FOR AMUSEMENT SEEKERS. The Atractions Which Will Be Seen Here. The Spider and the Fly Burlesque Spectacle This Week. Ol* Olson at the Lo» An colas ?A Couple of Notable Musical Kvents?Gossip aad News About Theatrical People aad Matters. Another doll dramatic week has passed and now theater-goers can look forward to a season of leg drama and dialect comedy; the Spider and Fly and Ola Oleson being booked for this week at the Los Angeles theater. There has been some objection made to tho posters displayed by the Spider and Fly company, on the ground that they pictured too freely women's forms, untrammeled by drapery. It has even been suggested that the city council follow the example of San Diego's alder- men, and prohibit such bills. Such silly propositions are hardly worth taking seriously; if the bills ?hould be prohibited so should the per- formance. It it is injurious to peo- ple of high morality to look at a picture of a woman clad in little else than tights, it must be decidedly worse to al- low a living, capering, tight-clad female to posture on a stage. Laws and ordi- nances have little or nothing to do with \u25a0a people's moral point of view, and the average ordinance making councilman \u25a0knows aa much about the laws govern- ing advancement or retrogression in morals as he does about municipal gov- ernment in Persepoliß. Laws will not make a people any better than they want to be. The dancing girl started her undulat- ing career when the first grape vine waa planted, and daring all the ages Bines, the denouncements by clergy, the pro- hibitions of puritans and the penalties of Maine laws have had little or no de- torrent effect pn either. Both are large subjects; the dancing girl the largest of the two. As the problems connected with them have not been solved by all the thinkers and re- formers in the history of time, it is quite likely that the city council can paBS an ordinance that will at least settle the late of round-limbed, gauzily clad Terpsichore. Her ancestor did some high kicking before David, and her des- cendants will whirl their shapely legs as long as this old world revolves in space ?unless of conrse the council should pass an ordinance forbidding her appear- ance 1 not only on the bill boards but on the atage boards. Tbat would end her xareer. The tableaux in the National Pageant held the latter part of tbe week at the Los Angeles, illustrated charmingly the pleasant fact that the city can furnish aay number of beautiful young girls, whb, besides their personal attractions, are eminently graceful, and possessed of more or less dramatic ability. Miss Padgham's singing was most en- joyable. 8h has, thanks to Mr. Wood, her teacher, a most cultivated voice, en- tirely uninjured by its course of devel- opment. She also is possessed of a self- possession and presence which indicates that she would do well to enter some comic opera company if she wishes to become a professional. Announcements. M. B. Leavitt's new spectacular pro- doction, Spider and Fly, begins a four nights' engagement at the Lob Angeles theater tonight, with special matinee Wednesday afternoon. This successful spectacle is one of the .distinct novelties of the present season. iVhe costumes are said to be magnifi- cent, and the scenery, of which there is .a carload, is from the studio of Maeder & Ambrasterof New York. The trans- formation scene is said to be a master- piece of scenic art. The mechanical »nd electric effects are all new and novel. There are 60 people employed in the production. The principals include a number of European celebrities, and Several well known American artiste, the most prominent of which are Hilda Thomas, especially engaged for one of the leading parts; Lou Koyce, late prima donna of the Tar and Tartar com- pany; Jaguarina, the famous swords- woman ; Robert Bell, comedian; the Putnam twins, duettists and dancers; Ravel and Marettas, pantomimlsts; Rose Newman, excentriqne dancer; Edward Webb, comedian ; Fanny Putnam, vo- calist; Edward Smith, comedian; Zar- mo, the only upside-down juggler; Lou- ise Rice and Stella Madison, burlesque artistes; Elsa Saracca, premier dan- \u25a0euse, from the Alhambra, London, as- listed by the following imported dancers: Marion Wilson, Blanche Al- len, Sicilia Sydney, Bessie Stanton, Jen- nie Lippman, Clarice Middleton, Ada Bay, Nettle Heckler, Emma Lippman, Allie Ollyette, Ada Arnold, Syntax Syd- ney, Lizzie Ennis, May Massoney and Estelle Barton. Numerous features are added, one of the latest betngthe French suadrille, the sensation of the present Black Crook production in New York, Introduced by four lady excentric dancers, creating a furore wherever pre- sented. ?*? Without a question, Ole Olson, the Swedish dialect play which will be at tne Loa Angeles theater this week, has been one of tbe greatest successes the American stage nee ever known. It tomes here soon with a powerful, strong oast and trill undoubtedly prove one of the strongest attractions of the season. Inasmuch as the dialect of the stolid,im- perturbable Swede is both novel aud funny,and aa tbe incidents of the play are both hilarious and exciting, and as the piece is presented by the best farce com- pany now traveling, there is little doubt but what our play-goers will watch for the date of the performance. The new Park theater, formerly Hazard's pavilion, will present a strong attraction thia week in the Two Or- phans, which will be given on Monday night and continued every evening during the week, with a matinee on Saturday afternoon. Few plays have attained the popularity ol the Two Orphans, and jußtly so, ior it would be a hard heart indeed that is not touched by the trials and sorrows of Louise, tbe blind girl, and her loßter sister, Henri- ette, who are so cruelly separated in the streets of Paris. The'story ie of absorb- ing interest, and, being well known, needs no repetition here. New scenery ' has been painted, and the play will be placed upon the stage in a manner never beiore witnessed in this city. Tbe cast is a very strong one, embracing Miss Georgie Woodthorpe in the dual role oi Louise the blind girl and Sister Genevieve, Anita Fallon as Henriette, Millie Freeman bb Marianne, Alma Hhyrma as the Countess de Linieree. Fred Cooper, tbe genial manager, will make his first appearance as Pierre, the cripple; Frank C. Thompson will be the Chevalier de Beaudry, Arthur Sutherland the Count de Linieres, and J. K. Koberts the Jacques Frochard; the other characters by the company. Music Matters. The next Philharmonic concert of the admirable series under the direction of Mr. A. Stamm will be given at the Los Angeles theater on Monday evening, the 20th. f boss assisting will be Mrs. Modini- Wood, soprano; Mr. Modini-Wood, tenor, and Mr. Hardy E, Hamilton, vio- linist.

