The annual banquet of the Cliosophic and Sorosis societies of the high the former for the boys and the for the girls, both of which have in existence at the high school number of vears, and both very lar, was held last evening in Concordia Hall. This affair is looked forward each year with eager anticipation both societies, it always proves joyous event. Last night's banquet marks the affair of this kind given by both ties in conjunction, and it by eclipsed all former banquets in way.

About 200 were present, the ber being equally divided between societies. dance hall was fully decorated. Oppenhelm's orchestra furnished a delightful program dance music. Dancing was indulged until 11 o'clock, when the formed in line and marched to the ing hall below. The procession led by Eugene Scott and Miss Blumenthal, Robert E.

Wallace Miss Matilda Reynolds, Benjamin Franklin Bart and Mies Helen V. ring, S. Oscar Boughner, and Miss Nichol. The dining ball presented a beautiful appearance, the tables being somely decorated with cut flowers. hearty menu was served by Mrs.

reiter. The guests of honor included superintendent James M. Coughlin, Rev. and Mrs. Marcua Salzman and faculty of the high school, composed of, J.

L. Welter, Ellen E. Faulds, Enola B. Gule and garet Weir. After the banquet there was an of speechmaking.

Eugene W. ably occupied the toastmaster's The toast list was a well selected three members from each society ponding. Superintendent Coughlin was also called upon, well as cipal Breidinger of the high school. Both encouraged and congratulated members of both societies. CLIOSOPHIC.

The first speaker called upon Miss Helen Barring, talked "Closophic." She said, among things: Several years ago there was born our mansion of learning a baby society, a little brother to Sorosis. baby they called Cliosophic. Clio many a hard struggle with the waves of life until he got a firm hold, but to-day he has become strongest, largest and most influential boy society in our school, being only one. Gradually as this boy larger, stronger, bolder and badder was allowed to go to banquets, with his hair and face all nice shiny he would say bashfully to girl he loved best: "M-M-May I take you to the And she would blush and say, "I be delighted to go with you, John." Then he entered the terrible tongue conflicts with Sorosis, and of course was generally beaten. And with eyes swollen from weeping he would run home erving, "Mamma, mamma." Dear little Clio boy.

Once 'thie baby Clio to Sorosis and said very Indignantly, came, '00 'et win dis' time I won't p'ay '00 no more." So Sorosis, like the generous girl she is, let him win. To-day this boy has grown into noble manhood. He still attends the banquet with Sorosis, but the debate, ah, shall we say of the debate? A short time ago there appeared in our Journal an article in which Clio boasted of confidence of winning the debate. lo, and behold, when the came Clio refused to debate. Clio, thought themselves Invincible and resistible; Clio, the band of valiant knights who face their mighty ponents on battlefelds of athletics, who gaze fearlessly into the frowning countenances of their learned superiors, cringe before the brains and tongues their sister society, the incomparable Sorosis.

Clio, who boasted of their and brilliancy, are at last forced recognize their superiors. Ah, Sorosis, we have something to proud of. We can eay Clio was afraid to debate with us, afraid of the crushing defeats which our chosen representatives would inflict upon them with exertion and without any mercy whatever. To-night is the annual banquet, the Clio boys have turned out in glory, boys of all sizes, shapes looks. Big boys, little boys, Bold, bad handsome boys, Broad boys and tall.

All put on their Sunday clothes And have come to ball. Ah, boys, you do look handsome, conceit were consumption I afraid many of you would be in last stages, But we must remember that Clio boys are but mortal. They are given thinking themselves handsome and irresistible. They like to be complimented and made much of, even if they say, "A'w, quit your But Clio is also deserving of much praise, for it has been the highest aim this society to make its boys in life that could be desired, mentally, morally and physically, and 80 with last words I would say to this noble society: Here's to the wittiest, Here's the prettiest. Here's to the one we love most, Here's the neatest one, Here's to to them' all sweetest in one, one, Here's to Clio.

OVER THE SODA GLASS. She was followed by Claire Johnson, whose subject was "Over a soda said, in part: There is no doubt but that this subreminds almost every one present to-night of the conversations and many little incidents that occur at White's drug store. There may be some people will say, "Why at White's drug people belong to the high school store?" about you may be sure that these crowd or they would know why. White's is attractive at all times, but especially in foot ball- season, for it is there that the lucky girls often receive their complimentaries for the next game. During this season White's is only a drug store but a high school baggage room where the members of base ball team leave their dress cases and satchels, or their ball A MATTER OF HEALTH ROYAL ROY BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure HAS NO SUBSTITUTE suits alone if they haven't either of the school, former articles to put them in, between latter practices, and at all times it is a school been library, for the boys (and some girls) often leave their books there instead popu- of taking them home, but they say "prepared" just the same the next day.

