While there were not many who kept "open house" New year's on college hill, the event of the evening was the party given by the Nautilus clnb at the residence of Mr, J. F. Senour, 1341 Dillon street The pleasant home was decorat ed with cedar and pink carnation and many potted plants. Over the mantel was the club motto on pink back ground framed in cedar, "We Are One." In the back parlor was the word "Nautilus," framed in the same manner. During the evening Professor Lovewell made a few remarks on the object and work of the club, and read "The Chambered Nauti lus." This being the birthday of the ho3tes3 and her son, a pleasant surprise was given her in the form of a beautifully decorated table, with smilax and fern and pink car nations, and on it a large birthday cake with pink decorations. Rev. Charles M. Sheldon made the presentation, with a few very happy and witty remarks. In the dining room was a "Picture Gallery" which caused no little merriment. Each guest had brought the youngest picture of themselves. There were a few which were taken fifty years ago. Some of the dignified prof's of Washburn colloge were there, in their high chairs, taken at a very tender age, while many of the younger guests were also there taken in their bibs and piaafores, rosy round faced lads and lasses. No names were given, and each one was expected to guess the original, which was some times difficult to do. Refreshments were served, the last course being "nuts to crack," in the shape of gilded walnuts containing "sliced conundrums." The matchinff of these caused much amuse ment. There were present Prof, and Mrs. J. T. Lovewell, Rev. C. M. Sheldon, Prof, and Mrs. Whitteinore, Rev. Mr. Farrand, Judge Adams, Dr. Harriet Ad ams, Miss Adams, Rev. and Mrs. Stewart Sheldon.

Badders, Rev. and Mr3, Scarrow. Oxford Club Party. Library hall has never looked prettier or been more tastefully decorated than for the New Year's eve party by the youug society people. Palms were used a great profusion, and a pyramid of these graceful plants was in tne center of the stage screening the musicians. From each side above this was a most artistic draping of smilax and ropes of Christmas greens which was duplicated at the entrance. Smilax and holly were also used pro fusely everywhere. The young ladie3 all wore beautiful new costumes and the party was rarely beautiful. The pretty effect was largely due to the efforts of the young ladies of the decorating committee who assisted the officers of the club. They were Misses Vera Low, Eina Crane, Lillian Whitelock, Edna More house, Mabel Knowles, Libbie Hazlett, Craudthwa.Packard, Berenice McDonald, Edna McClintock. The officers are Messrs. Tom King, Tom Clements, Howard Wood, Dean Low and Frank Davis. A crowd of society people from the Topeka club were guests of the club and many out of town guests from Atchi son, Lawrence, Leavenworth, and Chi cago were present, and the party was a decided success. Jap.tuee Tea. Friday evening about 100 people en joyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Burgess at 21G Tyler. The occasion was a Japanese tea. Miss Marie Fisher in a pretty Japa nese gown served dainty refreshments in the dining room. In the early par: of the evening a de lightful musical and literary programme was rendered, consisting of a piano duet by Mrs. J. W. Going and Mr. Otis Dalton; vocal solo by Mrs. Miller, recitation by Miss Chesney, piano solo by .Miss Lin gard, and a vocal solo by Mr. W. M. White. Mr. W. F. Roehr .also contrib uted a piano 30I0 and an especially iine number was the trio by Mrs. S. Hodgins, Mrs. Going and Mrs. Knowles of Salina. The decorations were simple, but everything artistically arranged. Surprise Party. A very pleasant surprise party was planned and carried out on Rev. Mr. and Sirs. Smith last Wednesday evening.

Leap Yar Party. Topeka society men learned Friday evening that they must in the future look to their laurels as entertainers if they would keep up with the ladies. At Wethereli's hall the first real leap year party of the season was given by a number of -ladies, Mra. C. 8, Sutton and Mrs. Irving Doolittie acting as com mittee on arrangements. The parlor was tastefully decorated, and the hall itself with scores of Japan ese lanterns forming archways over head looked like fairyland realized. Lace draperies, sofas, ruga, cushions, shaded lames, and other house access ories even to a cozy grate fire made a moat inviting background for the more potent charm of animated beauty in the Mrm of the handsomely gowned ladies moving about in the dance. The reception committee of eight ladies wore their hair powdered. They were: Mrs. C. S. Sutton gowned in red and black crepe. Mrs. Irving Doolittle, in white dotted Swiss, pink carnations. Mrs. D. J. Harding, pink organdie. Sirs. W. W. Webb, yellow silk. Mrs. C. B. Reed, pink novelty silk. Sirs. Charles Whitlock, pink dotted Swiss. Sirs. George Eagle, black satin, bodice of white chiffon . Sirs.

