Birthday Anniversary to Be Cele- brated April 13. Thomas Jefferson's birthday anniversary will be celebrated on April 13 by the Na- tional Association of Democratic Clubs with a subscription dinner in this city, which in nearly every respect will be a rep- etition of the famous dinner here in 1897. As wag the case last year, Mr. Bryan will be the principal speaker this year. He has already accepted the invitation of Presi- dent Cnauncey F. Black. Great attention was attracted to the din- ner of last year, owing to the presence of Mr. Bryan and otkers of national fame and the emphatic speeches of all the speakers. The National Association of Democratic Clubs is now being thoroughly organized, and will, no doubt, play an important part in the coming congressional campaign, and this coming Jeffersonian celebration’ will likely be a reflection of the sentiments dominating all the officers of this great democratic organization. The dinner this year will be more national in the matter of attendance than last year, as a much larger dining hall has been en- gaged, which will permit of visitors from all sections. It is fully anticipated by Sec- retary Lawrence Gardner, who has ail the arrangements for the celebration in charge, that every state in the Union will be repre- sented at the dinner, ond that upward of six hundren stanch democrats will partici- pate in the anniversary exercises. a Lecture at Y. M. C. A. Rooms, An illustrated lecture describing a trip through a coal mine will be delivered by Rev. D. W. Skellenger at the Young Men's Clristian Asscciation rooms tomorrow ev- ering. This will be the sixth of the series of complimentary entertainments given to the members and friends of the associa- tion. Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis, national super- intendent of the W. C. T. U., will address the meeting for men Sunday afternoon. The White Cross movement for the en- ccuragement of personal purity will be her subject, ond the address will be for men only. ——— Pictures on Boot Soles. From Invention. The boot shops of Paris, says the Globe, are now noticeable for the landscapes painted by hand on the soles of new boots. The scenes have only a transitory life, but fashion’s whims must be respected, and, while this whim lasts and boots are new, a large family reed only stand on their heads to be a complete picture gallery for their friends.

From the Boston Evenjng Transcript. ‘The late Mary Cowden Clarke for the last fifty years of her life never permitted any change in the style of her dress, and in- variably wore the picturesque and old-fash- joned gowns which were in vogue in the late '40s. These were always made of the richest silks and satins, and opened in front to display a dainty underskirt flounc- ed with fine old Honitan lace. She adhered to the good old-fashioned caps, with a big rosette of-ribbon just above the forehead, and tied under the chin, so well beloved by our grandmothers. Her manners were also quite of the old school. She retained all her faculties till within a few days of her death, and although she was over eighty- eight, her memory was as clear as that of a person still in the prime of life, —_ ++ -___ It mattera little what it is that you want —whether a situation or a servant—a reach the Picturesque “want” ad. in The Star will person who can fill your need.

Dropped Three Games to the Saenger- bund Team. ‘The Columbia Athletic bowling team un- wishingly helped the Saengerbund bowlers last night to strengthen their hold on first notch in the bowling league race. The games were rolled on the Saengerbund al- leys and the Columbias were many pins be- hind in each contest. Stitt was the only Cc. A. C bowler who bowled in his usual form, even steady Dr. Ricker having an off night and averaging but 136. Mason aiso hurt his standing for individual aver- age by pulling out a low series of scores. Spiess did finely for the home team, se- curing an average of 190, and also having highest single game for either side, 205. Spicss made the difficult spare 1-2-7-8 in the first game, and Stitt is credited with 517 in the last event. The Saengerbund bowled remarkably strong tenpins in the second and third games, in spite of the fact that Desio did rly. Had Desio bowled in his usual form the two games should have stood over each. pecaitiaite started well in the first game, the first frame ending with honors easy between the two teams. Walker, for Co- lumbia, could not find the alleys, however, and added to low scores by Mason and Rodier the Saengers were enabled to win out by 91 pins. The score follows: .
