I'etcru , a dlnnor party. The VoHS-YntcB wedding wns the nucleus of the week's social doings. About It were clustered a few minor entertainments which , though delightful to the participants , were not of sufficient purport to swell the fioclnl chronicle. The masquerade ball given by the guests of the Drexcl hotel revived n form of entertainment most enjoyable- , aiul Its success will probably lead to a repetition. Ono leading light will probably be miss ing , however. She entered the hall late In the evening when the dance programs were nil but filled. With the grace of a queen c.onelous of her regal bearing she walked the length of the salon leaning on the arm of her escort. Her tall , lltho form was gorgeously robed In a. ball ilrcsa of black velvet whose long court train swept In unbroken folds , A glittering star gleamed from the dusky trofses which fell In wonderful curls about her shoulders. A black mask hid the face which more than one man determined to nee before the evening was over. Careless nllko of the admiring glances of the men and the envy of the women , this beautiful "Queen of Night" flirted nnd danced , till all too oo < ] , Cinderella-like , she vanished with the first stroke of 12. \Vhoro she went and whither she came was a matter of no llttlo conjecture , save to ono man , perhaps. This Impetuous youth in a sequestered spot yielded to the beauty of the charming creature and in words ar dent enough to melt niicenant , begged but for a glimpse of the fair face so jealously guarded by the black mask. Then In lan guage which would do credit to a Hcau Drunimol , ho eulogized the sparkling eyca , the alabaster brow , the ruby lips. Hut , 0 , for a glimpse of them ! After fifteen minutes of the like the "beau tiful creature" in sheer desperation snatched the mask from her face with "Hy Jove , George , I didn't know you were such an idiot. " The vision of lovllncss was a travel ing pard. VONN-YllI I'M.

WARREN TALKS i _ _ _ _ Ilrlelly JllsciiHwcN CIINC of Senator Quay of I'finiNylvniilii nml ( lint of ItotiurlM. "Foretell the answer of a woman when you ask her to marry you ; prophesy the verdict of n jury , but do not attempt to predict what the senate will do in the case of Senator Quay , " said Senator Warren of Wyoming In answer to a question Saturday evening. Senator Warren was In Ornana Saturday on his way from his home in Cheyenne to Washington with his wife and was seen at the Burlington depot. Continuing In re gard to the case of Senator Quay he said : "If the democrats in the senate vote solidly against seating the senator and the icpubllcan members vote as they have done In apparently similar cases , the senator will be denied a scat. But there are some points raised in the Quay case not covered by the other cases nnd 11 will be necessary to study the constitution of the state ot Pennsylvania before an intelligent ve'rdlct can bo arrived at. But I am not going to prophesy and no one can foretell. " In regard to the financial bill now pending before the senate the senator said : "The bill will bo discussed awhile' ' and then passed. The conference measure , which will become a law , will resemble the senate measure rather than that ot the house. Of the Roberts case In the house Senator Warren said : "The Mormons are as much divided upon the question of Roberts' eligi bility as the Gentiles. Wyoming has only ono representative in the lower house anil Is not particularly Interested In the ques tion. " HAMNER WILL STAY AT HOME Vetrrnii 1'nyinnntrr KNCUIIOM of I'nrllirr Service nnd IN Siiiu- inoiifil io H is now nn nssured fact that Mnjor Hnm- nor , chief paymaster of the Department of the Sllssourl , will escape the necessity ot going to Manila In accordance with orders iEHiicd from the War department several weeks ago. The order was looked upon In local military circles as an unnecessary hardship , Inasmuch as Major Hainner li : within t\\o yearn of the ago limit nnd Is not in robust health. Ho has been In the service over forty years and should on that account bo entitled to retirement If applica tion were made , The original order directed Mnjor Huniner to proceed at once to San Francisco , there to report to General Shatter his readiness to embark on the next out going transport. A showing of tbo situation was made before the War department and ns n result Major Hainner received nn order yesterday directing him to report nt Chicago for ex amination for retirement. Ho will leave for that city today and will be absent about a week. Major Hamner'H record u well known throughout the country , as he has been sta tioned nt almost cvury post in the north west and Houthern border. He was nt Fort Sumpter when the llrst gun of the re bellion was fired and served actively dur ing the war. Since that time he has been stationed at Fort Rlploy , Minn. , Fort Aber- cromble , Dakota , and other points In the northwest. He received his commission as paymaster while ho wns an oiriolal at the military prltvm at Fort Leavenworth , Kan. , nnd began his now duties nt Ban Antonio , Tex.

" COMMITTEE SEEKS THE TRUTH I'lilillc N lii\ licit ti > rotKrltmtr In- fiirninllou Itrlitllvc to Ciirriiiitluti In Selinitl lloiirili Itcforc the session of the Invcctlgatlng committee of the Hoard of Kducntlon yes terday Chairman llarnanl made an announcement - nouncemont that he and his col leagues would bo glad to weigh testi mony from any source whatsoever. He said that It was of course Impossible that the committee should have access to nil facts bearing on the subject and that any citizen having knowledge of Irregular actions on the part of school board members would be rendering n public service by making a statement. H was the committee's purpose to listen to the evidence of teachers regarding the methods used by certain board members In soliciting life Insurance. Those expected to appear , however , were not present and It was necessary to defer the Inquiry until Monday. The fact Is appreciated that teach ers feel some delicacy In revealing the ur gency with which members have peddled In surance policies Inasmuch as the principal alleged offender Is still on the board. The committee will take all posslblo measures to arrive at the truth , It Is said , nnd will therefore Issue subpoenas for certain teach ers. ers.There There will be no dltllculty In securing ovl- ilenco regarding the persecution of teachers by llfo Insurance ngents , as It hns been n constant source of anuoymico during the last year. A well known principal reinnrkp.il yesterday that the visits of certain board members had become nn unqualified nuisance owing to the persistence with which they had set forth the advisability of life Insur ance. The principal said that the member In question was usually accompanied by his partner , who undertook the tnsk of con vincing the teachers owing to what was termed the delicacy of the board member. While the member could not broach the subject owing to Ills olllclal position , the partner added , ho might still be able to re turn any favors In porno substantial way. On the other hand the partner alluded vaguely to consequences which might ensue hi case of refusal. Among the teachers subjected to such per secution are Miss Mao McMasters of the Lake school. Misa Mary McMahon , Miss Kate Wlckham nnd Miss Mary Lucas of the Kel- loni school. Charles D'Jureeii , janitor , was also approached nnd Is said to have made a payment on a. policy which he abandoned as soon as the agent failed of re-election to the board.
