march looked particularly brilliant and
enhancing. All the ladies wore elaborate
toilets, and the march as a whole was most
picturesque. The line looked very attrac-
tive as the full splendor of the participants
was shown In the graceful figures exc
cuted. When finally the marchers came
up the floor sixteen abreast the scene
viewed from the balcony and boxes was
one OF surprising beauty. Just before the
last figure was completeed the company
came to halt in the center OF
the hall and had their pictures taken by
fash light. The march was directed by
Mr.. Starkweather, and under his prompt
ing many original figures were executed.
The center of the floor contained very
tasty figure with the inscription "Delaney
Council, No. 81, Knights Of Columbus"
In wax.
At the conclusion OF the grand march
the dancers were arranged for quadrille
figure and then the ball was really begun.
Until o'clock the tread OF the feet was
light and the dancers happy, for with
chosen partners and the best music that
Prof. Fsirman's orchestra could give, there
was no chance for incomplete pleasure.

To find a scene of rarer beauty and more
terpischorean pleasure than that afforded
at the annual concert and reception of
Delaney Council, No. 81, Knights Of Col
umbus, last evening at the Auditorium,
would be difficult here in prosaic Paw
tucket, where as a general rule the charm
of the dance lies alone in the dance itself.
But the Knights of Columbus, composed
of popular young men connoisseurs at the
dancing party, believed in leaving no
small detail unfinished, and as a result
the dance last evening, their fifth annual,
was carried out upon a plan magnificent.
The Auditorium, in its history of many
picturesque events of the social order, was
never seen to better advantage. The spa
cious hall never appeared more beautiful
to the enraptured view of the beholder
than it did last night when transformed
by skillful hands into veritable fairy
bower. The decorations were simply su-
perb, and many events will have come and
passed ere the picturesque scene will have
been equalled. The prevailing colors were
pink, Nile green and white, with exquisite
draperies, sunbursts and festoons, relieved
by white lace and Japanese porteries. No
brps'or unsightly spot could be seen, so
skillfully had Mr.. Cassidy and his assist
ants performed their work. The Audito-
rum In itself is handsome hall, but un-
der the deft and cunning hands of the
decorators 1t had been TRANSFORMED into .
most enchanting ball room. The four walls
served as a frame for picture that will
linger long in the memory of the attendants
and participants of this social function.
Rarely is a prettier scene shown than
the audience in the gallery enjoys at the
annual ball of the Knights. Before them
on the smooth surface are the most fasci-
mating and charming young women that
eligible and fastidious young men could
select, bright and handsome gowns are the
habiliments of the fair sex, made more
dazzling by the gentlemen's dark dress
suits as foil. Thus the large crowd in
the balcony last night watched the gay
party on the floor. Nor was the eye
wearied at any time, for there was rest and
harmony; beauty In the decorations, and
entertainment In the music given by Prof
Fairman's orchestra.
Not until the last moment did some OF
the dancers arrive, and then throwing
aside their wraps, were ready in handsome
evening gowns to take part in the march.
As the Knights Of Columbus have the
reputation of giving the smartest and
most select affair, so each guest endeavors
to keep on par by looking her sweetest

PRETTY MEMENTOES.

Twenty Numbers on Handsome Souvenirs
Were Dedicated to Sister Cou ncils.
There were twenty numbers on the dance
order. This latter was beautiful affair
and worthy souvenir of a truly happy
occasion. On the front cover was a beau
tifuI creation of yellow satin on which
rested celluloid octagon with the inn
print of a maltese cross, emblematic OF the
order. From opposite corners the top
covering OF the frontispiece was raised and
tied at the bottom and top of the satin
creation with dainty white silk ribbons,
forming another maltese cross. On each
side In golden raised letters was the in
scription, "Delaney Council, No. 81, 1897
Souvenir" In dedicating the dances the

THE GRAND MARCH.

Dancers Taken Through q Maze OF 1ntri-
cate Figures With Pleasing Effect.
The feast of concert music over, short
delay followed, and then tho expectant
ones were appeased, for the grand march
was on. It was formed in the lower hall.
Soon the inspiring strains OF the grand
march, Columbia, fioated through a leafy
hedge, which completely hid the numer-
GUS musicians, and the dancers were led
out upon the floor by Floor Director John
jolly, escorting Mrs. Jolly. Under their
skilIful leadership the one hundred or
more couples were taken through maze
of intricate figures, forming among others
the Maltese cross, the emblem OF the or
der. Directly behind Mr.. and Mrs. Jolly
followed Mr.. William J. welch and Miss

THE DECORATIONS.
Very Effective Blending of Nile Green,
Pink and White.

