M. J. FAHY CO. "71 0 ARCH ST. ORPHAN GIRLS' ENTERTAINMENT.

Children From the Catholic Home Paly for the Institution's Benefit The Academy of Music was crowded from orchestra to "peanut gallery yesterday afternoon with a delightedly excited audience of children, present to witness the annual entertainment for the benefit of the Catholic Home for Orphan Girls, at 1720 Race street. In the evening a Rtmllnr crowd of "children of a larger growth manifested equal delight In a somewhat quieter fashion over the programme prepared for their entertainment. Archbishop Kyan had formally given his eon-Bent and approval for the entertainment, and bis presence in the evening still further demonstrated his sympathy with its object. There are at present in the home 215 little orphan pirls under tbe care of the Bisters of Bt, Joseph, ana the Increase of tbe work made an lncreitse in the receipts very desirable. The first part of the programme consisted ot kitchen exercises by the little girls from tbo home.

Half in pink and half In blue, with dainty mob-caps and snowy aprons, about fifty of these marched and auk, and explained and demonstrated tbe proper methods of arranging a room, conducting a family washing, setting a table, serving a dinner, and waiting on the door. It wound up with a "kitchen maid's frolic," In Which It wrh shown that household cares need not detract from tbe Joy of living. The stars of the performance were a class of babies from the kindergarten veritable sunbeams" who won the hearts of the audience simultaneously with their apoearance. Tbe Dramatic Club of tbe Enterprise Cath-ollo Literary Association also contributed largely to the entertainment. The second act of Boucicault's play, The whaughraun," was presented, with John F.

Skelly in the title role, and James J. Skelly, Robert J. McNaliy, Thomas J. Knowles, James O'Brien, James Dougherty, Thomas F. fckeliy, Miss Mary R.

Kennevan, Miss Nellie C. Skelly, MissSallie Keen an and Miss Mae E. Cody In tbe casU The third and fourth acts of "Hazel Klrke" followed, with practically the same cast. The entertainment was a decided Mucceae, both financially and artistically. BE WAS FROM TEXAS.

And tie Enid the Story Wm Good One tin til It Took a Personal Tarn From the Washington Post Tbe Texas Congressman usually has a shrewd perception ot humor. The delegation has a corner on half the good stories going, and can lay claim to several which have got away. A correspondent backed tbe dean of tbe delegation up In a corner the other day and told him the following tale "A friend of mine," said the correspondent, "came tip from Texas when tbe session opened, and as he expected to be here some time he looked around for a moderate-priced room, which he located In a nice neighborhood. A motherly old lady Bhowed him tbe room, which pleased him very much. As he was about to leave the room the asked him where he was irom.

'From Texap, "Well, let me show yon how this gas works. You turn It on so and put a match to It bo, and when you get through turn it off "'But I understand all about gaa. Wo have It at "Yes, but 1 have had a good deal of trouble with Texans about gas, and it doesn't do any barm to show you. Turn it on so and turn it off this way. Don't try to blow it out-' "But, protested my friend, you needn't go to all that trouble.

If It will relieve your mind any. I lived Id Chicago for six months before coming here. 4 You did, eh Well, I want yon to understand that this Is a respectable house, and I won't have any poker playing or drinking and carousing up "Haw, haw! laughed the Congressman, that Is one of the best tones I ever heard," and his Bides shook with laugnter. "But," said the correspondent, "the bovs are sending that story out to-night and saying that you are the Texan." The you say. Well, that is a pretty low down sort of a yarn to spin on anybody" grumbled the Congressman.

