pected that Captain Richmond Pearson
Hobson, who has been comma; to Bloom

marry a well known and beautiful young
lady who lives In this city,
' Dayton, Ohio, July 26. Captain Rich
mond Pearson Hobson has, during the
past few months, been making frequent
visits at the home of one of. this city's
most charming young ladies. Her friends
are whispering things, but no formal an
nouncement has as yet been mad.
Waco, Tex.,: July -26 Hero Hobson
has twice daring the past six month

by the friends of ascertain lovely young
lady who is a leader of Waco's most
aristocratic circle that Captain Hobson

seems-of late to barve developed a remark
able fondness for this town. Tie comes
here to visit every few weeks, always be

The beautiful young . daughter of the
hero's host might give the public a. piece
of interesting news if she cared to do so.
The above telegrams appeared recentlj
in the Chicago 'Record-Herald, aid, of

disputed, though It might be. It is evi
dent that Captain Hobson to operating
In a wide -territory. From Maine to
Texas, from the Atlantic to the -Pacific,
from hell to breakfast, he takes his ama
tory ; way. ; When he to ' not kissing
young women In platoons or rescuing
them from watery graves, it would seem
from the aboe telegrams -thxt he to
booking them for matrimony. We don't
altogether understand It. What to the
captain's s-ame, anyway? I he the so
licitor for a matrimonial agency, or does
he propose to marry a chorus? It seems
to us hie fiances-ought to call a conven

Bon Temps Olub.
. From the hour of 5:30 to 7:30 yeeter
day evening the Bon Temps club was en
tertained by Miss Nannie Goodson at her
home on North Queen street. .Only the
active members of the club were, the
chosen ones It was strictly young
ladies meeting this time.- ,
Atthe door the guests were greeted by
litthTMisses Oara Hines and Margaret
Goodson, refreshingly dressed In the
clubs colors, and were taken in the pal
lor where they were given chewing gum,
and then the fun began. Each member
waaaaksd to mould a doer, and they
made a perfect menagerie, one ot tne
young ladles, priding herself on hersoulp- (
tural abilitv. made Fldo look so much i
llkeamonaethat shs droDoed the ffum '
presented with five sticks of chewing
gum that she might develop her talent
which seemingly was yet undeveloped.
Miss Annie Archbell was given a pretty
stick pin with a little dog on It for mak
ing what i appeared to be a living Fldo.
In the Interval trapes was served from
a beautiful cut glass bowl In the hall by
Misses Clara Hines and Margaret Good
son. (
Card boards cut in the shape of a large
key were given each one. The following
were some of the questions upon it:
"What to the mostdangerous key" '"An
archy." "What is the thanksgiving key"
"Turkey." "What to the blackest key"
"Darkle.".; The two most familiar with
the keys were Misses Lottie Toll and
Gladys Mitchell, After drawing straws
Miss Tull received the silver key stickpin.
jltss Lizzie Smltn, of Snnoik, a was
-consoled for de-feet by a pair of vie! shoes,
ons and one-half inches long, tied with
pretty pink and white ribbon. Miss
Payee Kilpatrick presented all the prices.
Refreshments were served in pink and
white. All around the club's colors were
prominent. The rooms were artistically
filled with palms, ferns and cut flowers.
Soft shadows now began to flicker to
and fro from the twilight without.
Within, however, through each soul a
bright red sunbeam was shining. The
editor thinks our bright young reporter
will soon be writing poetry. - i
