The Stanford Hight Rollers links.
One Of the most unique entertainments of
the winter season was given last evening by
tile Stanford High Rollers, sappy oifshoot
from stanford Paror, one OF the most de-
sirable in the popular order Of the Native
Sons
This was entitled 1.-The Ladies' High
links" and, in honor of the occasion. the
large audience was greeted with quaint dec
oratiuns at ODD Fellows Hail. The stage
was draped with a lurid red and the pros
cenium arch embellished with an immense
vinklng mask, ieering vlialnouSIy in Its p0-
siI0u before big bear flag and between
Two national banners. Beneath the mask
swung a giant kitchen roller, the mystic
emblem OF the organization, having the
word High inscribed upon it.
The lin6s consisted of a succession of
songs and IecltatlOns with peculiarly happy
nluatOry rites, etc, executed by a large
band, arraYed entirely in red and having
horns The face Of each MpphiStOpheles
was painted and otherwise disguised, and
the general effect As they sat in a Semi-ciTcle
on the stage. with the Great High Roller
behind in a chair OF a state between burning
candles stuck into exaggerated Bass beer
b.tlrs, was effective in the extreme.
Following were some Of the numbers:
Tenor SOLO Mr.. ". AckerSon; recitation,
Dlr. Gus Schieicher; whStling duet, Mr.. q.
B1Tnemann and Mr.. W. SeebuTst; tenor
solo, Mr.. {. j. Angelo; recitation, Mr.. VIII
lam Bannan; vocal solo, Mr.. 4. NJ. Thorn
u; bass solo, Mr.. Frank Belcher; mando-
liz and guitar quintet; initiation cere-
monies; ballet; seven NOrtherland sisters
and their idea Of the Delsarte movements.
The initiation ceremony when the broth
crS in red descended among the audience
aud pOunced with growl upon young Mr..
Kennedy was very realistic and exciting.
While the victim was being blindfolded,
Great High Roller Martin fined various
members Of tie audience for smiling and
other UfenSeS, and then the brothers re-
turned through the audience, marching TO
slow music and bearing with them axes a
coffin, swords and other fateful parapher-
MALTA. After having been Intercepted, bas-
LuadOrd, tried by fire and tossed in a
blanket, the compulsory candidate was
passed with honor. TIE proceedings were
followed by an enjoyable dance. Blam's
music was quite a feature.
Thele was some very clever by-play be-
tween the "iuterlocutoT" and END men,"
The former was Mr.. Z. Powers and the lat
ter Mr.. Z. B0aZe and Mr.. w. Seeburst The

The gasaliers all round the hall were
hung with little rollers tied with red ribbon,
while the programmes were ornamented
with the same significant article of domestic
furniture. The makeup Of the brothers
was admirable.
A Pleasant Domino Party.
The employees of Newman & Levinson as
sembled Saturday evening at Irving Hall
for a domino party. The maskers began TO
arrive al s 80 o'clock, and when the grand
march started at 9 o'clock, led by Mr.. Z. n.
Boyle and Miss 3. Warshawski, there were
fifty couples Oh the floor.
The DISCUSSES were perfect in nearly every
instance; voices were changed, and in many
cases marked peculiarities Of gesture and
carriage were efiectually cOucealed or
adopted. But in a gathering OF this kind,
where every one is well known to every
body else, it is difficult to conceal ones iden-
tity very long, and generally the masker
was discovered by some slight movement or
some expression OF voice. W lipl reVpa ~ tn
the curious and persistent observer the per-
sOnaty of his companion. But as the
dominoes were in general constructed on
the same plan and were of the same color,
the masker had the same difficulty in finding
his partner again If he once lost sight of her