IS VKKY one baa better clmnca of ascending the social ladder thnn young girl," suid a innldcn in our prewneo tho other duy. "Tho wealthy mother of a family, If she is a nihil tout fur her children, can gain her end In time by acudlng her boys and girls to the best schools and instructing them that their acquaint ances mnt be only among thone whoso social position la Hsuun-d. (iiven plenty of money, a showy education and tho asAoclHtion ol really nice peoplu, they will surely get on. "The young married wnniau call likewise advnnea by inviting to her well-cooked, dtuutily-aerTcd dinnurs ttuch eligible as she recognizes aa helot toward tho consummation of her aims. Hho can i ntortahi, and without appearing to be forward or pushing can so in gratiate herself with tho really smart set that after a while no ono will dream that ahe is not one of tho genuine article herself.

"Take single girl, however, who nt IS or 10 realizrs that nor family do not move in the Tory best society, though alio Is tho only member of tho circle to rewgnizo that fact, and she will the hardest sort of a time in clin bing tho social ladder alone. I have seen lots of just such cases and I find that the lcst way to get on is to make yourself a favorite with the married women. Men ara all right and will come along in tho natural course of events, hut it is fatul to so-ciul hopes for a girl, no matter how pretty or attractive she may be, to entirely ignore her own sex at the outset of her career. Phc mutt be bright and gay and make herself in-dipensablu at dinners nnd house parties, and in that way, though hr family not move in those charmed circles in which she finally becomes a familiar figure, by her own pcrso-v unit) co she gains her point, but, ns I said at first, it means hard, very hard work." FEMININE SITEUST1TI0XS. Women Who Have Pet Manias A boat Various I.litle Things From the St Louis Ulobo-Democrat It Is exceedingly curious to notice how numerous as well as how varied are tbe pet superstitions of ladies who, on allothersubjocts, are perfectly sane and tree from mental vagaries of every kind.

Not long since ayoung lady was seen walking on Olive street When approaching two or more women she would go toward the wall or approach the curbstone; when two more men approached she would. In such ciutus as tbe act seemed not to Involve rudeness, walk between tbem. She had a superstition, which Is shared by many of her sex, that while It Is good luck to separate two men, It is bad luck to part a couple of women. Strange as this fancy may seem, it Is entertained by not a few ladles, one of whom Is very fond of citing a case In which a piece of bad fortune occurred to herself after walk In r- between two women who were going in tbe opposite direction. "I knew it would be bad luck, but tbe sidewalk was slippery on the outside and I was afraid I should fall down, so I walked between them, and In less than two weeks there was another sleet and I fell down on the ice and was most terribly bruised "an accident which, of course, could be attributable to nothing else than having separated tbe two women on the pavement a fortnight before.

Another latiy 1n this city is afraid to walk under a leaning ladder, not irom any special fear that It may tall, but simply becuuse It means bad luck, there- being a tradition which bad come to her ears of another lady in the western part of the city who lost her hushand a few weeks after walking under a ladder which stood atrnlnst her bouse. Ladles who are afraid to behold the new moon over the left shoulder aru very numerous that Is certain bad luck. An Instance is given of one case of a lady In this city who looked at ttie new moon over her left shoulder before she thought of what she was doing, SATIN TEA GOWN. A dainty negligee In black satin, with front of canary cbiifon. The fichu and deep ruffles at the wrists are of creamy net studded with jets.

and two days later her husband lost his position and was out of work for six months, which, of course, was directly due to her carelessness. Another St Louis lady, when she sees the new moon, always shakes her purse at it, thus Beeurlng good luck in monetary affairs as long as that moon lusts. Others will not read epitaphs for fear of losing their memory; none of tbem like to hear dogs howl, but one at least Is able to counteract the malign Influence of the uncanny sound by taking oif her shoe and spitting in it. Ladles who carry slips of paper or bits of parchment which have had certain characters written upon them by gypsy women are numerous, these charniH being effective to preserve the wearer irom harm when tbe fiarchment slips are placed in the bosom or the pocket-book while repeating a formula of gypsy Jargon, though if this be forgotten the Lord's Prayer will answer the purpose OUR CORRESPONDENTS A Constant Rkadeil The hair coloring which was mentioned as being harmless was given in answers to correspondents Tuesday morning, October 81; in staling that it appeared on Wednesday we made a mistake. Perplexed.

