For instance, when going out between the acts at the theater to see a man. it would be necessiry to coma back armed with the affidavit of the "man," stating that you have actually seen him.

Woodmen's Katertalaraent, Despite the inclemency of the weather quite a large number of woodmen and. their friends were gathered in the Glad-stone building last evening to enjoy the initial musical and literary entertain-ment given by Salt Lake camp "o. 53, Woodmen of the world. The pro-gramme was well arranged and the selections much enjoyed. The Mandolin and Guitar club, con-sisting of Messrs. A. II. Kelson, F. D. Aubry, Thog. Ashworth, W. Kelson and A. Ii. Knowlton gave three selec-tions and riohly merited the geuerous applause accorded them. . The duet from II Trovatore, "Home to Our Mountains," by Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Whitney was well rendered and much enjoyed. Upon a second call a very pretty and amusing German ballad, "Oh, My! Ain't That Finny" was sung with good effect. Miss Ella Evans' recitations, "Gone With a Handsomer Man," and "The Intcntor's Wife," were exceed-ingly well done and much appreciated. The young lady possesses a decided Miss Alif, Mr. Ford; Miss Bishop, Mr. A. Taylor; Miss Noble, Mr. Bucholtz; Miss Lunt, Mr. W. T. Guuter; Miss Ferguson, Mr. P. K.

Mr. William Walker: Miss Tlllie PhllliDS. J. W. The week has been an eventful one In society. The recapitulation shows hops, Germans two social denominations, ays Mrs. Grundy, between which the most intimate relations should exist progressive euchro parties, box parties, fancy dress balls and so on ad in-finitum. For all of this the weather without has furnished a splendid set-ting and the music within found cheer-ful response in the silver bells without. Indeed a climax was reached. Kookledtfe. Miss Henderson, Mr. Pen-deras- Miss Allen, Messrs. M. Allen and Dr. Kavanaugh; Miss Chandler, Messrs. Edwards and Shearman; Miss Shearman, Mr. Humphrey; Miss Ander-son, Messrs. Anderson and Christie; Miss Kimball, Messrs. Russell and Woodruff; Miss Morgan, Mr. Pollock; Miss Kayhould, Mr. Parker; Miss Mr. Seligman. Very few of the ladies went in fancy dres. Tho following is a list of some of the ladies and what they wore; Miss Stella Walker very becoming peasants costume. Miss Dollie Walker was lovely as a baby. MifS Conkling wore a white dress covered over with sun flowers. Miss Morlan an Egyptian costume. Miss Nellie Walker was dressed in the style of a hundred years ago with powdered hair and patches. Mrs. S. F. Walker wore blue silk with petticoat of bluu satin brocaded with grtn and pink. Mrs. Downey rink and white striped silk with embroidered hese over dress. Mrs. McGurrin Moss green velvet en train with underskirt of white figured silk. Mrs. Chandler Blue silk draped with blue net. Mrs. J. F. Allen Changeable silk with heleotrope and silver gauze over-dros- Mrs. Brink Black silk trimmed with gold passamenterie. Mrs. Bascomb Dove colored crepe. Miss Jones Canary colored gown en train trimmed with ostrich feathers. Miss Shearman Ceil blue silk. Miss Helen Shearman Heliotrope satin with gauze overdress. Miss Sells White brocade, corsase I'Aised lor the Neatnn. A very pretty German was given on Thursday night at St. Murk's school, which brought to an end the serie of delightful and semi-inform- parties which have been given by the Cotillion club every two weeks during the win-ter. Although every preceding one has been thoroughly eujoyed by the young peoplo who have taken part, this Ger-man was certaiuly the crowniug suc-cess of them all. The following ladies acted as rhapcrones and gave out the favors: Mrs. Major Downey, Mrs. Smith, Miss Allen. The favors con-isto-of ribbons, thoso for the gentle-men with bangles attached. Mr. George Downey led the German, and it was due to his skill and tact that the ligures were executed so smoothly and the affair so generally a success. Mnuy of the ligures were very pretty and novel. One of these, in which the merry jingle of sleigh bells was heard throughout tho whole figure, seemed especially appropriate at this time. In another the gentlemen wero arranged after the manner of ten-pin- s at one cud of tho hall and tho ladies at the other, rolled a ball across the room. The gentleman struck by the ball then danced with the lady who had bowled it. Supposing the ladies to have been skillful at tenpins, the gentleman with the smallest feet would presumably be the last one to "go down." In "the chase" two gentlemen with streamers of tarleton tried to catch two couples and if successful were entitled to dance with the two ladies whose partners then retired to their 6eats, the penalty of not having eluded their captors. There was also a "tennis" figure, and one in talent but is seen best in the pathetic. Miss