Ladies' night at the Catholic club was
largely attended and all present passed
very pleasant evening. Fully $50 Ia
dies were present and the young gen.
tlemen Of the club saw to it that they
We're well entertained. The early part
of the evening was given up to cards.
A very lively debate on the following
interesting subject followed: "Resolv-
ed, That in this part of the world, I'M
der present circumstances, it is better
for a man to remain single and die a
bachelor than to enter the matrimon-
ial state"
The affirmative side Of the question
was upheld by Rev. c. G. Toilet and d.
H. Morgan. Both speakers confessed
that they reluctantly assumed that side
Of the question, but it is only right to
say that they sustained their side of the
argument with considerable skill and
marked ability The remarks and wit
ticisms of Father Toilet in particular
were immensely enjoyed by the audi
ence, and evoked considerable laughter
and well merited applause. The mega
tive side Of the question was ably sup
ported by Messrs. AfcCaffery, r. ]. Muir
ply, Vincent A1cMullen, Mrs. James Z.
Foley, Mrs. T. ]. Fleming, Miss Mary
A. Mclaughlin and Miss Nellie Shea
They drew a delightful picture of the
pleasures Of matrimonial life, the IN
speakable beadtude Of welded lives,
and that unalloyed happiness which
only belongs to the Union of two loving
young hearts. One young lady orator
in particular aroused considerable en-
thusiasm and literally brought down
the house by the graphic description
she gave of the sad and forlorn condi-
ton of Adam in the garden of Eden
during his bachelor days.
AS she told of the trying ordeal Of
poor Adam being obliged to get up in
the early morn to prepare his frugal
meal it was noticed that several con-
firmed old bachelors in the audience
We're seen to bow their heads and brush
away sympathetic tear at the
thought Of the great progenitor Of the
human race being obliged TO cook slap
jacks for his breakfast.
The spectacle was indeed most pa
thetic and forcibly brought to the
minds of several that memorable scene
described in the writings of Mark
Twain, where he shed tears over the
tomb of Adam. The debate was finally
decided by nearly unanimous vote in
favor of the negative side of the ques-
ton.

Scenes from the famous Passion play
as presented once every ten years in
the little village Of Oberammergau, Ba-
varia, were reproduced at St. PauPs
church on the evenings of the 26th and
9th with the aid of Edison's wonderful
moving pictures.
The Savior's life, from the very mo-
ment the shepherds first saw the star
Of Bethlehem and heard the joyful It'd
ingS of the birth of Christ until the
sublime finale when the Redeemer
slowly assembled to heaven, was shown
by a series of Photographic tableaux
The scenes of Christs triumphal entry
into Jerusalem, the raising of Lazarus
from the dead, the last supper, the
trial and condemnation, the awful
journey to Calvary and finally the cru
cifixicn Of the Messiah were all given
on the canvas. The expressions on the
faces of the actors in the great drama
could be distinctly seen and everything
in the pictures.
The originator of the drama.
from which these views were
taken, had twice been himself
an actor in the play as given by
the Bavarian peasants, and after COM
ing to this country spent S125,O00 in
securing costumes and scenery and
necessary paraphenalia for the pro-
duction.
The views were made more interest
ing by the lecture which was given
at intervals during the play.
