and General Notes.

Among the "old timers" OF the city none
are better known than MIR. and Mrs. VIM.
Rumsey, Of Broadway, and their silver
wedding was looked for with much interest.
A large number of invitations were issued
and many friends gathered last evening to
offer congratulations to the couple for til eli
twenty-five years OF life together and go cd
wi. hes for many more. Mr.. and Mrs. Rum
sey were married in Brooklyn. N. Y, in
1856, when he brought his bride to Mon
their children. The dining room WAS very
tastefully decorated in pink and white and
the table was loaded with ohoics refresh
lncnts. The presents were exceedingly
useful and handsome, among which was
$s1oO in silver from j.. Frank Rumsey, of
Chicago, and many others, valuahle md
useful. The rooms we're crowded, but the
guests had a most enjoyable time and left
after extending hearty congratulations to
the worthy couple.
Miss King gave a pleasant party on Fri
day evening. Cards and dancing were the
features of the evening. The time was de-
lightfully past, as is always the case when
this hostess entertains. Dancing lasted
until the small hours of the night. Amone
these present were the Misses Cullen,
tune; Messrs. Thornburg, Hunter. Craig,
Churchill. Hunter, Bailey, Prosser, For
tune, Keerl, Carnachan.
st. PauIs M. T.. church was crowded
Friday evening to witness the entertain
ment given by the children, as well as Mrs.
Jarley's wax works. Miss Gilbert acquitted
herself we'll as Mrs. farley. Miss Jennings
presided at the piano. The niRhtgown
brigade was very amusing, and the sun
flower chorus was we'll rendered. The
whole affair was very creditable to this pro-
gressive church.
The concert to be given on Thursday for
the benefit of the Presbyterian church
promises to be one of the finest amateur
concerts that Helena has heard. 1t will be
made especially interesting by the first ap-
pearance of Madame Medini in this city.
She comes with Il European and American
reputation and the few who have already
had the pleasure of hearing her here know
what a treat il in store for all. She will
Mrs. Nav, Miss Wilson, Prof. Romandy
and Mr.. Hirscnfeld are among the other
attractions.
The event of this week will undoubtedly
DO the entertainment to be given on Thurs
day evening at the Catholic hall for the
benefit of the new library, for which the
young folks of that church have been SO
zealously working this winter. The present
entertainment bids fair to surpass all the
Others in its unique character ard from it's
extensive preparations promises to be q real
treat of its kind. There will be a double
programme, both quite suGgestlvely eat
able. The first part will be entirely devoted
to the children, who will give that charm
ing little operetta: The Three Little Kit
tens of the Land of Pie" which has created
80 much amusement in the east. Part sec
ond, though not SO tempting to the imagin-
ativs mind is quite as suggestive and is
called "The Last Loaf" II will be rem
deed by some of the best dramatic talent
of the city.
The beautiful parlors of Mrs. G.. N.
Whitley, on Sixth avenue, were thrown open
on Friday evening in honor o her nephew,
Chnrlie Whitoly, it being his fourteenth
birthday. Games and music delighted the
young folks until a late hour. Refresh
ments were choice and abundant. Master
Charlie received many handsome presents,
among which was a bicycle. Among the
guests were Misaes Anderson, Brown,
