FOURTH A NIVERSARY OF THE BLUE
CROSS SOCIETY, BETHESDA HALL,
FREDFRIKSTED.

1t is an old saying here III Santa Cruz that
no Society for GOOD lasts any length OF time;
vet, while we may have instances to illustrate
the correctness. Of this old saying, whenever
we see or boar Of the opening OF q new As
ISOLATION, we cannot but express a hope that
the new venture will not encounter the like
difficulties and mishops which attended the
oyerthroNing Of the former unfortunate
ones.
1t was a great pleasure to me to be pre-
sent at the celebration Of the Fourth Ami
verslry Of the Blue Cross Society held on
Sunday evenings last, when the glad hearts
Of the members were made still more glad
by the presence of the Venerable Archdea-
con Petersen from ST. Thomas.
Space will not permit me to give a detailed
account Of the evenings entertainment, but
for the sake Of the absent, I will just mon
ton a few Of the notable events OF the pro-
gramme. ,
AT 7.35 the Chairman, MIR. Creagh, opened
the service by the singing of a song from
tho we'll known Sacred Songs and Solos
after which he offered q prayer. Tins con

night. He presented his check,
but no where could the overcoat
be found, and he had to make the
journey home in the cold, grey
dawn, without the outer garment.
Next morning, while waiting at
the station for the north bound
passenger train, he told his hard
luck story. Among the passen-
gers who boarded the train was
James Mcleod, who drives the
delivery wagon at Lopez's. He
journeyed to Bismarck where he
met an acquaintance who told him
that he and another young man
had attended the festival at Gran
iteville the night before. He also
remarked that the young nan had
gone to Graniteville without an
overcoat but came back wearing a
fine one. Mcleod knew at once
what had become of Mr.. Rosen-
treter's overcoat, and he and his
friend went across the street and
tackled the young man, who i'm
mediately wilted and confessed
the theft, delivering up the coat
and the gloves. The young mans
name we did not learn, but his
home is said to be in Cadet, Wash
ington county. Mcleod brought
the stolen property back to IRON
ton that evening and delivered it
to MI. Rosentreter, who was most
agreeably surprised at the ecov-
cry.

Squirrels restaurant they went

were held up and robbed of a five

A very pretty wedding took
place here Sunday, at the resi-
dence of the BRIDES parents, Mr..
and Mrs. G. A. White. The con-
tracing parties were Miss Rena
White and Mr.. Chas. Good, an
efficient employee of the White &
Hummel Mfg. Co. The ceremony
took place at IL A. M, the oficiat-
ing clergyman being Rev. J. jan
uary, of this place, after which a
very elaborate dinner was served
to a very large number of relatives
and invited guests. Mr.. Chas.
White, Jr., brother of the bride,
acted as best man, and Miss Ethel
Parker as maid of honor. The
young couple were the recipients
of many valuable presents. Your
correspondent being of the male
persuasion, will not attempt to de-
scribe the ladies' costumes, but
will say they were all dressed as
befitted the occasion. The young
couple will continue to reside with
US, a new home lsoon to be built
for them.
Mr.. P. M. Davis and Mr.. Fl. w.
Hummel, Vice President and Sales
Manager, respectively, of the

to Jul tickets before getting on
their train, and in many cases the
travelling public has to secure
tickets between s o'clock and Ids
P. M. for train No. % north, and il
has to be agreeable with the agent
If you secure tickets at any old
time. There is not much accom-
mediation in the railroads or Their
agents any more; also they pro-
hibit the local freight from carry
ing passengers any more. That
is a great disadvantage to the bus
mess and travelling public at blind
stations. When you get in such
places as that you have to walk
or run out the best way you can.

"Uncle Toms Cabin" never

"Uncle Toms Cabin never
grows old. There runs through it
a vein of pathos peculiarly touch
ing and sweet. Like the kiss of a
child, it conquers by the very in
nocence of its breath. In the
character Of Eva it is unique. Who
does not cherish in memory some
sweet angelic child, who seemed
to touch this earth only as a
transient visitor, who passed away
with the dew of childhood's
morning, too good, too pure for
us? Was there ever a child like
Eva? Yes, but her name is writ
ten upon grave stones. This good
old play is unique because it is
the only one that portrays that
character. The scenery is excel
lent. In the river scene one secs
the floating cakes of ice moving
slowly down the stream. The
plantation scene depicts a typical
| southern home with it's cotton
fields, it's mansions and its log
cabins. The last scene in this
picturesque drama has iperhaps
taxed the skilled painter and me-
chanic more than any other spec
tacle that the stage can boast. 1t
is not flattery to say that "The
Beautiful Gates Ajar" as now
depicted by this company, is one
of the most enhancing spectacles
ever witnessed in this city. At
Ironton Friday, October 22d.
The Columbian Festival at
Graniteville on Tuesday night of
last week was largely attended.
Arcadia, Ironton, Pilot Knob and
Bismarck were represented, while
Graniteville and suburbs were
there almost en- masse. The dance
began at s o'colck aud went on
continuously until 1880 next morn
ing, interrupted only by supper
and the raffling of two or three
prizes. The supper, served at
Browns, was excellent and ex-
cellently served. All were given
the opportunity to partake of the
good things of the table, decorous-
" and without haste, although
several relays were required to
satisfy the happy, hungry uhrong.
| would like to tell of the prizes
and the winners, but our benef-
%icent, moral and parental postal
laws forbid. II goodness, and the
heaven said to be it's reward, may
be attained through statute and
"ruling," then indeed we can
consider our calling and election
sure. But | sometimes doubt that
goody-goodyness and goodness
are Of interchangeable value-but
there | go! S%pluttering sideways,
as is all too frequently the manner
Of advanced age. The Grandpa's
Orchestra furnished the music for
the dance, and, If one may Judge
by the incessant calls for its
strains, they we're not wholly
without foot-titillating merit. The
proceedings from start to finish
were marked with goodwill, good
order and enjoyment. The Cath
Ollie ladies Of Pilot Knob and
Graniteville, under whose man
agement the Festival was given,
may well rest satisfied with the
results Of their labor.
Our genial liveryman, Mr..
Rosentreter, attended the festival
at Graniteville Tuesday night of
last week. AS the evening was
cold he wore an overcoat--a brand
new one which he had just bought.
On reaching the hall, he checked
his overcoat, with a pair of gloves
in the pockets, and proceeded to
enjoy himself. Mr.. r. thought no
more about the coat until ready to
start home, some hours after mid

'LUNATIC BREAKS
OUT OF ASYLUM
Insane Patient With Mania for
Dynamiting Escapes at
Stockton
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

STOCKTON, Dec. I'm j. Nc
Cormick, an inmate of the state asylum
for the insane, escaped from that in
stitution tonight by breaking out of a
third story window. Mccormick is
considered a dangerous patient and the
authorities are working hard to cap
ture him.
The maniac was arrested in the
southern part of the state two months
ago for blowing up Santa Fe caboose.
He was found insane and sent to the
state asylum. Three weeks ago his
attorneys applied for his release
through ha beas corpus proceedings, but
the writ was denied.
Mccormick waited until his guards
had locked him up for the night in
his room on the third story and then
he worked at the bars of his cell until
he had loosened enough for the passage
of his body. After climbing through
the small space he managed to slide
down waterpipe to the first story and
then dropped 20 feet to the ground.
The officers fear he will do some
damage, as he is possessed of a mania
for blowing things up with dynamite.
