The Washington Smngerbund Have
n Famous German Entertain

ncnt.
The Washington Sengerbund held its
carnival session, or fools meeting at
Abner's Hall last evening and was bril-
liant success. Every table in the/spacious
hall was occupied by male and female
friends of the organization, and each per-
son wore fools cap. 1t has long been
custom among German organizations in the
old country to hold fools meetings pre-
paratory to q masquerade ball. The grand
masked ball of the Sengerbund will be held
on the 9Th of February next.
Mr. Paul Schulze presided last night, and

Gresbauer, Hon. Simon Wolf, T. b. Kirby,
l.. Waldecker, II. Heinrichs, Ernst Schmid,
w. Burchard, NJ. Alschuh, f. Knoop, Chr.
Abner.
The president of n fools meeting is
regarded as monarch of all he surveys and
any one he sees fit to call upon is COM
pclled to take the stand and contribute u
speech or song for the edification OF the
audience. After formally opening the
meeting, President Schulze turned to Coun-
sellor Simon Wolf and commanded him to
mount the rostrum. Mr.. Wolf in the
course of his remarks said: ''There are many
fools in Congress, in the pulpit and in
other vOcatons of life, who, though they
do not wear the cap and bells, are yet
fools"
