OLD MAIDS CONVENTION.

the most amusing, entertainments glv- en here in years WAS the Old Maids Convention at the Town Hall on We'd nesday evening of last week. The au- ditorium was entirely full of expectant people when the old maids began to ar. rive and take the seats reserved for them on the stage. The convention was called to order by Miss Lovejoy, president, who rapped the meeting to | order with potato masher. Then the fun commenced in earnest for the audi enoe. Ton should attend an old maid $ convention 10 know anything about 1t. The roll call which was answered by quotations of the sweetest kind, the re- port of the lookout committee and the remarks kept the onlookers in constant laughter. This report should be kept for reference, and we wish we dare quote some of it The local hits came fast and were very apt.
 All the characters were impersonated splendidly and it is difficult to make special mention, although to our notion Mrs Ives as Sarah Jane Springster, the chairman of the lookout committee, had the star part, in which she was thoroughly acceptable, aud as for make. up she would certainly take the prize. Mrs Barnes, as Miss Loveioy the presi- dent. was very easy in her lines and car ried the part nicely, Miss Lily Barnes, Mrs Bierce, Mrs Camp and Mrs Pease had considerable to do, and acquitted themselves with credit, as did all the rest.
 The made-over maids and Malone and The Man gave pleasing specialities up on their appearance from the professors machine. Miss Attleton sang, Miss Adam recited, Miss Barnes read, Miss Watson gave 8 dumb bell drill, Miss VanDeusen had lost her dog, Messrs Peirce and Felten sang appropriately the little Misses Mabel Quinn and Caro- line Camp danced very graceful cake walk, and Mrs Warne as swell darky gal sang "I Lub Dat Man" W. H. Camp and Mrs Lee furnished incidental music.

You'd find wondrous story written there;
1t is the tale my lips would frame to thee
If but dare, il but dare.

An angels whisper, soft as summers wind.
There is heart which heaven has made for thee:

BY land and sea, by home and foreign shore,
Until into your eyes he gazed and knew
His search was DER, his search was Ger
