The governor was greeted with ap-
plause. After he had declared the

introduced Chief Justice Lore amid
loud handclapping. The chief justice
said he understood it was a charity
ball. Charity was woman. He did
not think any man would be charita-
BILE unless woman suggested it. Get
at the bottom of the arrangements
for all such occasions and he said, you
will find it is the result of woman's
thought. There is no charity IN the
whole wide world without women.

men present to find good woman
and unite cheer. The chief Justices
sentiments were received with mark
ed approval. :.
