Paris, Sept. 10. -In one of the most
remarkable decisions rendered by a
French court, the secretary of the
Electrical Workers' union Is sentenc
ed to pay damage to two members of
the union because they were thrown
out of work on the night of August 8.
when Paris was dark. The court
ruled that the electrical workers
strike called will result in a sort of
military alarm and must be recog
nized as malicious, since it overthrew
the city's economic life and deprived
those who wanted work. There Is no
appeal from this court. .

Mrs. Bohnenkamp on Second street.
A large number of ladies were pres-

which she read aloud while the rest
took notes, and in this manner a very
profitable as! well as enjoyable after
noon was spent.
The rooms, were rendered more beau
tiful by the lavish use of flowers, and
especially attractive was the dining
room table, on which a dainty buffet
lunch was served! the china and Bllver
ware being almost hidden by vases of
long-stemmed pink La France roses.
One large bowl filled with roses
formed the centerpiece, while pretty
pink rosebuds were strewn in artistic
profusion, marking the sections where
the different courses were served.
Mrs. Grady and Mrs. Donohue as
sisted the hostesses In receiving and
serying, and a snug sum was realized
to assist the ladles In preparing for
their church fair to be held in the
near future.' "V :'';V ; 1 ;".

now In the jiame of William Poilman
was extended, he had parties ready
with the money who would proceed
with the building of the street rail
way, says A Baker City naner. Mr.
Poilman could, If the franchise was
extended, transfer the same to the In
terested parties. Ha asked for an ex
tension of 12 months, and for an
amendment to the franchise allowing
the use of either electricity or easollne
power. -
He said the Philadelphia Bonding
company was ready to take the bonds
and advance the money to build the
road. Council, upon motion of Mr.
Cooper, agreed to have an ordinance
prepared to .extend the time for the
building of the road 12 months, and
for an amendment to the ordinance so
the gasoline or electricity could be
used. On roll call Smith and Wright
voted, "No." -
Mr. Mohr stated that he was in a
position to say to the council that he
would bring his engineers out at once
and make the surveys and begin the
building of the road in the spring.
It will be one of the greatest im
provements possible for the, city to
have the road built And it will fur
ther advance the city to have it ex
tended to the country for the accom
modation of farmers and the nearby
country villages
