The event was the fourth anniversary o f Deer- park Council No. 65 of the Catholic Benev olent Legion of this place. This organization, which now has a large membership o f the moat influential Catholic citizens o f this place, was organ ized in the basement o f St. Mary’s church, four years ago, by the Rev. E. J. Flynn, then pastor of St. Mary’s, aided by engi- | i neer Benjamin Hafner. Its object, as its name indicates, is purely benevolent, and it pays insurance on the death of members as high as $5,000, the amount, of course, depending upon the class to which the beneficiary is attached. Already several thousand dollars have been paid ©ut in this town, and incalculable good has been done. The present officers of the society President—T. J. Beirne. Vice President—John Dwyer. Secretary—James E, McCormick. Treasurer—Henry Munnich. To the anniversary exercises last even ing a limited number of invitations had been issued, and nearly every one fortu nate enough to receive such invitation gladly responded in person. Clune’s or chestra was present, equipped with new and sparkling music, and, from the march at the opening, the “ JoUy Coppersmith,’’ until the final dance was played. No. 19. the \Home Sweet Home” waltz, far into the “ wee,sma’ hours ayont the twal,” the interest o f the devotees o f Terpsichore as well as the lovers of good music was enlisted and excited by the general excel lence of the orchestra playing and the cheeriness and appropriateness of the music The orchestra certainly deserves much credit for its fine work. There was a judicious intermingling of quadrilles, waltzes, lanciers and schottis- ches, and the excellent condition of the floor and the roominess and airiness o f the hall gave ample opportunity, notwith standing ther, large gathering, for all to dance or move about freely and without jostling each other. It was a more than usually select affair, for one so large, and it passed off in the pleasantest manner possible. The dresses of the ladies were all handsome, and, with their pretty faces and vivacieus ways and the ornamentation of the cheery-looking hall, made the scene a very enlivening one indeed. Every gentleman was presented with a pretty boutoniere, by Mr. Geisen- heimer. It was about midnight when supper was announced. This was partaken o f in the rooms of the Port Jervis Ibrn Verein, on the same floor. A line was formed and the procession marched into the room, where a scene o f beauty and epicurian art greeted the eye. Here it was, more partic ularly, that the skill of Eddie Geisen- heimer, caterer, and the popular proprie tor o f the Clarendon Hotel, was displayed to advantage. There were three long rows of tables on which were temptingly dis played liberal plates of strawberries—the first o f the season in Port Jervis—oranges, bananas, nuts, meats, cakes, and, and— well, what wasn’t there on those tables in the way of choice viands ? There was everything seasonable that the market afforded- At the upper end of the middle table there was a large floral lyre, and at - * the lower end an equally beautiful floral harp. Suspended over the table was a large photograph of the most honored guest of the evening, the Rev. E. J. Flynn. The room was tastfiy decorated with flow ers, flags, bunting and evergreens, and, coupled With the enticing fragrance of the tempting edibles and coffees, made the scene a most attractive one indeed. Every one took pleasure in sounding the praises of caterer Geisenheimer, his intel ligent chef, and H s affable and pretty lady assistants. Indeed, it would be difficult to give them too much praise. Several more or less distinguished guests were found seated at the tables. At the head of the main table sat the Rev. Father Flynn and next to him the young and new assistant pastor of St. Mary’s, the Rev. Father Morris. Then came President M. C. Everitt of the First Na tional Bank, President of the village Shimer and wife, Postmaster Ryall and wife, Mr. Isidor Cohen, editor Shier of the Gazette, Mr. S. 0 . Dimmick, Mr. Wil liam Pountney, Mr. Ohr. Geisenheimer, President of the Port Jervis Mannerchor, Mr. N. Pflaum, President of the Turn Verein, er-collector Snook, Mr. George Lea, Walter Swan of New York; and a number of other guests, and about 180 persons were seated at the different tables. After the supper had been sufficiently discussed, Mr. Everitt arose, and, in his humorous way and with most appropriate remarks, proposed the health of the Rev. Mr. Flynn, which all drank standing. Mr. Flynn being called for, arose and thanked all present for the compliment paid him, and, after speaking in the most flattering manner of Port Jervis and her people and of his pleasant recollections o f the place, gave a brief history of Deerpark Council