They have ample room in their new build- ing, which fronts on K street, and which affords every facility for this purpose, and they intend to ask an appropriation from Congress to aid them in this work. A feature of the evening was the musical and literary entertainment in which Miss Daish, Prof. Klemm, Mrs. E. F. Hort, Mrs. Voorhees and Miss Carinne Hay took part.

The bazaar will be held at the time mentioned, to give every one a chance to buy Christmas dolls. One of the ladies has offered the use of her house at the above address, where the sale will be*held for two days. Some very beaufiful Golls have been donated. One beauty from Paris cost $i there, and she has brought with her. complete outfit, even to all the toilet articles now found on a lady’s dress- ing table. An Indian brave and squaw have also been donated. A number of ladies prominent in all good works, as well as in society, have the bazaar in charge, and all | Prowdl are striving to make it a success. It is curious, would help the good work along immensely by loaning them for exhibition. Old dolls and plain ones, as well as the more gorgeously arrayed,will here find an audience entirely sympathetic, and the sale can be one of the most interesting, and at the same time the most novel, if everybody who has the power 10 do so will just. ve @ helping hand.

The resident members of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, now gumbering nearly sixty, resumed last night their monthly “smokers,” which they are in the custom of giving every winter. It is the wish of this fraternity to establish permanent head- quarters in this city, preferably in con- junction with other similar societies.

An er Big Battie Ship Adéed to the American Navy. The big battle ship Oregon was success- fully launched at the Union iron works at San Francisco yesterday in the presence of over 20,000 people. The morning broke cold and cheerless, and a heavy fog overhung the bay and land, but the uninviting con- dition of the atmosphere did not deter those who had made up their minds to be ent at the launching from starting an early hour for the scene. On the bay yachts, tugs, steamers small boats were crowded capacity. The fog lifted the sun shone forth to the scene. A private stand ed right under the bow of and hereon stood the‘invited Irving M. Scott, president of the Us fron works; Gen. Ruger, department of the Pacific, and Howison, commandent of the Mare navy yard; Governor Markham, Mayor lert, Gen. Compson of Portland, represent- ing Governor Pennoyer of Oregon, and other distinguished personages were pres- ent, and, in addition, there were two young ies who took a most important part in the ceremony. They were Miss Daisy Ainsworth, rep- resenting the state of Oregon, and y historic batchet, was cut by a guillotine,set free by the pressing of an electric button Miss Shelby. The guillotine,in its fall, severed the cond, which held two twenty-five-pound weights in position. These weights struck the dog- shores, and,knocking them out, set the ves- sel in motion. At the same moment Miss Ainsworth pressed another button, allow- ing a bottle of California champagne crash against the bow in a thousand pieces and spill its contents over it. Thus was the big departure the ways, Gown which she glided easily into the bay, a mighty cheer arising from the tional airs, and with every whistle about sending forth @ screech of enthusl asm. i —.— MR.
