AN IDEAL HOSTESS.
An Art in Entertaining Which but
Few Acquire.

The saying that One-half of the world ig-
uores how the other half exists received for
nae an additional confirmation this last
week when / had the good fortune to meet
again an old friend now for some years re-
tired from the stage, where she had by her
charm and beauty as we'll as her voice,
held all the Partisan world at her pretty
feet.
our meeting was followed on her part by
a cordial invitation TO take luncheon with
her the next day, to meet a few old friends,
and talk over Old times. 30 12;30 tine IN

omnibuses and the shril cries from the

CITY HIRES THE BOO" GANG.
One of the Members Starts to Clean
Out II saloon.

Harry Sharpe, a member of the "boo
gang" got little money yesterday and
soon turned it into beer and the beer into
himself. This caused a bad combination
and when Sharpe went into a saloon at 299
East Washington street he insisted on TAX
ing control Of the place. The bartender,
George Shaler, objected to surrendering the
place and threw Sharpe out into the street.
Sharpe then armed himself with a pocket
full of stones and renewed the attack, but
before he could demolish the saloon PATROL
men Butcher and Dunn came in sight.
Sharpe ran, but was captured.
The police were looking for trouble from
the boo gang last night and to-day. Sew
eral members of the gang We're employed
last week on the street gangs about the
city and last night they were paid off.
Their earnings were not large, but it does
not require much money to get beer enough
to get the gang drunk for they buy it by
the can or key. The gang probably got
scattered, or if there was a general disturb
ance it escaped the notice of the police.

DIR. c. w. Orland, of Wabash, An
nounces that Miss Ballard Is
Now Mrs. G.. w. OrIand

The friends of Miss Celeste Ballard,
deputy in the office of the secretary of
state, will be surprised to hear of a very in
teresting romance in which that young
woman is a central figure. The story is
told in a dispatch from Wabash to the
Journal last night.
1t is claimed that Miss Ballard has been
the wife of DR.. Clarence w. Orland a we'll
known dentist and leading society man of
Wabash, since June q last. The dispatch
stated that DIR. Orland surprised his
friends yesterday by announcing his mar
rage to Miss Ballard, the ceremony nav
ing been performed at Greenfield, at the
home of friends. The bride is the daughter
of Judge Ballard, of Anderson. For two
years She has held the position of deputy
and chief stenographer in the office of Sec
rotary Owens. She is a young woman of
charming manners and is very popular
about the Capitol.
The people about the Statehouse have
been unaware of a romance right under
their eyes. Miss Ballard evidently guarded
her secret Well. as none of her friends here
knew OF her marriage She is away from
the city at present, but it is understood
she has been off a vacation. She has
been enjoying coy and wel-appointed
Illinois street with Miss Eva Fitzgerald,
deputy state librarian. The latter has not
seen her room mate for several weeks.
Miss Fftgeralds surprise was complete
when she heard of the rumor from Wabash
last night.
Did you ever?" she gasped when told
of the event. L haven't seen Miss Ballard
since l left on my vacation several weeks
ago. l arrived home last Saturday and
found her gone. She left word for me that
she had gone to Elwood for a week We
haven't heard q word from her since then"
one or two young women acquaintance
dropped in while Miss Fitzgerald was dis
cussng the romantic marriage of her friend
and were given the news. 1t was received
with many Calculations of surprise. Miss
Fitzgerald consulted a calendar and de-
cided that her friend could not have mar
ried on June Il, because she was of the
opinion that Miss Ballard was here on that
date
We'll, here's his picture anyway re-
marked Miss Fitzgerald, drawing a large
photo from its place a dainty easel. The
picture was that of a handsome and dis
tinguished looking man of thirty. The Wa
bash dispatch announced Mr.. and Mrs. Or
land would begin housekeeping in that city
next week.
