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.

Who blest UH this to see
And helps us hento celebrate
In Joy and gnycty.
Good luck , then , to all of you !
Let all your glasses clink !
Hero's health and happiness to the two
Until the Golden Link !

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. "

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-

COMMITTEE SEEKS THE TRUTH

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.
