Howard to her lady friends for luncheon on Thursday were accepted, making a marked social event residence was ornamented with roses, ocean spray, and other flowers and vines, ' not in prolusion, but with much taste. Every part of the house was thrown open for the pleasure of the visitors, who were unstinted in their admiration for the beautiful interior with its elegant finish ing, and rich and tasteful furniture, which included every comfort and convenience tbat good taste could suggest. Many ar tistic specimens of the hostess' skill hung upon the walls. The only interruption to the general flow of conversation was the serving of luncheon, the discus sion of wmch increased rattier than diminished the pleasant interchange of sociability. The sandwiches, salads, cof fee, cakes, ice-cream, and other dishes incident to a housewife's "table-reper toire, merited and received ample ap preciation at the hands of the guests. It was remarked by some of those present that so general a party wan not often given in Salem, and certainly never a more enjovable one. As it was the first time that Mrs. Howard had opened her new resilience lor uie entertainment oi friends, it waa regarded as a "house warming," and, when the guests depart ed, it was with many kind wishes that the hostess and her family might have many future years of enjoyment of their home, not the least of which might be the social part inaugurated in so pleasant and auspicious a manner. Cmembketa. He Reached fob his Hip Pocket. A tough joke is related at the expense of the district attorney elect, Geo. W. Belt, of Polk county, who has been attending the present term of circuit court in this city, says the Albany Herald. Through an inexplaiiiable mistake the room which he had been occupying at the Revere House was assigned the other evening to newly-married couple who were on their bridal tour. In the evening they retired to the room, and, later, Mr. Belt innocently sought to enter his room. He was not prepared for the vision of femi nine loveliness, bridal rubes, orange flow ers, etc., which met his eyes, and he at once explained that "there must be some mistake." lhe irate groom thought so, too, and, reaching for his hip pocket, he exclaimed, in withering tones, "It is a mistake, is it: ' lhe legal man did not linger to argue the case, but threw up his hands and retreated through the door. His friends say it waa only when he reached the bottom of the stairs that he ventured to let down his hands, still in sisting it was all a mistake. Thosk Electric Lights. The steam er "Three Bisters" brought the boiler for the city electric light plant on Thursday, and vestenlav it was rjlaeed in noeition at the agricultural works.

"A few more davs. and then," this city will throw off its mantle of total darkness, and again "let us walk in the light." That the lights will be apprecia ted is not doubted by any one who mean ders about the streets at the hour "when churchyards yawn," etc. A.New President. At a meeting of the board of directors of Uie Albany col legiate institute held in this city last Sat urday Rev. E. J. Thompson, of Salem, was elected president of the institute for the next school year. Hie selection is one that will give general satisfaction. Bey. Thompson has had a ripe experi ence as a teacher, and, we believe, will do much to place the institute on a good footing. The board of directors will re main the same, with the exception of Kev. E. R. Pritchard in place of Dr. G. W. Gray, who retires at his own request. Kev. 1 ntchard was elected secretary ot the board. (Albany Democrat. Qxlt a KfMoa. A rumor has been floating around town of late, says a Port land exchange, that the sawmill at the north end, commonly known as Weldler's mill, was about to be sold to the southern Pacific railway companr. The rumor probably originated from the fact that some time since when it was considered certain that the Central Pacific was to obtain itotsesriiun of the O. & C. roads, and an agent of the company visited this city to nee what property could be se cured for terminal facilities, he asked for an option on the sawmill property and property adjoining both above and below. But nothing has been heard concerning the matter of late. No Lwtebmissioh. As regularly as hol- ida3-s roll around our country contempo raries give notice that, "owing to next being a holiday, there will be no pa per issued from this onice next week, and the editor, "devil' and "ad." man all skip off to the mountains for a few davs. J. he otatesmax, however, never does any thing of this kind, and its read era will find the paper on their doorstep, each morning, as usual, the fourth of July notwithstanding.

At any rate, it was given a grand salut ing, and thought, at first, that a crowd,, without the fear of the law m their hearts, was bombarding the city. Rut, that's all right.

But, j'ist as the cattle came to the loot of tenter street, one cow, a very vicious animal, saw two wo men, and made a dash at them. One of the women, Mrs. Staples, dodged the an imal, but her companion, Mrs. Jot in Bleakney, was not so fortunate. She was making for a break in a picket fence, and had but reached it, when the cow struck her, knocking the lady down. Mra. Bleakney managed to escape, and get through the fence, in some way ; and was taken back to John Booth's resi dence, on Front and Court streets, where sue has been staying lor some time, un der the care of Dr. A.

The orchestra was superb." Strange Pet. A young sea otter was recently captured in the locks at Oregon City by steamboat employes, and is now cared for by Ash street dock clerks, at Portland. It is too young to do much walking, but swims easily. An Oregon City gentleman has an older one that will follow him along the streets as a dog would. Seals are plentiful enough in the Willamette, but a sea otter is seldom seen. The Sacjidkrs' Trial.

Its first break was on "Dode" Savage yesterday morning. Some of the boys were tiring Chinese bombs, ana Dxlc" told them to lay one on top of his head, and "let 'er bust." It was laid there, and "she busted!" "Dode" was of the same opinion, when he, aftt a good deal of reaching out and grabbing, succeeded in pulling himself or what was left of him together, and began to take an inventory. After taking stock, he found he was "all there," excepting one lint blown to smithereens and the rest burned up ; one lot of capillary sub stance, rather badly singed to about a hail men under the skin ; two auricles, a little bit "crispy" from the scattering of a lot of powder 'and sand in an explosive stnU. It is likely that when a "Chinese bomb" wants to "go off" hereafter that "Dode" will stand from under, and "let er sin." The next victim was little Joe Fontaine. He got hold of a fire cracker that shot backward. It wasn't intended, originally, an a back-action fire cracker, but it seems that the left-hand end of it had not been well plugged, and instead of shooting out oi the muaale, the fire cracker broke out behind. Joe at once carried three of his best fingers to a sur geon and had them wrapped in greasa and rags. So it goes. But theoe littl "firiHHitudes" of the festive fire cracker will have no remembrance at the next fourth of July, and they will be on hand and hack at 'business at the old stand when that festive day rolls around.