Richard Mansfield has a play by tbe first Lord Lytton, entitled Gentleman Waife, based on that gentleman's novel of What Will He Do With It? which will probably ne presented for the iirat time at the Grand opera house, Chicago. Little Baby McKee, the charming daughter of big, bluff and good-natured Frank McKee, is recovering from ber serious illness. Frank has one of the prettiest private residences in Harlem, and Baby McKee's room is a marvel of pretty things. Mr. Charles Hoyt is still at the State house in Concord, N. H., where he haß become a shining political light in tbe New Hampshire legislature, but be often drops in on his clever play "A Temperance Town," having a phenomenonally successful run in Bos- ton. John Drew's business in the big one- night stands lias been something beyond any possible anticipations. In Troy be played to $122:1, and in New Haven he drew a $1500 house. All through last week wherever Mr. Drew and his com- pany appeared, without any exception, it waß necessary to take out the orches- tra to make room for tbe throngs, which is a remarkable record for a new star, particularly in a year when the com- plaints of bad business are almost uni- versal. IvNew Orleans the other day Richard Mansfield was again attacked by the editors who seem determined to make his present season a lively one in a bus- iness sense. This law suit was brought by R. G. Schmidt, a resident of New York, his claim being the sum of $752.65 with interest from last April. Tbe Arnneone are in negotiation with James C. Dnff to produce with his company The Rainmaker of Syria and another opera which Mr. Duff has tried in the s/est. It is likely that these negotia- lions may come to a successful ißaue. Henry E.