Mamie lirandes gave two very pretty solos, "Pauline" and "Spring song." She possesses an exceedingly soft and well-traine- d voice which falls charming sweetness on the ear. There-citatio- n "The Old Surgeon's story" by W. S. Hamilton was cleverly rendered indeed, and tho sad story of the wound-ed soldier lad upon the lield of battle struck a tender chord in every heart. The young gentleman is inclined to the tragic, and in both delivery and facial expression he displays signs of careful stage training. The piano solo by Mrs. Grace Williams was one of the most prominent features of the entertain-ment and was greatly enjoyed. Mr. W. S. Falkenlmrg closed the en-tertainment with a few remarks relat-ing to the objects, aims, etc., of the order. The entertainment was in every way a success, and reflected great credit npon the Woodmen nnd their kind assistants. Vne of Brocades. Ward McAllister is authority for the statement that a community can be as-signed to its exact rank in civilization if one knows the use it makes of bro-cades. Buds wear tulles and all imma-ture society, he states, is ruled by buds while matrons wear brocades and all developed society takes its cue from them. The conclusion be comes to is, no brocades, no real society. Perhaps the best use to which McAllister's rules can be put is illustrated by the teacher of drawing who always kept several of the most unsuccessful efforts of his dull-est pupils for the purpose of pointing out to his class what not to do. Sensi-ble people will find something of value in his oracular utterances aud conclu-sion if regarded in this light. A Lottar-Da- Fad. The ladies are now given to collect-ing coffee and dessert spoons of various kinds for use at afternoon teas. No two spoons may be alike and those are prized the most which are souvenirs of some event or the gift of some friend who has traveled in far-of- f lands. The occasion commemorated or the name of the foreign town in which it was ob-tained is neatly engraved on the handle. The craze has gained ground to such an extent that some uncharitable peo-ple intimate that ladies have been known to take home with them a spoon from some grand entertainment as a reminder of the event. The ocean-steam-table service is also said to be considered legitimate prey for these ' 'collectors." A Card I'arty. A delightful card party was given by Dr. and Mrs. Uascom last Tuesday evening at their residence on West Temple street. The prizes were very handsome. Miss Mackintosh won the lirst lady's prize, a silver shoe horn. Miss Kimball took the booby prize, a silver chatelaine for a fan. Mr. Carl Fabiau won the first gentleman's prize, a silver mounted blotter, and Mr. Woodruff carried away the booby prize, a silver ash tray. bouquet of white hyacinths. Mrs. Earl D. Gray Pink silk en train, over white and silver brocade underskirt; diamond ornaments. Miss Allen Palo blue silk en train. Miss Bishop Pinkcachmere trimmed with gray embroidered lisse over silk of the same shade. Mrs. Shroeder Whito silk empire gown. Miss Cumraings White India silk. Miss Holcomb Dark blue silk. Miss Lunt Hed crepe. Mrs. Eccles Hed silk combined with velvet with swans down. Miss Kuth Stevenson, pink silk draped with white gauze. Miss Anderson, combination of light green and myrtle green. Miss Kimball, white silk demi train. Miss Tillie Philips, black net over corn colored silk. Miss Frances Philips, gray and white costume with toguo to match. Miss Noble, black silk and gold bro-cade. Miss Lynch Black silk aud lace. Miss Kookledge Yellow dotted net over silk of the same shade. Miss Wilkes White crepe, trimmed with laee. Miss Mackintosh White India silk, with jeweled passementerie trimmings. Miss Black Laco dress. Miss Luacine Hone White Indiasilk: Miss Raybould Pink silk, with white striped net overdress. Miss Tessio Alii White mousillin de soie. Miss Gilmer White crepe gown, fawn colored cash. Miss Maud Walker Mignonette. which the gentlemen who were pre-sented with mitteus by their fair part-ners wore doomed to dance with one another during the rest of the figure. In "runniug the gauntlet" those couples that were caught by the skipping rope, in trying to dart through, were rele-gated to their seats. Anout thirty couples took part and in a short time the many colored ribbons with the dainty costumes of the ladies jnailo a very pretty sight. Miss Mile's wore pale blue silk.drapod with blue net. Miss Marshall Old rose satin with black net over-dress- . Miss Walker Light blue crepe, trimmed with ribbons of the same color. Miss Gilmer Pink lisse, over pink ilk. Miss Kimball Blue India silk. Miss Morlan Gray cachemere gown with sleeves and yoke of white mull. Miss Morlan Black silk, demi train. Mrs. S. F. Walker Black silken train, trimmed w ith jet passamenterie.

