It Is a now society, and the charity ball which It gave last night was Its first balL It was a Vrllllant and successful affair In splto ot snow and cold and wind. Dr. liamon L.

Miranda is Its president, nnd It has for Its objects the relief ot tbo needy poor and destitute sick ot tlio Spanish-American Republics who HTU In this city. Tho ball was given to establish a sanitarium. Eight hundred people wero In the brilliant hall. In the centre was tbe shield of Venezuela, tho oldest of tho Spanish-American republics, with the llags of tbo other republics about It. Along the upper tier of boxes were banners ot silk und satin, dazzling green, soft blue, brilliant red, flaming yellow and royal purple.

There was no Spanish nag to bo seen. Tho beautiful decorations formed merely a ImoKgrouna for the lovely women In tbelr exquisite gowns. Tbo ball'was fashionably late In getting started. It was 11 o'clock when Dr. Miranda, tho President, led tbe grand march with Miss Agnus Springer, sister ot the United (States vice-consul to Havana.

There woro many consuls at the ball. Theso wero the box-holders: A king and queen were carried In triumph on canopied litters at tho head of the grand march. The prince ot tho evening, however, was M. Jules Helmut, manager ut tbo floor, wbn led tho march wltb his handsome wile leaning on his arm. After tho sovereigns, with tnelr 2UO attendant costumed courtiers, made tho circle ot the hall, the king and queen were enthroned and I tbe quadrille (lancers.

They came Irom K03ter Dial's, and their tilth-kicking, long-leaping, pranclng.spllltlng Canto never had more appreciative or moro emulative audience. Tho de sli'de quadrille of theso artists was taken as a gentle hint of what was considered tbo correct, form on the Door, and as tbo morning hours begun to wear the professional dancers bud cause for envy.

liar- nett's representative yesterday, Just as wo would any other to bo sold on commission. When It was put up at tbo Iteal Estate Kx- change and knocked doivn to J. Sydney Goldsmith ou a bid of it was our business to accept the offer and we there and then closed tbe, transaction as far as the purposes ot the deposit with us was concerned. Mr. uoldamlth was bidding for Hotohklss Co.

and as ho was biinply their agent wo do not look to him for payment. Tbe notice served upon us by Charles P. James as a reputed ownor of tho stooK was not worth tbe Ink with which It was written. An Injunction, It served at that time, would bave stopped tho sale. Now, however, wo shall look to Hotcbklss for our commissions, which toot up to about it tliey nro not palu alter a proper interval we shall probably sue tor them.

The stocks are In our possession and will, of course, remain with us until paid lor." Mr. Goldsmith was soen at the Equitable Building, lie said that he bad been deterred Irom paying for tbe I'orto Kleotrlo stock by Ilia counsel, ex-Judge Ulttenhoeter, who said he would prepare at) opinion on tho legality of the whole transaction, which may show something of James's rlirnt, and title In the'stock sold last Tuesday.

NEGROES OWN $264,000,000. Nineteenth Century Club Enlightened to (lie Colored Knee. Tho topic before tlie Nineteenth Century Club at Sherry's last night was Future ot tho Colored liacc In tlie SoutU." It was discussed by tho Kev. Joseph C. Price, of Livingston College, full-blooded nozm, very black, wltb bright eyes, an easy manner and an expression of hijh Intelligence.

He wai born a slave nail gut an education through bis own efforts, llo spoke before people man; of whoso ancestors owned slaves. lie was frequently and liberally applauded. It was conceded that nilly deserved the recognition given bis ability. Mr. J'rlcc's argument contained a number of now points, which President Doming, of the club, remarked oiiirhi to bo more widely known boih North and smith.

Tbu prejudice ot the country was ma against, tbo tutor of the negr), but lil.i condition, Ms character. 11 was hundred times tetter to ulva dignity and prvsllvo to color by elevating nnd developing ctmnicUT, by changing Ignorance) to eiilUhtcnnicni, Immorality to morality, poverty to wealth. A ci eat. cloint'iit lit tho solution or tin: proulem wuuld bo the or thu colored vote. It had Loon aptly said that, the negroes looked to Washington tor the redress ot their wrongs when they should have looked to their own stute LcKlalutures.

It was not necessary to niafcn new laws for the negro's benem. but to ehlorco the existing laws for wnitu and black alike. Trice showed that tin; ntitioes In this country owned JUtH.otio.oou ot property, nnd It was not left to them rich ancestors either. This sally urouirnt out amused laughter and applause Irom the audience, many of whom nudged their in significant way. Among iho.iu present were Sirs.