It is said that his object in going abroad at this time of the year was to secure Brandon Thomas' new and successful comedy, Charley's Aunt, now running at the Royalty. Selena Fetter's fall in Friends is be- coming as famous as her fall in The Henrietta. Last week a coterie of well- known society girls in Denver enamored of her fall in Milton Royleß' play, got together with a view of trying to dis- cover whether it waa as easy as it look°d. It is only fair to Bay that the drug Btroes in the vicinity did a thriving business in Pond's Extract for several days. A novel suit baa been entered between J. Bernard Dyllyn, aa plaintiff, and Manager H. K. Jacobs, ac defendant. Mr. Dyllyn claima $10,000 damageß on the ground that Manager Jacobs has injured his standing by re- fusing to play companies of which Mr. Dyllyn may be a member. The plaintiff asserts that for this reason contracts with him were cancelled by Weber & Fields, C. F. McCarthy, W. A. Brady, J. D. Hopkins and other managers.

The chamber of commerce banquet committee met yesterday afternoon, there being present Massrß. E.F. C. Klokke, Eugene Germain, John Scott, Victor Ponet, J. IC Armstrong andE. A. Miller. The secretary wsb instructed to have the tickets printed and tbe notice pre- pared, to be sent to each member, giving the time, place, coßt, etc. It waß decided to have the special train, which is to convey members to Redondo, leave at 6:30 o'clock in the evening, returning to the city between 11 p. m. and 12 p. m. The secretary announced that the tickets would bs ready by Wednesday, and another meeting of the committee was called for that date at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The meeting then adjourned. It Took Tronble, but He Got It. About two or three months ago Ipur- chased from you a bottle of Chamber- lain's Cough Remedy, put up in D?s Moines, la.

