the affair will be—a feast, to be
served from seven tables on
which will be found seven varie
ties of delectable things, each a
delicacy of some particular coun
try. Chicken and Chinese nood
les will be the offering at one
table; chili con came and the
spicy hot temale at another; hot
roast beef sandwiches at another,

that the lady attendants at the
various tables will be garbed in
the costume of the land repre
sented by the particular variety
of delicacy served- Dainty Jap
enese dolls will serve the tea
table, dashing Spanish senoritas
will preside over the tomales,

A letter from N. H. Castle,
former United States attorney
of this district, received by Judge
Adams /states that Mr. Castle
has purchased a forty acre ranch
in the vicinity of Sonoma, Cal.,
and he expects to settle down to
the comforts of rural life. The
new place is located about eighty
five miles from San Francisco.
About eight acres are in grapes,
and fruit and there are both hot
and cold sulphur springs on the
place. Mr Castle says his wife
has visions of raising chickens,
ducks, wildcats and any other
thing that will grow but ex
presses doubt that the ranch will
produce more than enough for
their own needs. Among other
things he states that business
conditions are improving down
there but the wave of prosperity