The best course tor a young woman to follow who Intends adopting tbe stage as a profession it she cannot go to a school of acting is to make herself proficient In such parts as she deem a suitable to her ability, and when the time comes for her to prove herself proficient before a manager this sort' of study will undoubtedly aid her in obtaining a position. We have answered this question before, whet her to "Perplexed" or not we cannot say. 3.

A little fold of black velvet ending in a rosette in the back would be a pretty finish for the edge of the waist 2. The plaid goods needs only the mostBlmple trimming. The skirt could be finished with two narrow and very scant ruffles set on In deep points.

IgObSIuih 10121014 CHESTNUT ST. AN ENGLISH CLERGYMAN. He Has to Appear as a Gentleman on a Salary of a Guinea a Week. From the London Telegraph.

Recruits from Nonconformist pulpits to the Church or England are likely to lessen in number If their lines do not full in pleasanter places than those of the Rev. W. I. Hillter, vicar of' at. Luke's, Sheffield, who Is now passing through the Bankruptcy Court.

Originally a Baptist minister at Exeter, Mr. Hil-lier came for a brief period to the front as one of the many champions of the faith against Mr. Charles Brad laugh, and, through circumstances arising Irom the controversy, he determined to leave the Baptist denomination, and seek orders In the Church of England. During the two years devoted to preparatory study he had no income whatever for the support of himself and family, and bad to borrow money, the result being that when appointed live years ago to the vicarage of St. Luke's he was over 200 In debt.

Unfortunately his position wns not bettered at Bhef- field, for he only enjoved two-thirds of the value of the living (200), and getting at last Into the hands of money-lenders, he has been landed In bankruptcy. The statement was made in court by his solicitor, and indorsed by the Official Receiver, that the reverend gentleman's net income had latterly been about a guinea a week, on which even a laborer finds it difficult to make both and meet.

The Man Once Had a Presentiment, Bnt It Had Bern Knocked Out or film. From tbe Detroit Free Proas. "The other day," remarked the drummer pleasantly, "as I was coming through Indiana, a man got on the train and took a seat beside me. He was minus a leg, an arm and an ear, and he had scars enoutrb on his head and face to please a veteran of many wars. In fact, he was such a battered specimen that 1 couldn't help looking at him curiously, and be noticed It, "That's all be said, smiling, I may have the symptoms, but I'm not reaching out for a "You look as if yon ought to have aid 'what the matter? How did It "I was one of the presentiment be laughed, 'and had a notion that I was going to be kilted In a railroad accident.

Tbey were happening all around the country, aud every time I picked up a newspaper I had a fit of the shivers. It got so bad at last that I sold out in town and bought a place thirty miles from tbe sound of a locomotive whistle, and settled down to enjoy myself ana die a natural death. After a munthor two I found it necessary to have a horse and wagon lor my driving, and I hadn't had it more than a month till the horse run off one day, spLlied me out, and when I came to the doctors had my leg off, and they thought they could save my life. They were right about It, and when I eot well enough I concluded I'd try burse backing awhile. It was awkward at first, but I got used to It, and then one day the horse shied, and I went off and smashed my arm, so I had to send it on to join the leg I'd lost.

I quit after that and went to walking, and oue morning I was caught on tbe road by a runaway team, knocked down and drugged for about ten miles, it seemed to me; but 1 guess It wasn't more than five. Anyhow, It was enough to break seven ribs, sculp me. clip off au ear and scrape half the skin off me, down to the bone. They thought i was a goner tills time, sure, but I fooled 'em and got well, and as soon as convenient I sold that place, moved back to town, and now every time 1 want to feel real safe I get on the cars and enjoy myself. I've been at it four years next month and ain't had a scratch "And you are not afraid any more? I asked, laughing.

'Not a he said. It does me good, and I believe if I had a pass and could ride all tbe time, this leg and arm would grow out. again ns good as new if I don't, I'm a sucker. Hut I've got to get off at the next station. I hat! only spare cash enough to buy a round-trip ticket for fifteen miles.