Telephone 01. \u25a0Vncn Baby was sick, we save cer Cat tori*, when she waa a Child, she cried for Castorla- When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria. When she had Children, she gave them Castoria SOCIETY. The bonnet social given by the Beth- esda Sabbath school in the church, cor- ner East Ninth street and Central ave- nue, last Friday night, waa quite as suc- cessful financially as it was enjoyable otherwise. Notwithstanding the mud and tbe threatening aspect of the weather, tbe attendance was large, tbe announcement tbat a large and varied assortment of choice (?) millinery would be placed on exhibition during the evening bringing the ladies out in full force. The opening number on the pro- gramme was a song and chorus, Tele- phone in de Air. Then Helen I'arker, a sweet little tot of five years, told all about How to Make the Shoe in a song, which she rendered very nicely. The closing number was the Sunflower chorus, which was encored. Then a rush waß made for the millinery depart- ment, where the stock was being sold for cash. Ten cents was eufficient to furnish each gentleman with a bonnet and the necessary trimming. Then, while they were laboriously en- gaged in trying to evolve from the mass of ribbons, flowera, feathers, etc., femi- nine headgear aa dainty and beautiful as is often displayed in the' windows of our millinery stores, the ladies stood complacently by and enjoyed tbe fun. When the work was completed the re- sult in many cases, to say the least, waa startling, for some ol the bonnets were fearfully and wonderfully made. The ladiea, of course, wore these dainty (?) productions of masculine taste and skill to supper, which added to the iun, and was the cause of much good natared chaffing. The first pnza for the best trimmed bnnnet was awarded to Mr. Harry McStay, while Mr. Owen Case carried himself with becoming modesty when he waa awarded the booby prize. A good old-fashioned supper waa then s«tved, after which all went homo well pleased with the evening's fun. The reception tendered the students of Woodbury's BusineßS college by Prof, and Urn. Hough at their residence, 1131 Hill street, Wednesday evening, tbe Bth inst., waß a very enjoyable and enter- taining affair. Despite the damp weather'and bad roada, the etudentß were all present early and by 8 o'clock the beautiful parlors were full to over- flowing with a gathering of young ladies aud gentlemen, which for intelligance and refinement would grace any assem- bly. The opening number of a short and very pleasing programme was in- troduced by Prof. E. C. Wilson on the violin, accompanied by Mr. Stevenson on the piano, and elicited tbe applause which these gentlemen never fail to ex- cite. A pleasing selection on the piano by Miss Lawrence -shows this young lady to bo possessed of great talent. Next followed recitations by Mi6B Pearly GleaßOn and Prof. Hough, which were encored and gave much enjoyment. A novel feature of the evening was the distribution of numbered cards to the Indies and gentlemen, each to find his partner for refreshments by the number corresponding to his own, and the so- ciable stampede for partners which fol- lowed was very amusing. After ice cream and cake refreshments and just before dispersing, the rooma were darkened and a ilash-light photograph of all pres- ent was taken. Miss Mary Rohr gave a delightful party Tuesday night to a number of her friends at her home on Estrella avenue. The evening was pleasantly passed, playing various progressive games of cards. Handsome prizes were presented to the fortunate players. Those who attended were: Misseß L. Maulhardt, T. Ganahl, M. Engelbracht, A.Forthmann, A. Engelbracht. J. Keardon, E. Coates, D. Hovel, A. White, F. King. M. Rohr; Messrs. A. Maulhardt, W. C. Wolfe, A. T. White. F. Coates, J. A. King, J. Reardon, C. Engelbracht, C. Rohr, The Welsh residents of Los Angeles will give a concert in Y. M. C. A. hall Wednesday evening, March lßt, in honor of St. David, their patron saint. The programme will consist of instrumental mUßic and vocal selections in Welch and English. Mre. L. J. Llewellyn, con- tralto, and Mrs. M. E. Aver, soprano, will be the soloist? of the evening. This fact of itself Bhould serve to fill the auditorium with an appreciative au- dience. It is hoped there will be a good attendance. The executive committee of Company A, Seventh infantry N. G. C, com-, manded by Lieutenant Steere, have their plans all well in hand and antici- pate the largest and most brilliant party yet given by the guardsmen at their midwinter ball, which occurs on Friday evening next, the 17th instant. Prof. H. J. Kramer has joined the committee in its hard work and will personally di- rect the dancing novelties as well as lead tho grand march. Mr. W. H. Wil- son will manage calcium lights and me- chanical effects. The assembly will be sounded by the buglers at 8:30 sharp, when the grand march will begin, headed by the military in all the glory of their blue and gold, for they will be in extreme full dress. The march will be executed under the bright and changing colore of the cal- cium. The other novelties that will be given are a Moonlight waltz, a Sunlight waltz and a Starlightschottiache. A Shadows quadrille, under the clear, whita light of a powerful calcium. The Tempest gal- op will doubtless be the most novel of all. It carries out the idea of a passing thunder storm, tbe lights fading as the rolling thunder comes nearer and nearer; with a crash gaslight diaappeara and a semi-darkness of electric blue settles down; tbe music strikes up and the dancers whirl along to the accompani- ment of the lightning flash,rolling thun- der, driving rain and rising gale. So much interest has been manifested, and so many inquiries for adraiSßion cards made, that the invitation committee have concluded to receive at the armory applications for tickets up to next Wednesday. #** The event of the past week in the shape of receptions was that of the Ladies' Aid society of Itnmanuel church, on tbe jubilant occasion of having re- deemed the pledga they made three years ago when it wae first proposed to purchase a lot and erect a new church edifice. The society on that occasion pledged itself to raise $500\) to pay for the pews and all the interior furnishings of tbe church. Mra. J. J. Ayers, the president of tho society, aud Mrs. Dr. Saliebury, the former president, re- counted, in well-written papers, the his- tory of the great and successful struggle to raise the formidable sum, and Mre. Mathuas, the treasurer, read her report, showing where the money came from. After a succession of short and mirth- provoking speeches by several gentle- men, including Dr. W. J. Chichester, the pastor, tho whole assemblage was invited into the dining room where a great abundance and variety of tooth- some refreshments were served to the guoßts of the society, and a most happy time was spent for several hours. No notice of this reception would be com- plete without alluding to the beautiful and artistic manner in which the par- lora were decorated. The whole length of the wall behind the stand of the offi- cers was decorated with an appropriate text from the Bible, the letters all worked out with ami lax in a most clever manner. This striking and beautiful decoration was executed by Mrs. Hart- well. The other docorations were elab- orate and in moat exquisite taste. Tbe ladies were complimented on all hands for tbe great financial success they had achieved and the very handsome man- ner in which they celebrated its accom- plishment. n ** The reception tendered last evening in the high school building by the alumni to the winter graduating class of '93 was a complete success. The dec- orations were simple, and consisted of cardinal bunting, tbe graduating class colors, displayed to advantage about the corridors and stairwaya. A literary programme was given in the assembly room during the early part of the evening. The programme waa aa follows: Vocal solection?Mr. Miller. Address of welcome? w. E. Haas. Response?Ralph Day. Violin solo?W. A. Wltzel. \u25a0 Recitation?Mrs. Beebo. Vocal selection?Miss Josio Williams. Recitation-Mr. Wells. Cornet solo?Mr. Emmet S. P?ak.

