will be celebrated and Appropriate memorial
services will be observed.
In the evening a dramatic entertainment
will be given at Knauft's hall, on Seventh
street near Olive.
The entertain ment promises to be of more
than ordinary excellence, and it will be a
matter of great surprise if it does not attract
an unusually large audience. The st. Vim
cent De Paul society, of St. Mary's church,
has had the affair in charge for the last
thirty days, and no efforts have been spared
to make this, the first entertainment under
their auspices, one that will not only reflect
honor upon the organization, but also de-
light the many friends whom they hope to
have present. The funds realized from the
entertainment will be applied to the educa-
ton of poor children, a work recently taken
in hand by the society. The high character
and praiseworthy object of the entertain
ment, will, no doubt, receive that encour-
agement which it so Justly merits.

Appropriate services with the celebration
of high mass will take place at the church in
the morRing. The ladies of the parish will
entertain at Armory hall in the evening. A

memorable one for its pleasant features and
good cheer. There will also be songs,
speeches and clog dancing by artists su-
perior in that line, and Pfefer's (Armory)
hall will be an attractive place tomorrow

With such offerings to select from, st.
Patrick's Day need not be passed without
combination of religious and social enjoy
ment.