It Came With Ills H'otJier-tn-l-nw and It Broke III All Up. From tbe Detroit Free Press. The old woman's right," he said, sadly, as be sat down on a truck on the station platform and dangled a battered tape measure. "Who's right?" asked the station agent My mother-in-law.

She 'lowed she couldn't get through a cur door, so 1 drove nineteen miles over here 'With the old woman's tape line, and sized up the door myself." "Well?" "She's right Four-foot woman, three-foot door." "Reckon we could squeeze her In?" suggested the station agent, sympathetically. Squeeze?" Great day'n morn in'! Squeeze? There ain't nothin' In the Htate of Michigan could squeeze that woman but a house a-ilre or an earthquake. "I've heard of motbertt-tn-law," continued tbe man with tbe tape-line, dejectedly, "but I never heard tell of one that growed to a man before." Your'B that kind?" asked the agent. "You bet she is.

The unfortunate son-in-law didn't answer. He folded up the tape line and put It In his pocket, and, alter a moment's pause, he said, resignedly "Reckon I'll move along.

I'd kinder like to get borne before dark, because 11 tbe old woman misses this tape line like as not she'll bust tbe clapboards off tbe kitchen if she rares around lookin' for it" The Blllvltle Banner. From tbe Atlanta Constitution. We accomplished the great feat of taking one umbrella to Chicago and bringing it back. It didn't rain there for a week. The railroad ties between Chicago and Kankakee are a great deal smoother than many of the same in the South.

It is a wonderful provision of nature. A New York man told ns that Chicago was an overgrown village, and that must be the case, as we did not see any checker playing before any of tbe grocery stores.

About an hour before we reached Buckhorn Bend an old man came Into the smoker and asked tbe balf-dozen occupants if any were to ret off at that place.

ABOUT CHAMPAGNE. There Would Not be Enongh to Go Itonnd Without tho Bogus St off. From the New York Commercial Advertiser. It Is known that the champagne country does not produce anything like the quantity of wine that Is required for fhe annual con sumption in Europe, let alone America.

What is wanted Is Imported Into the district from other parts of France and there doc tored. All champagne gets a dose of syrup and other Ingredients before being finally corked, wired, tinseled and packed Incases. None but the highest priced brands nowadays are genuine. If you want the real article, the best thing to do Is to buy It on tbe spot of a firm that has only one price and one brand. Tbey exist, but are few In number.

Some persons suppose that white wine, and consequently champagne, is made from wblte grapes only. This is an error. Of course It Is made from them, but. as a mutter ot fact, the great bulk of white wine comes from the pur ple fruit. When white wine is wanted the juice Is drawn off from the butt aim out as soon as It has been trodden out of the grapes, while to produce red wine the sklnsand stalks must be allowed to soak for a time in the generous liquor.

They give the color. New wine just out of press ts of a light orange tint and is a delicious beverage, but dreadfully treucherous. Out ol the refuse when all tbe lulce has been drawn off the French make a capital eau da vie of a light brown color, which they call eau de vie de marc. Connoisseurs prefer it to orunuy, except wnen me miter in 01 me first brand. Hureundv is the creut nlace for 1U It rarely finds its way to England.

I wore a jewel on my breast, Nor knew, till late, that it was such; Oft hath It robbed me of my rest Oft bave I shivered at Its touch. I wore it trembling, and I knew Not why it was, in fact, nor how Its presence fell like evenlngdew On shrinking heart and lip, and brow.

