
