BROKE UP A MASQUERADE BALL.
Father O'Reiily of Cathedral Did Not
Want Children to Attend,

In the hall at the corner of Penn
avenue and Mulberry street q crowd of
boys and girls, many of them of very
tender age have since the cool weather
set in, been conducting cheap dances
almost nightly. Last night under the
title of the o. N. o. social club they
gave a masquerade ball which was at
tended by a big throng. 1t was the
biggest crowd of the season and every
thing promised to make it great
social success" But while the hilarity
was at its highest in the neighborhood
of 1880 o'clock a sudden and unlocked
for interruption came.
Two ladies' who had been watching
.nc crowd going in were amazed to see
among the rcvelers, veritable children,
some of them being not over twelve
years of age. The fact that the Occa-
sion was q masquerade ball. determine
ed them upon doing something to
break it up.
Not knowing what else 10 do they
appealed to- Rev. Father O'Reilly. of
the Cathedral. and when the case was
laid before him lie said he would find
a remedy. The remedy was a stout
hickory stick, and most commend
able spirit. Going into the hall he or
dered the shameful affair to cease. His
voice and manner showed that he was
thoroughly in earnest and it was no.
necessary for him to repeat his order
a second time. They got out and quite
lively. too. When he had the hail
cleared he teleDhoned for T.ieute lant
Davis. and explaining what he had
done, asked the officer, in case tine ball
started up again, to prevent any of
the younger girls from going back into
the hail.
The ball went on after while, but
1t proceeded without the presence Of
any children.

MEETING AT GREENWOOD.

Fasshold's hall, Greenwood, was filled
to overflowing last night. A rally was
held there under the auspices of the
Mckinley and Hobart club of that
place. The speakers were Attorneys
Fl. c. Reynolds and John X. Edwards
G. Il. Davis, president of the club, was
chairman.
Mr.. Edwards was first introduced.
He spoke on silver and the effect that
the free and unlimited coinage of it
would have upon wages. bank depos-
It's and insurance companies. Candi-
date Bryan says that free silver at the
ratio of 16 to l will increase prices.
What advantage will that he to the
workingman? asked Mr.. Edwards. The
experience of the country and Of ell
countries is the plainest teacher tha,
wages would not rise in proportion 10
the increase In prices.
The speakers reference to William
Connell and the local candidates was
greeted with applause. There was a
large gathering Of Democrats in the
hall and many of them Joined in the
applause.
Mr.. Reynolds devoted his attention
more particularly to the tariff. He
said the tariff Is the real issue now
as it always was. The free silver cry
is got up to distract attention from
the ruinOus effect four years. of free
trade have stamped upon the country.
1t is well settled fact, he said, that
protection kindled the fires in the furn-
aces and free trade wOve the cob webs
in the stacks. He discussed the cur
rency question to show what the de-
basement of our monetary system
would lead to in fhe way of panics
and hard times, as If we have not
had a sufficient experience with the
latter the past few years.
Mr.. Reynolds read a letter of regret
from Mr.. Connell at not being able to
be present on account of O cold. The
mention of the congressional candi-
dates name was greeted with great
cheering, showing his popularity in
that district, where he is so well
known.