It was a thing of pain, and yet A subtle blessing seemed to flow From 'neatb Its touch, though eyes were wet As from the stab of ruthless roe I Not until years bad fled, did I Behold tbe inner presence there; Not nntil time had passed all by, Did I perceive its beauty fair I But now I know tbee as tbon art, face divine I that look est down Upon my life and bruised heart And fear of thee fore'er hath flown Tbon wilt walk with me, well I know, For tbe brief span of years to be; A pathway new to me thou' it show here, sorrow wins me purity. Attractive Oownm and Dainty Novelties Noted on the Run. AST evening I attended the most unique entertainment, a sort of composite affair, where the guests were ex pected to prepare tho dishes on the menu, each one being told otf to their particular piece de resistance. It was laughable- to seo the smart, wetl-sroomcd women and iJ swell men in evoning attire envuiopea 10 meir necKS in huge aprons, each one intent upon the mystery of chafing dishes or salad dressings. The spot chosen for this Bohemian revel was a little club house on the banks of the Schuylkill, for no ordinary tin de eieclo man sion would have been in accordance with the unconventional repast that was prepared in the great roomy kitchen.

Xita's husband distinguished himself by setting forth a most delicious endive salad in true German style, garnished with bits of bacon, nnd to my de light and astonishment my husband proved quite as capable in making delicious little three-cornered watercress sandwiches, which were heartily approved by the whole company. Until, you attend one of these sociable functions you can form no idea of the amount of fun to be derived therefrom. I am going to give a small card party in the near future and am now on a still hunt for novelties in the way of prizes, as almost everything in that line is so hackneyed that it makes it very difficult to get anything pretty that has not already been made tbe reward of sundry victorious card players. I think I will bave a silver purse for the first ladies' prize and a boudoir lamp for the second. The men are the hardest to please, but I do not think any of them will object to an ebony clothes brush decorated in fine silver tracery; the second prize being no less ac- ceptablo I hope, as I have chosen a moire fob ribbon with a real gold buckle.

I have been gadding about so much lately that I must stay at home to-day and give my house some attention, for there are yet two rooms to be dressed np in winter attire, and even young housekeepers know that the very best ser vants cannot arrange things just as they would like to have them. Therefore for one long day it will be all work aud no play. JUST A LITTLE MISTAKE. He Thought the Big Golden Statue of the Kepnbllo Was Mrs. Columbus.

From the Chicago Tribune, Two men, Intelligent so far as appearances Indicated, and not attired In the hand-me- down habit which can never be disguised were discussing the Fair. One of them said It was a little remarkable that the Board of Lady Managers In their admiration lor their sex, including themselves, had, so far as he knew, said nothing about tbe wife of Christo pher Columbus, had done nothing to rescue her name or honor it He confessed, did this critic that be knew nothtngabout the history of the wife of the Admiral of the Ocean Seas, but she was Mrs. Columbus Just the same, and unless she had done something to fori it her claim she should have had bo me sort of recognition, wis rnend replied that while the Board of Lady Managers might have neglected the woman under discussion the general directory had not and be was surprised that the first speaker should have overlooked the magnificent bronze statue erected to her memory in the basin. Tbe first speaker said he had understood that was the Statue of the Republic His friend replied In all earnestness "Maybe you are right, but on the opening of the Fair one of the gospel chariot shovers tissured me the statue was that of Mrs. Columbus, aud I have believed It and repeated it to a large number of my friends, who have never contradicted me.

I suppose," be added rnther mournfully, "I have been fooled on a good many things this summer. I suppose some one will tell me some of these days that that gondolier to whom I gave a silver dollar to sing me a Venetian song Is the proprietor of a Junk shop on South Clark street" "iou mean that fellow whom you bribed to sing for me?" Yes, come to think of It, the same wretch." I meant to bave told you that he has tinware to mend on Milwaukee avenue." Then they changed the conversation to the repeal of the Sherman silver bllL Shelling Beans. From the New York World. In shelling beans take off the green ends, and when washed drain tbem in a colander put them into a pan with plenty of boiling water, adding salt; boil them till tender; drain in a oolander and serve with parsley sauce. When beans are grown large, but not meally, boll and blanch them; have readv white sauco, made hot; put In the beans and Just beat them through In ltand serve immediately.
