Anniversary Reception Given by the
 Rose Hill Social Club.
 The members of the Rose Hill Social club demonstrated the fact last evening that they know how to act as hosts and entertainers. It was the twentieth anni- versary of the birth of that organization and feasting, dancing and speech mak- ing served to make enjoyable features of the evenings entertainment. At 3 o'clock the ex-members of the club with their lady friends and the invited guests, together with the present members and ladies, assembled in the handsomely fur nished suite of rooms of the club op- posite the postotfice, and marched in body to Music hall. Here the grand march of fifty couples led by President George Gibson and Miss Mary Mo Carthy was formed and to the excellent music furnished by Hallam's orchestra and the prompting by I. Uffendale the merry gathering of friends of the Rose Hills proceeded to enjoy themselves. Eight of the sixteen numbers of the pro- gramme were danced when the order was given for supper. The eX-members of the club and their lady friends led the march to the banquet hall. They were followed by the invited guests and the members of the press, the club and its lady friends bringing up in the rear Ten tables loaded down with everything appetizing had been arranged in the old Idlewild club rooms and once seated, the work of feasting began. Bolster catered to the hungry appetites of the guests and Smith & Doran the Baldwin street ba- kers. who are members of the club, fur nished the dessert for the banquet. Or the adjournment to the hall after the supper, George Gibson, president of the club, in few remarks thanked the as sembled guests for their presence ant welcomed them in very cordial man ner.

Truth Is stranger Than Fiction,

It may seem strange to you that we should offer clothing at half the original cost. It is nevertheless true. Others may say that they cannot afford to sell goods at half prices, neither could we if circumstances did not alter the case We over estimated the size of our store and we have too much stock, hence we offer the goods at terrible sacrifice. Our clothing is as reliable in quality style and finish as any in the market notwithstandingsome of our worthy com. petitors would have you believe other wise. If you contemplate buying cloth. ing of any character, it will pay you tc look over the bargains at
 Hirsh's Ten Per Gent Clothing House Look for the white front. 72 Bank street opposite the postoffice.
 Notice.-We manufacture all our own clothing. Our factories are located at No. 43 North Third street and 3O6 Mar ket street, Philadelphia, Penn.

Horaes Need Strain No wore.

A simple and efficient device has been
in use for several years in France which
relieves a horse from the severe strain
that accompanies the starting of heavy
load. In cities especially such contriv-
ances are needed, and most of all by the
usually overdriven street-car horse. The
device consists in a spiral spring of
power in proportion to the average load
carried. and which is attached to the end
Of the trace. The horses at the Eastern
Railway Depot in Paris. where the
springs have been used for six years in
shifting cars, show an improvement since
that time in general soundness of condi-
ton, while the number of sore and
strained necks haYe greatly diminished.
There has also been a large saving in the
way of broken harness. The same idea
has been applied to blowing harness.

Gourn1ets.

Eluttony is not the sin of this age,
but a hundred years ago there were
many men and women who lived TO eat.
Their god was their belly. One OF
them, a Frenchman, when youth OF
90, was found sitting down, alone, %
seven roast turkeys, merely that he
might enjoy their oysters that de-
licious morsel found in the depression
OF the side bones. This glutton lived
90 be eighty, with but one purpose: to
eat and drink.
Careme, who cooked for George the
Fourth OF England, and for Alexander
the First OF Russia, said, "Men who
know how TO eat are as rare as great
cooks. Look at the great musicians and
physicians; they are all astronomers "
But Careme admitted that there was
one great man who was neither a great
cater nor a judge Of good eating, Ma
poleon ate very plain food, and little of
IL, though always with hunger aud
rapidity. He drank little wine, for it
excited him, and he had to have cool
head.
There Is an old story which relates
that "a London alderman pronounced
the turkey as u most unsatisfactory
bird. II is too much for one and not
enough for two. The Saturday Review
gives the original story as follows:
'And then, sir, we topped off with
gorgeous turkey, first-chop bird
never tasted juicier- melt in the
mouth-oramme with trufiles to the
eve.S- bouquet is no word for tive

A man living near Santa Cruz has
been catching quail in peculiar way.
For three weeks he has been spreading
grain in the road near his place. where
quail abound. On the day the law was
out he put wheat in the place as usual,
but had previously soaked the wheat in
whisky. Watching the place, he saw
the quail come out, eat, get drunk and
in short time lie down stupefied. He
then went to them and gathered about
one hundred into sack that he carried
with him. A few that were not fully
drunk were caught by his dog. He has
practiced the same method since quite
successfully. Charleston Is. o. World.

Street Bridges.

A Frcnchman who was awkward
enough to allow himself TO be run over
n the bouleyards, left by will 1000
francs TO the city Of Paris for the pur-
oose Of building bridges over the
streets at the most frequented and
dangerous points. As no measure had
ever been taken, the legitimate heirs Of
the deceased philanthropist sued the
sity recently TO recover the money.
This woke up the sleepers, and the
common council have decided on build
ing a specimen bridge over the boule-
ward at the break-neck corner of the
Boulevard Montmartre. II 500 people
do not interfere with 5000 conflicting
opinions, Paris will be converted into n

Of climbing the stairs and the danger

city about 100000. II such bridge
