A STAR FETE.
A Unique Entertainment ON the give
Point" Plan,
T.. A.

A Unique Entertainment ON the give
Point" Plan,
II was certainly brilliant affair, got
up by some society for the purpose of
raising money, and it was so success
full that others would do well TO copy
some or all of its bright features. The
entertainment was held in large hall,
to which admission was had by the pres
entation of five pointed tickets.
The hall was decorated with bunting,
stars and flowers, everything conform
ing to the name Of the fete. There were
evergreen stars on the walls, alternat-
ing with tricolored ones. From the
chandeliers hung clusters of stars made
by covering pasteboard forms with gilt
paper. They shOne as they moved
slightly in the warm air of the place.
In one prominent place was a star made
by bending a gaspipe into that shape
and connecting it properly. When
lighted it made a bright and suitable
addition to the other jets and the piano
lamps that were used for illumination.
The booths were all five pointed and
trimmed with silver or gilt stars against
drapings of dark blue, which covered
the wood. The articles for sale were
classified, and similar articles were
grouped together on one point. The
booths had their advantages-they af.
forded places for five people to stand
while selling goods, neither one inter
fering with the other and all having &C.
cess TO the money, which was kept on
tables in the center; also they gave more
space for purchasers than a round OF
square booth covering the same space
would have done. OF course much Of
the fancy work conformed to the pre-
vailing pattern.
The booths for flowers had star shaped
floral decorations against an ever
green background. One was devoted
to the sale of potted plants and over it
were inscribed Longfellow's words
about flowers, "Stars that in earth's fir
mament do shine" Over the one where
cut flowers were sold was the line,
There is lesson in each flower" Lit
tie girls who carried about crush bas-
kets with bouquets to sell were dressed
in yellow, with spangles, and crowns Of
stars on their heads, belts of stars and
a five pointed bit of gilt paper on each
slipper.
One part of the hall was partitioned
off for fortune telling. The entrance
was draped with star trimmed curtains
of dark blue, and over the mysterious
entrance was written Startling Dis
closures" atrocious as witticism, but
so striking at the fete that it attracted
many curious patrons. The fortunes
were told by astrology or what was sup
posed to be that time honored science,
as well as by palmistry. A gentlemen
in a dark blue gown bordered with stars
told fortunes from the hand; lady in
dull yellow, with hllet girdle, bracelets
and necklace of gilt stars, presided over
the astrological department. The place
was lighted by yellow shaded candles,
and the sides were draped with dark
blue, caught up with stars.
Another feature of the evening which
might or might not be successfully
copied was 1.-The Pleiades, seven bright
ladies in navy blue. each wearipa .

A More Liberal Church.

WHEELING, w. Va, Feb, 5.-The
Rev. j. J. Jones who was deposed
from the pastorate OF the Wyman
Methodist churce last Sunday be-
cause he favored dancing and other
amusements at church socials, has
set about organizing q church of his
own and has rented a hall for that
purpose. He will hold his first SER
vice Sunday. A great part of his old
congregation, particularly the young
or mem bers, who were fond of the
amusements he permitted, have stuck
to him. When Mr.. Jones was pastor
OF Wyman church he held q series OF
church socials in public halls,
at which the dancing was per-
mitted, and even encour-
aged by him. Many of the orthodox
brethren held up their hands IN holy
horror at the worldliness of the pas
tor, but he was undisturbed by it,
and when a revival pastor alta cked
his rather liberal actions in the pull
pit, Rev. Jones replied through the
press defending the dance and notify
ing the pu bile that so long as he was
their pastor his young people should
not be deprived of the pleasure OF
dancing whenever they chose to I'M
der proper restrictions. The matter
was laid before Bishop Payne and
Mr.. Jones was deposed without even
the formility of trial.

Last sad Rites.

Funeral of Col. Withers, With His
tory of Hts Life.
The funeral of Col. John Withers
yesterday afternoon was one of the
largest yet most uuosten tatious that
has taken place in this city for many
months. The services at st. Mary's
church and at the cemetery were very
solemn and impressive. The solemn
mass was read by Rev. Father Pac-
quette. The line of carriages was
composed of all our best family turn
outs. together with large con tingent
of U. s. army officers from Fort Sam
Houston.

class of 1Si9. One year he lost on ac-
count OF illness. In his class were the
late Col. II. G. Williams, of San Anto-
MO, and Gen. Holabird. He was ap-
pointed second lieutenant of the 4th

Panama with General U. s Grant
on his way to take station at Vancou
yer, Oregon, then commanded by
Gen. G. G. Augur. In 1856 he was APP

Prior to the fall of Richmond, April

their official papers and fled at one
O'Clock a. m, Col. Williams taking
the train and Col. Withers going on
horseback. The latter told his wife to
meet him at San Antonio. He made
nearly the entire distance alone and
on horseback lodging the foe
at all places. His wife went
to New York aud came to
Texas by steamer and rejoined him in
San Antonio. Col. Withers, there
fore, never surrendered. Col. Will

Beef Famine.
mirror and Farmer.

The idea of beef famine in the future
seems to be floating in the air of the
west. The National Provisioner says
many well-posted men are of this opin-
ion. The reasons for this conclusion
are that "the encouragement attending
beef making the last few years has
driven great many out of the business,
and has SO discouraged them that they
are not liable to 60 into it again even
with great encouragement; that ranch
ing has seen its best days, and will never
be the rival of farm beef growing which
it once was; that our population is in
creasing steadily, and is sure to require
a great many more cattle each year'than
the preceding year; and that the posi-
bilties and probabilities of our export
trade are simply immense" We pre-
sumo that those whose business demands
that they shall keep close run of the
events affecting the meat market,
and themselves posted as to the situation
can form better opinion of the future
of the beef market than we can AS
the matter stands now, it seems to US
that the price of beef is high enough to
the consumer to afford paying price to
the producer, and that whoever COWS
tirst-class beef on corn and clover, aud
on such other feed as can be furnished
on every we'll managed farm, need have
no fear of loss before his eyes. This
being the present situation, If the facts
on which the western apprehension OF
beef famine rests should prove true,
prices for choice beef cattle VIII boom. In
short, there is an almost certain pros
pect of securing reasonably paying
profit in growing beef, with strong
additional chance of securing big returns
for the value invested. At all events,
there is no good reason why New Eng
land should suffer for want of beef.
Her supply need not depend on any con-
tingency of the cattle ranges or any
seriously enhanced demand for good
beef, while she must always have a
steadily paying consumption, and is
right on the border of the great mar
kets of the world. We can and should
grow our own beef. Every farm should
aim to turn out one or more fat
steers, and instead of chewing Chicago
dressed beef, every neighborhood should
combine and employ man to slaughter
beef at given intervals and distribute
the carcass among the members OF the
cum bination-to.each member according
to demand or agreement. This can b.
done, and thus furnish the farmers and
their neighbors with good, nutritious
beef the year round at minimum cost.
