Never II the history OF Asbury M. Il.
Church, nor, In fact, Of many other
churches in this vicinity, was there q
more successful social affair held than
the supper an entertainment given by the
Husbands of the willing Workers OF tho
church in the basement OF that edifce
last evening. TIT 400 or more people that
assembled there fairly made the coun-
tenances of the members of the committee
in charge very pleasant TO look upon,
that Is, for a while, but they soon found
they had q big task before them In supply
ing the wants of so Unexpectedly large q
party. 1t was given out that everything
was to be done at the supper by the men,
and they bravely decided some time ago
that such should be the case, but 1t was
another case of the spirit being willing
but the flesh weak, for the great demands
made the husbands call upon their
wifes, as has no doubt been the case other
times, TO help Tighten their labors. Then
again Ii was whispered that some very
important things for the tables, such as
spoons, and knives, would have been en-
tirely absent but for the thoughtfulness
of some OF the ladies. One is apt TO for
get a lesson, no matter how hard one has
tried to learn II perfectly when the time
comes to recite. But certainly great cred

last evenings pleasing affair, for there

cake and coffee and there was also ice
cream, but as this was an extra on the
menu the buying Ii ready-made could
probably be excused.
The tables bore a neat appearance and
there were pottei plants and flowers upon
them, as we'll as the more substantial
things named. During the supper the
Alpha Orchestra furnished some excel
lent music. There were q number of
courteous walters in attendance and every
thing possible was done TO make every
one happy. The walters were, of course,
either husbands or willing to be husbands
of the willing workers, and in addition
TO white aprons they also wore chrysan-
themums. After supper a very agreeable
entertainment was given, including Sc
l~ections by the Alpha Orchestra, banjo
solos by Messrs. Smith and GRAHAM; read
igs by Master Campbell and Miss Sensibor.
The members OF the committee whose
Iabors were crowned with such success
were Messrs. l.. A. Miner, Charles A.
Phillips and George T.. Baker. IL Is to be
regretted that there can be no more
entertainments under a name that
certainly possess mascot-like qualities,
but they cannot for the Willing Workers
have changed their name to the Lad ies'
Aid, but it is to be hoped that equal sue
cess will follow them and their husbands
under the new name.
A isihS@f strange robbery took place on
bath oAittt N low uBof theh 70 -
il was a robbery, for there are some doubts
about the affair being SO designated. An
Armenian resident of that street, who
lives in a nemen In the ground floor,
reported TO the police that bold, bad
burglars had entered his room while he
slept and stolen S11 from his clothes. In
The same room slept two other Armeni-
ms and neither they nor the owner OF
he money alleged to have been stolen,
were awakened by the thief. The latter
must either have noiselessly pushed up a
window sash and elm bed in over a table
and chairs or have opened a locked door
and taken the trouble to lock it after he
got through with his Job. At any rate
the man who reported the loss OF I'll
claims not TO have seen 1t since the
time he laid down to sleep.
Charles Weskitt, q driver OF one OF
Aldrich's Pswtucket md Providence ex-
press wagons, while driving his team up
Randall street, about z o'clock last even
ing. was thrown from his wagon TO the
ground and slightly injured, as the re-
suit OF a collision with a Branch Avenue
car. The motor man OF the car could not
control ii and the car dashed into the
express wagon.
The horses were not injured and the
wagon was but slightly damaged. Mr..
Weskitt was considered very fortunate
in having escaped SO easily from what
might have been a very serious accident.
