To say that the auction sale of seats for the | Press Club benefit that is to be beid at Al- baugh’s next Friday was a success would be to put it even too mildly to suita profession whose sole nim in life is to tell the truth and never to exnggerate.

An Eventful Night at the Carroll Institute Fair. 4 BRIRF ADDRESS BY THE DISTINOUISHED GUEST OF THE EVENING—A SKETCH OF THE INSTITUTE AND THE WORK—THE NEW BUILDING. Twelve hundred people attended Carroll In- stitute world’s fair last night. Cardinal Gib- bons was there. He was the central figure of the throng. He had a kindly greeting for scores of friends and a kindly «mile for the host. He had come over: from Baltimore, paid visits to Mr. Blaine and Gen. Rosecrans, dined | with nis entertainer, Rev. Father Walter, at St. Patrick's rectory, and arrived at Carroll Institute Hall at 8:30. He was escorted to the in their fists platform by Prosident Edward J. Hannan, Vice | ‘going, going, gone” President Henry W. Sohon, Secretary T. 14-| Lewis, Agnes Deay, Sarah Higginson, Mrs. F. ward Mitchell, Treasurer Nathaniel T. Taylor, Rev. Father Walter, Rev. Father Keating, Rev. ming Father McGee and his private wecretary, Rev. | Father Wheeler. The oardinal was introduced by Presitient Hannan, who sp. prince of the church. The cardinal said he was throat-sore, foot-sore and weary. 2 However, he was piensed to increase his fatigue on’ this occasion. He appreciated the affectionate reception extended bim and gloried in the achiovements of Carroll Institute. He recalled when it was founded in 1873; how the literary society had grown from smal begin- nings to an association creditable in influence and affluence to the church. Its growth from the little band that used to meet in old St. Patrick's Hall to an organization 450 strong, with costly quarters, was the old oft-told story of the acorn and the oak. ‘The building was credit to the Catholics of Washington and de- served rich patronage. It was a fit place to welcome stranger Catholics. The impressive library of 3,500 volumes afforded vast scope for improvement of the mental and moral nature. He spcke of everything in a compli- mentary spirit. He would be pleased if the clergy and lnity would co-operate with Father | Walter in making the fair a success. In the hall ali was light and life. Dear girls, pretty as the sweethearts in novels, hustled to and fro on their raids for votes. Anybody could vote earty and often and everybody dit ‘Those smiles were more effective than two-dol- lar bills,and trouser pockets shelled out a silver lining. Financial rashness was committed in ail departments of the fair. ‘The generosity of the patrons was manifested in the bowling alley, the supper room and around the booths. | These were standard attractions, with their beautiful decorations and corresponding at- tendants, The festivities continued till near midnight. A SKETCH OF THE INSTITUTE. Carroll Institute was organized on the night of September 7, 1873, after suggestions by Major Edmund Mallet. On the 1th evening of the same month a constitution and by-laws were adopted and the rolls signed by twenty-five Youu people who had been members of the oung Catholics’ Priend Society. fhe officers elected were Daniel McMahon, president D. L Murphy, tecretary, and George Bogus, treasurer. Among the’ members of the ‘atholic Literary Society of W. as it was ti called, were Moj Mallet, J. Curroil Brent, John Bingham, James Fred. W. Collins, Daniel Broman, Jus, H. J. Schulters, sr., P. J. Donohue, now rector of { hedral, Daltimore.

H. Crane appeared last night as “The American Tt was an eminently successful appearance in every respect. The people who ir. Crane's career as ‘Tho ‘idently determined to follow him into the higher branches of statesmanship. “The Minister” has the same breezy affability combined with force of character that made the “Senator” such a favorite. The role is not & caricature of the. American politician. In ome respects it is rather a refingment of the cies, for there is much in Benj. Franklin aicton’s sincere honesty, direct logic, earnest- ness of expression and loftiness of purpose that might with good results serve as an ideal for the future Amerifan politicians. Part of this is due to Mr. Paul M. Potter, who wrote the play, and part to Mr. Crane, who developes the char- acter ina way which keeps the impression un- broker through the many interesting incidents of the performance. Mr. Crane has with hi a good company. J. W. Shannon, as tho [talian minister, was conscientious and capable aud Miss Hattie Russell was conspicuofly meritor- ious. Mention should also be made of the good work of Messrs. Adolph Jackson, J. C. Padgett, Wm. Herbert, Harry Braham and Messrs. Annie O'Neill, Augusta Foster, Amy Busby and Gladys Waluis.

Harmony Lodge, No. 9," of the Independent | Fellows celebrated its fifty-third anniversary last night in its hall on 8th street southeast. Instead of confining it exclusively to the members they adopted the happy idea of having their families unite with them in com- memorating the auspicious event, and the re- sult was one of the most pleasant social and fraternal reunions which has been witnessed in along time. The ball was tastefully decorated Order of Odd and contained upirard of 300 persons. Grand Representative William P.

The addresses were interspersed with music by a quartet consisting of Miss Edua G. Allan and the Misses Kehlert and a song by Past Grand H. Kablert, with Mrs, Kablert pre- siding at the organ. A humorous reading wa ven by D. C. Smithson, entitled: “The Odd ‘ellows’ Goat,” nearing the conclusion of which a live Sir William Goat was ushered into the aisle, which heightened the eifect and caused much merriment. Ice cream and cake were served during the evenihg in abundance to the entire company. At the conclusion of the exercises Chairman Allan, in well-chosen remarks, presented, in behalf of Harmony Lodge, a beautiful bouquet of choicest flowers to Grand Master Crawsbaw, who received the same in words appropriate to the occarion.
