FROM SATURDAY'S DAILY.
"IIoi bi Waiuu.no." The greater
number of the one hundred invitatious
issued 1y Mrs. P. C. 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.

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

to superintend the placing of the dyna
mos and testing the lamps and machin
ery. "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

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.

from Polk county, and started to drive
them down Water street, toward Korth
Salem, thinking he would find that street
clear of eople. But, j'ist as the cattle

Notarial. The governor has appoint

The Festive Fire Cracker. The
festive fire cracker has begun to get in
its work. 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.