Very Effective Blending of Nile Green
Pink and White.
As the guests entered the Auditorium
they were greeted by q scene of rare
beauty. Under the care of William j. Cas-
sidy the hall presented scene of blended
color which was very effective, the trim
ming OF Nile green, pink and white being
relieved by the setting of evergreens on the
stage. Gallery, boxes and fixtures were
drsped In the delicately- blended tints, and
under the subdued light the guests of the
Council danced the swiftly flowing hours
away. The combination Of colors was one
both delicate and attractive, and the effect
was one both restful to the eye and pleas
ing to the artistic sense of those who were
fortunate enough to dance under the varie-
gated adornment.
An Item In the decorations which doubt
less escaped many an eye were the paint
ings which graced the walls and rear of
the stage. These were works Of art, and in
the dim light of the ball room did not
show to advantage. Fairman's orchestra
were hidden on the stage behind bank Of
ferns, palms and evergreens and from the
large chandelier In the centre OF the build
ing streamers Of the prevailing colors ra-
dated to the limits of the hall. A large
picture OF the patron Saint OF the Council
hung In the rear Of the stage and was en-
closed by an immense star formed Of the
delicate colors predominating In the dec
orations.

SKETCH OF DELANEY COUNCIL

Less Than Seven Years In Existence, with
Membership Of 25O.
Delaney Council No. 81, Knights of Co
lumbus, has now been in existence nearly
seven years, having been instituted July
26, 1890. 1t began its existence with only
q charter members and such has been its
rapid growth that today 1t numbers 25O
members in good standing, showing de-
cided increase over the last year.
The unprecedented success OF the order is
very marked all over; particularly Is this
noticeable in New York, where during the
last year and half the membership has
gained 5000, divided into 20 councils.

The Correspondence in the Case Sent
to the sePate.


Washington. Feb. 1.-The President to-
day sent to the Senate the correspondence
in the Sanguilly case.
Mr.. Olney says in his report to the Pres
ident: 'It should be added that in view
of all the circumstances in this case, and
especially of the long Imprisonment al
ready suffered by the accused, representa-
tions have been made to the Spanish gov
ernment which it is believed will not be
without effect, that the case seems 70 he
one in which executive elemency may be
reasonably exercised.
The last communication N the VolGml-
nous correspondence, consisting of Sl6 NUM-
bers. is a letter from Consul General Lee
dated Dec. 81, last, in which he says ne
visited the Cabanas fort and had talk
with Sanguilly. an American citizen, and
formerly a general Ia the insurgent army.
While a valiant officer in the previous
war he had taken no part in this rebellion.
"He had" writes Mr.. Lee, so far as 1 am
informed committed no overt act IN that
direction (the present insurreciom ana

21 1896. and ended by his being again sem
fenced to perpetual imprisonment. FROM
this second sentence an appeal has been
taken which, whether SucceSSIul OF not,
will greatly lengthen the time he has al
ready passed in his cell. The lawyer who
defended the prisoner in his first trial now
looks from the bar of cell adjoining
his in the Cabanas fort and am informed
that the lawyer who managed ms appear
before the Madrid court has suffered in
consequence thereof, so that 1t may be
difficult to procure in Madrid another per-
son versed in the law, who will consent to
manage for Sanguilly the appeal proceed
ings.
"Only a few days after the arrest Of
Sanguilly proclamation was issued Offer
ing amnesty to all persons in arms VINO
would give themselves up. 1t seems that
this ought to apply to persons who had
been arrested without arms in hand. Two
other Cuban officers of distinction, Roman
Perez Trujillo and Jose Maria Timeteo
Aguirre, were arrested, I am told at the
same time as Sanguilly, and for the same
reason namely because it w,Fs thought
that they would engage In the war. After
a short imprisonment they were liberated.
In view of these facts and for the addi-
tional reason that Sanguilly has been in a
cell twenty-three months. is not in good
health and Is suffering from old wounds, j
respectfully suggest that the department
bring these facts to the notice of the Mad

be wired that he be released from prison

PROCEEDINGS OF PARLIAMENT.
Cable to the West Indies-Imperial
Conference Probable.


London, Feb. LIN the House of Com
mons to-day Joseph Chamberlain, secre-
tary of state for the colonies, stated that
negotiations for the construction of a
British West Indies cable were in prog
ress, and that a French cable laid by
Franco-American Company would COM
pete with the British cable.
Mr.. Chamberlain also said that the
question of an imperial conference to con-
tinue the work of the Ottawa conference,
to take place when the colonial premiers
came to London to be present at the
queens jubilee next June, was under con-
sideration.
Rt. Hon. Arthur ]. Balfour introduced
the education bill mentioned in the queens
speech at the opening of the session, as
"a measure for the promotion of primary
voluntary schools"
The bill, he said, was limited to a simple
measure relating to voluntary schools.
The scheme formulated in 1896, he said,
mad collapsed because it was too COM
prehensive. Reform in education must be
dealt with piecemeal, and it was now pro-
posed that the state grant to voluntary
school shillings per child, which in the
aggregate would amount to f616500 annu-
ally.
Arthur H. d. Acland, liberal, moved the
rejection of the bill chiefly he said on
the ground that the measure did not prom
