AFTER THE OPERA.
At the conclusion of the
opera the members of the com.
pany partook OF dainty repast
served by. Caterer Linn on the stage.
While the performers were enjoying
the good things from the
Hotel Washington, the friends of
"Doc' johnson were holding forth
down stairs. DR.. johnson is one of the
most popular members of the club. He is
an ex-President and exceedingly popu-
lar. A few weeks ago he announced his
intention of moving to Orange and his
friends realized that meant his smiling
face would soon be missed
from among them. Accordingly they
clubbed together and purchased
an immense marble statue repre-
senting "Innocence. 1t stands
on Mexican onyx pedestal and
is more than five feet in height This
beautiful and costly gift was presented
to the Doctor" by his friends last night.
Vice President S. r. Finney made an
eloquent presentation speech and an ap-
propriate reply was made by the reci-
pient. Then the emblage dispersed.
