of Rechabites, met Tuesday night and listened
to speeches from several members.
An account published in The STAR Monday
night of party said to have been given Satur
day evening by Mrs. Annie Skinner appears to
have been largely fictitious. Several persons
reported as being present have disclaimed any
knowledge Of the affair. The report did not
come to The STAR through its regular Ana
costa correspondent, but was sent a COM
municatiOn with signature attached, which
gave 1t every appearance OF credibilitv.
