Nothing to Say or the Platform,

NEW YORK. July 9S.-The Demo
cratic state committee met at the IIoN-
ma House to-day and at n session
lasting only ten minutes, decided to call
the convention Tor the nomination Of
state officers 10 meet At Buffalo on Sep
TENDER l6. No other business was con
sidercd at the meeting.
Prior to the meeting. several OF the
leaders among the committeeman were
questioned as to the probable action of
the state convention In regard to the
candidates and platform Of the nation
al convention recently held ut Chicago.
The general sentiment was that the
candidates will be endorsed, but on the
subject of the platform there was far
less unanimity. Chairman Hinckley,
when asked for a statement as to the
probable treatment Of the silver Ques-
ton at Buffalo, responded with an elab-
crate opinion IN the subject OF the
weather.

ENTERTAINMENT
BY Severn Division U. r. K. Of ?.

BY Severn Division y. X. x. OF +.
On Tuesday evening, February 25th,
a musical aud literary entertainment
will be given at the Opera House, under
the auspices OF Severn Division No. B,
Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias,
which will, without doubt. be one of the
most enjoyable and pleasing that our
citizens have had the opportunity To
witness for some time. The entertain-
ment will be furnished by home talent
and the ladies and gentlemen taking part
are well known To our citizens. They
have been studying hard for several
weeks, and propose TO make this the best
one of the many good entertainments
given under the auspices OF this we'll
known and popular organization. The
entertainment will he OF character
that all, old, young, middle aged, church
members, non-church members, aud all
others who wish clean, entertaining and
wholesome enjoyment can patronize. In
fact, one of the chief objects that Severn
Division has in view for giving this en-
tertainment To allow those of it's mem
bers aud friends who do not attend balls
an opportunity to enjoy themselves and
participate in the good things furnished
Dy this organization. The prices of ad-
mission have been set at low figure,
indeed, far below what would be deemed
reasonable price of admission to first
class entertainment of this character.
In this connection, we would say, the
entertainment cannot be judged by the
amount of the admission fee, but the
tickets are placed at the very low figures
of a5, Is, and Is cents in0rder that all
may have an opportunity to see what
fine and able class of home talent Anna
polls can boast of. The 30 cent tickets
will entitle the holder t' reserved seat,
if said holder win GO to the City Drug
Store where they will be on sale, and
have his or her seat checked off; the %
cent tickets are for general admission
and the Is cent tickets will admit the
bearer to the gallery. The two last
named classes of tickets can be secured
from Boesell's Jewelry Store, Church
street.-See large bills.
