It was a great audience and a great per- formance which marked the dedication of the new convention hall over the Northern Liberty market last night. The Elks were the hosts for the occasion, and whenever the Elks de- clare themselves at home for any purpose there is invariably a great turnout of the thousands of friends of the organization, Outside of tho pleasure of attending a benefit to such an organization as the Elks the andience was repaid last night a thousand times over by the intrinsic excelfence of the performance itself, and seldom in thia city has so much enthusiasm been’ shown, $. G. Pratt's beautiful allegory in song of the war drew together an audience of 5,000, while of performers there were military organization orchestras and an immense chorus of 500 voices, The patriotic songs and pageants created the wildest enthusiasm, the entire audience at timer rising and cheering madly. As for the new hall it at once proved itself capablo of comfortably seating a vast crowd in such a way that every one could see and hear, | The hall was appropriately decorated with flags and plants, and with its buge size, arch- ing roof and blazing hghts could not fail to make a favorable impression on those who looked at it for tine first time, The chorus was composedof selected singers from the Congregational Church choir, Dr. Bischoff director; Church of the Holy Name chvir, Prof. Saltzman director; Church of the Immaculate Conception choir, Mrs, Baker- | sinith director; Mount Vernon Methodist choir, Prof. Law director; St. Dominic’ Mass Bise nor Mai choir, | ’s Episcopal choir, ‘B0e for the 50c Cotton Skirts, with deopdiom and fine tucks.

EXCITED OVER A GOLD FIND. Last week there were taken from a new shaft that has been sunk near the Great Falls, Mary- land side, the finest specimens of gold that have ever been found in that section. ‘Tye peo- and particularly the property holders in the vicinity, are therefore much excited. There appears to be plenty of ore in sight as rich as that taken out. The gold is supposed to be from the same belt that runs through North Carolina and has been taken out in more than paying quantities. People in the region | of the Little Falls are still on the lookout for | what they term the Payne mine. When asked | to explain how at was lost, they reply it | bas never yet been found, and then tell | the following story: Years ago there was a| man living in the vicinity of the Little Fails , Who had five fingers anda thumb on cach band. Every time he would come to | town to purchase liquors and necessities he would pay for them with money obtained by | trading off arich lump of gold. Three and | four lumps a week were brought down, As to where he got it Payne was as dumb as an oyster, and though he was frequently watched | his bonanza was never discovered. Up to his death ‘he brought this gold to town. _ When be died his secret went with him, though it is sup- | posed that the precious metal he had located | was close to the Little Falls, owing to the fact that he was never seen to go farther up the river than that when gold was needed. MEMORIAL SERVICES, On Sunday ovening next at the Dumbarton Avenue Church Rev. Geo. Elliot will preach a memorial sermon to the members of George N. Morris Vost, G. A. R., and several like organi- zations. ‘The committee appointed by the post to su- perintend decorations from this section on the 30th consists of Messrs. Rudolph Ulmer, J. W. Kirklev and George W.