of the C. B. L. In response to repeated calls from the audience remarks were made by Mr. Pflaum, Father Morris, Mr. E. C. BierneandMr. P. H. Nolan, each of whom said just enough and in the right manner. Father Flynn having mentioned the musical abilities o f his old friend, Mr. Everitt, there were loud calls for a song from the latter. His response with \ Grimes ” was of so satisfying a character, and his digmfied but courteous refusal to further respond to repeated and deafening encores, that, at the invitation of Mr. Nolan, the assemblage arose en bloc and retreated to the dancing room, where the maizy festivities of the evening were re sumed. Taken altogether the officers of the council may congratulate themselves on the success of the reception, This was largely due, also, to the courtesy o f all the members to the guests and to the efficient aid of the following committees : Conductor—James Cunneene. Aids—Stephen Short, James Mulligan, James Mackin, John McNelus, Henry J. Murphy, M. Henley. Reception—E. O. Beirne, P. H. Nolan, J. D. Lyon, J. J. Delaney, Stephen Short, Joseph Schooner, James B. McCormick, James Mackin, T. J. Fallon, R. G. Dwyer, WIUI. STUDY KINDERGARTEN. Miss Gussie Holt of tliis Place to Eeai'n tlie Improved Educational System. We learn that Miss Gussie Holt, one of the most efficient teachers of the Church street school, has offered her resignation to the Board of Education with the inten tion of taking a course in preparation for kindergarten work. Miss Holt intends to enter the kindergarten school at Chi cago, Illinois, In September as a volun teer, with favorable prospects for a per manent position after a year’s prepara- While we regret to lose Miss Holt as a teacher, we cannot refrain from com mending the course she has adopted. She is a lady well qualified by nature for the work she proposes to lake up. She is in sympathy with the work, and about her future success there can hardly be a d®ubt. There is no better, no higher, no nobler cause in which man or woman can engage than that adopted by Miss Holt. The healthy development of the human mind in everything that pertains to mental growth and culture is an important mat ter. And the best method of stimulating this healthy growth in harmony with the growth and development o f the body, is a study worthy of the most laudable am bition. ADDITIONAI. LICENSES GRANTED.

C o n s p icu o u s M e m b e r s o f th a t C lub w lio aii’e a l t b e H o a d o f D e m o e i’a t ic L e g is la t io n —T h e A v o w e d O b ject o f tb e O r g a n iza t io n . Frew the Xev< York Press, It is well enough for Democrats to make light of the influence of the Cobden Club in American politics, but it is a potent factor all the same. The Ways and Means Committee has been largely influenced in the preparation of the so called Mills bill by a conspicuous member of that club. The Speaker of the House of Representa- tivos, John Griffin Carlisle, is a member of the Cobden Club. Thomas F. Bayard, Secretary of State, is a member of the Cobden Club. William C. EndiGOtt of Boston, Secretary of War, was admitted to this club in 1877. ’ What is the avowed object of this club? \Free trade, good will among nations,” and \ God save the Queen.” President Cleveland is not a present member of the Cobden Club, but it is a well known fact that the secret funds of this club are at the disposal of the President in his efforts to control American markets, and hand them over to British traders. At least this was openly charged in Congress last Saturday. The fact is tbe Cobden Club is to-day a potent factor in the body politic o f the Republic. It attempts to shape the details of the tariff through such members as J. S. Moore and sandwiching the names of Bayard, Endicott, Carlisle and others between those of British dukes and lords, it tickles their vanity and makes them easy prey to such skillful diplomats as Chamberlain. Yes, the Cobden Club is playing a much more desperate game in this country than the average American citizen suspects. It has representatives in the United States Senate, in the House of Represent atives, in the lobbies, on the platform, in the Cabinet, at the head of influential journals, in the lecture rooms of our colleges, and at the bar. All of these are working for one end. \Free trade and God save the Queen.” This means for the interests of England and not for the interests of this Republic. The P m s refers to the active members of the Cobden Club in this country. To the men who are counted upon to help along English interests in America. To the men who distribute the Cobden Club tracts, and who accept the money of members of that club to advance tlie interests of the Democratic party. A N A G E D P O R T J E R V I S L A D Y .
