Pleasant Social Event.
Twilight Temple of Honor, No. 21, held
a pleasant gathering of members, last eve
ming, at their rooms on Central street. The
entertainment was in the nature of a bas-
ket party and program of vocal and in
strumental music. Previous to the open
ing exercises of the evening reception
and social talk was held, which was very
pleasant for those members who had not
seen one another for some time. j. III.
Thomas and his graphophone gave one of
the most interesting as we'll as amusing
features of the evening. Thomas Berry
and his banjo, in the language of the
streets, did not do thing to the audience,
but tickle them in such manner that he
got very warm reception. w. {. Brown
ing sang 'sWhistling Coon" and "Cant
Change It," and at the conclusion the
house was his. A collation. was served af-
ter the entertainment. The committee
which looked after the affair was III. q.

this occasion, their beautiful and cosey
home being thrown open for the pleasure
of the many guests. Everything was car
ried on in an informal manner, pleasant
and social intercourse being one of the
main features of the event. A good sum
will be realized by the promoters OF the
project.
Annual Meeting.
The annual meeting of the Union City
Mission was held last evening at the Con-
gregational Church on High street. Ow-
ing to the fact that there were great
many other attractions going on about the
city and Pawtucket, the attendance was
not what it ought to have been. The meet
ing was called to order by Charles K. Ellis,
chairman of the committee, and divine
blessing was invoked by Rev. j. A. Lyon.
The Superintendent of the Mission read
his report, and the document was interest
ing throughout. The Superintendent
made many recommendation which are
ofIa worthy nature. He recommended hav-
ing public woodward, where the unfortu-
nate could have chance to earn an honest
dollar Interesting remarks were made and
good advice given by Rev. j. A. Lyon, the
pastor of the church, and Rev. G. w. Hol-
den of the First Methodist Church of
Pawtucket.
When 1t came time to elect officers there
was some difference of opinion as to the
advisability of electing them from the
floor or to follow the old way of allowing
the standing committee to name the OFF,
GERS 1t was finally concluded to let the
matter rest until the next meeting. The
following is the ticket which was intend
ed to be placed before the meeting for
adoption: President, Charles e. Ellis;
Vice President, no choice; Treasurer,
Frank o. Bishop; Assistant Treasurer,
Louisa G. Gammons; Secretary, Mrs.
Laura Humes; Committee, Mrs. w. +.
