interest in the South Carolina colony here
in Washington.
Miss Dugas is young woman of ac-

popular as the granddaughter of Governor

Butler. and has many admirers and
friends. Her father was native of Au-

Mr.. Tillman is the eldest son OF Sem

YOUNG SOCIETY WOMEN
APPEAR IN MALE ATTIRE.
Jackson. Mich. Said To lie Re-
spOnsiblc for Masquerade.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
jackson. Mich, Dec 13.-YOung women
of this city have taken up 4 strange fad.
that of appearing in male attire at social
functions. These parties are called girls
stag parties. and are attended by from
forty-flve to fifty young women. Many
of the gatherings take place at private
homes. but large number are held in
large halls in the city. and are meetings
of Importance. Some of the best known
young women here attend the functions,
and they are confined to no part of the
city nor to any class of society. Just what
has made this mode of attire fashionable
among the young women has not been
discovered.
One reason advanced is that there is n
scarcity of young men. The majority of
youths leave town for college or for the
big cities. where they find employment
and the young women are left at home.
Last week there was a stag party of this
sort which was attended by about dozen
young women, who. after they had en-
joyed the evening. were photographed In
their ODD attire. One of the features of
the fad is to have fashliSht pictures
taken as souvenirs Of each occasion, and
then kept by participants as precious
mementos of happy gatherings. 1t is
agreed among the members that the
photograph must not become public
property. These parties are only given
during the winter months.

PLANS TO REDUCE
ST. JOHNS DEBT.
Walnut Street School Property
May Be Sold and New Build
ing Erected.
PENSIONERS TO MEET:
Father Cotfey Asks That No Tes-
timOnial or Purse Be Pre-
sented to Him When
He Leaves Church.

The Reverend Father Coffey hopes to
leave ST. Johns Church the first of jan
uary with the way practically clear for
the canceling of the parish's Indebtedness.
In the sermon he preached at yesterday
mornings II o'clock mass he told of a
plan to sell the school property at Fiji
teenth and Walnut streets.
1t is thought that the money realized
from an advantageous sale will be SUI
ficient to erect new school and materi-
ally decrease the debt, which now
amounts to about $4,000.
If the Walnut street property can be
sold. the sodality hall adjoining st.
Johns Church on the Sixteenth street
side will be removed and the new school
building erected on the lot.
The old school was erected during Arch
bishop Ryan's pastorate at St. Johns
Church. 1t is now much larger than
necessary. and the locality is not the
most desirable. Improved facilities are
needed. and these can be gained by the
building of new school,

OF having been assigned to the pastorate
OF st. Leo's Church. and said that he
was not deserving st. Johns Church;

continue their interest in the church. and
their benevolences. which. during Father
Coffey's pastorate, have reduced, the debt
more than $4,000.
He also said that he wished no demon-
