Convention, WHICH

The Spinsters' Convention, which
was given at Leader Hall last night
for the benefit of the Fifth Methodist
Church, came up to expectations In
every particular. The way in which
the young ladies acquitted themselves
in their respective parts deserves great
praise. The scene was a convention of
old maids. who, after saying every
thing possible derogatory to mere
man" and passing several resolutions
which were certainly not for the good
of the sex, finally heard of a town in
Alaska in which the male population
far outnumbered the female. This
caused a change in the sentiment of
the convention. In fact, 1t was about
to take the money from the treasury
and depart for that town. But for the
arrival of an inventor with machine
which could change people into any
form, the members would have done so,
Three Old Maids to Make Man.
The changes which We're made were
overwhelmingly funny. One wishing to
become man, it was discovered that
it took more than one old maid to
make a man, so three combined, and a
fair man was produced. One wished
to become an opera singer. The singer
appeared in the person of Miss hazel
Crooks, the ffteen-year-old daughter
of Chief Crooks, Of the Fire Depart
ment. She received the ovation OF the
evening. and responded to several en-
cores. A substantial sum was taken
in at the door.
