Mr.. W. Il. Berry Thres0 Open Heart
and Home to the Teachers.

One of the hsppiest events which has
transpired in our city In many, many
days was the intelligent gathering which
met last evening at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. T. Berry in the Sixth Ward.
1t has been q charming custom among
the Principals and teachers in our Pub
lie Schools to meet around festal board
ere entirely and completely they are dis
missed for the summer vacation. This
year the happy event came to the popu-
lar Principal of the Fifth Ward School,
aud he, in his charming wife and accom-
plished daughter, Miss Berry, had such
splendid and able assistants as to render
stiffness, formality and awkardness i'm
possible. Mr.. and Mrs II. c. Smith, Mr..
and Mrs. Hayes Thomas, Mr.. Swift, Mr..
Asbury. Mr.. Hutchins. Mr.. Curran, Mr..
Gabby, Misses Burrows, Golling, Camp
bell, Wallace, Wilson, Martin and Grant
were the company of pedagogues who
RECALLED themselves at the feast of reason
and flow Of soul prepared by this friend
and contemporary in life and work.
The evening was an ideal one and the
sweet home of the Berys never wore
more hospitable air, nor gave more cor
dial greeting. The beautiful lawn was
but a velvet carpet Of Natures own
weaving, while parlor, hall and reception
rooms we're gay with brilliant lights and
sweet with flowers. At Z o'clock the
guests were invited Ito the dining room
where was spread veritable banquet of
deliCiouslY prepared edibles, not alone of
substantials, but uelicacies as we'll, and
to be thus placed and have the attention
of skilled Mattresses who noted every
passing Wand" was as much to give
Joy as were the tempting and palatable
dishes, which made everybody wish for
additional means to renew an appetite.
or course no shop talk" was allowed,
only those subjects and conversations
which would produce laughter, mirth and
real enjoyment.
1t was late hour when the guests de-
parted.

The LedOer's SH0OestfOn BefNO Act
ed Upon By BeneUOIent Orders.

Following the decision Of the Court of
Appeals exempting certain religious and
charitable. organizations from state
taxation, THE LEDGER expressed the
belief that the Masons, Oddfellows,
Knights of PYthias and Kindred Orders
were entitled to like exemption.
And now State Auditor Stone has been
called upon by the Masonic Temple Com
pany of Frankfort to return taxes paid
into the State Treasury on Its building
and furniture on the ground that it is ex-
empt from taxation under the recent de-
cision of the Court of Appeals in Louis
vile eleemosynary institutions cases.
A large number of Lodges in Maysville,
Louisville, Covington and Newport are
similarly affected, and if the Auditor de-
cides that they are exempt, as it is be-
lieved he will, it will take out Of the
Treasury several thousand dollars paid
in by them.
