The Ladies' Fair for the Benefit of ST.
Mary's Orphans.

Masonic Hall was crwoded last night by
the friends and benefactors of the orphans,
and right lively time they had of it. The
ladies looked more lovely than ever before,
a necessary consequence Of the active bust.
ness of the night. Every one seemed de-
lighted and perfectly happy, and the ladies
have but one more appeal to make to their
friends, and that is, that they will help them
out on Monday night, that e.ch lady and
gentleman who pstronized them so geter-
ously during the past week will bring a
friend with them on Monday night, and
assist them to dispose of their stock on
hand. If the friends of the ladies engaged
in this great work will comrly with this
request, they will receive hearty thanks
and be well repaid for their time and
money.
The Edgefeld table yesterday received
twenty-fv dollars from the State Insurance
Company, and the ladies in charge of the
other tables five dollars each-in all $50, a
very liberal donation 10 a good cause. It
is said that corporations have no souls; this
may be true generally, but we are inclined
to think the State Insurance Company must
possess both heart and soul. Yeatman,
Shields & Co. presented to the orphans ta-
bic large number of fancy articles, and
Miss Bette Spitz sent box Of lava jewelry.
Mrs. Mccormack acknowledges the receipt
of a handsome donation from Tavel, East
man & Howell.
Among the TO her young ladies working
assiduously all the week for the Sunday
school table, is one we neglected 10 men,
tion-Miss Nellie Healey, who ranks among
the foremost of the successful workers.
Another brave little lady is Miss Edith Me-
Diary, assisting Mrs. Dolin; she ca n talk a
dollar from a veritable miser, and cause
him to thank his lucky star that she taught
him to know he has heart susceptible of
feeling.
The Postmistress was kept busy, as were
also her able assistants, and delivery clerk,
Mr.. Jerry Buckley, than whom none ever
make himself more useful.
The Shooting Gallery, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. NJ. McKeon, assisted by Mr..
Joseph Meyer, did thriving business, and
some fine shots were made. Two of the
contestants tied on three centre shots-6O;
at the close, these two shot of, Gov. Harris
