[ know you can buy

A. o. H.-A large crowd assem-
bled in the auditorium of the Young
Mems Sodality Lyceum, on Duke
street, last night, to witness the exer-
cises in commemoration of the day
ST. Patrick's Day-under the auspices
of Alexandria Division, Ancient Order
Of Hibernians The decorations were
beautiful, palms being placed in every
available spot on the stage and flags of
all nations artistically draped on the
walls, the United States flag being the
most conspicuous, while the Irish flag
was good second. In short, the dec
orations could not have been surpassed,
and much credit is due the committee
-Messrs. T. F. Mccarthy, G. H. Kee-
gan and P. F. Downey-who had the
entertainment in charge. The pre-
gramme was opened with a selection
by the orchestra under the leadership
of Mr.. Reese Cation. Mr.. Flanagan

introduced the speaker of the evening,

eloquent and interesting address on

no little power, and during the whole
of his discourse had the rapt attention
of his audience. Miss Ellie Tyler then
sang solo which was very much ap-
preciated aud elected great applause.
This was followed DO string quintette,
Messrs. Phillips, Downey, Lucas, Bris
coe and Nails. Miss Mai Greenwich
then sang "Three Leaves of Sham
rock" in her usual full and pathetic
voice. Mr.. z. ]. Murphy recited 1.-THE
Gladiator" and well-merited the APP
plsuse he received. Miss Groves, of
Washington, then followed with a So
prano solo, which was very much en-
joyed. Mr.. 2. F. Downey sang Just
Behind the Times" which was very
much appreciated. The closing num-
Der of the programme were selections
by the Leonada quartette. The &C
c)mpanists were Madame Esputa Daley,
of Washington; Miss Mamie Dewitt
and Mr.. w. II. Starnell.

After an absence of three years the

safely returned to Europe from the

an aluminium boat overland to the up

this river the pieces of the boat wee
put together, and two native boats pur

Mrs. Rat;en w3S III inst disposed 10
be sulky and uncommuIicatiye. She
knew no such person at Hiss Xana;
she doubted If she would receive a
ledger bearing such an uncouth name,
inasmuch as she pTided herself upon

this last point the detectives trained
perceptions az once led him 10 have
serious dOubrs-doubts which Il more

"A young oma calling herself Miss

said Josiah promptly.
Daisy FftZclarence was accordingly
interviewed. She and Miss Clifford had
dined with a friend at the Maison
Doree in Soho. She had left them to-
gether after dinner and had seen moth
ing Of Miss Clifford since.
Did Miss Clifford's failure TO re-
turn here strike you us suspicious or
strange" queried Josiah.
NO." answered Daisy, with a hard
little laugh, Il can't say it did. l have

Above all, she desired to accomplish

a debt of gratitude that no money
could possibly repay. Poverty -stricK-

assured that this handsome windfall

demurred no longer to profiting by 1t.
Upon one point, however, she insist
