Choir is Entertained. Tuesday -evening the choir people ot the Methodist church passed a few hours very pleasantly at the spacious home of J. H. Dougherty on High street. Regular rehearsals have been discontinued for the summer, but the musical bunch can always be gotten together for a good time. After they had assembled themselves together at the time and place above mentioned, great was their surprise to see enter upon the scene an aggregation of col ored coons such as has never been seen before nor since. These were introduced to the astonished guests by "Rastus Elhart Rigg" (J. O. Rigg), who acted as master of cere monies, as '"Dr. Sam Johnsing Til ton" (Edgar Wolcott), "Miss Mandy Gertie Engle" (Clayton Borror), "Miss Belinda Frances McWilliams" (Myrtle Dougherty), "Sambp Boi't ror" (Clinton Wright), "Possum Linkun Barnhill" (Peter Reuf), and "Llzy Dinah Wolf" (Alvin Wheeler). The makeup of these black beauties would have made the average min strel show look like thirty cents. Such shiny black faces, brick-red lips, eyes and teeth of alabaster white nes. , aSid costumes surely real bucks and wenches were never ar rayed like all of these! With Miss Belinda at the piano, the cork-faced rascals gave an impromptu program, imitating as best they could the mu sic of the choir. This gave the erst while singers the chance of a life time to hear themselves as others hear them, an opportunity which they enjoyed to the fullest extent. The song by the "T. Y. B. B. Quartet" (Tllton's Young Bootblacks) certain ly took the hoe-cake. The rest of the guests were kept convulsed with laughter by the ridiculous appear ance and performances of the ama teur minstrels. After some beautiful piano duets by the Misses Edna and Myrtle Dougherty and remarkable Imitations ot phonograph singing by Miss Minta Cherry, the purpose of the gathering was made nnnnrent when Dr. G. W. Gregg asked Dr. C F. Tilton to come forward and wltu a few well-chosen remarks of appre elation presented the latter with finely engraved gold signet ring and cuff-buttons. Dr. Tilton resnnnded with thanks, not only for the pres ents but for the loyal support the HOUSE OF COMFORT Hotel Manx Powell Street at O'Farrell SAN FRANCISCO Best located and most popular hotel in the city.

The roses are scarcely withered on the grave of Miss Myra Homes. Her numerous friends have not yet. recov ered from the shock of her sudden taking away. As bright and pure as a rosebud herself, not ready yet to fall at the touch of the grim reaper, it is' right and proper that one who knew her well from young girlhood should speak of the qualities of one so richly endowed. Rich In all the good qualities that touch the heart, all who knew her loved her. A great lover of nature, she was both poet and artist. Few people are so versatile as she was in the accomplishment of those things that charm and are fragrant. A mu sician of merit, she taught it for the love of it and her pupils learned it for the love of her. Her hands were deft in the contrivance of things that will now be oherlshed as mementoes. She enjoyed to work in clay and has left charming specimens of the pot ter's art. With saw and wood she loved to form such things as belong to the schools of manual training. A great student, she read much and her taste guided her to that which was best. Apt at repartee, her companions were kept on guard and at their best, but what she said left no sting. With a high sense of humor, she was the life of any party of her associates. Her love of nature led her and she came to learn much of flowers and plants, animals, bees and birds. She was a TRUE lover of nature and such an one would banish pain and suffer ing. Hence, the sick and afflicted found in Myrk Homes always "a very present help n the time of need." She loved the open fields and toiled in God's out of doors for the love of it. Always happy and upright, moth ers felt no fear when their daughters were in her company, and the schools came to look upon her as their help and guide at entertainments and commencements. i Such an one must be missed by all who knew her and a whole commun ity of friends would say Amen to any proper tribute to Sier memory. The family so fortunate as to have such a spirit at its table and hearthside must of necessity be blessed and when this spirit of gentleness and goodness is taken so suddenly the loss cannot be measu-ed and scarcely borne. Yet, happy should they be that she was permitted so long to abide with them. Some of us are growing old and now live more in the retrospect than in prospect, but one might live td the ripest old age and if tempered and endowed a3 Myra Homes the retro spect called up by memory would keep declining years bathed in peace. Such characters are guides to good ness, and even in short lives accom plish more of good in the world than many a centenarian. When we look over such a life we know the world is better it has lived and when we call the roll of friends and lovd ones gone before, we feel strengthened in the belief that somehow, somewhere out yonder in the great beyond they are waiting for us. Life! I know not what thou art, But know that thou and I must part'. Then steal away, give little warning, Choose thine own time; Say not 'Good-night' but in some brighter clime Bid me 'Good-morning.

Mulkey and Cherry were officially notified today, that the general land office has sustained the appeal of Mary A.
