Miss Wells Entertained the B.
"Teazed" Club Last Night.
A PLEASANT AFFAIR.
The Olympia Club Will Dance
Next Tuesday Night.
Last evening at her charming
houie corner Charles and Brown
Betty streets. Miss Blauche Wells
entertained the members of the "B.
Teazed" Eucher club in a most
hospitable manner. Ihis club
which has been organized by the
young society ladies of the city is
just in its inception and the recep
tion tendered the members last
evening by Miss Wells was the first
meeting they have had since its
organization. It is composed of
the best people of the city and
there is not the least doubt but that
the long winter evenings will be
most pleasantly whiled away at the
fascinating game from which the
club takes its mime. It is the ob
ject to hold the meetings of the
club at the homes of the members
alternately, and a meeting will
probably be held each week.
The meeting of the club last eve
ning at the home ol Miss Wells was
a most enjoyable one, and if taken
as a criterion of the ones to be held
during the winter, there is not the
least doubt of a pleasant time. The
guests arrived at about 8 o'clock
and Miss Wells was assisted in re
ceiving by several of her young
lady friends. The playing com
menced at about 9 ? clock and as
there were some excellent players
in the club it was fascinating, ex
citing and very interesting. Miss
Lucie Ramey received first prize,
and Col. Jack Kincaid got the sec
ond.
A very pleasant surprise for the
members of the club was the elegant
luncheon served in th^ dining
room of the Hotel Wells w ..icli ad
joins the Wells residence. Mine
j Host Wilson, as a caterer cannot be
1 equaled at anything but last even
I ing he seemed to have outdone him
self. The tables in the dining
j room were most artistically arrang?
1 ed and the luncheon consisted of
appropriate viands for the occasion
were served in the inimitable style
of the hotel.
I Among those present at the re
I ceptton tendered the club by Miss
Wells were, Mr. and Mrs. William
1 Neuenschwander, Miss Mae Mc
Ginnis, ot St. Louis, Misses Sayde
Wallace, Georgie Roome, Lucie
j Ramey, Annie Elliot, Sara Agnew,
I Anna Elder, Lieut. James R. Sta
thers, Messrs. H. J. Porterfield,
Will Agnew, George W. Bishop,
John Kincaid, Joseph P. Sweeney,
Harry W. Jackson, Frank Berry
and Frank Colbert.
The outlook in social circles for
the winter in this city is all that
could be desired. There will be
I quite a number ot swell dnnces and
entertainments by the different or
; ganizations and it has even been
! hinted that betore the winter is over
there will be one or more weddings
i but so tar Dame Rnmor has men
tioned no names. At a meeting of
a number of young men a short
' time ago the Olympia club was or
ganized. This c':ub wiil practically
take the place of the old Americns
club and the dances will be held
I tri weekly in the city building,
i The first reception by the members
; of this club will be held 011 Tues
day evening next. The Virginia
' club has not been reorganized and
I probably will not be but a number
of the members have been making'
arrangements to hold several im
promptu affairs during the winter
and the first one will probably oc
cur in a short time. A number ot
the younger set have been holding
meetings lately and it is very likely
there will be a couple of clubs or
ganized for the purpose of cards
and other amusements. Whist does
not seem to have much of a call
this year and although an interest
may be awakened in this game late
in the season the outlook for a club
at the present time is not very ta
i vorable.
Nrt?1 ImpndrnM.
Fifty years ago the allowance o t
paint in the British navy was very
small, and sometimes the officers had
to pay large sums in order that their
ships might maintain a decent appear
ance. One of them resorted to a humor
ous expedient, either to soften the heart
of the navv board, or ?? that jtt.vod im
possible, to express his opi!,:^\
Sir John Phillimortt pai:T one side
of his old yellow frigate black and
white and used the rest ol' the black
paint in printing on the other sido in
large letters, "No more paint."
The navy board wrote to call his at
tention to tho impropriety of his con
duct and signed themselves, as they did
officially, "Yonr affectionato friends."
To this Sir John replied that he could
not obliterate the objectionable lottera i
unless he was given more paint and
signed himself in turn, "Your affec
tionate friend, John Phillimore. "
The navy board then called his atten- I
tiou to the impropriety of the signature,
to which Sir John replied, aeknowledg- 1
iug the letter, stating that ho regretted
that tho paint had not been sent and
ending : "i am no longer your affection
ate friend, John Phillimoro. "
His frigate was allowed to retain hor
original yellow, and perhaps the navy
board did right thus to punish Sir John's
impertinence. ? Youth's Companion.
My Lttriy's Gorgeoos Slipper.
My lady's slipper sees a very radical
change this summer. It is no more plain
and unadorned ; no longer does a simple
little bow or unobtrusive rosette orna
ment it. Instead the slipper is now a
irery gorgeous affair. It glistens, both
by sunlight and the gleam of gas or
eleotricity, for it is a jeweled p>ipper
j and oftener than otherwise elaborately
' jeweled.
The style is to have these ilipper
jewels match tho pin or necklace yon
: are wearing, both in the gems them
; selves and in the settiug. When fan
j tastic and curious designs are worn in
1 oddly finished gold, the effect is exceed
i ingly picturesque ?nd attractiva Rhine
j stones are the favorite slipper ornaments
i of the summer, diamonds being of
> course too valuable to be allowed to
twinkle carelessly on one's ?*?t.
i The ornament most admire*! is a gold
or jeweled buckle, either large or small.
! Tiiis will rest upon a bow or rosette of
satin and will be of many quaint and
odd designs.
The Milk In the Coroanat.
Every boy knows tho three eyes to be
found in one end of a cocoauut, and
many a boy has bored theso eyes out, or
f>ne or two of them, with tho email
blade of a pocketkuife so as to get at the
milk in the cocoauut, which he has then
drained out into a cup or drunk direct
j from tho cocoauut itself. But there is a
more fascinating way still of getting at
tho milk in the cocoauut.
i By this other method tho cocoanut Is
opened at tho other end from tho eyes
1 Tho cocoanut is struck all around gen
tly and repeatedly with a hammer, or a
stone will do, at a distance of about one
third of tho way down fr om tho top.
about where tho arctic ciirclo would be
on a globo.
A continual gentle tapping will final
ly crack the shell of tho nut all around;
not in a lino exactly on tlio circle per
haps, but pretty near to it Sometimes
it cracks shell and meat of tho nut, too,
ao that both can bo lifted off together;
sometimes it cracks out only a shell cap
at the top, which is lifted off, and the
cap of meat underneath is tJheu cut ou*
around with a knife.
And then there you are> with tl*

