The Hood IJiver .?nn has the following
notice which we suspect refers to a
former Dalles girl. Under a "Married"
head it says : "At Portland on Wednes
day, Dec. 20th, Mr. J. II. Ferguson and
Miss Anna Dehm. This item explains
Jud's suspicious actions of late, and his
visit to tho big city last week. Mr. and
Mrs. Ferguson arrived in Hood Itiver
Fiiday evening, and the Sim joins with
their nutnoroiu friends in hearty con
gratulation anil goo I wishes."
For somo time past it would appear
that the membeis of tho Methodist
church "loved darkness rather than
light" so dim have hern the lights in
the church. Thedifliculty has been due
to the arrangement of the jets. Today
woikmen are engaged in putting in new
lights and rearranging them, so that
ibev dill he in readiness for Sunday
night, w hen the ehoir.assistcd by outside
tal'-nt, will give a sacred concert from 8
to 0:15 o'clock, at tho close of which all
who desire may remain for a watch
night service, which tho pastor intends
to make most inteiesting.
Above all tilings we must bo stilish.
Why, wo might as well be out of the
worid as out of the style. Theiefore, it
it Is Btylieh to reach an entertainment
when wo should bo going homo, by all
means lei us cause such concert, theater,
or whatcvei it may bit, to have the cm
tain rise at midnight. If the managers
refuse to ncquieico, then must wo
enter late, wall; pompously up the aislo
dining the most interesting part, tread
on people's toes in reaching our seats
and stir things up generally. Dalles
people are nothing if not stylish and
wo will soon reach the zenith of our
ambition in that lino If we continue.

GLEE CLUB CONCERT.
Tho V. or O. StintriiU tit tin; llnliluln
I.ant Night.
Tho interest wliich has been taken by
Dalles people in the Elalo university,
particularly eince so many from her own
holders have been students of that In
stitution, was grently intensified last
night, when sixteen of the students snng
into their hearts the enthusiasm which
they themselves feel.
Tho personnel of the gleo club which
wo refer to is as follows: Prof. I. M.
Glen, director; First tenor A. 11.
Eaton, A. L. Fmzer, K. C. Miller, E. S.
Van Dyke. Second tenor W. G. Beat-
tie, J. A. Gamber, J. E. Tyree, II. Sweet.
First bass J. 15. Winstanley, It. U.
Robley, L. L. Goodiich, C. W. Jackson.
Second base II. E. Deiiftnorp, A. E.
Meservc, F. A. Strange, R. Noma.
The object of the annual holiday tours
thus made hy the students is mostly of a
social nature; tending to bring tho
students in touch with the people of the
state and through them to awaken a
deeper interest in the educntionu! work
which the university is accomplishing.
Last year n tour of the southern part ot
tie stale was made; while the boys nie
now visiting the tonm in Eastern Ore
gon. A largo audience of representative
Dalles peoplu wero present when tho
curtain rose last night and a fine-looking
lot of young men appeared and sang as
an opening chorus n selection "Oh Ore
gon," writu-n by Prof. Stiong and the
music composed by Prof. Glen. Of
course they were encored, as was also
the case in the various selections given,
most of them being veritable ccdlege
songs.
In part second so greatly was the "Lit
tie Poweet" chorus and following tncorcs
appreciated that they were called back
eis titnee. A very pretty arrangement
was that of "Massa's in the Col' Col'
Ground," in which Prof. Glen eang tho
solo, with a chorus nccompaniment tin
itating n lanjo. While college songs are
taking, after nil the introduction of a
number of such selections as this, which
have what we might term a "soul" in
them, would add much to their enter
tainment. In Rpite of tho many encores
given during the evening, each was
kindly responded to, proving the staying
quality of their voices.
Prof. I. M. Glen appeared in two solos
and to tho first eneoto lie responded,
declining the repeated demands in tho
latter case. His voico is of a rich bari
tone quality and tho ease witli which he
sings is very pleasing to hia listeners
His selections wero difficult, but tho
singer was equal to the requirements.