A Stage Favorite Who Is Said to Be tha Most Beautiful Woman In England. The present attraction at the Broadway theater, New York, is ''An Artist's Mod el," and the most potent magnet of that, successful production is Miss Marie Stud holme, who is a.most universally con coded to be the most beautiful woman In all England. She was quite popular in London, but it is safe to assert that she has received more newspaper notices dur ing the two weeks she has been in this country than had ever, been accorded to her in the whole course of her theatrical career. Miss Studholme is a Yorkshire lass. She was born in a little hamlet known as Bail don, near Leeds, about 23 years ago. She was exceptionally pretty even as a child, MARIE STUDHOLME. and being possessed of considerable vocal and histrionic ability it was decided that sho should bocomo in timo a grand opera prinfa donna. To that end a thorough training was considered necessary, and Miss Studholme accordingly made her de but in "Dorothy," singing tho rolo of Lady Betty. Her next London engagement was in "La Cigalo," in which sho had only a small part. She suffered from ill health at about this time and found it necessary to return to her native village to recoup. After a very brief retirement Sliss Stud holme was lured back to tho British me tropolis by an offer of the character of the bride in "Haste to the Wedding" at the Trafalgar theater. There Iier remarkable winsomeness of manner was first extond cdly noticed by the newspapers. An en gagement in "Betsy" at the Criterion followed, and again the fair young actress found it necessary to go home to win back her health and strength, which have since never failed hor. She soon returned to the Shaftesbury theater, whore "Morocco Bound" was tho attraction. Hero she enjoyed a positive triumph, having been successful in no less than three parts in tho piece those orig inally assigned to Violet Cameron and Jennie McNulty besides her otu. The en terprising and octopian George Edwardes, recognizing that the little beauty was also possessed of extraordinary versatility, im mediately made Miss Studholme an offer to join his Gaiety company. This was ac cepted, and than the ''Morocco !Gound" syndicate made hor a more tempting prop osition to remain. She would have pre ferred to stay" wherh-sbo was in the changed circumstances, but the agreement had already wn signed, and Misa Stud holme beca e Miss Gladys Stourton in "A Gaiety 1" at the Prince of Wales' theater. Bur success in that rolo was enormous, and when Mr. Edwardes was getting together a special company to sand to the United States, Miss Studholme is said to have been his very first selection. His wisdom is demonstrated by tho col umns of praise devoted to the little Eng lish artisto by the not infrequently hyper critical New York theatrical critics. J. K. Hackett's Capital Acting. It is not known how Herbert Kelcey re gards the casting of J. K. Hackett for tho principal role in "The Home Secretary" in Daniel Frohraan's production at tho New York Lyceum, but it is positive that Mr. Frohman is to bo congratulated on having put forward this young actor so speedily in his company. In Sir. Wynd ham's production of the piece at the Cri terion in London last summer Mr. Louis Waller played the part for which Sir. Hack ett is cast here, and, although Sir. Waller is considered, together with Sir. Herbert Waring, pro-eminent in the performance of villains' roles, thero are a virility and a precision about Sir. Hackett's performance of the socialist in "The Homo Secretary" that place him on a piano with thoao two older and more experienced actors, and that indicate that a great deal may be ex pected from Mr. Hackett. Canary St Lecturer's Next Production. In consequence of the continuation of tho run of "Tho Wizard of the Nile" at tho Casino, New York city, the mana gers of the house, are rather perplexed as to where they will stage their forthcoming production of tho burlesque, "The Lady Slavey." According to present arrange ments, "The Lady Slavey" will bo given its American production by Canary & Led orer at tho new Lafayette Squaro theater, Washington, on Jan. 13, and if it does not follow "The Wizard of the Nile" at tho Casino it will bo produced before long at another New York theater. Herrmann and Xapoleon, Herrmann the great is constantly re ceiving letters from people who want to know if he is in any way related to the late Emperor Napoleon III, whom he ro sembles greatly. Mr. Herrmann has not that honor. His features resemble those of the great consul's nephew, but his face is considerably thinner. When trav eling on tho continent shortly after the Franco-German war, Herrmann was often hissed and sometimes nearly mobbed by persons who mistook him for the exiled prince. Actresses as Authoresses. There is a fad a3iiong some of our young actresses to write books. Odette Tyler has just published a novel; Modjeska will shortly publish her memoirs; Lotta is pre paring a series of "Stage Stories." A re porter recently asked Jessie Bartlett Davis what she intended to contribute to con temporary literature. "Oh," said she, "I have been at work for months on a cook book. I am an artist with the chafing dish and love cooking almost as much as being a cantatrice. " Fay Texupleton Itesumes Fasting. Fay Templeton, whose contract with E. E. Rice for " Kxctdsior, Jr.," called lor the reduction of her weight to 150 pounds, got weighed the other day and discovered that she had gained ten pounds since the first night of the burlesque. She has gone into raining again, Hor diet consists simply f four spoonfuls of milk every two hours. BUMP PEELERS TO MEET. Phrenologists Planning to Hold a Great Contention In Chicago. ' Hustling Chicago has had abont every conceivable sort of couvention except a phrenological convention, and she re fuses to he comforted until the repre sentative "bump feelers" of the country have met within her widespreading limits. Chicago phrenologists are much interested in the convention scheme, and one of the leading spirits is Mrs. L. A. Vanght, wife and assistant of Pro fessor Vanght of the Chicago Institute of Phrenology. Mrs. Vaught says the phrenological societies of the United States are ready to unite with the Eu ropean association to form a great world's organization, and that such an association may be the outcome of tha proposed convention in Chicago in July or August. It is said that in the United States alone there are 3,000 practicing phrenol ogists, and that many of them have a MRS. L. A. VAUGTIT. following of pupils and alumni. If the call for a convention meets with a hearty response from this army, Chicago may he called upon to welcome a large body of delegates when the convention is held. "Our movement is now recog nized by scientific men as at least being based on truth, " Mrs. Vaught said re cently, "and as 'worthy of their atten tion if not their com ;jjR".a support. I an ticipate, therefore, widespread interest in the association and particularly in its first general meeting. In Chicago phrenologists are fairly well organized, but they do not practice iu the same manner exactly. One of the objects of the coming couvention will be to thor oughly discuss the principles of the business and bring about uniformity of practice if possible. " Another large school where this sci ence is taught is the American Institute of Phrenology in New York city. This institution was chartered by the New York legislature in 1866, and among its founders were Horace Greeley, A. Oak ey Hall and Amos Dean. It has one of the finest collections of skulls and death masks in the country, and ha3 turned out over 600 phrenologists, who are ex amining the cranial eccentricities of heads all over the world.