Last evening the pupils, com
prising the Sunday school class of
Mrs. H. B. Bowden, were most en
joyabty entertained by this estim
able lady, ably assisted by her
reverend husband. The program
for the evening's amusement in
cluded music and games and the
social amenities which are insep
arable with functions of this sort
and contribute much to the pleasure
of all. The substantial wants of
the inner person were satisfied with
a delicious collation, and when the
hour for leaving came the guests
were unanimous in the verdict of a
happy time.
Those present were' Mr. and
Mrs. Densmore and Mr. and Mrs.

The Criatnbnl Colon.
It is a curious instance of the irony
of history that ut. the close of the first
great naval battle between the United
State* and Spain in the waters of the
new world there should have been loft
battered and stranded upon tho Cuban
coast u K1-eat war vessel named in honor
of the discoverer whoui Ferdinand and
Isabella sent out to find that very island
and this huge destined hemisphere. And
should it prove possible, as Commodore
Schley believes it is, to save the Cristo
bal Colon and to add her to the United
States navy us a retributive namesak?
of the sunken Maine the coincidence
would bo doubly strange. ? Philadelphia

Added to JnckNon Rid|t? Keener l>r
velopment.
Operators and leaseholders in the
Jackson Ridge Keener sand devel
opment, on the Ohio side of the
Sistersville field, have been keeping
a close watch on some wells drill
ing on the outside of defined lim
its. One of the most important, the
Fisher Oil company's wildcat on
Browning's farm, located about two
and a half miles west of the devel
opment, was drilled into the sand
yesterday and is showing for a pro
ducer. As soon as the pay was
tapped the hole filled up 500 feet
with oil. The indications are for a
paying producer and an extension
to the pool.
The Keener sand on that side of
the river is close and hard, and all
of the wells have to be shot before
they are at their best. The Jack- -
son Ridge territory is not likely to
furnish any gushers, but a large
number of small but profitable pro
ducers with commendable staying ^
qualities are probable. The
Jackson Ridge country has been
tree from fake reports up to
last Tuesday, when the prevaricat
or made his appearance at Sisters
ville and unloaded a hair raising
report that Barnsdall & Co. had
drilled in a wildcat on the Cronin
farm located two and a half miles
northwest of the Jackson Ridge
development, and it was flowing
at the rate of 1,000 barrels a
day. It can be stated with a degree
of certainty, that there will be no
500 or 1,000 barrel gushers at Tack
son Ridge unless there is a change
in the sand formation. ? Wheeling
