nual banquet during the Christmas hoii-
DAYS to the children Of the Sunday school
which was inaugurated by Kew ..
hughes In 1881. soon, after he took charge
of 81. Teresa's Catholic parish, Anacostia,
as rector, was celebrated last evening Tor
the thirteenth time to the great salts lac
ton of all interested. Large tables. deco
rated with smilax, were placed In the sun
day school room in the basement Of the
church, and shortly after D o'clock the two
hundred children of the school were told
to be seated. On the tables the beneflciaries
found everything that was nice in the way
of eatables, the menu comprising turkey,
oysters, salads of various kinds and many
of the choicest delicacies of the season. As
eacn one was leaving the taDle ne or she
was presented with box of candy and an
orange. very pleasant feature of the
evening was the informal presentation by
the teachers to Father Hughes of three
very handsome pieces of French china for
his table use. Father Hughes had not been
Informed of the intended present and was
completely surprised at the gift. The en-
tire affair was in charge of the teachers of
the school, viz: Mrs. Ella Hardy and the
Misses Nettie Diggs, Sarah Bevan, Nellie
Quad. Rosa Casper. Nellie Leonard, Jen-
ME Coleman. Anna Coleman, Nellie Hardy,
Mamie Casper. Alice Reagan, Lizzie Gran
ger, Eva -Brauma, Gertie Leonard, Jennie
BARLEY ard Ethel Rowland, and they were
rendered invaluable assistance by Mr..
Thomas Moore. superintendent of the
school, and MesSrs. George Casper and
Raymond Bevan. During the thirteen
years that Father Hughes has had charge
of St Teresas parish the growth has been
wonderful. He came to a congregation
which appeared like a speck so far as
members were concerned but he has now
gathered together for worship not only a
four!shing Sunday school, but a congrega-
tion OF about 1.5OO. and comprising besides
residents of Anacostia many from st. Eliza
beth, Congress Heights, Good Hope Gar
field and Twining City.
