Some days ago Mr.. and Mrs. Anton

the Board of Trustees and members of
the Ladies Board for an entertainment
which was given last night at Alien
helm, the beautiful suburban institu-

crosby OF Mr.. Reymann. The guests
went out on a special motor over the
w. & e. G. road at six o'clock. The

named persons: Mr.. and Mrs. Anton

and Mrs. Henry Bieberson, MI. Paul
O. Reymann, Mr.. and Mrs. Louis f.

les Schmidt, Mr.. and Mrs. II. f.
Behrens, Dr.. and Mrs. Cracraft, Mrs.
e. G.. Cracraft, Dr.. and Mrs. Alex
ander Miss Amelia Stamm, the Misses
Reymann and others.
At $50 o'clock the guests discussed
splendid banquet in the dining hall.
The menu was excellent, and the ser
vice could not have been improved up
on. The spread was very pleasantly
discussed, and was followed by a num-
Der Of speeches. The first address was
made by Mr.. Anton Reymann, who
| said:
Ladies and Gentlemen:-It Is with
pleasure | greet this opportunity OF
rendering to the trustees and lady man
ayers of Altenheim my hearty appre
| citation of the able manner in which
they have fulfilled the trust imposed
| upon them. They have been untir-
ing in considering the welfare and
comfort of those who have made this
house a retreat for their old age al
though those entering were mostly
strangers to one another, being of vari-
GUS denominations and nationalities;
| each having his own peculiarities; yet
| the management has succeeded by good
judgment and tact in making them all
feel satisfied to be members Of one fam
lily.
There are, besides the board, quite
a number of friends who have in vari-
Gus avs contributed to the success of
the institution. OF these | would men
ton Mr. Russell, whose legal advice
and assistance has been invaluable in
forming a proper basis for regulating
the affairs of the home; then there are
Doctors Cracraft and Shields, who af-
ter Dr. Stifel's death, so generously Of
fered their services as physicians and
dispensers of medicines. They have
conscientiously carried out this self
imposed duty; they are held in high
esteem by the ladies and are always
welcome as old friends. During the
illness of DR.. Stifel, DR.. Alexander
kindly attended the patients. They
all have my hearty thanks.
MY only regret this evening is that
DR.. Albert Stifel is no more with us.
1t is unnecessary to speak of his many
good qualities of his interest in the
home or his standing in his profession.
He was too well known for this to be
necessary. I would only add that he
was a true friend and one of natures
noblemen.
Thanking YOU all for your attention,
I would like YOU to do justice to the re-
past set before you after grace has
been spoken by DR.. Swope."
Rev. DR.. Swope. President of the
Board, replied to Mr.. Reymann. and
other members made brief remarks.
A brief season was then spent in the
parlors, in listening to vocal and in
strumental music, and the guests re-
turned TO the city on the ten o'clock
motor.
