! N THE SOCIAL REALM.

Yesterday was presidents day with the
Ladies Literary club, and the Twentieth
anniversary of the clubs organization
was celebrated by reception. The pres
ent president of the club and all others
in the city who have served in that ca
pacity were in attendance and made ap-
prooriate addresses. while those who are
now absent were represented by letters or
by some friend.
The next social event of general inter
est is the charity ball to be given at
Christensen's on the night of Feb. 4, I'M
Relief society. 1t promises to be a bril-
liant affair.
On Monday evening the Y. L. NJ. I. A.
Toned party, Ito commence at candle
light"
The Auerbach club and their friends
made merry last evening at Christensen's
hall, and they did it in royal style There
were over 125 couple present, about one
half of whom were employees of the great
house the remainder being their wives,
husbands sweethearts and friends The
hall was tastefully decorated in green and
white. the electroliers being festooned
with bunting and the lamps colored to
harmonic with the drapery. At tine
north end of the hall, two gracefully
draped booths were erected, from which
refreshments were served freely to those
who desired them. In one booth, claret
punch was dispensed from a large bowl,
and from the other a delicious lemon ice,
with maccaroonS and lady-fngers. At
the south end of the hall. on the platform,
were placed Japanese screens and several
sofe chairs, sofas and lounges for those
who did not desire to dance. The plat
form was fringed with palms. ferns and
potted plants. and along the sides of the
hall at intervals palms had been placed
upon small stands. The musicians, of
ThlFn
almost completely hidden from view, and
the strains of music fioated out as from
a fairy bower. From the electroliers de-
pended Japanese lanterns, umbrellas, etc,
all of which added materially TO the bril-
liancy of the occasion. In the green-room,
card tables were placed, and many of the
elder ones enjoyed the evening in quiet
game. Most of them. however, found the
dancing too interesting to let slip, and
the floor was always filled Immediately.
The orders of dance were dainty etch-
inss on antique paper. and will be pre-
served souvenirs of this first reunion
of the club. Mr.. r. S. Watson made a
short speech at the opening of the ball.
in which he referred to the advantages of
to unite the employees in a closer bond
of friendship. He babe each and every
person welcome and invited them heartily

Annals-Inside History OF the

Shaking Up of Dry Bones.

Washington, Jan. 25.-War between
the states of Massachusetts, and Yer
mont ragged for brief period on the
floor of the house today over the allie
cations of railroad wrecking in those
commemorative. The combatants were
Messrs. Powers of Vermont and Barrett
of Massachusetts, and the occasion of
strife was the consideration of the re
port of conferees upon the bill provld-
ing for the incorporation of the pur-
chasers of the Atlantic & Pacific rail-
road
The provisions of the bill were an
tagonized by Mr.. Barrett, who charged
that they concealed a gigantic scheme
of stock jobbery.
Mr.. Powers denied that there was
anything of the sort in the bill, and
added that if there had been any
wrecking of the road, as suggested by
the gentleman from Massachusetts, it
had been done by people in and around
Boston. In this connection, he sar-
oastically referred to Mr.. Barretts
congressional experience, which he
compared to that Of rose which
withered and wasted it's sweetness on
a desert air.
In reply, Mr. Barrett gave the house
the history of the receiverShip of the
Central Vermont railroad, conducted by
the superintendent of that state and
extending over a period Of 80 years,
which, he said was the most fraudu-
lent case of railroad wrecking the
country had ever seen. The report of
the conferees was rejected-71 to 143-
and the confereeS were instructed to
insist upon the retention in that bill of
the house amendments, the principal
one of which forbade the issue of stock
except for par value received. The bill
making an appropriation for the mill
tary academy was sent to conference
on the senate amendments thereto, the
house conferees being Messrs. Curtis
(Rep., n. W, Griffin (Rep., Wis.,, and
Tyler (Dem., Va). The house refused
to take up bills on the private calendar,
but for nearly an hour continued in
committee of the whole and considered
the agricultural bill without complet-
ing it.
In the course of its discussion Mr..
Hardy (Rep., Ind.) began speech in
favor of the acquisition of Cuba, and
being refused permission to conclude,
the five-minute rule being in opera
ton, gave notice that no bill should
pass the house by unanimous consent
for the remainder of the session.
At o'clock the house took a recess
until p. m, the evening session to be
for the consideration of private pen
sion bills. .s

What was it?" asked the fat man

to the wisdom of making such an in

He wanted to know if you were the

IF L had a boy who didn't know any
better than to make fun of man be-

serted the fat man with some en-
phasis.
"Oh, so would t. returned the thin
man promptly. Il know how sensitive
fat men are as to their size, and 1
would have walloped the boy if I had
thought he was referring to that, but L

If the fat man had not been consti-
tutionally lazy the thin man would

Humors of Shorthand.

