4 SOCIAL.
Given by the Young Ladies society Of
81. Johns Church.

-
The social given by the young ladies d
81. Johns church last evening was a
grand success in every respect, the hall
being crowded the entire evening. The
young ladies Of this church organized a
society for the occasion, of which Miss
Joyce was president, Miss Conroy vice
president, Miss Murray treasurer. Upon
entering the hall the flrst thing which
greeted the guests was Rebecca's well,
presided over by Misses. Conroy and
Nugent, who were kept busy drawing
lemonade for the large number present.
Misses McKennon and Turniss had
charge of tho post office and were in readl-
ness to make each inquirer for mail hap
Ply by having a letter for them. Many
of the epistles no doubt contained infor-
nation or sentiment which would have
been acceptable to the recipient could he
or she have realized their ful6llment.
The flower stand which was under the
supervision of Miss Moran, was filled with
choice flowers, and from the number Of
button hole bouquets we noticed in the
company. Miss Moran had a profitable
evening.
The Gypsy fortune ~teller's tent under
the management OF Miss Mitchell, at
which place we suppose the past, present
and future was revealed, and to encour-
e youth to press forward on life's rug
ged road, they were to marry young, live
long, and die happy.
The guests present enjoyed themselves
dancing until a late hour, and went home
highly pleased with the evening enter
tainment
Ice cream, berries, cake and lemonade
were served. The young ladies' in charge
of the social received the support they
deserved for the undertaking.

THURlOW WEED.
A Now Story Concerning the "Priam OF the
Press"

Now story Concerning the "Prinm OF tho
Press"
The late Thurlow Weed, who was
sometimes called 1.-THE Priam Of the
Press" because he was the father of so
many newspapers, once told me an in
teresting incident of his life which has
been inadvertently omitted from his
memoirs. 1t was during the war Of
1912. when he was living in Coopers-
town, N. Y, the home of the yet un-
fledged novelist, and was setting type
as q journeyman printer. II was
nineteen years old and 1 fell in love
with Cathrine Ostrander, my landlady's
daughter. two years younger than l
was. Her folks objected, very prop
erly, to her marrying a strolling
printer, without money or anything
else, and agreed to wait.
about this time / got into a bad
scrapc. /, with three other young fell
lows, who were rather hard lot, was
arrested on complaint of four girls
whom we met at prayer meeting. l
had never seen them before, but we
walked home with them, and they
made a charge of improper conduct
against us all. The others got bail,
but had no rich relatives and pre-
pared to go to Jail. At the examina-
ton told the Justice that I had no
lawyer and no money to pay one, when
to my great surprise leading attorney
of the town, whom / had never spoken
with and did not know, stepped for
ward and gave bail for me and offered
to defend me. 1t was Ambrose L. Jor.
dan. was delighted. l did
not go to Jail, and at the trial
the girls voluntarily declared
that l was not party to the offensive
transaction. 1 left town for while,
but came back in year or two and
Catherine Ostrander accepted me and
We were married. never forgot Jor-
dan.
''Somo fifteen years after that. when
l was in Albany in a position of some
influence, we were making up the
Wing State ticket in convention. The
principal officers had been placed in
nomination, when somebody said
Now for Attorney General. We must
have a man down in the middle of the
State
Il nulneu AnlCT IL. JOTuaH anu
he was made our candidate and elected.
when he came up to Albany he
said to me: Il have some conscientious
scruples about accepting this office.
You gave it to me because / defended
you in Cooperstown when you wanted
friend.
Not entirely or exactly / said. 4
merely reasoned that the man who
you'd come to the rescue of an I'M
known and penniless youth for the
sake of seeing justice done had the
right ideas to make good Attorney
General
We'll, he said, Il am not entitled
to the credit you give me for either
sagacity or right feeling. / gave bail
for you and defended you because
Catherine Ostrander came and made q
fuss about you and wouldn't give me
any peace till did it. Better appoint
your wife Attorney-General!
at was the first l knew of her
agency in the matter. She had never
told me during Az these happy married
years. w 4. Crofuts Letter.
