given last evening at the residence of
Mayor Frank B. Doran, POI East Con-
gress street, in the interest Of the G.
A. r. monument fund. AS is already
pretty generally understood, the work
OF raising this fund has been under
taken by the ladies who assisted in pre-
pairing for and conducting the national
encampment, which occurred in this
city last fall, and it is their purpose
that the monument shall commemorate
that event as we'll as show honor to
the Union soldiers, both living and
dead
The gathering of last evening was in
tended particularly to arouse interest
in the project in the Sixth ward, but
the attendance was by no means con-
fined to the residents of that portion
Of the city, and the parlors and halls
Of the mayors comfortable home were
taxed to their utmost capacity
Mrs. Doran was assisted in receiving
the guests by Mesdames G. l.. Cole
man, w. B. Bourne, Vincent Hawkins,
George Doran, William Doran, Hart
land Johnson and P Durat
The evening was devoted to a pro-
gramme Of recitations and music, which
opened with a patriotic song by Mrs.
Henry Dampier and Mrs. Charles
Woods. The monument project was
presented to the company by J. M.
Hawthorne in a brief but impressive
address, in which he set forth the ap-
propriateness Of erecting a monument
to the Union soldiers by this act of re-
spect and devotion concentrating the
honor which this city had enjoyed in
entertaining a national encampment of
the G. A. r. Among the members of
the company who contributed to the
programme were Miss Margaret Len
non, who read Robert G. IngersoIPs
celebrated composition, "a Dream of
War;" Mrs. Clifford, who read an
original poem, entitled Boys in Blue;"
Miss Bessie Bodkin played a piano
solo; Mr.. George Buck and Miss Jennie
Buck a duet for violin and piano, and
Mrs. Robb and Miss McEwan a piano
duet.
One Of the gems Of the evening was
a patriotic song by Oscar Lienau. AL
though it is proposed to give a series
Of entertainments later for the benefit
of the fund, those who were present
last evening were given an opportunity
to make donations at once by means
Of contribution box thoughtfully pro-
