MRS. VAN BROCK
LIN ENTERTAINS.
Mrs. J. A. Van Brocklin en
tertained a large number of
friends Monday night with a
Washington hatchet party, which
was'one of the most enjoyable
and unique social affairs of the
month.
The reception hall, parlor and
library were decorated with red,
white and blue; flags were hung
on the walls in geometrical de
signs, and the parlor chandelier
was ornamented with many little
hatchets in blue, red and gold.
The dining room decorations
were novel in design and care
fully carried out.
The table was draped with
white with an over covering of
mats, showing the national col
nn* rl o
ViW XXX v*^wiO**w*
The centerpiece was a cherry
tree loaded with cherries, beside
which the historic hatchet rested,
ready for its cruel work. Around
this novel design which was
planted in a standard of the na
tional colors was a border made
of George Washington hats, in
corresponding colors.
During the evening an elegant
course supper was served.—Lit

BISHOP DUDLEY’S
SUCCESSOR.
Rev. Dr. Charles H. Lockwood
of Helena Favorably
Mentioned.
Helena, Ark., Feb. 23.—Rev.
Dr. Charles H. Lockwood of this
city, for fifteen years the rector
of St. John’s church, one of the
largest Episcopal parishes in the
' Southwest, is being very favor
ably mentioned as the local suc
: cessor of the lamented Bishop
Thomas Underwood Dudley of
Kentucky. Dr. Lockwood was
j for several years stationed in
Kentucky under Bishop Dudley,
was ordained by him into the
ministry and was his close per
sonal friend for many years.
Bishop Dudley five years ago con
secrated the new house of wor
ship of St. John’s congregation

wages. The contractors - were J
paying $3.50 for a day of nine!
hours. A ruling of the Bridge
men’s pinion which went into
effect in this part of the country
January 1 last reads:
‘ |A11 members of No. 10 are
hereby notified that the wages j
between Kansas City, St. Louis
and Chicago shall not be less
than $4 for nine hours’ work
after January 1, 1904.”
The headquarters of the union
ordered the men, if no imme
diate settlement could be made,
to return to St. Louis, and they |
boarded the afternoon train for
that point.' The bridge work
had already been delayed some
by the non-arrival of some cars
of tools and machinery for han
dling the heavy work, and it is
regretable that a settlement of
the differences could not be
effected.
