 Fund,

 Fund.
 Ohman's Hall was literally packed last Monday evening by an eXpectaut audience. The young ladies of the Is- land had announced that they would give an entertainment for the benefit of the Catholic Church Building Fund, and, whether it was from motives of philanthropy or a curiosity to see what the young ladies would do, at any rate the people were there.
 About 9 o'clock MT. T. C. Quinn ap- peared on the stage and announced that the Miller Brass Band having failed to putin it's appearance-it being first on the program-Mr. T. Williams would favor the audience with a vocal solo.
 Mr. Williams promptly appeared and as promptly captivated the hearts of his hearers, 8s the applause that fol- lowed testified He responded to an encore with a selection equally as good
 Miss Katherine Spiels came next with a recitation that interested and amused, not only the older ones, but
  dent admirers.
 The band having now arrived dis coursed sweet strains and retired gracefully.
 Mir. Quinn had fitted the stage for the occasion with a number of incan- descent lamps, with cOlOred globes, worked by a switch board in one of the wings, and with the aid of these the tableau, "The Fortune Teller" was made most beautiful.
 Master Tom Carmony surprised ev erybody by singing solo in a very masterly way.
 The vocal duet by Miss Edith and Miss Jennie Larsen, of Juneau, was a surprise to many, who had not expected to be greeted with such evidences of musical culture. After much vigorous Applause they again sung more sweetly than before Their voices blend per fectly and show the perfect training they have undergone.
 Miss A. M Jordison, also of Juneau, wrought sweet music from that instru- ment which is so often abused by anna teurs, but which is so sweet in the hands of an expert, and was recalled by the enthusiastic lovers of good mu- sic.
 Miss A. Mccormick, who is always favorite, was at her best in recitation, and merited the applause she received.
 A full chorus by the young ladies was we'll rendered.
 The tableau, "The Music Lesson" while very good was not appreciated fully by the young men, who were lost in wonder as to how MT. Howell always secures such enviable positions in all the entertainments.
 After a cornet duet by the artists Miller and Fulmer, Mir. Quinn an nounced that as MT. Elliott was busy selling pills and paregoric, Mrs. Ross had kindly consented to take his place. | The duet by Mrs. Ross and MT. Will | Hams was much appreciated, even by . Mir. Elliott who came in in time to join . in the applause.

 Fannie Penglase, Esther Crofts, Ma rv Fox. Maggie Fox, Annie Mccormick, Adele Sandman, Olga Sandman, Annie | DOQ6SuSy, uudIy V I4GdlJ, NuciAJ IIdlIp- ton, Agnes Egan, Maggie Shotter, Min nie Museth Sadie King, Florence Crofts, and Lizzie McKenna.
 After the program was finished MT. Quinn announced that those who wish ed might remain and dance and, as is l. usually the case in Douglas City, many | remained A supper was served on the | lower floor of the hall.
 The entertainment was a success also 1 from a financial standpoint and about | $40 will be turned over to the fund by i the young ladies.
