they were to apply for admission. Up
on entering they were met by Mrs.
Johnson, who gave them feast of
reason and flow of SOUL" and after
ward ushered them into the dining
a'oom, where a Barmecedian feast was
served by all the ladies OF the defeat
people it might be stated that this
was a feast with empty dishes, glasses
and bottles, and while the repast was
light and easily digestible, the flow
of wit was steady and carried with
it many bright flashes. Thereafter the
guests were led into darkened room
and served Nectar of the Gods" by
Grecian goddess in full costume,
Mrs. J. w. Thomas. This proved to be
the heaviest article OF the feast, arte-
sian water.
The mock feast over, the guests
were taken through a dark passage
way, and with the conversation all
in Shakespearean quotations, they
were secured passage across the riv-
er Styx. All the guests were blind
folded and taken from the house, out
of doors, several blocks in a winding
direction, up stairs, down stairs, ar
ound and through various apartments,
and when blindfolds were removed
they found themselves in an elegant
ly appointed dining room with a
sumptuous repast awaiting them.
They were at the home of Mrs A
Pruit, and here Mrs. w. A Johnson
made the address of welcome and
the losing members served a feast
fit for the gods, six courses following
each other through happy after
noon. After the feast, each of the los
ers present answered to a toast, as
follows:
ITO the Victors," Mrs Peacock.
1'To the Defeated Hostess" Mrs.
Pruit
tsThe New Members" Mrs Wilson,
'tOur Girls" Miss Hedgcoxe.
''The Absent Ones" Mrs. Hill.
''The Also Rams" Mrs. Norvell

many bright and witty speeches be-
ing made. 1t was an affair long to be

ing, Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was
called to the stand to repeat her story
of a year ago. District Attorney Je-
rome Immediately renewed his mo-
tion that the public and the press be
excluded, but the court overruled the
motion. Mrs. Thaw then began the
recital of the story of her experiences
with Stanford White, as she told it
to Thaw in Paris in 1903 when he
asked her to become his wife. Jerome
claring that the recital of conversa-
tion that occurred years before the
homicide could have nothing to do
with the insanity of the defendant at
overruled, and Mrs. Thaw resumed
her story, which was substantially the
same as that she told on the stand
last year. Jerome constantly objected
when it seemed to him that the wit
ness was transgressing, and t1is caus-
ed Justice Bowling to rule that she
must first tell all she remembered of
the conversation without questioning
from counsel, unless it appeared that
the witness had forgotten any of the
details, when her attention might be
called to them. The witness then con
ti1ued her story and told of the ac-
tionS of Tnaw when she recited to
him the story of her shame.
Attorney Littleton sought to get
the story of her early life before the
jury, but objection by Jerome was
sustained. Littleton argued that the
early life of the witness had a great
deal to do with impressing Thaw
with the truth of her story and thus
had a direct effect as to inducing his
insanity. Upon this representation, the
judge reversed his former ruling and
allowed the witness to proceed.
District Attorney Jerome began his
cross examination of Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw at 3:05 this afternoon.

en-. know of a number of cases that
have been relieved by other churches

the general public. Besides the relief

call my attention to cases of need
where the Baptist people can assist.
I am strongly in favor of an asso-
ciated board of charity through which
all the affiliated bodies could do their
relief work. One of the reasons why
favor it is that it would save the
business men and Office men of ali
kinds from imposition by street pad
help for all sorts of distress, and who
never make any account of the mon
ey received. The merchants and 9TH
ers, instead of making promiscuous
donations, could refer each case of
this kind to the Charity Board, who
would keep an accurate account of
all moneys received and expended
and investigate each case for which
aid is sought. In fact, I suspect that
the first suggestion made for such
an organization came to some of the
ministers through me from a Roswell
business man some months ago. He
requested me to speak to the minis
ters about it and 1 did speak to Bro
ther Smith and other ministers con
cerning this suggestion of the bust
ness man.
In addition to saving the business
and professional men from imposition
such board would insure the relief
of. every case of real need and would
unite the community in noble cause.

In the case of the destitute family
several times in this paper, DIR. c. E.
Lul1ens, superintendent of the Chill
dren's Home Society, whose attention
was called to the matter of the three
little children in the home, has asked
that the following report be published
by the Record:
Three of the ministers of the city
having spoken to me about the sad
case of destitution and sickness on
Third street east of the railway, in
company with Rev. Mr.. Lonberg, l
called Saturday at the home and
found the conditions as follows: Five
months ago the father and mother
came here from Arkansas, bringing
their three children, aged two, four
and six, the oldest being a girl. The
mother had tuberculosis. The family
has been living in abject poverty,
lately subsisting wholly On the chart
ty of kind-hearted people. The condi-
tion of the home has been deplora-
BILE. The mother, confined to her bed,
has been unable to care for herself
and her children or do anything to
keep the shanty in which they lived
in order. The city physician, who has
been giving careful attention to the
case of the mother, reports that moth
ing can be done for her. The little
ones are bright and pretty, and to

Eve found that the family has rela-
tives in Arkansas who would be glad
to help them if they could return, and
who would be able to give the chill
dren a home where they could be
cared for by relatives. The dying mo-
ther wished to go home where she
could be with friends. 1t was arranged
with Mr.. Lonberg that he should see
that they were sent away on the train
Wednesday morning.
For the purpose of paying the
debts of the family, who could not
leave without making settlement, to
provide the tickets and other needs,
1 gave check for the amount needed
at once, and the family was instructed
to prepare for the journey.
"As the case was one which demand
ed a considerable expense for grown
scope of the Childrea's Home Society
work, and feeling that they would all
like to help, asked that yesterday at
the churches the various pastors ask
for an offering from their people to
help reimburse the Society for the
outlay, especially as we have had TO
care for a large number of children
here lately, and in other parts of the
territory, which had exhausted our
treasury.
The pastors and members of the
churches. who are always ready to re-
spond in cases of real need, made the
following offerings:
Baptist church, $500
First NJ E. Church, $500
Presbyterian church, $10.75
Methodist Church South. ss.40
Christian church. $1,000
The total amount called for was
$1,000
sThe response of the churches to
this call was generous, despite the
fact that many calls have been made
lately on each one.
