IN CHARITY FOR THE ORPHANS,
First Night of the Annual
Catholic Fair.
A Bewildering Array Of Charming
Booths.
Senator white Addresses the Throng
on tho Pleasure of Giving to such
Worthy Causs-A Fine
Programme.

The many other entertainm ments given
in the city last night seemed to have no
effect upon the numbers who attended
the Orphans fair given in Armory hall.
The large room was more than comfort
ably filled and the galleries afforded
standing room only during the enter
tainment, and later, when the booths
were running at their best, the promo
made was crowded.
Armory hall was q pretty scene. in
deed. The booths line each aide OF the
long hall. They present bewildering
and handsome appearance. They range
from tho rszzle dazzle wheel to the
Rustic Inn, and from the handsome
maids and comely matrons who preside
over them may be purchssed anything,
from al Japanese doll which squeaks
when pinohed to handsome and costly
laces and garments.
The programme rendered lsst night
was very interesting one. Senator
Stephen M. White delivered an address
which contained an eloquent appeal for
aid for the orphans home. This insti-
tuition, he said, is burdened with q great
weight OF debt, and the spectacle of those
sweet sisters of mercy toiling there day
after day, doing good which the busy
world knows not of, 10 enough to move
hearts OF stone. The remarks were
eagerly listened to and frequently sp-
plauded.
Arend's orchestra gave an overture,
and then came the song, Let Me Love
Thee, by j. r. Logic.
A violin solo was admirably played
by Arnold Krauss, who merited and
received great applause.
Mrs. Washington Berry gave the alto
solo. Thou Everywhere, and received
hearty applause.
A tenor solo, Come Into the Garden
Maud, by Alloys Werner, was exquis.
itely rendered, and was followed by a
double selection on the piano by j. @.
Dunster.
Mrs. W. B. Olapp responded to an en-
core after her finely given soprano solo,
Love Thee.
A duo, Lovely Peace. by Mrs. Wash
ington Berry and Alloys Werner was
kindly received and the fine blending OF
these two perfect voices in this selection
was frequently remarked.
Foley Parker, in humorous selections,
fairly took the house by storm. Four
times he responded to tremendous en-.
coree, each time surprising his former
effort, until at the end thunders of ap-
plaues fairly shook the house.
The final selection, trio, by Mrs. W.
B. Clapp and Messrs. Werner and Logic
was sweetly sung in perfect accord.
Andrew Mullen gave few remarks at
the conclusion of the programme. He
spoke Of the great need OF help by the
church. and the sinters in their great
and worthy enterprise. THAT grand
institution on the hill" he said, "is q
monument to the generosity and kindly
spirit of the citizens Of Los Angeles"
Aftsr ths programme the booths be-
came the center of attraction. The at
tendants upon the customers were not
the least OF the sttractiveness though
they are all as pretty as bright colors
and artistic touches OF draping and ar
rangement can make them. The booths
extend around the hall on each side.
The Rustic inn, a chief attraction, stands
in the right corner near the stage ami
