The Century End«.
Arrangementsofa special nature are
being made for a union watch-night
meeting to be held on the last night of
the year and the century, which will oc­
cur oil-Monday, December 31st. The
ministerial association has not quite
completed arrangements for the pro­
gram, but expect to do so at its meeting
next Monday afternoon. Considerable
interest has been manifested in the meet­
ing, and the following have promised to
speak on certain subjects of an interest­
ing nature connected with the century
just ending ILL. Boardman, W. W.
Bristow, H. S. Maloney, Judge Magers,
J. G. Eckman and Dr. J. C, Michaux.
In addition to these, the members of the
ministerial association will also take
part, and there will lie special music by
the choirs. It will be a union meeting
aud the members of all the churches are
cordially invited to attend. It is expect­
ed that particulars concerning the pro­
gram will be arranged by the ministers
at their meeting next Monday, so that
the subjects, etc., can be published next
week. The s ervice will be held at the
Methodist church and will begin at 8
o’clock.
Their Choir Made Happy.
At tile reception given to the choir by
the members and friends of the C. P.
church Thursday evening of last week
many expressions of gratitude and ap­
preciation were given for the faithful la­
bor of love on behalf of those who fur­
nish the music. Members of the choir
responded, assuring tile pastor and mem­
bers of the church that theirs was the
greater pleasure, in being able to per­
form their duty even in their humble
way. The Hobbs-Patty quartet gave a
selection, and Miss Edith Hamblin
played a violin solo during the evening,
and after the welcomes had all been said
the doors of the lecture room were
thrown open, displaying an elegant
lunch spread beneath graceful festoons
of ivy and floral wreaths.
Nchooner Wrecked al
Wood«.
The lumber schooner Pioneer was
wrecked at llaystock Rock near Woods
Sunday afternoon. The heavy swells
during the late storm twisted oil' her
rudder, and a jury-rudder was constructed
which served for a time, but finally be­
came useless. Luckily the action of the
breakers turned her head directly toward
the shore, and she was lifted in by each
succeeding wave. Three men were ob­
served on the beach, and two left, run­
ning inland, which the crew understood
to mean that they were going for assist­
ance,which was by continued the arrival
on the beach of a number of people just
as the darkness closed in. The ship­
wrecked crew was greatly cheered
through the long hours of the night by
an immense bonfire which was kept go­
ing on the beach. Constant efforts were
made by the people of Woods to get a line
tn the vessel, mid this was accomplished
after Lard work all night about 5 a. ni.,
when the crew were all safely taken
ashore, Captain Mick kelson leaving his
vessel last. The Pioneer is a three-
masted schooner owned by the Simpson
Lumber Company of San Francisco. Her
cargo consisted of almost 530,000 feet of
dressed lumber. Willi the exception of
t ie deckload the lumber is intact and can
be saved. The vessel is a total loss. She
had a crew of nine men. A life saving
slation at. this point is badly needed,
this being the fifth wreck which has oc­
