GILT EDGED TIME.

Pleasant Social Event at Music Hall
Assembly Rooms Last Night.
The complimentary ball given by the
Gilt Edge Social Club in Music Hall
assembly rooms last night, was decided
success. Both halls were prettily decorat-
ed with potted plants furnished by florist
O'Reilly.
Fully 100 couples took part in the grand
ma -ch, which was led by Daniel McNabb
and Miss Katie Branigan. Many pretty
evolutions were executed by the dancers.
Baker Brothers orchestra furnished the
music.
Considerable credit is due to the follow
ing named gentlemen, who acted as a COM
mittee and who worked hard to make the
ball what it was, grand success finan-
cially and socially: James Donnelly,
Chairman; Louis Murphy, Secretary;
Charles Hannigan, Treasurer. Mr.. Han
nigan also acted as Floor Manager, and
had as assistants John Donnelly and Louis
Murphy; aids, John KirwaR, George Du-
prey, Phillip MCGEE, Frank Hannigan,
John McParlin and Arthur THORNLEY,.
The contest for the silk hat created a
great deal of interest. The tile was won
by Henry McNulty, and now his friends
will anxiously look forward to his debut
as the McAllister of the club. The other
contestants were James Slavin and George
Duprey.
Miss Mamie Conlon won the gold watch,
polling 1900 votes, while her opponent,
Miss May Garvin, secured within 800 of
that number. Considering the closeness
of the score, the club decided to present
Miss Garvin with a diamond ring.

SAVED"

Opening Of Week of Drama at the
Opera House.
p. Eugene Sweet, supported by fairly
good company opened weeks stand at
the Opera House last evening in "Saved,"
drama in four acts. The play Is one of
interest. Considering the fact that Arthur
B. Potter, who takes one of the leading
characters of the play, was unable to APP
pear and his place had to be filled at three
hours notice, the performance was a cred
liable one. The leading man of the play is
well known to the residents of Pawtucket
and Providence as a dramatic reciter of
ability, and will doubtless be a success in
drama. The specialties introduced between
the acts are all Of them very clever, and
met with favor.
Miss Frances Aldworth, a vocalist of no
mean ability, was unable to do herself JUS
tice owing to a severe cold, but this trouble
will probably be but temporary. Henry
Waite, who does trick violin act, was
very clever, and his act Is one of the best
musical specialties ever seen in the house.
Charles +. Price, female impersonator,
was good in his line, and the Reno
Brothers do very amusing grotesque
acrobatic act. 'Saved" will be repeated
this evening and the same speciality artists
will appear.

of his employers and those with whom he
was associated. The life of the deceased
was uneventful save that by persistency
of action, and a quiet and unassuming
life, he was respected in his old age by
all who knew him.
Mr.. Wilmarth was born at Lime, N. H.,
in 1913, and like the youth of that climate
was of sturdy and healthy constitution.
When he was about Is years of age he
spent six years in the western part of
Pennsylvania, where he was engaged in
running stationary engines in and about
the mines. From there he came to Woon-
socket, and eventually came to Central
Falls, where he has made his home ever
since. 1t was in 1888 that he located in
Central Falls and Immediately found en-
ployment in the cotton mill of Whipple q
Wilmarth, the latter being a brother of
his. Afterwards he was employed by
Thurber, Horton & Wood, who operated
what is now the old Stafford mill.
His occupation was somewhat varied,
some Of the time being employed upon the
railroad as an engineer, and in various
other places. Mr.. Wilmarth Is survived
by brother, Joseph Wilmarth, who is rs
years old and lives in Saundersville, Mass.
A sister also survives him, Mrs. Rosana
Flether who is about 6S years old.
1t can be seen from this that the family
is a long-living one, and of sturdy stock.
Their sons, all prominent business men,
survive the deceased: Charles H., Olney W.,
and Jabez w. Jr., all residing in this
city. Mr.. Wilmarth's wife died about five
years ago, aged n years, and from that
time until four weeks ago he has resided
alone at his home on Pacific street.
The deceased enjoyed good health until
six or seven weeks ago, when he received
shock which eventually proved fatal. He
was nursed through his sickness by neice
who went to live with him some four weeks
ago. Mr.. Wilmarth was Past Grand
Master of jerks Lodge, A. f. of A. M,
and charter member. He was Past High
Priest of Pawtucket Royal Chapter and
Past Grand King Of the Grand Court. He
was also one of the first members of the
old Pacific engine company, and remained
a member until the company was dis
banded.
The funeral will be held Thursday at 2
o'clock from his residence, No. 5 Pacific
street.
