The Box Party.

The Federal court room was {
scene of unusual enjoyment last ev
ening, when the Kings Daughter.
entertained with a unique junction
known as a Box Party. The large
room was handsomely decorated
with flags, while divans, sofa pill
lows, pretty lamps, and flowers all
lent beauty to the hall, which
scarcely knew itself in such gay at
tire, being so wonted to scenes OF a
sterner nature. The wide corridor,
leading to the court room was oc-
cupied by tables where ice cream
and cake were served. At the en-
trance, lemonade was sold, from a
prettily arranged stand. Inside were
the booths of beautifully decorated
boxes, whose contents were a secret
until sold. Each was marked with
the exact value of its contents. They
proved a great attraction and sold
fast. Great fun was occasioned on
their being opened by the purchas-
ers. Some were found to contain
delicious homemade bOn-bons and
others dainty articles made by the
skilful fingers of the young ladies
of the Kings Daughters, besides
many useful and pretty things.
Pretty little flower girls sold but
ton-hole bouquets, and two grab
bags furnished amusement for the
children. Another interesting fea-
ture was the fortune telling, tent
being pitched inside the judges
bench, and occupied by a young
lady in gypsy costume who told
fortunes at so much per. Delight
full music was furnished throughout
the evening by a fine band. Alto
gether 1t was a great success, which
the ladies well deserved, as one and
all had worked hard to make it so.
The amount realized has not been
learned, but will be reported later.

STORMY CONVENTION
HELD IN BALTIMORE
Maryland Republicans Finally
Name Their Ticket.

State convention named the following
ticket: For governor. Stevenson Archer

neighboring saloons, and before the con-
vention reassembled there were fist

While Senator McComas controlled the
convention. he was not present Sidney
E. Mudd. the Fifth district Congress-
