THE CHILDREN'S SOCIAL.

An event quite out of the ordinary
routine of the winters festivities was
the social given for the members of
Paul Thom's junior dancing class last
Friday evening at Concordia Opera
house. That the little folks had many
interested friends was evidenced by
the large number in attendance, who
were all manifestly pleased with the
array of youth, beauty and grace before
them. When the grand march formed
at few minutes past 8, about thirty
couples fell into line under the leader
ship of Master Lew Parks and Miss
Emma Nowack, who skillfully guided
their followers through a very pretty
march which terminated in the pOpu
lar two-step. The program following
was we'll calculated to display the pro
gress Mr.. Thom's pupils haye made
during the past three months, COM
prising as it did great variety of plain
and fancy dances. The stage exhibi-
ton of fancy dances consisted of the
fishers hornpipe by May Thorn, whose
winsome grace captivated her audience; !;
the highland fling by Jessie Mckay and
the skirt dance bv Minna Weber, both
most artistically performed; the Lo-
ralne gavotte by the younger members
of the class, and the Chautauqua square
by the Older pupils. The intricate
beauties of the Chautauqua square were
accomplished with ease and grace, the
eight couples taking part being:
Lew Parks, Frieda Hoermann,
Alex PlatZ, Anna HGbhegger,
Lee Mendanhall, Gertie Seibel
Walter SchmutZler, Amy Nichols,
John SchmutZer, Emma NOWack
Arthur Kramer, Grace Bertram
Connie WiggenhOrn, LeOna Brandt,
Willie Beurhaus, Olive Parks.s
But while it is hardly just to discrim-
mate where all was so well done, 1t
seems but voicing the general opinion
to say that the Lorraine gavotte by the
wee ones of the class was the favorite
number of the evening, its quaint and
pretty evolutions bringing forth enthus-
iastic applause from the spectators
Following is list of those appearing
III the gavotte:
Almon Eaton, Florence Rule,
Whitman Smith, Della Harrison,
Carl Thorn, Anna Bertram,
Marguerite Evans, Ethel Norris,
Esther Kuehn, May Smith,
May Ihom, Genevieve Bradley.
The scene throughout the evening
was most attractive one, the airy,
dainty costumes of the youLg dancers
comparing favorably with those of their
elders Oh like occasions At 10 O'Clock
the march for supper was formed, and
while the little ones were enjoying a
bountiful supply of delicacies in the
supper room downstairs, the older
young folks present took possession of
the dancing floor which was theirs from
that time on into the early morning.
Music for the dancing class was fur.
nished by Arthur Hardege on the vio-
lin and Miss Minnie Sproesser as piano
accompanist, while Hardege's orchestra
discoursed sweet strains for the dane
ers who filled the floor the latter part
of the evening.
Mr. ThOm is to be congratulated up
on the success of his social, and may
we'll feel proud Of his ability as instruc-
tor IN the TerpsichOrean art.

tism that he was only able to hobble

than all other medicines and treatment
put together. For sale at so cents per

DEATH Or CHRIST. MAY.
Stricken Unconscious Friday and Passes

WeIl-known Ci tizen.

Away Monday AfternOOn-A
Well-known Ci tizen.
The startling news was circulated
about the city last Friday that per-
haps fatal accident had befallen Chris
tian May, one of our best known resi-
dents, while on his farm in the town of
Watertown. Later adyices, however,
were to the effect that no accident had
occurred, but that Mr.. May had been
selzed with convulsions, to which he
had been subject for some time. He
had passed into an unconscious state
and his condition was considered critl-
cal by the attending physicians and
was the cause of grave alarm to bis
relatives and friends. His ultimate
passing away seemed inevitable to
those best acquainted with his weak
ened system, and, never regaining
consciousness, he breathed his last at
4:2O o'clock Monday afternoon, at his
residence on Third street. Mr.. May
was in the 72d year of his age. His
death may be directly attributed to
apopiexy.
The subject of this sketch5first saw
the light of day in the southern part of
Germany, on the River Rhine, August
"a, 1924 When % years of age he came
to the United States to seek his fortune,
first locating in Buffalo. N. Y, later in
Michigan and then IN Chicago, in which
place he learned the cooper's trade.
In lS49 he settled in this city and es-
| tablished himself in business as pro-
! prietor of cooper shop and saw mill,
which be conducted for twenty years.
| Mr.. May also invested in saw mill in
Wood county in 1884, where be earned
the distinction OF being one of the first
manufacturers of slaves in the North
west to utilize steam power. Some
twenty years ago Mr.. May engaged
with others in the manufacture of -four
here, first being a member of the firm
of F. Miller & Co. and later being a
large stock holder and director in the
Globe Milling company. His interests
in the latter be relinquished about
three years since. He was one of the
organizers of the Merchants bank
holding the position of vice president
| from its inception to the time of his
! death. He was also the senior member
of the creamery firm of &. May & Sons,
and during his life time was associated
! with various other business enter
prises, al WAYS to the welfare and pros
perity of the community. From a
small beginning, Mr.. May had met
with fattering success in his undertak-
ings, and he may truly be classed as a
self-made man. His thrift and energy,
coupled with the strictest integrity,
were notable traits of his character,
and now show their results in the
handsome competence he leaves be-
hind.
Mr.. May was married in 1852 to Miss
Lena Gloger, the fruitage of this union
being two sons, Gustavus and Edward, :,
both respected and worthy citi-
zens. Mrs. May passed to the other
world in the winter Of 1892, and the sad
shock to her husband had been only
too apparent ever since.
The funeral of the deceased will be
held at the residence, 610 Third street,
Thursday afternoon at 2 O'Clock, the
interment to be in Oak Hill
