the past three weeks in order that the en-
tertainment would be made a success and
the fact that the hall was crowded, and
that the crowd remained until the last

the labor was not in vain. The floral dec
orations were in charge of Messrs. GUIDE
& Brother and a committee from Central

James Is. Lloyd. The orator of the evening
was Representative Jas. 7. Lloyd of Mis-
souri,.

FOR FALSE PRETENsEs.
Young Man Arrested in Chicago
Wanted Here.

Detective Lacy started for Chicago this
morning to get Edward ]. Walton, alias
James E. Walton, a young man who is
wanted here for alleged false pretenses. 1t

The young men came here from Camden,

Among their alleged victims are Frederick
A. Schmidt, who gave up some drawing
instruments on forged order; Saks G. Co.,
where d bill of goods including wearing ap-
parel and two rings were obtained; the
Boston House and Lutz & Co. 1t is charged
that the two men obtained goods at two of
the stores by pretending an order had been
sent for them by Col. Thomas Ward, assist
ant adjutant general. Previous to obtain
ing the goods on this order Mrs. Ward was
called on the telephone and asked at what
stores she did her shopping. The man at
the other end explained that the informa-
ton was wanted for a mercantile directory
that was soon to be published. After be-
Ing told that she dealt at Saks & Co.'S and
the Boston House the goods were deliv-
cred to the young man who gave the or
ders, as he said Mrs. Ward was in a hurry
for them.
Walton was arrested in Chicago soon af-
ter he left this city and charged with Civ
ing bogus check. He was tried yesterday
and acquitted Last night Maj. Sylvester
received message from the Chicago po-
lice telling them to send for Walton.

The Choral. Society.

I The talk on die Meistersinger," with
which the active members of the Choral
Society were favored last Monday night by
President King, was greatly appreciated,
as well as the piano Illustrations which ac-
companied it. The thanks of the society
are certainly due to him for his care in the
preparation Of the same, and also to Mr..
Anton Kaspar, who rendered Wilhelm's ar
rangement of the Walther prize song with
exquisite taste. These illustrative lectures
on the music in hand are a very valuable
and instructive feature 0of the Choral So
ciety's work, and by giving the members a
better idea Of WHIST they are singing in
crease their interest in the work and en-
able them to give much more artistic
presentation at the concert than would 9TH
erwise be possible.
