AGED ana orpnan BeneIiclar1es AS
sembled at Con zaga Hall.
One of the prettiest and most pathetic OF
all the New Years entertainments was
given yesterday afte rnoon at GonZaga Hall.
The audience was composed of the aged and
infirm white and colored inmates of the
home controlled by the Little Sisters of
the Poor, some OF them over ninety years of
age; the male orphans of st. Joseph's
Asylum, in charge of the Sisters of the
Holy Cross, and the female orphans of St.
Vincent's Asylum, in charge OF the Sisters
of Charity.
The sacred melodrama, "Christ is Born"
was given by the boys of st. Aloysius' Par
ochIal School, the acting, costumes, and
scenic effects, being admirable and pic
turesque. The old people and the orphans
comprising the audience were the guests
of the lady teachers of the parochiaI
school, the scholars and prominent ladies
of the parish. Carriages were sent for the
old folks, inmates of the home controlled
by the Little Sisters of the Poor by the
lady patronesSes. The faculty of Gonzaga
College also acted as hosts, some of the
priests performing the duties of ushers
Father c. Gillespie, president of the col
lege, greeted the old and young charges of
the church with hearty handshake and
cheerful smile.
The E1elodrama was written by Rev.
Aloysius BroShan, S. j., former pupil of
the parochial school, but who is now
professor at the Woodstock College, Md.
The play, with striking tableaux, beautiful
scenic effects, sweet music and pretty
marches, was given by nearly 15O boys of
the school, whose ages average between
ten and eleven years, under the direction
of Rev. p. J MCKINLEY.

sissippi' a new hat in payment of bet
upon the days receipts, which were very
large.

At the National Theater next week merri-
ment OF the highest order OF excellence will
reign, when Hoyt's "A Mix White Flag"
viii be prese nted Familiar in this city by
reason Of its former great success, filling
the theater with enthusiastic audiences and
creating iI.cessant laughter OF the heartiest
kind, it is hardly necessary to dilate-at
any length on the characteristics of this
production. 1t came, it was seen, and it
conquered, and no doubt Will come and do
the same thing all over again.
"a MIX White Flag is a spectacular
satire ON the militia of this country. 1t
teens with bright lines, particularly Hoyt-
esqUe in their sharpness, and the fOIlies and
foibles OF the dress-parade soldiers are
satirized with humorous, and. to use
paradoxical expression, kindly severity.
Mr.. Hoyt never allows his pays To grow
stale, and it is claimed that he has added
much in the way of music, scenes and
specialties that are new.
The cast this season will be much the
same as seen here when this piece was last
presented. All the old fayorites have been
retained, while u fe W new people have been
added. The newcomers are Harry GilfOil,
Washington boy; Mat Snyder, George
Schiller and Belle Archer.
