AMID THE OLD SCENES
FORMER TIES AGAIN RENEWED
Banquet by Alumnae
Association of St. Mary's Academy, a Most Delightful
Affair--Loving Cup Presented--Officers for E???ing Term.
The
evening feature of the biennial convention of the Alumnae
Association, of St. Mary's academy, was a banquet given in the
convention hall at the academy on Wednesday evening following a
business session held in the afternoon.
The hall was elaborately decorated in
blue and white, the academy colors, festooned above the windows
around the four sides of the large room. At the upper end
of the room the altar was artistically arranged with flowers and
plants and in the center of the banquet hall palms and other
potted plants were tastefully placed. The table for
visiting clergymen occupied the head of the hall. Above it
suspended from the ceiling were four strands of smilax running to
the corners of the table. Near the point where the strands
joined was a smilax circle surrounded by candles.
Opposite this table in the lower end of
the room was the table occupied by the officers of the
association and the members of the class of '74, this meeting
celebrating the silver anniversary of that class. Above
this table was suspended the association medal done in
silver. On each side of the hall was a long table,
suspended about it and in the center being the association medal
done in gold. Each of the tables was beautifully laid and
lighted by many blue candles in black candlesticks.
Among those at the clergymens' table
were Very Rev. Andrew Morrisey, president of the University of
Notre Dame; Fathers Cooney, L'Eltourneau, Maguire, Crumley,
French, Haggerty, Vagnier, Ill and Conner, of Notre Dame, and
Father Tighe, of Chicago. The banquet was served in
numerous courses and was one of the most elaborate affairs of its
kind in the history of this celebrated academy. Presented With a Loving Cup. After the first
course Miss Elizabeth Black, of Milwaukee, Wis., president of the
association, interrupted the banquet by the presentation of a
silver and gold loving cup to the association. Her speech
was a splendid effort. She referred to the customs
attaching to the loving cup and requested that at each banquet
the cup be used to drink the health of the reverend fathers and
their guests who might be present. The cup was filled and
the health of all drunk amid senes of a touching character.
The legend on the cup is as follows: "Presented to the
Alumnae association of St. Mary's academy, by Mother Mary
Pauline, honorary president; Elizabeth M. Black, president; Ellen
McGrath O'Brien, first vice-president; Adelide Gordon Murdock,
second vice-president; Maude Clifford Cory, secretary; Adelaide
Walsh, treasurer."
The banquet then proceeded and at its
close Miss Mary Ewing, of Lancaster, O., called the guests to
order and acting as toast mistress named the toasts and called
for responses. The first toast was "Our Alma
Mater," Mrs. Rose Devoto Coffman, of Omaha, Neb.,
responded. Her speech was a fine effort. She paid a
splendid tribute to St. Mary's academy and the work it has done
and is now doing for young women. Mrs. M. C. Ryan, of
Chicago, responded to the next toast, "Woman, Her Duties and
Responsibilities." Her effort was also of a most
entertaining character. Mrs. Katherine Doran Bryant, of
Rockford, Ill., delivered a welcome to the class of '99. It
was of the most cordial character and was responded to by Miss
Pauline Murfey, of Chicago. This was followed by speeches
by President Morrisey, Father French and Father Crumley.
Each paid a high tribute to St. Mary's and the association.
After the banquet the association and
the guests adjourned to St. Angela's hall where an informal
entertainment was given. A poem, "Reunion," was
presented by Miss E. Murphy, of Woodstock, Ill. Another
poem, "The Bird of Time," by Miss Edith Keating, of
Washington, who was unable to be present, was read. Vocal
and instrumental music served to enhance the pleasure of a very
delightful evening. Those taking part were Mrs. Coffman,
Miss Black, Miss Henderson, Miss Gavan, Miss Wagner, Mrs. H.
Guise Kinzer, Miss Grace Albright, Miss Mary Quinlan, Miss Anna
Dillon and Miss Evelyn Murphy. During the banquet Elbel's
orchestra rendered music.
Thursday morning at 8 o'clock requiem
mass was celebrated by Father Haggerty, Father French and Father
Crumley with Father Conner as master of ceremonies, in the Chapel
of Loreto. The sermon was preached by Rev. Father
Cavanagh. His remarks were directed especially to members
of the association and he referred with deep earnestness to the
philosophy of life which, he said, was not complete unless death
was taken into consideration. The music was furnished by a
choir composed of members of the association and the service
lasted about an hour. Appropriate to the character of the
service the church was decorated in black. In the vestibule
was a large card bearing the names of the deceased members.
The card was the idea of Mother Pauline and brought back to the
members of the association the memory of many dear friends who
have passed away.
Following the service the association
held its last business session in St. Angela's hall, the session
being a continuation of the other business meetings. The
constitution was modified in several particulars and other
routine business was disposed of. The election of officers
resulted in the choice of Miss Black for president; Mrs. Margaret
Dillon Cavanaugh, '67, first vice-president; Miss Mary Ewing,
'80, second vice-president; Miss Anna Hunt, '96, recording
secretary; Miss K. Gavan, '89, corresponding secretary; Miss Rita
Phillpot, '81, treasurer. The association will hold the
next meeting the third week in October, 1901.
The association spent a portion of
Thursday at the University of Notre Dame, having ...