Prominent among tho members of the
club is Mr. Allan Eaton, of La Grande,
whose monologues gave that spico to
tho entertainment which is born of
variety. His first selection was Riley's
"Little WeBley's Absence," which
was greatly in contrast with tho latter,
n travesty on tho school boys' declama
tions, displaying great versatility.
Another member who is indispensable
to tho success of tho club ia Mr. Arthur
L. Frazer, tho pianist. As a listener
was heard to remark, ho can "claw
ivory." His extcution is lemarkable,
particularly in so young n pianist.
These two artists, JCaton und Frazsr,
appeared at the close in a travestry on
"Ingoinar," which was at once nmusing
and meritorious. The costumes were
well gotten up and the entire pioduction
rendered admirably. Thoso who have
heard "Ingoinar" scarcely rccognl.'il
beneath the play of woids the real senti
ment intended, and "Pin tlieniu's" deli
uitinu of love as an "Itching of the heait
that can't bo scralchtil" was entirely
new to them.
At the close of tho conceit tho mom
hers of tho High cchool alumni and u
number of their friends received the
members of the club in the parlors of
Mrs. E, M. Wilson's home, which was
very prettily decorated with evergreen
and holly, and where an hour was spent
in social gicetlng, which was most
pleasant. A short program was given
nnd refreshments served. It was grati
fying to thoso who wero present to meet
these young men who nro endeavoring
to make tho most of life, mid they In
turn expressed tiieir appreciation of tho
gieoting received.
A NEW BOAT.
ill ii II. P. X- A. N. tjo, Will II mid a Saw

Again must wo go away from homo
to obtain the iiewa, that is with snfilcleut
assuinncu to give them to our readers.
While tho reporter was given an Idea
yesterday that tho I). P. & A, N. Co.
was about to have a new boat unlit ; nt
the same time we wero cautioned :
"Don't say anything about it until
more definite urrungements are made,"
und bo we obeyed; but evidently tho
same Injunction wae not given the Tele
grum, for last night's edition says:
"Plans for the new boat to bo built for
The Dalles. Portland & Astoria Naviga
tion Company liavo beeu changed, and
eho will bo a propeller Instead of a
Btern-whceler. The boat will be built
something like tho Inland Flyer.but will
be an improvement in every respect.
The dimensions will be: Length, 130
feet; breadth, 10 feet; draft, (I feet 0
inches. She will bo 20 feet longer than
tho Flyer nnd ono foot greater breadth.
"Tho additional length gives room
for many Improvements. Joseph Sup
ple, who will build her, has a model
which shows that she will have lines
like a racing shell. The stern, instead
of being cut off short, as in tho case of
tho Inland Flyer, will extend out grace
fnllv over tho water. This will allow
the use of n Case wheel; that is, the
propeller, instead of beingdirectly under
the stem, will bo far under the boat, as
is the case in torpedo-bonte, nnd will al
ways be under water, no matter how
the vessel rocks. Tho rudder will also
be well under tho stern; In the case of
the Inland Flyer it was hung right at
the stern.
"The engines of the Flyer will be
used, but there will be additional boiler
power. The boat will have two decks,
an elegant dining-room and kitchen,
and n promenade deck occupying the
space below, and on the upper deck will
bo tho ladioB' cabin and the gentlemen's
smoking-room. Half a dozen berths
are also piovided.
"A draft of the boat as she will appear
when completed shows that she will be
a beauty. It iB the intention of the D.
P. & A. N. Co. to spare no expense, and
she will be made luxurious nnd elegant
throughout, She will be built to catch
the tourist trade, which increases year by
year as the fame of Oregon's Columbia
river scenery spreads abroad.
"Mr. Supple will put on about 15 men
next week and tho new boat will be
hegun immediately. Slio is lo be com
pleted to turn over' to the owners by
April. The contract was EignedatThe
Dalles yesterday."
