Twenty-First Annual Banquet Last Night Proves an Enjoyable Affair ‘The large hall in the new Carroll Institute building was handsomely decorated last evening, and three long tables presented a | slittering array of china and glass ware, the attractiveness of which was enhanced by many candelabra containing lighted can- dies, their rays softened by tiny shades of different hues. It was the occasion of the twenty-first annual banquet of the Carroll Institute, and the members and their guests, when seated at the tables, en- Joyed an excellent menu that lasted a couple of hours. When the guests arrived they were received by the officers of the institute and the banquet committee and shown into the handsomely furnished parlors, while such as were visitors for the first time were piloted through the building, from the bowl- ing alleys in the basement to the well ap- pointed gymnasium in the upper story. was 9 o'clock when Presiden E. J. Hannan, | escorting Rev. Dr. O'Gorman of the Cath- olic University, headed the procession to the banquet room. The Oratory. With the arrival of the coffee and cigirs President Hannan rapped for order, and after a brief but interesting review of the work of the institute and the rapid strides it had made during the past year, particu- larly in the field of athletic sports, he in- troduced Rev. Dr. Thomas O’Gorman, who responded to the first regular toast, “Ico XIII, This is the Noblest Roman of Them All.” Dr. O'Gorman Is an eloquent speaker and as his theme was one which appealed to his highest powers, he held the close at- tention of the company for haif an hour, being frequently interrupted by enthusiastic applause. The next toast, “America.” was responded to by Representative John T. Dunn of New Jersey, who paid a high tribute to the land of his adoption and told some interesting incidents tn his personal history, which are not found in the biographical sketch in the Congressional Directory. “Washington—the American Mecca,” fur- nished a theme for Mr. Michael I. Weller to tell some interesting stories in regard to the early history of the national capital, and he emphasized the fact that to Washington more than any other is due the possession of religious freedom in the republic. He ex- pressed his admiration of this beautiful city in glowing terms and was loudly applauded at the close of his remarks. Other Toasts. Other toasts and those who responded to them were as follows: “Literature—Choose an author as you would choose, a friend,” Mr, James P. Voorhees; “Athletics—Give |me the avow'd, the erect, the manly foe,” Mr. Howard Perry; “The Past,” Mr. Matt | B. Johnston, who sent a bright poem, which was read by Mr. Sohon; “The Press—News: papers are the world’s mirrors,” Dr. Frank T. Howe; “Our Sister Societies—Friendship, ies, does bind the heart,” Mr. irr, and “Woman—the enig- ma of the nineteenth century,” Mr. Wm. H De Lacy. Mr. Vincent E, Lynch was to have responded to the toast to “The Dri ma,” but, in his absence, Maj. Mullet w called on and paid a high compliment to the work of the dramatic club within the instf- ring particularly to the recent Shakesp: performance. Mr. Cullen ave an attractive banjo solo and Mr. id- ard J. Walsh rv d one of Bret Harte’s poems very effectively. President Hannan was very happy in his introductions of the different speakers, and all the es were of a higher grade than the usual post-prandial oratory. A letter of regret from Mgr. Satolli was read. The oc- casion was considered to be one of the must enjoyable in the history of the institute. |The banquet commit to whose efforts the success of the a due, consisted of Messrs. Joseph A art, Nathaniel T. Taylor and James J. Collins, Hope and Help Misston. The board of managers of the Hope and Help Women and Girls, located at 622 H street northwest, held an important session at Hotel Fredonia last evening. Mr. James I. Petty and Mr. T. Jarvis, who are mem bers of the board since the Woman's Chris- tan Temperance Union gave up the work, were present, in their official capacity as treasurer and auditor. Mrs. La Fetra pre- sided, and Mrs. Catlin, the secretary, made her report.

A newly organized athietic club in South Washington, known as the Morton Athletic Club, named in honor of the ex-Vice Pres- ident, opened its rooms at 1216 Maryland avenue southwest last night with a recep- tion and luncheon, to which the lady friends of the club were invited. The new club is composed in part of the members of the old Daisy Social Club. It begins its career with thirty members, and hopes to soon increase the number to seventy-five or one hundred. The officers are: Charles E. Evans, president; Harry W. Edmon- ston, vice president; Benj. Sweeney, s retary; John F. Norris, manager; Thorn- ton Crown, treasurer; Willle Tolbertt, ath- letic instructor. The club expects to de- velop all branches of athletics, and will fit up its rooms accordingly. Friday night the club will give a dance. et ge oe Eastern Presbyterian Church. A free social was given by the Ladies’ Ald Society of the Hastern Presbyterian Church on Tuesday evening, to which the new members of the church were given an especial welcome. Mr. Robert Middleton and Mr. Wm. Clark sang baritone solos, Mrs. Shedd and Mr. Ben Judson each gave a plano solo, Mrs. Dr. Leack sang a con- | tralto solo and Prof. John A. Roeder, di- | rector of the church choir, gave a tenor solo. The program was finished by a selection | | given by the Banjo, Guitar and Mandolin Club, and the evening's entertainment was closed by serving refreshments. —— a Corresponding With Joyce. Third Baseman Joyce, who failed to come to terms last season, has evidently been in correspondence with the Washington Club management, as Mr. Schmelz has altered the arrangement of the veteran team in the spring test series by moving Sullivan from third to short and putting Joyce in that position. That moves Stricker from short to right field and puts Maul, who was down for right, on the bench as a substitute. There is also talk to the effect that Joyce wants to play with St. Louis this year, and that Mr. Von der Ahe is willing to take him if his sale or transfer can be arranged. —New York Sun. —_—__ An Event in Mt.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Dear Sir: For myself individually and in behalf of North Capitol Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, of which I have the honor to be president, I want to thank you for the manly, outspoken and much-needed editorial in The Star of February 5 con- cerning the Shea pardon. At a large gath- ering Monday night of representative Christian men and women nothing was heard but disapprobation of the President's action and commendation for The Star. When the chief executive of this great na- ton so far forgets the best interests of so- ciety, insults the moral element and pan- ders to the criminal class as to pardon so notorious a lawbreaker as Shea the public press should thunder with no uncertain sound. The rebuke given in The Star ts well deserved. We thank you for it, and want that you should know how well a great majority of the people are pleased with your course. MARGARET B. PLATT. —_—_——_. Street Cars and Convention Hall. To the Editor of The Evening St: Convention Hall is a grand good place in which to hold the Moody and Sankey meet- ings, to which so many of our citizens are looking forward with lively interest, and it would be all that could be desired if it were more conveniently located as to transpor- tation. If all the street car companies would unite in a system of transfers at tn- tersecting points (if only during a few hours in the evening) it would help matters some- what. It is to be hoped that they will con- sider it to their interest to do so. Ww. —._—_. Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to the following: Joseph J.
