ley, OF the James. at Mr.. and Mrs. H. s.
Saunders's residence last evening, was q
fitting climax to the weeks festivity.
The heavy down-pour of rain that fell

makers began to put in their appearance,
and by P. A., the three musicians took
their places in the wide hall and after
a few moments of tuning up. the First
Violinist' called out "Pa6ners, TAX go
places fer de fus quadrille." It was
a. A., when the strains of Home. Sweet
Home" called attention to the fact that
the ball was over.

j. P. Snyder and Samuel Clark, Of Phil
adelphia, Pa; Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Will
COX, O. Rocky Mount, n. c.; Misses Car
ter, Clark Wilcox, Robins, Tpshur.

The Child's Birtllrlght.

Dr.. Hirsch has said many true things
In his sharp criticisms of social habits.
but nothing truer or more pertinent than
his statement in recent lecture that
mothers are making young ladies' Of lit
tie misses; there must be parties and
dances, and as result the children soon
have old faces and manners. "A child Is
entitled to be child, and should be
treated as such, The child that does
not have childhood. with child's pleas
ures, and sorrows as well who does not
know the enthusiasm, the zest. the hopes
and the eager looking forward of chill

the sense Of privation will grow stronger

TO have childhood and were not forced

thereby not only lose the happiest part o :

MAHER SAILS NEXT WEEK.
Returns From Adirondacks and Pre-
 DareS for Trin AhroaH

Returns From Adirondacks and Pre-
 pares for Trip Abroad.
 New York. Feb 2O.-Jockey Danny Maher returned yesterday from short trip to the Adirondacks and left last night for his home in Hartford, Ct. Maher looked in good health and was in fine spirits after his little vacation in the mountains. He was busy yes- terday making some purchases and preparing for his trip abroad. Maher will sail for England on the White Star liner Cedric on February "A, and at once take up the work of exercising the horses which. he will ride the com ing season.
 Maher has been tremendously sue cessful on the English turf, and is cas- fly the most popular American jockey who has ever ridden in that country. He is not more successful than was Tod Sloan at one period, but has pleased the English turfmen and pub- lie more than did Sloan by his quiet demeanor and good habits.

oldest Living Legis1ator.

FREDERICTON, N. B., Feb. 20.- Hon. David Wark, LLD., has entered upon the one hundredth year of his age, and he claims the distinction of being the oldest living legislator in the world. He is a member of the Cana dian senate, having been called to a seat in that body at the time of the confederation of all Canada. The sem ator has been longer in public life than any other legislator of the present day, having spent more than sixty one years in politics. He entered the New Bruns- wick legislature from Kent county in 1s42, served eight years as repre- sentative, then sixteen years in the legislative council, before becoming a senator. He was at one time receiver general of New Brunswick. Senator Wark is in excellent health.
