The Nay Day Ball.

Ihef6 was no one present at the nttn
annual May Day ball. given by the Wo-
mon OF Woodcraft last night, who will
dispute the fact that it was, beyond a
question OF doubt, the best in the his
tory Of similar social events in the city.
There was absolutely a crush, which
would have made dancing uncomfort-
able had those present not been very
good natured and wilint to excuse all
bnup ping and jostlirg. Those who com
posed the crowd belonged to the best
class OF the city's population, and the
order under whose auspices the affair
was given is to be congratulated upon
it's success both socially and financially
The ladies' were handsomely gowned
and amoag the gentlemen no affair in
several years has called olt so many
dress suits. Spring dresses were in or
der and nearly every lady had new
gown for the occasion. Some very beau
tiful creations were worn.
Promptly at o'clock, as advertised,
the grand march began, led by Mayor
and Mrs. j. NJ. SampliDer The march
was one OF which the Women OF Wood
craft were very proud. There were
more than 125 couples on the floor, and,
as they moved in and out of the various
figures, they presented pleasing pic
ture. The grand march was ono OF the
features Of the evening.
The music, which was the principal
attraction OF the affair, was furnished by
both Prof. Boyer's and Prof. McMinn's
orchestras, one i'm either end OF the hall
and playing continuously all the time.
II there were any prejudces for or
against either OF the orchestras before
the ball last night, the playing of both
must have convinced them that this city
possesses two frst-class dance orches.
traa Encores were not permitted, but
on every hand were heard compliments
for both orchestras, and during the en-
tire evening no kicks were heard from
either side. Everything WAS harmon
ious-a circumstance which seldom oc-
ours in affairs so large.
A splendid floor committee kept things
in order and saw to the wants Of the
guests. This committee was composed
OF j. 81. Ackermau chairman, Herbert
Pope, Allan Boise, Bert Sowle and ]. M.
Graham.
A reception committee Of ten ladies OF
the Women OF Woodcraft kept everyone
dancing who desired to do so, and made
strangers acquainted, etc, doing the
hundred and one little things which
help to make such an affair success.
The committee in charge Of the ball,
its arrangements and plans was com
L. Bailey and Mrs. Alice Nichols. The
work for the event has been task and
had not these ladies kept continually at
it day in and day out, their efforts might
not have been so well rewarded. The
committee, with the knowledge that
comes from experience, spared no ex-
pense with their advertising, knowing
full we'll that only by persistent invita-
tion through the columns Of the news
papers could a large number of people
be influenced to come to the bail The
ladies OF the committee declare that il
they had not given 30 much attention to
their advertising they would not have
had such complete success.
just the amount of the receipts and
profit has not heen learned, but the
treasury OF the Women OF Woodcraft
will be good many dollars richer by
reason Of the fifth annual May Day ball.

ABOUT SEA FIGHTERS.

hnd woman writing of the heroes of mil

under consideration is evidently a con-
scientious and careful history and is
withal well told and entertaining.
The book limits its field to representa-
tive Sea-fighterS of various nations, begin

The sea fighters selected by the author
are Francis Drake, Admiral Martin Har-

ment between the Bon Homme Richard
and Scraps. the defeat of the Spanish
Armada, the sea fight on the Downs, the
Ranger and the Drake, Trafalgar and Far

Upon Lord HoratiO Nelson the author
unhesitatingly bestows the title of the
worlds greatest sea-hero. The chapters
relating to the wonderful achievements Of
this great warrior are among the best in
the book. The life and work of john

Not long ago, Miss CoreIli wrote the
editor of an English paper complaining
because her name had been omitted
from a published list of guests at some
distinguished gathering. The editor re-
piled that he had done this in Difference
to Miss Corelli's often voiced objection
to newspaper notoriety and at once the
suspicion arose as to her sincerity in
her opposition to public comment. Miss
Corelli has always seemed to be a very
clever advertiser of Marie Corelli--
perhaps this little argument now being
carried on with the English editor is an
other one of her plans to gain publicity,
not to say notoriety.

