A
ance last evening. A bazaar to
aid the church is being held there, and
the members OF the exclusive set who be-
long to the congregation turned out in
force to patronize the pretty booths.
Pursestrings were opened and articles of
every description were carried away as
souvenirs of a delightful affair
The bazaar is a fixture of st. Lukes
Church. Each year the ladies of the
church help some deserving cause by pre-
senting articles of every description to the
committee in charge, and these articles
are placed in attractive booths and sold
to the visitors by pretty girls
Bellies who have made their bow in So
ciety and some who have just started in
the whirl of the exclusive set disposed of
fancy work, refreshments and useful ar
ticIes with a skill that was surprising. The
beaus turned out in force. Fathers and
them left the hall until his pockets were
depleted.
The scene was a brilliant one. Beautiful
women handsomely gowned passed from
booth to booth buying articles with a gen
erosity that bespoke prosperity for the
bazaar.
The booths presented very attractive
appearance. They were decorated with
evergreens and bunting. Japanese lam
terms and umbrellas were used with pleas
ing effect. The lemonade booth did
to cultivate a thirst after looking at the
large bowls containing the beverage. The
refreshment-room was filled with visitors
during the entire evening.
The bazaar will continue to-day. Three
young ladies will discourse music during
the afternoon and evening, and prominent
ladies will receive the visitors and pilot
them to the booths. The rush at some of
the booths last evening reminded one Of a
special sale at drygoods store. The ba-
zaar is success, and it is due to the eff

WILL MEET TONIGHT.

The Republican Caucus Call Is Said
Insurgents.
The Republican members of Council
will meet tonight to caucus upon the
election of the Gas Board. There has
been bitter fight against Emanuel
Buchanan for reelection, and while his
friends say that he will win out, it is
claimed on the other hand that he has
no chance.
Various reports concerning the pro-
bable caucus nominees are in circula-
ton. and among the names most
prominently mentioned is that of Har-
ry w. Mcclure. 1t is said that the OPP
position to Buchanan has centered up
on Mcclure.
More interesting than the fight for
membership of the Board is the atti-
tude of the insurgent Republican mem
bers of Council, Messrs. Chew, st.
Myers, and Marshal. They have hith-
erto voted with the Democrats upon
every party qestion, and in view of the
fact that they obligated themselves by
a solemn oath to do so. they have act
ed consistently. Democrats felt no
concern regarding the personnel OF
the Gas Board, as they were secure If
they could hold their own men in line
This view was strengthened by the
outspoken views of the three insur-
gents when they were attacked by the
Republicans They had great deal
to say to them about the binding eff
feet of solemn oath.
Notwithstanding the obligation TAX
en- by the insurgents at the memorable
caucus with the Democrats. a Register
reporter was told by prominent Re-
publican Office holder last night that
he saw the names of the three insur-
gents attached to a call for Republi
can caucus. 1t is hardly credible, but
it's truth or falsity will be demonstrate
ed by subsequent events.