Miss Morlan White India silk. Miss Wilkes Blue and white striped pine-appl- e gauze and lace over pink silk. Miss Nellie Walker Lavender satin with white gauze over-dress- , trimmed with ribbons of all colors. Ths Stlvnr nails, Mr. and Mrs. Scongall gave a sleigh-ing party the other evening. Mr. and Mrs. Hobbs, Dr. and Mrs. Crane, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey, Miss Wagner, Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers, Mr. Wier. Dr. Follett, Mr. and Mrs. King and Miss Rodgers were among the party. The large drag "Utah" was put on runners for the occasion. Each one of tho party bad a horn or a bell. A lilt of lai Ribbon. It is noticed that when a hostess who is strictly an advocate of temperance, wishes to give a dinner party from which wine is to be excluded the guests are notified to that effect in a unique way on the invitation. A bit of blue ribbon tied in one corner conveys the information. Miss Raybould White albatrofs cloth trimmed with yellow ribbons. Miss Conklin White silk and laoe. Miss Brown Black lace. , Miss Woodward Black figured gnuze. Miss Sells, yellow satin with black lace over dress. Miss Grace Young, pale blue silk with white striped over dress.

Allen, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Chandler, Miss Morton, Mrs. Miles ami Mrs. Brastow were among tho spectators. Tho I.aup.lfenr Ball. Tho party last night was a departure from the usual order of things. The ladies, not content with the one year in four that Cupid has given them, "to fool the pain It is to woo aud woo in vain," took things in their own bands, and the result was a most enjoyable af-fair, no detail being neglected. The music was excellent and the supper, under the able management of Mis. Johnson, was delicious. The young ladies were very charitably disposed, and did not pay off old scores, as many young men feared they would, but wheuever a young lady saw a man sit-ting out a dance, she either danced with him herself or secured a partner for him. We hope the young men will remember this. Tho names of the ladies and the gen-tlemen who were fortunate enough to be selected as partners, are as follows; Miss Dnllie Walker, Messrs. Fields and Max Smith; Miss Stella Walker, Mr. Lewis B. Rogers; Miss Maud Walker. Mr. Slocum; Miss Nellie Walker, Messrs. Walter Pavey and C. S. Hardy. Miss M. Rockledge. Mr. K. B. Wicks; Miss Mackintosh, Mr. B. Holden; Miss Morlan, Mr. Hamilton; Miss Fanny Made Ward t's ful. Speaking of Ward McAllister, it seems that another sphere of usefulness has been found for him and his book. A short time ago a number of ladies at Colorado Springs gave a church fair for some charitable purpose. The usual "Rebecca at the well" of attenuated lemonade, surprise grab bag and other well known methods ot inveigling young men into temporary bankruptcy wero dulj thought of, but in order to have something out of the conventional, these ladies hit on a novel plan for in-creasing the receipts. A letter was ad-dressed to Mr. McAllister asking him for charity's sake to send them twenty-fiv- e short selections from his book with his autograph, which were to bo sold at the fair. The graciously replied by sending them tho twenty-liv- slips of paper with the precious extracts from his great literary work, and the gilded youth of the town, (nnder proper per-suasion) bought them at the rate of ten dollars per extract. This incident mi ;ht be taken to illustrate the fact that all bciugs and things created have their uses, although it may sometimes take a good deal of ingenuity and timo i discover how to utilize them. Carmencita says that American women aro good dancers, that is, they can learn to dance well if they begin young enough. Of American women there are none who dance with more ease and grace than those of Salt Lake, and it is perhaps due to the fact that the condition mentioned by the great ilanseuse is fulfilled; there is no prettier sight in the world than that frequently seen at the children's parties. Little tots who have ouly a short time ago learned to walk are seen executing the graceful motions of the dunce. Rather Inconvenient. In New York recently the invilations that had been sent out for a grand din-ner were indefinitely recalled, and each note of postponement had enclosed with it an extract from the family physician's certificate that the hostess was seriously ill. It would appear to the casual observer that there must be something radically wrong in the state ef society that requires anything of this kind. It may have been simply the re-sult of over anxiety on the part of this individual hostess to assure her friends that she was really ill, and probably was considered unnecessary by those who had been Invited. But! inasmuch as, tbi. has actually taken place, it THE U. PJEMOVAL Prom Salt Lake Oity to Ogden is Discussed by & Well Known Firm. SERIOUS BLOW TO SALT LAKE Let the Business Men Bisa np and Saj that the Proposed Changes Shall not Occur-- Messrs. Colborn & Skinner of South Main street had the following to say this morning about the proposed re-moval of General Superintendent Ban-croft's office to OgoVn: "Within live days from the announce-ment of the intended removal of'the dispatcher's and General Superintend-ent Bancroft's offices from Salt Lake City to Ogden we received a letter