The conference Of shorthand writer's
in connection with the celebration of
the diamond jubilee" of Pitman's sys-
tenn discussed some unusual applica-
tions of shorthand. One fervid gem
tleman enlarged on the advantages of
the swift art" as a help to courtship.
How much gushing affection, the
speaker asked, evaporates in the pro-
cess of writing love-letters in long
hand? The shorthand writing swain,
penning his tender epistles to the pho
nographic maiden, is free from this diff
ficulty His intensest feelings he can
express in fluent strokes and curves the
moment they stir within him. This sug-
gestion brought up another speaker.
who favored his hearers with a little
reminiscence. In remote days he had
desired to put a certain young lady
a certain question, to which he felt
difficulty in giving utterance. A happy
thought struck him: he would put the
question on paper in the symbols of
shorthand. This would be mysterious
to the lady: she would ask him to read
the question and his difficulties would
at once disappear. Man proposes, but
things do not always work out as he
desires. The young lady exhibited no
curiosity, but quietly pocketed the
shorthand. At the next interview with
her lover she calmly told him that she
had unraveled his message, and was
prepared to give an affirmative reply.
The willy maiden had sent the short
hand proposal to Sir Isaac Pitman- who
had supplied her with the translation

'COrsetS That Fit.

All women wearing the same
size Corsets, do not have forms
alike in other respects. The
Royal Worcester Corset Company

observed this fact and provided
for it in its line of goods. Imagine
the discomfort of woman wear
ing an improper length of corset,
to say nothing of the deformity.
Nor is it possible under such cir
cumstances to have dress fit

But we began to talk about the

TO PREVENT LAWLESS ACTS.
MILITARY RESERVATION GRE
ATED IN ALASKA.
st. Michae1s and All Contiguous
Mainland and Islands Within
One Hundred Miles.

| WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The Sec
retary of War to-day issued an order
creating a military reservation in that
part of Alaska lying within radius OF
| fifty miles of st. Michael. The object is
| to confer upon Lieutenant-Col
Randall the necessary legal authority to
preserve order and protect property In
this section of the country.
The department is making an examin-
alton of the geographical conditions of
the country in the vicinity of the mouth
of the Yukon, so as to obtain the data
that will enable it to prescribe exactly
the boundaries of the proposed new
reservation, a task that is by no means
easy in poorly mapped country. 1t is
also desirable to limit the reservation
to the smallest dimensions that will take
| in ST Michaels as a center, and yet m
clude the estuary of the Yukon, where
| it is possible that a lawleSs element
might gather if excluded from the town
itself. The present laws of Alaska Will
continue to prevail over the lands With
in the reservation, but the military ofn-
Ger in charge will have considerably
enlarged powers in the matter OF EJECT

THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
DISAFFECTION IN THE PERSON
MEL OF THE SCHOOL.
The Board of Directors Meet In
Executive Session to Consider
the Controversy.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The Board
of Directors of the Catholic University
assembled in executive session to-day
at McMahon Hall. Cardinal Gibbons.
Chancellor of the University, wearing
his robes of office, presided, and there
was almost a full representation of the
members of the board.
Unusual interest was attached to the
meeting to-day, in view of the presence
of Archbishop Kane, who came recent
ly from Rome to attend the session, and
in view of the reports that disaffection
in the personnel of the university and
of the status of Professor Schroeder,
the champion of the German element in
the church, were to come up. The
meeting was behind closed doors, and
secrecy was maintained by members
of the directorate.
The first question considered was the
financial affairs of the university.
The morning session lasted until l
o'clock, and was confined entirely to
routine matters. The case of Mgr.
Schroeder did not come up, but an un
derstanding was reached that it would
be taken up at p. m. Mgr Schroeder
remained at the divinity building dur
ing the morning, pursuing his usual
duties and subject to call.
From reliable sources information
was secured of the fact that Rome had
spoken on the Schroeder case within the
last few days While there is no
doubt that action has been taken at
the Vatican, there is a wide divergence
of view between those interested in
the case as to the effect of this action
end the nature of it.
1t was stated that the communication
from Rome was limited to an express
sion of disapproval of the controversy
within the university and wish for
its early termination. Persons favor
able to Mgr. Schroeder, however, said
the communications were of a much
more specific character. The first is
said to have been letter written by a
distinguished Cardinal of Europe set
ting forth the result of an interview
with PEOPLE of high standing, during
which the status of Mgr. Schroeder was
discussed. The Cardinals letter is
said to have stated that the Pope did
not wish Mgr. Schroeder removed.
Later than this, however, and within
the last few days, it is said that Mgr
Martinelli. the papal delegate, received
a cablegram from the Vatican putting
in official form the wishes of the Pope
regarding Mgr. Schroeder, and that
these are favorable to the monsignor
This view is not shared by those who
have been most prominently identified
with the university, the prevailing SEN
timent of them being that the hearing
before the directors will certainly re-
suit in Mgr. Schroeder's retirement.
The afternoon meeting lasted from 3
to p. m, when it was announced that
the expected final adjournment to-day
had been deferred, and that there would
be another session of the Directors at
9.30 tomorrow morning.