York 500 net Postage 20 cents.
DR.. Bradfords book is a valuable ad-
dition to the art literature of the day.
Taking as his theme some ten of the
worlds greatest paintings, the author
discourses on their spiritual signih-
canoe For example. Murillos Inc
Holy Family inspires a chapter on
THE Sanctity of Human Love- ana
Raphaef's 1.-The TRANSPORTATION one on
"The Glory of the TRANSPORTED Life.
In similar fashion eight other themes
are discussed.
The papers are not critical studies
The author states this frankly at tne
outset His one object in preparing
them ne says, was either to interpret
the spiritual meaning of the painters or
to follow the suggestions OF their work
In the list of the worlds great preachers
have been many artists and poets. Their
messages. painted rather than spoken,
have been luminous and impressive

meanings to these fine old art subjects.
if they do not prove a means of in
SEPARATION to all men and women seeking
the inner and higher purport of life.
The author has taken pictures which
he has deemed the best examples of
the religious feeling of the artist as ex-
pressed in his pictures as subjects for
his essays. For instance. in the discus
sion of the work of the great English
painter Burne-J Jones, DR.. Bradford uses
one of the church windows designed by
the artist for his theme. The following
are the artists and the titles of their
work discussed by DR.. Bradford: Burne-
Jones. The Nativity; Raphael, The
Sistine Madonna and THE Transigura-
ton; Geron, La Nuees''; Murillo, The
Holy Family; Munkoesy, Christ on
the Cross; Renouf. 1.-The Pilot; Watts.
Sir Galahad"; Holman Hunt. The
Light of the World; Turner. The Old
Temeraire." DR. Bradford takes the po-
sition that Turner is entitled to high
place in the world of art-if not so high
as Ruskin placed him, nevertheless we'll
up in the front rank. Each chapter is
illustrated by a full-page photogravure
of the painting under considera ton. The
book is clearly printed in bold-faced
type and handsomely bound and the
publishers deserve credit for the care
and skill they have exercised,

Identity of Author of Letters of Self

The widespread interest in the Letters

which has been manifested during their
serial publication in the Saturday Even

extend to the author of these quite remark
able contributions to the literature of
American humor and homely philosophy
Their publication this month in book form
by Small Maynard & Company disclOses
the fact that they are the work of George
Horace Lorimer. the editor of the maya
zine in which they made their first ap-
pearance. and in which they bore only the
signature of John Graham, the supposed

Although now only thirty-four years of
age, before Mr. Lorimer entered upon his
career in journalism he had achieved a
distinct success in the business world
Soon after leaving school. he took a posi-
ton with Chicago firm in which his adj
Vancement was so rapid that at the age
of twenty-four he was in charge of a de

the success which had attended him in
business, Mr. Loriner wanted To get into
journalism. He felt that he had ability in
this direction, and that by cultivating it
might be developed into something.

fore, and Notwithstanding the profuse
apologies which he received the reader
now lives a trembling existence for fear

1t is a natural feeling on the part of
the reader to avoid pubIi&+ recognition

having added to it the scorn of the pub

cover the period from the time John Ora
ham, a Chicago pork acker, sends his
son to Harvard until the latter is consid-
cred able to succeed in the management of
the business. Here are some samples of
the philosophical wit of the elder Graham:
Does college education pay? Does it
pay to feed in pork trimmings at five
cents a. pound at the hopper and draw
out nice, cunning little country sausages
at twenty cents a pound at the other end?
Does it pay to take steer that's been
running loose on the range and living on
cactus and petrified wood till he's just
bunch of barb wire, and sole leather and
feed him corn till he's just a solid hunk
of porterhouse steak and cleo oil?''
You bet it pays. Anything that trains
boy to think and to think quick, pays;
anything that teaches a boy to get the
answer before the other fellow gets
through biting the pencil pays.
College doesn't make fools; it develops
them. 1t doesn't make men bright; it de-
velops them.
Culture is not a matter of a change of
climate You'll hear more about Browning
to the square foot in the Mississippi valley
than you will in England And there's
as much talk on the Lake front in the
Latin quarter. 1t may be little different,
but it's there.
I remember reading once that some fell
lows use language to conceal thoughts
but it's been my experience that a good
many more use it instead of thought.
