The parlor of Mr.. and Mrs. T. Ross
was the scene of a delightful party on
last Friday night. The occasion was
the eleventh anniversary of the birth
day of their little daughter Zeta.
About forty little and big folks graced
the evening, and all left wishing Miss
Zeta's birthday came twice year.
a mistake was made last week IN the
distribution of the LEADER by which
several of our subscribers received old
papers. AS soon as it was discovered
1t was corrected. We were grateful to
fiEd that all looked upon 1t as mistake
and not as an attempt to pass old pa
pers on them
Despite the bad weather large mum
Der of young people were present at
Roberts Chapel on Sunday night to
hear Rev. CarrOll's sermon to young
men. He spoke from the text: run,
speak to this young man." The young
men (and women too) were spoken to
in a most vigorous manner. II they
follow the advice given they will have
several additional chances Of being old
men. We old men wish some one had
advised us that way when we were
young.

The regular weekly meeting of the
Douglass Library Association was
omitted this week, more time being
needed to complete arrangements for
the next meeting, which will probably
he held in church or hall. at this
meeting the Association expect several
distinguished guests. Mr.. William III
Brace, of Washington, D. g., will
present to the Association a ballot
box, which was the property of de-
batting society In this city in GTete bellana
days.
Private G. Gray is expecting to be
ordered to his company at any time.
Rev. w. F. Graham will not give UP
his pastorate here as announced. His
people desire him to remain. He will
pay visit shortly to the church in
Danville, from which he received his
recent call.
The Garnet Literary has been re-
vived to give benefit for MIR. Charles
Watson, one of its members. This is
a praisewOrthy undertaking and should
receive the support Of all. Mr.. Watson
has been sick long while and has the
sympathy of the whole community. 1t
is understood also that some of the
students at Howard University desire
to give an entertainment here to help
their old schoolmate. We respectfully
suggest to these gentlemen in both
cities that but one entertainment can
be financially successful. Would 1t
not be better to divide the work. Let
the young men Of Howard furnish all
or a portion of the programme and the
members or the Garnet attend to the
business management of one entertain
ment? BY proper arrangement the
entire receipts could be presented to
Mr.. Watson.

Almost every public entertainment
given here Is marred by the misconduct
ef boys and young men. They seem
to be unable to behave we'll. Cannot
something be done to protect our au-
'diences from this nuisance2 If tbese
boys and young men were avowed
roWdles it would be proper to take
them before police court, but almost
all of them are the sons of our most
respectable people. There ought to be
some other remedy. Some one has
suggested that the names Of these up
starts be taken when they are seen
disturbing a meeting and that they be
denied entrance at subsequent meet
ings. This plan should be tested and
the list of names should be made
available to any person VINO may de-
sire to exclude them from any enter
