THEIR SECOND ANIMAL.

The Reception Last Night of the Elm
 PIoyes of Bolton & Neely-A Bril-
 liant Occas1On-A Highly Successful
 Event.
 Last evening at the Arion hall in Woods building, corner of Church and George streets, took place the second annual recep- tion and ball of the employees of Bolton & Nicely, and it was 8 very brilliant affair. The hall, which was divided into two large rooms, was handsomely decorated. Wide strips of alternate red, white and blue flag cloth formed a complete and beautiful can- opy over the heads of the dancers. The chandeliers were handsomely trimmed with bunting and from the ceiling at the sides of the wall were suspended potted plants, while the members of Stacks orchestra, who fur nished the music were almost hidden by potted plants placed around the base of the plat form at the west end of the hall in which the orchestra was situated. On the floor un- derneath the hall, in the rooms occupied by the Knights of Columbus, were laid five long tables handsomely decorated with large vases of flowers and on which Diebel served the supper during the inter- mission. Long before So'clock the members of the different committees were on hand en- gagged in their duties and by 8 o'clock the guests began to arrive, and when the danc ing began nearly 400 were in the hall Short ly after o'clock the concert began, with MT. Thomas Cahill at the piano, and was as fol- lows:
 Tenor solo17,"Non ver,'' Mattel MT. Antonio Rockwell.
 solo-''Am Meer,' Franz Abt,'' Miss Bertha Kei-
 
 Solo-'The Bend of the River, Blumenthal Miss Mary Maloney.
 Tenor Solo-''Let Me Like Soldier Fall,n MT. Antonio Rockwell.
 Duet-'The Cricket on the Hearth,' Misses Ken nedy and Flaherty.
 Miss Kitty O'Donnell was also to take part in the concert, but owing to illness she was unable to appear. The singers were deserv- edly warmly applauded and Mr. Rockwell ac- quilted himself with unusual success and bril- lianoy. After the concert the grand march took place and was led by MT. J. H. Brown and wife, followed by about 150 couples, each lady receiving a corsage bouquet from Tefft, Weller & Go. of New York, after which the dancing began, but many couples were crowded off the floor, there not being stand ing room for them, but the following danc- ing programme was carried out, however, and all got enough dances, as many left at inter mission.

Kept the Money Himself:

A young man named Genett visited the blacksmith shop of Patrick McDermott on Congress avenue few days ago and told the blacksmith that he would do some collecting for him for pair of shoes. MT. McDermott gave Genett bill of $1. 50 and one of $10 to collect At night Genett turned in $1.5e and the blacksmith gave him a pair of shoes, telling him to come around the next day and do some more. Genett didn't come and McDermott now finds that he collected the $1O also and left.

Taxing Church Property.

The Freethinkers' Convention at Sara
toga Lake, N. Y, adopted unanimously
last Saturday a resolution demanding
that the separation of Church and State
should be completed by the repeal of
all laws exempting Church and ecclesi-
astical property from taxation.
The Convention made other de.
mands; but we shall notice only this
one. We would like to know how pro.
perty is to be valued which yields no
revenues How is the value Of . church
to be fixed? What is the value OF a
building which instead of yielding reve-
nue. to its owners costs them hundreds or
thousands Of dollarsa year9 Has such
a building any values Will it DO said
that the ground at least has value ?
Not so long as it is covered by a
church; for so far is q church from
yielding . revenue to its owners that it
is always a source Of expense to them,
and ofttimes costs them so much in the
way of repairs, &C., that they would
laugh to scorn the suggestion that it
had money value.
Suppose the State were to try to sell
The churches for taxes: who would
buys She would have to keep them
herself.
We guess that our fathers knew
vhat they were about when they de-
ided to exempt churches from taxation.
