fairly good nun ber of ;he members
OF the Sacred Heart Temperance Society
gathered in their coZy society rooms last
evening for two purposes, both of which
were pleasant occasions. They first at
tackled a sumptuous luncheon. The menu
was chowder with "hxiDs," followed by
fragrant Havana smokers. The diving
into the new china bowls with the spur
ious coin spoons kept up lively tattoo
for an hour, and the popularity OF John,
L. Lynch, a member, was gracefully ac-
knowledged by all. President McCafrey
presided and In pleasant remarks called
upon several of the members present,
among whom were the old veterans, John
O'Connor, James Gallagher, Jr., John Nc
Grath, James II. Kelly, NJ. III. Brohan,
Philip Clark and many Others. The re-
marks were most jovial and good
accounts from their determined ex-
pressions in the interest of this
well known organization must show up.
Vocal and Instrumental music dotted the
programme between the speeches, and
later on came the second important event.
At the recent fair of the above society
John I. Lynch was the member W no sold
the largest number OF com mpinnt ion tickets
and To him last evening, in "A brief review
of his assistance and his record as MEM

sponded for MIR. Lynch I'm his usual
characteristic manner, and then came a
social time. Later resolutions OF
sympathy were passed unanimously to
Joseph Kelley for his bereavement, to
Joseph MsAlevy, who is seriously III,
and to Hon. Il. l., Freeman, who Is i'll,
and who has for years been staunch
friend OF this society. At the proper
hour the pleasant "Stag Party" broke
ranks. 1t was success in every particular.
Christmas Gatherings.
Before another issue of the TRIBUNE is
received by Its many readers Christmas
gatherings OF a private and public nature
will in the main be over, and many a
pleasant remembrance with some will be
left In the minds OF those who enjoyed
Merry Christmas. While there IL a good
ly number who VIII have feast of good
things and valuable gifts, there are
equally as many families who will have
poor time and the larder will not be as
complete as upon former holidays. The
old saying "charity begins at home,"
should be practIced by those who have
plenty and let them make glad the heart
of hose less fortunate in these times OF
business depression. Sickness will play
an important part towards the unpleas-
ant ness of many household. Nearly In
every family some one IL afflicted. Death
turks in not few houses where the mem
bers in place of carrying out an arranged
programme OF enjoyment will be sorrow
ful. Remember the children at all
events, and make their heart glad in ac-
cordance with previous customs. The
various churches will hold their annual
Christmas gatherings as follows: At he
Broad Street Baptist Church the usual en-
tertainment and festival Will he held