of focus to read.) ... Chapel of Lorreto. At 7:30 o'clock,

A MORNING WEDDING
PRETTY CEREMONY PERFORMED
Mr. Samuel Martin Chord and Miss
Elizabeth Grace George United in Marriage in the First
Presbyterian Church--Notes of Society. At 10 o'clock a.
m. Wednesday before a modestly decorated altar in the First
Presbyterian church and surrounded by about 300 of their friends
and relatives, Mr. Samuel Martin Chord and Miss Elizabeth Grace
George were united in marriage by Rev. Henry Webb Johnson, D.
D. Outside a desultory rain fell in dull contrast to the
brilliant ceremony that was being performed within, but the gloom
of the morning only made the lamp of love beam forth with more
brightness as it shone with mellow reflection upon the union of
this charming bride and happy groom.
The nuptials were marked by the complete
absence of any attempt of ostentation. The decorations
consisted simply of an artistic arrangement of palms. Mrs.
Samuel Lockhart sat at the organ and preceding the entrance of
the bridal party played several selections, the last of which
merged into the processional, Mendelssohn's march. The
procession passed up the north and south center aisles. The
ushers, A. Howard Cushing, John D. Beitner (Beltner?), Perkins
Ellis and Frank Dunnahoo, came first. The bride entered the
church from the chapel and was accompanied by her sister, Miss
Bertha Carmany George. At the altar they were met by the
groom and his best man, Mr. Joe Livingston. The ring
service was said after which the bride and groom knelt upon a
silken pillow and received a nuptial blessing. Mrs.
Lockhart rendered "The Sweetest Story ever Told" during
the ceremony and Lohengrin's march was played for a
recessional. The bride's gown was an elaborate creation of
ivory gros grain silk with Duchesse lace trimming. She wore
a veil and carried a white prayer book. Miss George's gown
was turquoise poplin silk combined with liberty silk. She
carried an Empire bouquet of bride's roses and wore a picture hat
of black velvet. She was the bride's only attendant.
After the ceremony a wedding breakfast
was served at the residence of the bride, 617 Park avenue, to
relatives, the bridal party and a very few friends. The
decorations were ferns and pink roses. The dining room was
presided over by Mrs. F. Lewis Stedman and Miss Oliver, who were
assisted by Miss Jeannette Murray, of Pittsburg, Pa., Miss Lenora
Clark, of Chicago and the Misses Lillian Ware and Lucy Pershing,
of this city. An elaborate collation was served.
The bride is a daughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. C. M. George, and occupies a prominent position in the
social circles of this city. For 10 years she was an
employe of the Tribune Printing company, during most of which
time she served as principal accountant in the business
office. Her natural affability and congenial manner won for
her an unlimited number of well wishing friends. Mr. Chord
is a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Chord and holds the
responsible position of manager of the collection department of
the Studebaker Bros. Manufacturing company. They will be at
home after Nov. 15 at 617 Park avenue.
Among those from out of the city who
were present at the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. J. Weldman Murray
and Miss Murray, of Pittsburg, Pa.; Mrs. Scott Thurber, Mr. and
Mrs. Lucius Clark, Miss Lenora Clark and Miss Irma Clark, of

