formal musical and literary program,
and aside from several renditions by
the local guests was an artistically rem

The most notable and delightful func-

and dance, on New Years Eve, tender

Rooms. The rooms were artistically
decorated and thronged with some
seventy young people, attired in evening

A SERIES OF ENTERTAINMENTS

Among the many strangers who
visited the city during the Christmas
holidays was Miss Estella o. Hall, an
attractive young school teacher of At
lanta, Georgia During her stay in the
city she was the honored and welcome
guest of Miss Ida D. Washington, OF
LeDroit Park.
On Christmas night a theater party

served
On Saturday and Sunday, acoompan-
led by a number of Washingtonians,
visit was made to Baltimore, where
they were delightfully."- entertained by

night Miss Washington, assisted by the
Misses Julia E. Davis, Genevieve Good

XMAS AND NEW YEAR GREET
ING.

Two social functions in which the
presence and wit of the masculine gender
shone with respondent luster, were the
greetings of "Ye Merrie Christmas"
and the Happy New Year, on those re-
spective festal occasions. In the first
case the gracious host was Mr.. L. NJ.
Hershaw, who entertained a coterie of
friends at his cosy home, 1860 T street
northwest, and the companion-piece was
the toothsome and appetizing spread
of Mr.. w. L. Houston at the head
quarters Of the Local B. NJ. c., 1905
10th street northwest. The days were
made lively and long to be remembered
by the communion of vivacious spirits,
me1odious song-sparkling repartee, and
the renewal and cementing of old
friendships. The company on each oc-
casion was practically the same, and in
cluded Messrs. Daniel Murray, Robert
Pelham, Jr, J. A. Cobb, H. P. Slaugh-
ter, R w. Thompson, w. T. Menard,
u. L. Houston, T. A Johnson, together
with Messrs L. NJ Hershaw and w.

BRILLIANT NEW YEAR RECEP-
TIONS.

The era of prosperity had a marked
effect upon the observance of New
Years Day by Washington society.
More generally than for years, the many
elegant homes were thrown open for the
formal reception of the gentlemen call
ers, and the ladies' never looked so
charming or exercised better taste IN
the arrangement of their toilettes. Fully
fifty "open houses" were announced,
and hundreds of others were prepared
to extend hospitality in bountiful, but
informal manner to close personal
friends From 2 p. m until midnight
there was continuous procession OF
"gallants," some in carriages and others
contenting themselves with the municipal
electric coach or 'pedestrianizing." The
New Year, from every standpoint,
starts out auspiciously, and therefore,
happily. q 8z

THE AN1PHIONS EN- ROUTE.

The Amphion Glee Club celebrated
New Years Day in their usual royal
style, being represented by their crack
quartette, Messrs. J. Henry Lewis, ].
H. Washington, William De Long and
Winston D. Payne. They chartered a
carriage, and at three-score homes their
voices made the welllin ring with song,
to the delight OF all the ladies that time
permitted them to so favor. The Am
phions are always up-to-date, and we
are warned that their mid-winter fete
soon to take place, will be the sultriest
social event that has come down the

ABUSING YET HUMlLlATlNG SPECTACLE

Oh what fall there, my countrymen |!
About one hundred and fifty of Utah's school
teachers tried to spell fifteen words Monday after
noon, but they all failed. Men and women who
have been laboring with children for years in an
effort to teach them to spell correctly failed on
the words so easily they hardly knew how it hap
pened The words were given to them by Professor
Henry r. Pattengill of Michigan in the course of
has lecture in Barratt hall. What makes it more
humiliating for the pedagogues is the fact that
the words are all plain English words-words that
are used nearly every day. Here they are: Wis
consln, bilious Tennessee, auxiliary. received, be-
heved, cylinder, Inflammation, succotash. desicca-
tor, proceed precede, supersede picnicking, inter

it is good the "veto" was introduced, because it
hastens the date of its repeal In fact this IS one
of the things Catholics may expect from the pres
ent Dontif.
Giuseppe MuccioE, an Italian writer familiar
with the events leading up to the selection of
Cardinal Sarto for pope, presents in Donohoe's
Magazine some incidents attending the introduc-
ton of the so-called veto. 1t is said that the
scene which followed the declaration of the veto
both solemn and appalling "As soon as Car
dinal Putryna had finished reading the imperial
message, cry of righteous indignation rose from
the august assembly, but was almost Immediately
hushed by the voice of Cardinal Rampolla him
self, who rose from his seat and though declar-
ing himself unworthy of the papal dignity, never
theless energetcally protested as a member of the
Sacred College, against the violence which an
earthly power had dared to commit against the
freedom of the ConcIave. Cardinal Putryna might
have answered trying to explain the emperors

the eager attention of the sacred council In
heartfelt terms he began splendid euOgim of

of the highest dignity, and, turning then toward
Cardinal Putryna, who stood trembling. awed by

Church during the interregnum addressed to the

freedom of the Conclave by introducing the veto
at the command of earthly sovereign"
1t is said that the veto pronounced by Austria
on the name of Cardinal Rampolla was the cause
of his defeat. Nothing less true" maintains the
writer. without the coalition of the foreign car
dinals that same veto would have made Rampolla
a Pope, such the indignation of the Sacred
College at the daring of the Emperor of Austria
III attempting to control the will of the Conclave
But if the Italians ready to subordinate other
issues in their desire to rebuke the insulting in

Conclave stood their ground and the relative po-

prophet.

Thomas B. OReily, who was buried from the
Catholic church last Wednesday, was born in Ire
land. When boy he went to London England
and worked in dry goods store for a few years
He came to Montreal Canada, in 1851, and in
1859 was married to Eliza Beauchamp, a descend
ant of the early French colonizers in that part of
Canada He came to Salt Lake in 1871, where he
engaged in business with his brother, James j.
O'Reilly, who died in 1896. During his long resi-
dence III this city he the esteem and good will
of all who knew him, because of his retiring and
unobtrusive nature and quiet and simple habits
AS citizen Mr.. O'Reilly was highly respected
by all who knew him, because he performed his
duty faithfully and loved his adopted country He
never took part in political wrangles nor sought
the emoluments of any Office To do his duty as
a citizen and attend to his own business were his
guiding principles through life His adherence
TO this motto won for his the respect of all who
knew him.
In his death, which was sudden and unex-
pected, those who knew Thomas B. O'Reilly have
lost true and fast friend, the state loyal citi-
zen and his wife faithful and devoted husband.
To all friends of the deceased The Intermountain
Catholic extends its sympathy, and especially to
his wife, sister and nephew, Mrs. Easily and
James j. Easily, who were the chief mourn
ers at his funeral. May his soul rest in peace