The wide corridors of both the second and third floors were waxed and were used for dancing. *** Mrs. Sinclair of East Los Angeles en- tertained a number of young friends at her residence on Hanson street on Tues- day evening. The time was Bpent in gameß, singing and other amusements. Among those present were Mr. and Mrß. Sinclair, Mica Eliza Lockwood, Lottie Gomer, Eatella Eason, Annie Sholten, Meeere.

The Spider and the Fly BurlesqueSpectacle This Week.

Another doll dramatic week haspassed and now theater-goers can lookforward to a season of leg drama anddialect comedy; the Spider and Fly andOla Oleson being booked for this weekat the Los Angeles theater.

There has been some objection madeto tho posters displayed by the Spiderand Fly company, on the ground thatthey pictured too freely women's forms,untrammeled by drapery. Ithas evenbeen suggested that the city councilfollowthe example of San Diego's alder-men, and prohibit such bills.

Such silly propositions are hardlyworth taking seriously; if the bills?hould be prohibited so should the per-formance. It it is injurious to peo-ple of high morality to look at a pictureof a woman clad in little else thantights, it must be decidedly worse to al-lowa living, capering, tight-clad femaleto posture on a stage. Laws and ordi-nances have little or nothing to do with

\u25a0a people's moral point of view, and theaverage ordinance making councilman\u25a0knows aa much about the laws govern-ing advancement or retrogression inmorals as he does about municipal gov-ernment in Persepoliß. Laws will notmake a people any better than theywant to be.

The dancing girl started her undulat-ing career when the first grape vine waaplanted, and daring all the ages Bines,the denouncements by clergy, the pro-hibitions of puritans and the penaltiesof Maine laws have had little or no de-torrent effect pn either.

Both are large subjects; the dancinggirl the largest of the two. As theproblems connected with them have notbeen solved by all the thinkers and re-formers in the history of time, it is quitelikely that the city council can paBS anordinance that will at least settle thelate of round-limbed, gauzily cladTerpsichore. Her ancestor did somehigh kicking before David, and her des-cendants willwhirl their shapely legs aslong as this old world revolves in space?unless of conrse the council shouldpass an ordinance forbidding her appear-ance 1not only on the bill boards but onthe atage boards. Tbat would end herxareer.

The tableaux in the National Pageantheld the latter part of tbe week at theLos Angeles, illustrated charmingly thepleasant fact that the city can furnishaay number of beautiful young girls,whb, besides their personal attractions,are eminently graceful, and possessed ofmore or less dramatic ability.

Miss Padgham's singing was most en-joyable. 8h has, thanks to Mr. Wood,her teacher, a most cultivated voice, en-tirely uninjured by its course of devel-opment. She also is possessed of a self-possession and presence which indicatesthat she would do well to enter somecomic opera company if she wishes tobecome a professional.

Announcements.M. B. Leavitt's new spectacular pro-

doction, Spider and Fly, begins a fournights' engagement at the Lob Angeles

theater tonight, with special matineeWednesday afternoon.

?*?Without a question, Ole Olson, the

Swedish dialect play which will be attne Loa Angeles theater this week, hasbeen one of tbe greatest successes theAmerican stage nee ever known. Ittomes here soon with a powerful, strongoast and trillundoubtedly prove one of

the strongest attractions of the season.Inasmuch as the dialect of the stolid,im-perturbable Swede is both novel audfunny,and aa tbe incidents of the play areboth hilarious and exciting, and as thepiece is presented by the best farce com-pany now traveling, there is little doubtbut what our play-goers will watch forthe date of the performance.

