A Pleasant Function.

Society, which has been upusually
dull during the past two weeks on ac-
count of the exacting demands of
General La Grippe, varied the program
by granting two very pleasant func.
tions last evening. One was the com.
pany given by MIR. and Mrs. w. M
Carlisle to a score of their friends with
whom they have been so pleasantly
associated during the past four months
In their wanderings through the land
OF Pharaohs.
Some of the party had brought with
them something more tangible than
memories. Miss Turner exhibited q
specimen of genuine Egyptian papyrus
and portfolio filled with specimens
of the flora of the Nile.
Mrs. Dewell required the tourists
review their Impressions of the land
and compare the modern and ancient
civilization of its people.
AT III O'Clock the company repaired
to the dining room where most elab-
orate supper was served. The menu
cards that attested to the artistic skill
of Miss Turner were beautifully dec
GRATED with the scenes which had been
visited by the tourists or the animal
most common to the country.
While in Egypt it had been sscer-
tanned that the ancient inhabitants
rad always prolonged their feast six
or seven hours, the company seemed
desirous to emulate this example, as
they arrived at the hospitable home of
Mrs. Carlisle on one day and did not
depart until the next one was we'll es-
tablished

Everyone had a glorious time ex-
ceptlng a certain patriarch who hither-
to has regarded himself irresistible.
and really has proven himself SO as
long he remained "out in the woods, y
but from some unexplalnable reason
last evening he found every woodland
fairy averted her face at his approach
until his face took on avery crestfallen
look and one maiden, more kind
hearted than the rest, took pity upon
him and restored his equlnnity.
One of the pieasantest evenings in
the history of the organization was
spent and the dancers fingered until
the morning hours. Many words OF
appreciation were expressed concern
ing the untirlng efforts of Nelghhors
Alstrand, Warren. Schnurr and Geo
Cox who made such delightful even
ing's entertainment possibility.

Insolvent for Eighteen year

Expert Accountant Walters So
Testifies Regarding Condition
Of OMcer&Pusey Bank State
ment to be fought.
"The Officer&Pusey bank has
been insolventsince April2, 1883, :"
is, in brief, the sensational testi
mony of Expert Accountant G. u
Walters in the case Of those c,edi-
tors who are trying to show that
their deposits we're fraudulently re
ceived and should be- made pre-
ferred claims. In detail, Mr. Wal
ters' testimony shows that the
banks's insolvency on April2, 1883
was S54,96008, on November 8,
1892, it was $l09,l02.ll, and on
January 2. 1896, it was s2ll, ,504,59
The banks attorneys are fighting
Walters testimony stubbornly,
and much warmth was developed
yesterday afternoon. Attorney
Harl for the bank got Walters to
admit that he had not included in
his statement of the banks con-
dition, the personal estates of
Thomas Officer and w. NJ. Pusey,
and did not know when he made
his statement whether Julia Officer
and a number of others of the
banks creditors, whose notes he
had put down as worthless, owned
enough property liable to execu-
tion to cover the amount of their
obligations to the bank. The
banks attorneys hope to prove that
Walters has judged as worthless
enough debts secured by property
to establish the solvency Of the
bank up to the time it suspended
! business.
