proved social and financial success.
This organization has among its members
many of the most popular young men OF

friends, to the number OF 125 couples,
made up very Jelly party. The music
for dancing was furnished by the Capitol
orchestra, and gave thorough satisfac-
tion. The grand march was led by floor
director James L. McGinn and Miss Nell
lie Hanna, and Mr.. McGinn was assisted
in the Performance of his duties by assis-
tant floor director Thomas II. Dunn and
Owen }. McVey, Frank II. Suprey,

ton were the reception committee.
The club will open its annual fair on
next Saturday evening and the fair will
be continued every Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday evenings during the present
month. The order OF dances was q
unique and very handsome one.
Yesterday afternoon Benuie Waterman
and Joe Conner were playing In their back
yard at 553 North Main street and for Q
time they enjoyed themselves With all
the abandon Of boyhood. Their playing,
however, came to rather unexpected
ending by reason OF stone thrown ny
Joe. He did not intend to hit young
Waterman, but not having the same con-
troll over the rock after 1t left his hands
that good baseball pitcher has over a
ball, the rock struck Bennie on the side
of his head. The result OF the collision
was severe scalp wound for Bennie and
DIR. Charles +. Marston was called on and
he had to take four stitches in closing the
wound. The only punishment received
by Joe wss that administered by his par
ents; probably he thinks that was enough.
McKenna's liquor store at the corner OF
Orms and Easten streets was broken into
amount OF whiskey and some money
taken. There is no clue TO the guilty
party or parties.
The rim of one of the wheels OF a wagon
in which were seated two men and wo-
man, all very much under the influence
OF LIQUOR. came of near the corner OF
Gladstone avenue and Shawmut street
about 8 80 O'Clock last night.
Sometime Wednesday morning thief,
who was very hard up for ething to
steal, stole a barber pole from In front Of
the shop of Ermipo TalcoDi on Charles
street. There were private marks placed
by the owner on the pole, but they will
probably not interfere with its combusti-
biity.

District Deputies Clegg and Sullivan as
