THE COURIER.
Decidedly the best thin? I noticed In
a hasty reading of the magazine was
an article on the Strassburg Cathedral
by Mr. Henry Marwln Belden, who two
years ago was Instructor In English at
the university and who Is now a student
In Germany. It Is thoughtful, calm, un
usual and has about it a quiet charm
that makes It pleasant to read. It be
gins by telling how the great church
moved Goethe and overcame his preju
dices against the Gothic, which is a
pretty good recommendation for the
cathedral.
I notice that Sutton and Hollowbush
will move from Eleventh street to O.
Five years ago all the tide went down
that way. Every one moved Into Elev
enth until down to L street. Eleventh
was strictly commercial. Every store
room was occupied and every block was
full. On Saturday the sidewalks were
so crowded that you had to fight your
way through. Now it is all changed.
All the merchants who moved down
there In prosperous times are coming
back to O street. Some better off than
when they went; some worse..
There are some figures of the late
election that are Interesting. Two years
ago Fred Miller carried every ward of
the city except the Sixth and lost that
by only eight votes. His entire vote
in the city was 246S. and his plurality
was 272. This year he lost every ward
In the city except the First and carried
that by only eleven votes, and his entire
vote in the city was 2153, while Tromp
en's plurality was 699. Trompen's total
vote In the city was 2852 or 656 more
than that of Alva Smith. In the county
precincts Miller gained 127 votes over
his vote of two years ago, and Trompen
gained 502 over Smith's vote. The total
vote on sheriff this year was 9647, Beech
er and Kelly receiving 546 while two
years ago the total was 9183, of which
BIng, the prohibition candidate, receiv
ed 1052.
But even more interesting figures to
a. republican are those which show the
respective growth and decline of the
different parties. In 1894 the highest
republican candidates for regent re
ceived 4849 votes. This year the high
est candidate received 5685. a gain of
over 800. Two years ago the populist
candidate received 2018 votes. This year
the populist candidate received 1833
votes, a loss of about 200. Two years ago
the republican candidate for coroner re
ceived 4815 votes; the populist candidate
1806 votes; the democrat candidate 2011
votes, and the prohibition candidate
554 votes. This year the republican
candidate had 5469, a gain of over 600;
the populist candidate had 1S58, a gain
of 50; the two democratic candidates
1344, a loss of 650; the prohibitionists
650, a gain of 100.
On the head of the ticket the republi
cans of the county polled nearly 53 per
cent of the votes In 1893; and in 1895
nearly 57 per cent; this in spite of the
fact that quite a number of republicans
voted for Maxwell. These things show
that there is a steady gain in the repub
lican ranks, and that the opposition is
gradually falling away. Next year the
republicans will poll 65 per cent of the
entire vote.
Another thing worthy of notice Is
the evenness with which Low and
Trompen ran, Low receiving 175 more
votes than Trompen. In nearly every
ward In the city Low ran a few votes
ahead of Trompen. In nearly every
precinct in the country Trompen ran
a few votes ahead of Low. This pretty
effectively gives the lie to those who
said there was treachery on the part
of either.
The lesson of the campaign is that
when the republican party nomina
nates good men In this county they can
not be beaten not even when a barrel
of unlimited size Is opened.

SOCIAL GOSSIP
&&&SSeMM
The Sigma Chi fraternity celebrated
their existence, their high mightiness,
their past and their future, by a grand
reunion at their rooms at the Halter
block Saturday evening. The alumni
from abroad were" well represented and
several of the charter members were
present. After lounging about In the
smoking-room enjoying good cigars and
old stories, the gentlemen adjourned to
the lunch-room across the street. The
toasts were assigned to Paul Clark, A.
W. Scott, Fred Shepherd. Will Hardy.
J. J. Angleton, J. H. Mockett, Professor
Ausley, Dan Wheeler, Clement Chase
and Judge Spurloch of the alumni, and
C. C. Pulls of the present membership.
Mr. John Dixon was toastmaster. The
story-telling continued until the hours
grew small and singing lustily they An
ally disbanded.
The Patriarchs party last Friday
rather lacked In numbers, but the de
ficiency was more than made up for by
the congeniality of the crowd. Present
were: Messrs. and Mesdames C H. Im
hoff, W. B. Ogden. I. M. Raymond, C.
E. Yates. R. O. Phillips, John F. Gull
foyle. Carl Funke; Misses Jones; Lulu
Clark, Harris, Cather; Mrs. Muir, of
Denver; Messrs. Stull, Owen, Lyon,
Cook and Faucon.
' One of the charming social features
of last week, which was rather a giddy
week in society, was the six o'clock tea
given by Miss Maude Hammond to her
friends Saturday evening. The house
was decorated with chrysanthemums,
and the tea tables were resplendant
with glossy linens and dainty china. At
each plate lay a gorgeous chrysanthe
mum. The grouping of the guests at the
tables was especially fortunate and the
big parlors rang with mirth until at
last the good nights were regretfully
said. Tea was served In four elaborate
courses and the guests, who were most
of them Just in from the football game
were unusually susceptible to the deli
cacies which Miss Hammond's little
brothers gracefully served. There was
solid nourishment on which to pin one's
faith, as well as Ice cream and angel's
food, for a football audience is not
ethereal in appetite. Miss Hammond Is
a hostess at once sincere and gracious,
the two elements which make up true
hospitality. About fifty guests were
present. Among them were Mrs. Bar
bour, Archibald Scott, Mrs. Taylor.