from one of our correspondents. The letter was loaded with facts relating to the serious injury that would be done the prosperity of this city by the removal of the offices in question. By the receipt of one letter others will surely follow. expressive of the same subject and hundreds of outsiders who are interested in tho pro-gress of Salt Lake will never be heard iork about tho middle of March to agree on schedules and connections for the ensuing six months. Kail road Notes, The conductors and brakemen of the Wabash are pleased over the substan-tial raise of their wages. The Georgia railroad has been in operation since 1845 and has never killed a passenger. It is over 800 miles long. The Denver office of J. S. Tebbets, general manager of the Union Pacific coal department, will soon be moved to Omaha. M. II. Rogers, formerly resident en-gineer, has been appointed chief en-gineer of the D. & 11. G. system with headquarters at Denver. The Rio Grande Western and Union Pacific general office employes bad a jolly sleighride yesterday afternoon in Grant Brothers "Utah" sleigh. The annual meeting of the American association of general passenger and ticket agents wi,l be held March 17 at the hotel de Monte, Monterey, Cal. There is a rumor afloat that the Mis-souri Pacific trains will soon begin run-ning over the Fori Worth between Den-ver and Pueblo instead of over the Denver & Rio Grande. The Omaha Union Pacific set of train dispatchers now work through to North Platte, a distance of 225 miles. This is a long stretch for a road having so many important trains, but the mou are equal to the task. uy me CUItIl!t i mis tunu. "If S. II. H. Clark wants to move the offices to Ogden and prefers the trade of that place to Suit Lake, let him do so, and then lot the people of this city give the Union Pacific a freeze out. After years of steady tribute to the line he manages the people of Salt Lake have aright to protest in tho mat-ter. Let the business men call a mass meeting and take this question at a busi-ness standpoint and work it until the offices shall remain here. If the citi-zens rise up and say the removal shall not bo made then Mr. Clark will understaud that he is trifling with the prosperity of 50,000 people. The re-moval means a serious detriment to the city and a tearing down of what we are trying to build up. Nobody wants to buy realty or anything else where rail-roads are being taken from a city. "Mr. Bancroft has nothing whatever to do with the change. The power lies in the east." Katns Advanced. The Southwestern railway and steam-ship association at a meeting in New York arranged to advance rates from New Orleans, Galveston and Houston to Colorado and Utah points, to accord with the proposed advance to be made from Chicago and St. Louis to Colorado. the same to go into effect today. The advance ranges from live cents on the first-clas- s down to one and one-bal- f cents on the lowest class. The e is brought about by an advance on rates from Chicago and St. Louis to Missouri river points. Kates on cotton seed oil and other products at various points were discussed but no action was taken. Jurisdiction Exteaded. K. II. Wade, who for many years was general manager of the Wabash road, but for two years past general manager of the Southern California, has had his jurisdiction extended to cover the divis-ions of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe extending from Allubupro,ue to Karstow. This is the tlrst important step taken to reduce expenses on the Pacific coast. Omeral Time Convention. The general time convention, which is an organization of the general maua-ger- s of all the railroads in the country, and which regulates nnd arranges for all through connections, will meet in regular semi-annua- l session iu New ARRESTED ON THE TRAIN, Bill Cninmlngs Taked in by Deputy L'nitsd Htatas Marshal. Deputy United States Marshal Par-sons arrested William Cummingson the train near Provo last night, and, bring-ing the prisoner to the city, threw him into the iron-boun- waiting room at the United States marshal's headquarters. The capture was a timely one. Gum-ming, who is said to have been gifted with a predilection for pyrotecnic dis-plays, knocked on the door of a private car attached to the regular last night while the train was stopping at Provo. The object of his visit he did not make known. He was not given an oppor-tunity until Joe Con ton, a colored por-ter who knows his busines, made his appearance and ordered Cummings into the car to which his ticket gave him title. Cummings took exception to this and, drawing a six shooter, was about to pocket its contents iu the porter's body, when Deputy Parsons put in appearance and arrested him. His ex-amination was begun before Commis-sioner Greenman at 2 o'clock this after-noon. --, 0 1 SHIPPING A BUFFALO. A r,f Bull Itlsoo Will I'ass Through Salt Lake. Within a few days a biff bull buffalo will be shipped through this city to the Golden Gate park at San Francisco. Wells, Farno & Company are transport-ing his lordship. The animal was raised on a buffalo farm at Garden City, Kansas, and is four years old and of genuine simon pure breed. The com-missioners of Golden Gate park paid $350 for the specimen and he will soon be placed with the antelopes and deer in the big corral at the park. |
