ROYAL Arcanum Reception.


Royal Arcanum Reception.
One of the most enjoyable and sociable
events of the season in Westminster was the
reception given on Tuesday evening last TO
the families and friends of the members of
the Royal Arcanum, in their handsome lodge
room in the Wantz building. 1t was the first
entertainment given by the lodge, and was a
grand success. The room is handsomely
carpeted and comfortably furnished, and was
well filled, with bright and congenial CON-
pany OF ladies and gentleman, who listened
attentively to the fine musical and literary
programme first offered, and enjoyed most
heartily the tempting banquet which followed
after.
The programme included the opening and
closing odes to familiar tones, which were
heartily sung by the members, many of the
audience joining in. Miss Westlake, teacher
of instrumental music at Western Maryland
College, presided at the organ, and Miss
nevis, instructor of vocal music at the Col
lege, sang most aeceptably the beautiful
ballad, 'When the Heart is Young" Miss
jamie Thomas reeited in her best style a
beautiful and appropriate poem, merely bow
ing her acknowledgements in response to an
enthusiastic encore, much to the disappoint-
ment of the audience. The address Of vel.
come by the regent, Mr.. j. Milton Reifsni-
der, and the very interesting address on the
''Royal Arcanum,'' by Prof. S. Simpson, of
Western Maryland College, formed two of
the most attractive features of the program.
While one portion of the guests were enjoying
the feast of good things in the banquet room,
the rest were entertained with selections by
Messrs. D. Winter on the mouth organ and
autoharp and Mr.. j. Cassell on the guitar,
Mr.. Cassell also, after repeated requests,

closing feature of the entertainment was the
excellent supper, served by members of the
lodge, assisted by their lady friends.
The room, in which the lodge meets, is
handsomely and tastefully furnished. The
chairs were donated by the Committee, Messrs.
d. S. Gehr, Fl. S. Roberts, F. d. Miller, c.
Z. Goodwin and G. W. Albaugh. and the
marble slabs by F. A. Dieffenbach, assistant
warden Nd. Penitentiary. The tables, pedes
tails, and affairs, which are handsomely fin
ished, are the work of Philip NJ. Hunter, of
Westminster; the carpets were furnished by
S. Kann, Sons Il Co., and the chandelier by

The directors of the Ice and Cold Storage
Company of Westminster on Wednesday
night decided to purchase an ice plant, and
authorized the President and Secretary to
make contract. The company will manu-
facture ice by the plate system, and theirs
will be the first plant on this system to be put
up in the state. Plate ice is clearer and
better than can ice, costs no more to manu-
facture, and is far preferable in all respects
Can ice cannot be stored for any considerable
length of time, while plate ice can. Plate ice
is chemically pure; in can ice all impurities
are frozen TO the centre, and the ice has a
feathery Or snowy appearance at that point.
The ice plant, it is thought, will be ready for
operation in about sixty days, and Westmin
ster and neighboring towns can be supplied
with better ice than they have heretofore
been able to obtain at no higher cost.