More Chicago capi tal has been invested in mining interests in Arizona, within fifty miles from the locality selected by N. K. Fairbank, Mar shall Field and Lyman J. Gage. Two mines near Prescott, Ariz., have been bought by John Mackin, of this city, and John J. Phil bin. Jr., also of Chicago. They made the purchase unconditionally and outright, Jand intend to join their for tunes with three other Chicago million aires, whose interests and capital have similarly been centered. They decline to make known the purchase prica. The mines comprise the Groom Cre8k srruup, and are 18 miles by wagon road irotn Prescott. Two tunnels already driv en into the property show a three foot vein, running an average, it is said, of $45 in gold to the ton. The Congress mine, owned by Chicago capitalists, develops $60,0u0 a month, anil Mr. Philbin places an estimate of $20,000 a month on the yield of the Groom Creek group. HURTS OUR FLOUR TRADE. The McKinley Tariffs aups a Loss of $10, 000,000 a Yar to Millar j. Chicago, Jan. C The interest of American millers is centered in the next meeting of the executive committee of the National Millers' Trade association to be hsld here about Jan. 27. Millers gener ally have practically decided upon a per sistent agitation for reciprocity with South American couutries and will make a determined effort for the rspeul of that part of the tariff law which thsy tain's conflicts 'with the flouring interests of the United States. B. A. Reckharf, a prominent member of the association, says tho prospect of the Cubans gaining thair independence will have a tendency to promote com mercial relations between the new re public and this country. "The present prohibitive tariff between America and South American countries," ho said, "should be removed, but we realize that an amendment to the Wilson law to obtain this desired relief would not be necessarily grant ed for one commodity. Others will doubtless be included. The idea is to continue agitating until the result is at tained. Millers do not anticipate airy relief from the present congress as the president would veto any such bill. As long as the present tariff is in effect, it means a decrease of 4,000,000 barrels of flour annually ia the export and loss of $10,000,000 per year to American millers compared to the benefits by reciprocity through the McKinley law."

Launary Peerleaa MRS. MAHIQ BUTLEK. She Married a Country Editor and Mow BUinos In Washington Society. Mrs. Marion Butler enjoys the dis tinction of being the wife of the youn gest senator in the United States senate. When sho first met Marion Bntler, a young country editor and politician in North Carolina, she little imagined that she would marry him and that the youthful but ambitious editor would be elected to the senate of the United States before their honeymoon was over. She did marry him, however; he was elected, senator t.y the Farmers' Alliance fac-7 tion, and they now reside in a handsome new house on Q street, Washington, near the residence of the postmaster general. Before her marriage Mrs. Bntler was Miss Florence Faison, and she was born in Sampson county, tho county that was also the birthplace of her husband. She was educated at tho school iu Staun ton, Va., conducted by Mrs. J. E. B. Stuart, widow of the faruo'as Confeder- MRS. MARION BUTLER. ate cavalry general. When sho met Mat1' ion Butler, he had been compelled to abandon his law studies owing to tho death of his father, and was hard at work running a country paper and get ting a living for. a large family of younger brothers and sisters. The Faison family was one of the old, aristocratic families of the state, and ' Miss Faison's parents opposed her mar riage to Bntler, alleging that his social position did uot equal that of their daughter. Miss Florence, however, was very much in love with her young Farmers' Alliance knight and refused to give him up. They were married about two years and a half ago, and have one child, a baby about 10 months old. This baby bears tho very formida ble name of Pocahontas. Marion Bntler, as will be recalledv managed the notable fusion campaign in North Carolina a little over a year ago. The Ponnlisrs. under Butler's leadpr- Bhin. and the Renublicans united, carried the state and divided the two United States senator.ships. Butler was elected to the long term and took his seat in March, 18S5. He was born May 20, t 1868, and was a United States senator at the age of 31. Not since the days of Henry Clay, it is said, has there been such a youthful member of the upper branch of congress. Clay had just reach ed the constitutional age of 30 when he took his seat in the senate. Johnny Bull and His Gun.
