1t $ ems certain that in Europe fint.
locks had been introduced before this
time; but the i'uritans still relied on the
matchbox The form Of this can be
readily explained to any person who has

Each soldier was obliged to carry
some yard OF this match with him, and
when the battle began he lighted the

A GREAT SUCCESS.
The Annual Dinner to the Sewsboys This
Afternoon.


Like that portion OF the anatomy of the
patron saint Of this season which is
said "to shake like bowl of jelly"
some $50 newsboys OF the city to-
day supplied fitting counterfeit. At least the
Newsboys and Chi!drsn's Aid Society gave them
enough material To make that useful member
the name Of which rhymes with jelly
somewhat rotuud. II WAS the annual
feed given by that society. and as there il never
any lack Of guests it was found necessary 10
issue tickets.
TWO SECTIONS OF GUESTS.
There were more invited than the rather
cramped rooms in the building occupied by the
society, 927 E street, could accommodate
at once, and so majority of the
guests were kept waiting in the
street until the departing guests made room.
They did not mind it one Bit 1t was all the
same to the boys. providing only they could
get one square whack at the tables. The man.
agement guaranteed this and the agent
of the society. Mr.. Peter Sweeney, assured the
waiting ones on the outside that the delay in
admitting them was due not TO any lack Of ma
terial, but TO lack of room. So the boys came
in detac hments fifty strong.
HOPE TO EXTEND THE BUILDING.
Next year the ladies hope that their friends
will furnish the money to enable thcm to ex-
tend the building back to the rear of the lot.
1t is not merely once year that the
room is needed. but all the year
around, and the work carried on by this excel
lent society is too important to be hampered by
mere lack of room.
However, the boys managed today to get
plenty of elbow room. The largest thing about
most Of them we're their appetites, aud it
is quite remarkable that such number
conld be brought together in the
space allotted. 1t vas done. however,
and the turkey and fxin's, the pies. crullers,
ice cream, candies, oranges. disappeared with
marvellous rapidity.
no QUESTION OF QUALITY OR QUANTITY.
There was no question about the quality of
the food. The boys did not dispute that, and,
what ia perhaps more important, there was no
check to the quantity There WAS plenty to eat,
thanks to the kindness of friends of the society
Contributions in money alone amounted to
Sf00. while supplies of all kinds have come in
The annual dinner WIS thereforeea great sue
cess and the ladies in charge. although the work
was hard. feel grateful that generous public
has enr bled them to do as much.
The ladies in charge Of the dinner were Mrs.
]. W. Babson, chairman: Mrs. A. NJ Edgar
Mrs. l. F. Macfarlard. Mrs. z. Il. Flint Mrs.
Hugh Mccullough, Mrs. Thomas and Miss NJ
Payne.
One hundred Testa1ents were distributed to
the children. the gift OF Mrs. W. c. Cunning
