useful, consisting of cut glass, china,
silverware, linens, chairs, rugs, bric-a-brac,-
Ac.
A house on Hill street was already
furnished for their occupancy, and about
10.45 they were driven to their own
hnmo'in a carriage. A number of young
guests followed after. They had only
been In their home a short time when
they were serenaded by a number of
young men from Hotel Imperial, where
Mr. Swift had been boarding. A bass
drum, tenor drum, cornet, sleigh bells
and a dinner bell were tho musical in
struments used by the sorenaders.
Profs. Lenkord and Leavenworth, Dr.
Moans, Will Kernel, W. W. Wiley. A.