Her subject was "Toaste." She said: I sat and I pondered, pondered deepthe ly for a subject on which I should speak on this momentous occasion.

The Lena thought of the august personages who Mar- would be present, such as the superintendent, the faculty, as well as the hour members of the Cliosophic and Sorosis Scott societies quite frightened me and made chair. me feel that my ability was not equal I one, to this task. Finally after considering re- such subjects of general interest as pool and chocolate sodas, which hold prin- corresponding positions in the hearts of the Slio-Sorosis members respectively, the I decided that I would toast toasts, past and present, as well as the toasters and the listeners. WAS Look at the face of your neighbors on as they listen with strained attention other to us poor speechmakers. (I use poor advisedly as having a double meaning).

What on the other dear, hand is able to depict a meeting of Clio in which previous functions and erasers, points of order and chair rungs what fly around indiscriminately. (In confidence I may say here that one of the subjects I thought about was the their faculty but how could my pen express But my devotions to their devotions to us, to the watch and guard they keep upwho on us, to the toasts they impose upon ir- us.

I mean its construction as referring to unity, diction and of that sort of thing? Do you imagine for a minute that a toast would escape from the hands of a teacher in English wit without severe and strenuous to Watch their faces as I proceed. Think criticism? of the amount of red ink they would be waste trying to bring order out of this chaos.

Yet there is some excuse. We can only talk for three minutes. Let all still to speak take warning and so we want our little say no matter how it is said, to spread over that time. and TOAST TO SOROSIS. full Then came the boys' turn.

Robert and Wallace was the first called upon, "Sorosis" was his theme. He said, in part: Have you ever been in high school on afternoon and saw that unsophisticated horde of little girlies that but fashion come in to attend that society of plates known to the ignorant am world as Sorosis. The meaning of its Sorosis you know comes from the Irish or Yeddish I don't know which (ask Scott) and it means sisters, and how sisterly and loving they are (at open house) but when alone in their own private meetings, what a crowd of caged tigresses they are. a The Sorosis Society was organized about ten years ago, and has accomplished some very excellent work along literary lines, and very few girls, no matter where or why organized, have accomplished much more in this line than our little sisters. The members B.

are noted for their proficiency in making raisin fudge and to become a mem.ber, a girl must "be ever the age of 19, of be able to drink at least four sodas and ly must expect to stay in high school five few years. not Have you ever been to that next most corrupt city to Scranton-Philadelphia? That's where they stuff the Mr. ballot box. Have you ever been to sale Pennsylvania's a the place noted for its murders, cock fights, suicides and other social fetes, among which is ballot box stuffing. Have you ever heard of the crooked nature of along this line? Why actually and at their last presidential election, fifty members were present and 100 votes were cast.

Isn't that strange? Now how do you account for it? The order in their meetings is posi- from tively worse than at the Polish Republican meetings at Brookside. One woa she man Sorosis goes who meets. out lives for on Now a Jackson walk If they every street had time says the Clio president he would be able to keep office. order but the Sorosis presidents always quell a disturbance with an "Oh girls a don't." It is a standing rule in Sorosis that not more than five girls may have the floor at. the same time.

If Mr. with Roberts who wrote "'Roberts's Rules of past Order could see the use his rules are of put -to, I wouldn't care to answer for and the consequence. is One of the greatest inducements for from a girl to join Sorosis is the "banquet." From the time Sorosis started this tion year until to-night the talk has been Banquet! Banquet! Banquet! And I as have heard some of the funniest things comes concerning this affair to-night. For in- wide stance the other night I was coming up North Franklin street and as I was an parsing a certain residence I discovered titled (though all the lights around were large out) a maiden and youth sitting on the up porch and I heard the boy say "Edith you don't mind waiking to the ban- made quet do you? Why no Joe. of course not." she answered.

but for a few days Edith wore a rather long face until that one morning she saw in the paper that our city superintendent's salary had been increased $500 a year. Since then she's wore the smile that won't come off. And I don't think they walked. DREAM OF THE GOLDEN PAST. trict tricts A dream of the golden past" was line the toast given by Eugene G.

Cohen. ond Hie remarks in part, were as follows: Do you ever dream? No, not a pipe Third dream, but thore good old fashioned Firs dreams that come with a box of fudge ard (girls take the hint), or a pipe of bacco, -but then, of course, none of you smoke.

