NEwsBoYs BANQUETED.

Yesterday afternoon at $50 sixty-fve
newsboys and bootblacks partook OF an
elegant dinner at the Packer Motel. This
was the fourth annual Thanksgiving din
ner given by Mr. Thomas Shaw, who occu-
pies the warmest place in the hearts of
these boys of any man in this country. At
two o'clock the boys assembled at Shaw's
music store and to the music of flies and
drums marched to the hotel, where the
feast was waiting. Many of the boys wore
four badges, showing that they have been
the guests of Mr.. Shaw for the past four
years The white aud colored boys marched
side by side in perfect time to the inspiring
martial music and each one wore an ex-
pectant and happy look that did one
good to behold. For how many months
did these lite fellows look forward
to this, to them the greatest day OF the
year. Tine doors Of thu hotel were thrown
open at exactly $50 and to the strains of
the music OF Professor Meissuer and Mr.
Harry Sheppard, marched into the dining
room, The boys behaved finely and took
their places with the order and decorum
of carefully trained soldiers. When Mr..
Shaw gave the word, the boys pitched in
and how things did disappear. 1t was
worth great deal to one to behold the
little fellows enjoy themselves as only a
horde Of young boys can when they sit
down to a table loaded with all the good
things the season affords During the
dinner Miss Shell rendered several vocal
solos to the great delight of the boys who
heartily cheered at the con-
clusou of each number. Pro
lessor AIeissner and Harry Sheppard
played some lively music for the little
bapqueterSswho kept tune with both their
feet and jaws. The bashfuiness of the
little guess- soon gave way before good
cheer and the strains Of music. All were
happy and the warm glow of gratitude
which bad entered their hearts was mani
tested in various ways When the dinner
had been concluded, some little enthusiast
tic fellow would squirt out giving some
happy remark about their kind heart
while another. would jump up and propose
three cheers for Thomas Shaw. After the
dinner Mr. Shaw introduced Professor
Knight who spoke to the little fellows for
five minutes His speech was teeming
with good advice and his remarks wers
loudly applauded Ths feast broke up
after giving a vote Of thanks to Mr.. Shaw |
which was given with hearty goodwill I

A CHURCH THAT NEEDS REFORMING

Ed Church, a young man who has been
trying to break into the penitentiary for
some time, took the final step last night
that will land him in that institution
without a doubt and he is probably glad of
it. There is something the matter with
mans nature when, ia the very prime of
his young manhood, he has no higher am
b!tion than to enter the peIitentiary as a
convict. and yet that is what Ed Church
seems most anxious to do. Gu several &C.
casioDs recently he committed offenses.
but they We're not of sufficient az itude
to be punishable with auythingmore than
a short imprisonment in the local
bastiles. Yesterday evening, however, he
deliberately went to mail box near
Twelfth and Main, pulled the
post to which it was attached
out of the ground. turned the box upside
down till the letters slipped out which he
tore and then deliberately walked down TO
Officer McClurg aud after confessing his
crime gave himself up to the officer. The
officer TOOK him to the city prison and
locked him up for the night The strange
part OF the proceeding is that he Was duly
sober and was thoroughly cognizsnt OF the
crime he had committed when be perform
ed the act. He is a man about % or II
years Of age and well able to make IN
honorable and decent livelihood He
stated at the city prison that he had COM
mitted the crime in order to obtain and
destroy a certain letter mailed there by
Young lady in the afternoon. He would
not stale who the Young lady IS. The
superstition is that he wanted to get into
the peni,entiAry and that he tampered
with Uncle Sans mail boxes as the
sursst way TO do H. The punishment for
such an ofenSe is quite serious and
Church will have realized the full extern.
OF his crime by the time lie gets through

KNIGHT. rEnrLAR MUSICALE

A very select affair was the musicale
/ given on Wednesday evening by Mount
Olivet commandery. Knights Templar. at
Masonic hall. Invitations had been issued
to the sir knights and their friends by the
entertainment committee, and the audi.
| ence that were assembled was one of the
most appreciative that performers have
rarely the good fortune to appear before
The programme was short, but it con-
sisted of collection of very fine artists.
The opening number was violin
solo by Mr.. Sherman Skinner This
wss executed in truly artistic
manner and received the hearty applause
that it merited. Mr.. Skinner re-
sponded with another beautiful number
Miss Pearl Skinner accompanied upon the
piano in fine style.
Signor Baribini sang Loves Sorrow in
most artistic and professional manner
The signor possesses u very fine tenor voice
OF great range and his execution is perfect.
His singing was considered a great treat
and the applause that followed the rendi-
tion testified the favor with which his sing
ing was received. Signor Baribini followed
this with Marguerite, by c. A. White.
which he sang in a manner never before
equalled in this city. Mr.. Henry Huffman
accompanied upon the piano.
Mr.. Harry Sheppard rendered two solos
upon tine piano in perfect manner. Mr..
Sheppard is a very fine performer and his
present. He was encored.
The fourth number was soprano solo
saug in an elegant manner, by Mrs Ewing
She was heartily applauded. and responded
with a pretty ballad, Pauline" Mrs.
Ewing is of Topeka and Possesses rare
voice which shows excellens cultivation.
Her singing is most delightful. and she
certainly merited the tremendous ap-
plause she received.
One of the finest numbers on the pro-
gram was the bass solo, "Hybrias. The
Cretan," which was sung in an elegant
manner by Mr. George Z. Hammann. Mr..
Hammann possesses rich bass voice,
finely cultivated, and his execution is per-
feet. He rendered the solo with the ex-
preston that is so essential in the success
full rendering of this very difficult
peice of music, and the applause that
was very hearty. He re-
sponded with Answer" which he sang
in an exquisite manner. Mr.. Harry
Dunbar was on the programm for Que of
his delightful flute solos, but the audience
were screly disappointed as Mr.. Dunbar
WAS unable to render his solo on account
Of the difference in pitch between the flute
and piano After the conclusion of the !
musical program, the guests were conduct |
ed to the banquet room. where very fine |
banquet had been prepared. The long |
tables were loaded with an elaborate mem |
and the floral decorations were very fine |
and artistic. The affair was grand sue I
cess and most pl asa1t and was in |
thorough keeping " tn tae fine entertain |