The new Park theater, formerlyHazard's pavilion, will present a strong

attraction thia week in the Two Or-phans, which will be given on Mondaynight and continued every eveningduring the week, with a matinee onSaturday afternoon.

The'story ie of absorb-ing interest, and, being well known,needs no repetition here. New scenery

'has been painted, and the play will beplaced upon the stage in a mannernever beiore witnessed in this city. Tbecast is a very strong one, embracingMiss Georgie Woodthorpe in the dualrole oi Louise the blind girl and SisterGenevieve, Anita Fallon as Henriette,Millie Freeman bb Marianne, AlmaHhyrma as the Countess de Linieree.Fred Cooper, tbe genial manager, willmake his first appearance as Pierre, thecripple; Frank C.

SOCIETY.The bonnet social given by the Beth-

esda Sabbath school in the church, cor-ner East Ninth street and Central ave-nue, last Friday night, waa quite as suc-cessful financially as it was enjoyableotherwise. Notwithstanding the mudand tbe threatening aspect of theweather, tbe attendance was large, tbeannouncement tbat a large and variedassortment of choice (?) millinerywould be placed on exhibition duringthe evening bringing the ladies out infull force.

The opening number on the pro-gramme was a song and chorus, Tele-phone in de Air. Then Helen I'arker, asweet little tot of five years, told allabout How to Make the Shoe in a song,which she rendered very nicely. Theclosing number was the Sunflowerchorus, which was encored. Then arush waß made for the millinery depart-ment, where the stock was being soldfor cash. Ten cents was eufficient tofurnish each gentleman with a bonnetand the necessary trimming.

Then, while they were laboriously en-gaged in trying to evolve from the massof ribbons, flowera, feathers, etc., femi-nine headgear aa dainty and beautifulas is often displayed in the' windows ofour millinery stores, the ladies stoodcomplacently by and enjoyed tbe fun.When the work was completed the re-sult in many cases, to say the least, waastartling, for some ol the bonnets werefearfully and wonderfully made. Theladiea, of course, wore these dainty (?)productions of masculine taste and skillto supper, which added to the iun, andwas the cause of much good nataredchaffing. The first pnza for the besttrimmed bnnnet was awarded to Mr.Harry McStay, while Mr. Owen Casecarried himself with becoming modestywhen he waa awarded the booby prize.

A good old-fashioned supper waa thens«tved, after which all went homo wellpleased with the evening's fun.

The reception tendered the studentsof Woodbury's BusineßS college by Prof,and Urn. Hough at their residence, 1131Hill street, Wednesday evening, tbe Bthinst., waß a very enjoyable and enter-taining affair. Despite the dampweather'and bad roada, the etudentßwere all present early and by 8 o'clockthe beautiful parlors were full to over-flowing with a gathering of young ladiesaud gentlemen, which for intelliganceand refinement would grace any assem-bly. The opening number of a shortand very pleasing programme was in-troduced by Prof. E. C. Wilson on theviolin, accompanied by Mr. Stevensonon the piano, and elicited tbe applausewhich these gentlemen never fail to ex-cite. A pleasing selection on the pianoby Miss Lawrence -shows this younglady to bo possessed of great talent.Next followed recitations by Mi6B PearlyGleaßOn and Prof. Hough, which wereencored and gave much enjoyment.A novel feature of the evening was thedistribution of numbered cards to theIndies and gentlemen, each to find hispartner for refreshments by the numbercorresponding to his own, and the so-ciable stampede for partners which fol-lowed was very amusing. Afterice creamand cake refreshments and just beforedispersing, the rooma were darkenedand a ilash-light photograph of all pres-ent was taken.

