Tem. GEAND MASQUE BALL, The Frohilnn Singing Sooiety Gave One Last Bight. The twentieth annual grand masque ball of the Frobsinn society was held in the East Side theatre last evening. It waa a success and surpassed any previous function of its kind ever held by the organization. At 8 o'clock the hall began to fill with eight-seers aud those who came to take an active part in the affair.

It waa 8 15 o'clock when those masked gathered on the floor and from that time until 9 o'clock they promenaded about the hall, intermingling with each other until the floor presented a conglomeration of people in pretty, unique and grotesque coBtumes. The sight was made even more pleasing to the 300 onlookers when a calcium light was thrown on the masked assemblage. Dancing to music furnished by Gipprich's orchestra began at 9 o'clock and continued until 11.15 o'clock, when the grand march took place. When it waa in its midst a photograph of the marching fantastics was taken by Ed Kottman, and at its conclusion the unmasking took place, and not a few surprises were sprung. Prizes were here awarded by judges for the most grotesque costumes worn.

After an intermission of thirty minutes dancing was resumed and continued until an early hour this morning. One of thd features of the ball was the tableaux presented during intermissions. They were pleasing and added to the gaiety of the occasion. The committee which was in charge waa composed of: Theodore Schlatter, novJJl-tf Go to Stewart's for lunch.

'Quo Vadii" the Opera Home Attraction This Evening, At the Eleventh Avenue opera house this evening one of the successes of the year, "Quo Vadis," will be presented. The same company waa in Williamsport about a week ago and of the performance there the Gazette of that city Baid: "A well filled house enjoyed the production of 'Quo Vadis' last night.

Taken as a whole the drama gave general satisfaction. As to the cast it was an unusually well balanced one, and it would be well nigh impossible to particularize as to the excellence of the individual players. The many dramatic situations were artistically approached and effectively carried out. The applause was frequent and well deserved." "Gifted with masterly command of language and aided by a magnificent presence, Dr. Leland by right of merit stands among the foremost lecturers upon the American platform." Galveston (Tex.)

The Keystone Dramatic' company opens a four days' engagement at the opera house next Tuesday afternoon. Referring to it the Washington (Pa.) Observer of February 6 says: "This is the first time this company has appeared in Washington, and the impression it created was a most favorable one.

As a repertoire company it is far above the average in every respect, in the work of the players, the stage settings and the specialties. L. W. McGill is leading man and Miss Gertrude Shipman leading woman. Both are clever artists.

Mr. McGill has a strong, forcible style and acts in a perfectly convincing manner. Miss Shipman has two great advantages youth and personal beauty. She is not the mechanical and stagy heroine so often seen in repertoire companies, but a creature of flesh and blood, and her earnest and conscientious work last night was pleasing and artistic. The supporting company waa good, in many cases exceptionally so.

The specialties were bright, entertaining and amusing, and the company as a whole certainly occu-piea a high place among repertoire organizations." RUNAWAYS YESTERDAY. Two Bectioni of tbe Citr Whiob Were Soenei of Exoitement. A spirited horse of Dr. J. E.

These Endeavorers into whose faces I am now looking are for the most part my children.

I have not come here to array before your excited vision great columns of figures, nor to hold up for your admiration bouquets of brilliant rhetorical carnations, but to say a few sober, earnest words with reference to the great movement which God set in operation now nearly a score of years since.
