It will net a hand- some sum for the fund that is set aside by the parlor for the benefit of its mem- bers who are placed on the sick list. Miss Annie Worth, past president, at- tired in. a black satin gown, and with face blackened, was the interlocutor, while to her right and left were the soloists in evening dress, and at either end were the bones and tambos, attired in green satin skirts trimmed with red. On an elevated platform was the chorus, some twenty in number, attired in college gowns and wearing mortarboards. There were many brilliant sallies of wit between the end women and the in- terlocutor, the coon songs were well ren- dered, as were the ballads, and each per- former was roundly applauded and forced to give an encore. All were recipients of many flowers. The programme included the following numbers: Overture, orchestra: opening chorus, entire company.

ISAAC HECHT paid $50 for a glass of punch at the gift sale for the benefit of the Woman's Hospital at the Palace yesterday afternoon. It was early, in the day when Mrs. Hecht marched up to the keepers of the punch bowl and asked fcf a glass of punch brev.-ed according to the famous Chese- brough recipe. After she had quaffed the delicious liquid she offered a $50 note In payment and pleasantly told the lady at the bowl that no change was wanted. Mis. Hecht's example, in a modified way, was quickly followed by other charl- ladies present, and so before the rhoir was two hours old the coffers of the hospital began to bulge with gold. I have never seen goods and . wares more artistically and temptingly dis- played than they were yesterday. All the ladios at the various tables had their prettiest frocks and sweetest smiles on as the excitement that comes from doing a rushing business brought a pretty and becoming flush to their cheeks. Tfcere were eight tables, each with a splendid display offered for sale, and with prices marked In plain figures, just like at all first-class counters. At the bro- cade table I lingered longest.. What glo- rious stuffs those brocades are! My pen cannot do them justice. They must be seen to be appreciated. Mrs. A. Chese- brough presided over the brocade table. ar.d had for her assistants Mrs. Horace Hill, Mrs. A. N. Towne, Mrs. Rabbins, Mips Chesebrough and Miss Dillon. At the punch table. Mrs. Charles Ban- crofT; -was in charge, assisted by Airs. I. Hecht, Miss Irwin and Mrs. E. Goodwin. Besiles dispensing th6 punch at this ta- ble, the ladies in charge are raflling off some: chcice old wines and some unusu- ally handsome rugs. It is the real Russian tea that one gets at the Russian tea table, and it is most delicious. It is brewed. by Mrs. J. Fra- nettz. and served by Miss Franetta, Mrs. Angclo R. Duperu, the Misses Sandman, Miss Julia Reid and Mrs. Lester Wells. I would advise the Doctor's Daughters to get for their doll show some of those tiny biPQue ladles in dainty paper dresses that Mrs. Stokes is selling. There are fifty little dolls, each one prettier than the other, and the hats they wear and the gowns tbey wear are the finest I have «vcr seen. No two of these pretty little sawdust ladies are dressed alike. Mrs. Stok«-s dressed every one of those wonder- 3Ienimac Hero Visits Church. Bazaar. No little interest was given last evening to the fair now being conducted in the hall of the Holy Redeemer Church - at Eighteenth and Diamond streets by the presence of John Murphy, one of the six companions of Lieutenant Hobson in the memorable act of sinking the Merrimac in the blockading- of the harbor of Santiago de Cuba. Murphy, it may be interesting to ncte, was the only one of the famous crew injured in the perilous affair. He Is only recently bax;k from the Philippines. He Is; a close friend of Father McQuaide, the pastor of the Church of the Holy Re- deemer. Murphy is as modest as he is bravt:. . He went to the fair last evening iinhp-alded and unannounced. BY SALLY SHARP. J. F. Corriea, one of the commission merchants who is testing the constitution- ality of the fish and game laws, was found guilty of the violation of the quail limit regulation in Judge Cabaniss' court yes- terday. Sentence was suspended, but the case will in any event be carried to the Supreme Court. . . - Corriea Found Guilty. Miss Lillian Burkhart has kindly con- sented to appear this afternoon and will give several recitations. There will also be vocal and Instrumental music rendered by some of the best talent in town. The maple room presented a gay ap- pearance last evening. The spacious hall was thronged throughout the entire night by members of the swell set. The court- yard of the Palace was also lined with carriages waiting for the patrons of the bazaar, who were intent on helping the cause of sweet charity. This evening .the Florodora society sextet will hold another rehearsal. These rehearsals will be held every other even- ing until the eventful night is here, so when the time comes for the performance the "pretty maidens" and "gentle strang- ers" will be letter perfect. At; the '.'old curiosity .table" .Mrs. 'H.C. Campbell is in charge and assisting her are Miss Alice Findley and Miss Alice Sperry- I saw some wonderful old snuff boxes at this table and also a magnificent collection of cameos. Most delicious home-made candy is on sale at the candy table. Mrs. J. H. Hatch dispenses the sweets with the assistance of Mrs. Bessie Smith, Mrs. George Eaton, Mrs. A. Gartenlauber and the Misses Sophie and Elizabeth Sullivan. . y The sale will continue throughout to- day. The Doctor's Daughters have things fn Euch shape that as the days of the doll show draw near but little remains for them to do. Nearly everything has been at- tended to and almost all the details for the big show are perfected by this time. Mrs. F. P. Pray Is head stationer at the stationery table. Miss Agnes Burgin Is assisting Mrs. Pray. There are useful articles galore at the utility table. Mrs. D. H. Whittemore has charge of the table and has the assist- ance of Miss Whittemore, Mrs. E. C. Evans and Millie de Valin. ful dollies. At the . table where these dolls are offered for sale Mrs. Stokes has the assistance of Mrs. Brooke Ridley and Miss Gertrude Burgess. All kinds of dainty fancy work Is of- fered for sale at the nurses* table, be- sides raffle tickets for a handsome set of carvers and a fine upholstered chair. Mrs. E. Younger is In charge of this table and is assisted by Miss Adelaide Pollock, Miss Prentlss Smith and a bevy of fair young nurses. / Petitions in Insolvency.