Miss Mary Rohr gave a delightfulparty Tuesday night to a number ofherfriends at her home on Estrella avenue.The evening was pleasantly passed,playing various progressive games ofcards. Handsome prizes were presentedto the fortunate players. Those whoattended were: Misseß L. Maulhardt, T.Ganahl, M. Engelbracht, A.Forthmann,A. Engelbracht. J. Keardon, E. Coates,D. Hovel, A. White, F. King. M. Rohr;Messrs. A. Maulhardt, W. C. Wolfe, A.T. White. F. Coates, J. A. King, J.Reardon, C. Engelbracht, C. Rohr,

The Welsh residents of Los Angeleswill give a concert in Y. M. C. A. hallWednesday evening, March lßt, in honorof St. David, their patron saint. Theprogramme will consist of instrumentalmUßic and vocal selections in Welch andEnglish. Mre. L. J. Llewellyn, con-tralto, and Mrs. M. E. Aver, soprano,willbe the soloist? of the evening. Thisfact of itself Bhould serve to fill theauditorium with an appreciative au-dience. Itis hoped there willbe a goodattendance.

The executive committee of CompanyA, Seventh infantry N. G. C, com-,manded by Lieutenant Steere, havetheir plans all well in hand and antici-pate the largest and most brilliant partyyet given by the guardsmen at theirmidwinter ball, which occurs on Fridayevening next, the 17th instant. Prof.H. J. Kramer has joined the committeein its hard work and will personally di-rect the dancing novelties as well aslead tho grand march. Mr. W. H. Wil-son willmanage calcium lights and me-chanical effects.

The assembly willbe sounded by thebuglers at 8:30 sharp, when the grandmarch willbegin, headed by the militaryin all the glory of their blue and gold,for they will be in extreme full dress.The march willbe executed under the

bright and changing colore of the cal-cium.

The other novelties that will be givenare a Moonlight waltz, a Sunlight waltzand a Starlightschottiache. A Shadowsquadrille, under the clear, whita light ofa powerful calcium. The Tempest gal-op will doubtless be the most novel ofall. It carries out the idea of a passingthunder storm, tbe lights fading as therolling thunder comes nearer and nearer;with a crash gaslight diaappeara and asemi-darkness of electric blue settlesdown; tbe music strikes up and thedancers whirl along to the accompani-ment of the lightning flash,rolling thun-der, driving rain and rising gale. Somuch interest has been manifested, andso many inquiries for adraiSßion cardsmade, that the invitation committeehave concluded to receive at the armoryapplications for tickets up to nextWednesday.

#**The event of the past week in the

shape of receptions was that of theLadies' Aid society of Itnmanuel church,on tbe jubilant occasion of having re-deemed the pledga they made threeyears ago when it wae first proposed topurchase a lot and erect a new churchedifice. The society on that occasionpledged itself to raise $500\) to pay forthe pews and all the interior furnishingsof tbe church. Mra. J. J. Ayers, thepresident of tho society, aud Mrs. Dr.Saliebury, the former president, re-counted, in well-written papers, the his-tory of the great and successful struggleto raise the formidable sum, and Mre.Mathuas, the treasurer, read her report,showing where the money came from.After a succession of short and mirth-provoking speeches by several gentle-men, including Dr. W. J. Chichester,the pastor, tho whole assemblage wasinvited into the dining room where agreat abundance and variety of tooth-some refreshments were served to theguoßts of the society, and a most happytime was spent for several hours. Nonotice of this reception would be com-plete without alluding to the beautifuland artistic manner in which the par-lora were decorated. The whole lengthof the wall behind the stand of the offi-cers was decorated with an appropriatetext from the Bible, the letters allworked out with ami lax in a most clevermanner. This striking and beautifuldecoration was executed by Mrs. Hart-well. The other docorations were elab-orate and in moat exquisite taste. Tbeladies were complimented on all handsfor tbe great financial success they hadachieved and the very handsome man-ner in which they celebrated its accom-plishment.

n* *The reception tendered last evening

in the high school building by thealumni to the winter graduating class of'93 was a complete success. The dec-orations were simple, and consisted ofcardinal bunting, tbe graduating classcolors, displayed to advantage about thecorridors and stairwaya.
