One of the best home entertain
ments ever witnessed in this city was
the ''Kermis," given at the opera
house on Friday evening under the
auspices Of tie Young Ladies' Sodal-
ity of st. James church. The house
was we'll filled and when the curtain
rose At $50 O'Clock, one hundred and
fifty people, children and older ones
were o. the stage, representing the
different nations in appropriate cos
TUNES and forming most striking
tableau. There were fourteen dances,
each one being Characteristic of some
country. Every dance was performed
most pleasingly and the house was a
round of applause from start to finish.
The program concluded with "March
of the nations" which was most
graceful and spectacular. Lack of
| space forbidS a mention of each num-
Der; but, taken all together, there
was seemingly not break or hitch
to mar the evenings enjoyment, and
the entire program was flied with
life and action. The entertainment
was in charge of Mrs. Grace Palmer
! Pettee of Chicago, H., who was less
than three weeks training the children
and young people for the dances.
The young ladies of the Sodality
| realized the sum of $3.50 net, which will
be used for the pipe organ fund OF
| the new st. James church.
The tickets for the Charity ball,
which will be given ulder the auspices
of the Ladies' Auxiliary of st. Marys
hospital, Friday evening, November
29th, are in the hands of the men,
| bers and at Wiechmann'S Pharmacy.
! All indications point to as great a
success as the event given year ago.
Mrs. G. B. Bird, the president, with
| her corps of assistants, which includes
| every member of the Auxiliary, are
working hard to bring this result
|
the free bed last year, to whom free
attendance and medical attention was
given. The proceeds of this ball will
be devoted to the maintenance of the
| free bed in ST. Mary's hospital, to
which any deserving person irrespec-
tive of creed, color or sex-will be
| given the same careful attention and
| the same medical assistance as the
paying patient. The physicians on
| the hospital staff also give their SER
vices free. This is most worthy
charity and deserves the support of
| our citizens.
On Sunday afternoon in this city,
| Mr.. G. b. Ingersoll, of Port Washing
ton, Wis, and Miss Jane Nutter of
the town of Easton, in this county,
were united in marriage at the M. E.
parsonage, the Rev. Richard Evans,
pastor of the First M, E. church,
officiating. After the ceremony the
afternoon was spent with relatives in
the city and in the evening they de-
parted for their future home in Port
Washington, Wis. The contracting
parties are well known in the city and
! county. Mr.. Ingersoll has spent a
good deal of the time for the past
few years at the home of his son In
the town of Easton. The bride is a
daughter of Mrs. j. w. Nutter of
Easton, and she has always resided
at the Nutter home in that town.