Then we alight and I enter the officeyes, that's almost reality, for many is the time I've landed there without an and I shake the ever-extended hand of our I see on the walls new proverbs: Blessed are those who call at the office, for they shall see Mr. Breidinger. Blessed are those who confess their faults to the faculty for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed isthe who thirsteth after general hisory, for he shall be Alled to overflowing.

Blessed are they who use a pony for it shall be a help to them, if not caught. YOU CAN NEVER TELL. Ernest S. Urwitz's address on "You never can tell," concluded the toast list. He said: "You can never tell," strange things happen every day, and they don't always happen to strangers.

For instance, when I told Wallace I had an outline set for an original, he wanted to know "what kind of a fish an original was. So, just for a little amusement, I told him an original was a kind of a shark which inhabits dark pools, whereupon he said: "Then Behee must be an original, because he is a pool' I see here to-night a number of our honorary members. It being the tenth year of these joint banquets, I think that they, as well as ourselves, should feel proud of the fact that we have kept up the social as as the literary side of our work, for is it not pleasant to see two such societies as these, both striving to attain the highest fame in the literary Ine, meet here in a social way and forget the jealousy which we have felt after having been beaten in some debate or literarv contest by our opponents? Indeed it is a sight which should make us feel as though there is always pleasure in life if we look for it. And I am sure we are all looking for it. See how happy Doran-one of the honorary members -looks, although he cannot feel certain whether it is this splendid sight or the fine repast to which he have all done can never tell." So let us all feel proud of our cletles and in years to come, whenever convenient, attend the annual banquet of the two societies, which have taught us our first real lessons in parliamentary law; for the struggle through life is long, and we all have our work to do: probably some as doctors, some as teachers, and some might even be lawvers.

"like Mr. and still lead an honest life--but "you never can tell." DELEGATES ELECTED. Those Who Will Attend Democratic Convention Next Week. The Name of John M.

DR. GRIFFITH'S SKETCH IN CONNECTION WITH COMING ANNIVERSARY. ton bas the following sketch of the Welsh Baptist Association of North- eastern Pennsylvania in a recent issue of the Baptist Commonwealth: On the 21st of May, 1905, the above association will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary with the First Welsh Baptist Church Scranton, hence a few facts respecting its history may be of interest. The Welsh Baptists 00- cupy a very prominent position in the history of the origin and development of the Baptists Welsh Baptists -the Eatons others--from Dolan, Radnorshire, Wales, were among the chief founders of the old Pennepek Church, now the Lower Dublin Church, Philadelphia, which is the oldest Baptist Church in Pennsylvania, now in existence; it was founded in January, 1688. A church had been organized at Cold Spring, near Bristol, in 1684, but it ceased in 1702.

The old Welsh Tract Church came from Rhydwilym, Wales, as an organized church in 1701 with Rev. Thomas GrifAth as their pastor. Montgomery Church was founded in 1719 by the famous Rev. Abel Morgan, who came from Wales in 1711-others might be named such as the Great Valley in 1711, in the history of which Philipses, of Cilcam, Wales, are prominent, the ancestors of our beloved brethern Drs. 0.

P. Eaches, of New Jersey, and PhilWest Chester and Brandywine, Hilltown, New Britain. W. Keen, in his history of the First Baptist Church of Philadelphia, says that "the preponderance of the Welsh element in the early history of the Philadelphia 'Association, and especially, of our church, is worthy of the first six joint pastors of Pennepek and Philadelphia three- Samuel Jones and both the Morgans -were Welshmen, to whom are to be added their immediate successors, Jenkin Jones and Morgan Edwards. Their force of character counted for far more than their numbere.

To this fact is due the sturdy Calvinistic faith which was characteristic not only of our own, but of nearly 'all the churches or the Philadelphia Association. Even 80 late as Feb. 14, 1831, separate services in the Welsh language were held in our church." (See history First Baptist Church Philadelphia, p. 54.) To the above might to added that it is chiefly to the Welsh Baptists the American Baptists are indebted their scriptural position the communion question, and their first institutions of learning at Hopewell and Brown. The influence of the Welsh ministry has been felt throughout the ages and will continue so.

Such names as Abel Morgan, Morgan Edwards. Samuel and David Jones, Morgan John Rhees, William Shadrach, Benjamin Grifth, Isaac Bevan, and many others known we might mention will always honorably known in Baptist history. and among them the founders of the Welsh Baptist Association of Northeastern Pennsylvania form an in important, honorable and essential part the great and noble work of building Christianity in the State and throughout the world.
