 The Boys Club" enjoyed most de- lightful evening-that of Tuesday last when majority of their number, nearly 200, were treated to banquet, with stage entertainment furnished by themselves, at Oronoco Hall. The benefits of the club were brought out to the satisfaction of those who sustain it. It's members have learned to appreciate it's privileges as reward for the good behavior essen- tial to their keeping. The result appeared in the conduct of Tuesday evenings gath ering, when nearly 200 lads, very little under restraint, bole themselves like gen. tlemen, and while in fullest enjoyment and mirth kept within bounds of orderly behavior. First the lads sat down to we'll spread tables containing abundance of bread and butter, cake, pies, oranges, lemonade, etc. ,partaking freely and helped beautifully to their fullest satisfaction. There was an abundance left upon the ta- bles when they had finished, and even when invited to help themselves again at the close of the exercises surfeit of good things was found. The stage entertain ment of the evening was mostly furnished by the boys in form of declamations, harmonica solos, duets, etc. Miss Ger trude Butterffeld's cornet solos were an appreciated feature. Accordeon solos were also given. The recitations of Mas ter Harold Comins, Nellie Clifford, Alfred Siswick and James Shea were so good that the audience desired them repeated. Older persons who favored were Dennis Ma(t torthX yUit fnn given, and Miss Myrnie Washburn, whose recitation of ''Little Blossoms" was finely given. The adults present much enjoyed the entertainment, as well as witnessing the pleasure of the boys. The committee in charge of the boys club room did much hard work to make everything so com plete in success.
 The safe in w. E. Demond & Co.'s office was blown open last night. Not over 1920 in silver was taken, and that being a larger amount than is usually left in it over night.