of a smilax curtain. The bridesmaid, Miss Mary Ream, sister

Rush, of Lakeville, and Jessie Baer, Grace Wike, Kate Slick and

BOY STABBED IN THE BACK.
Andrew Tott, a Hungarian, Held by the Police on a Serious Charge.
Andrew Tott, a Hungarian, 45 years
of age, is in the custody of the police and a serious charge has
been lodged against him.
Tott has been several times arraigned in
the police court on a charge of intoxication and it was his
appetite for liquor that got him into this last trouble.
Last Friday night he went into the shoe shop of H. Miller on
North Michigan street and asked to have his shoes repaired.
Miller and his assistant, Will Funk, a boy 18 years of age, saw
that the man was drunk and politely refused to do his work,
telling him he had no money. This accusation was too much
for Tott and he took out his poket book and emptied its contents
to show that he was not a pauper.
While exhibiting the money Tott dropped
a coin on the floor and Miller found it for him. Tott was
not satisfied with the size of his pile and insisted that either
Miller or Funk had picked up some of the money. Both denied
the accusation and Miller started for home leaving the boy in
charge of the shop. Tott followed him south on Michigan
street to the Grand Trunk railroad and then turned back. He
went again to the shoe shop and finding the Funk boy alone made
another demand for his money. The boy protested that he did
not have it, whereupon Tott, it is alleged, set upon the boy with
a knife and stabbed him once in the back. Tott then ran
from the shop and down an alley across the street. August
Prast, who has an office near the shop, was a witness to the
affray and gave chase. Tott ran to the north and south
alley between Colfax avenue and Water street and turned
south. Prast was close at his heels and while passing the
police station called for help. The officers were preparing
for roll call and 15 of them ran out the front door and joined in
the chase. Tott was captured in Printing House row and
taken back to the station.
The wound inflicted on the Funk boy is
not serious. The knife penetrated to a depth of about one
inch. The boy is a resident of Brazil, Ind., and came here
last April. Tott will be taken into the circuit court on
information.
Tott was later arraigned, pleaded not
guilty and was bound over to the circuit court.
Care for Skin Disorders.
People who never know an hour of
ease or self-forgetfulness in society because of blemishes in
their faces, due to skin disorders, should make the acquaintance
of Heiskell's ointment and Heiskell's soap. Used together
these two remedies make up a common sense treatment for skin
diseases which removes pimples, freckles, tetter, eczema and all
skin disorders. They are excellent to rub on the face after
shaving to keep the skin soft, smooth and free from blemishes and
"blackheads." If your druggist does not sell
these remedies, you can get a free sample, or buy them in any
quantity by writing to the manufacturers. Johnston,
Holloway & Co., Philadelphia, Pa.
John Windmill is Insane.
John Windmill was brought here from
Laporte Wednesday and given into the custody of the police who
took him to the county jail. Windmill resides south of the
city near Lakeville and his mind is affected. While in this
condition he wandered away from home and was found in Laporte.

The last day for paying second installment of taxes expires the first Monday of November, 1899.

SOUTH BEND'S CHARITY.
An Important Meeting Held Tuesday Evening at the Y. M. C. A.
The second meeting of the
gentlemen interested in the organization of a local charity
association was held at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday night and the
attendance was such as to warrant great interest in the
object. Among he gentlemen present were the Messrs.
Campbell, Knoblock, Stoll, Brown, Guy, Young, Wilder and
Hollowell. J. B. Stoll was named as chairman and A. D.
Young, secretary. As opening remarks the chairman stated
that the funds of the Humane society could not be appropriated
for charitable purposes and that some other method must be
devised by which to raise the funds and that the two
organizations should go hand in hand in their work. These
remarks were brought about by remarks made by Mr. Campbell in
which he wished to attach the charity work to that of the Humane
society and in fact, he insisted on associating the two.
Mr. Guy favored separate organizations
consisting of some 10 people as the board of directors and they
to choose their superintendent.
Mr. Wilder than moved to organize a
society to be governed by a board of directors. The motion
was carried.
Mr. Guy then moved that the board
consist of 14 persons which was also carried. The board of
directors selected is as follows:
John B. Stoll, C. L. Gootz, Joseph
Turnock, P. O'Brien, Schuyler Colfax, Arthur D. Baker, Samuel
Leeper, S. C. Lontz, N. J. Riley, Irving A. Sibloy, Elmer
Crockett, L. LeVan, George E. Clarke, Joseph E. Williams, F. H.
Kowalski, Ignatius H. Roth, F. H. Badet, S. F. Allen, John C.
Knoblock, J. B. Birdsell, H. W. Kreigbaum, Samuel Perley, Anthony

COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Annual Convention of Association Held in South Bend This Week.
The annual convention of the St.
Joseph County Sunday School association was held in the First
Christian church on Tuesday and Wednesday. The attendance
at the opening seesion not as large as expected, but increased in
the afternoon.
The discussions throughout the sessions
were of an interesting and very profitable character. The
event of the meeting was an address on Tuesday evening by C. D.
Meigs, of Indianapolis, superintendent of the Indiana Sunday
School association.
The session Wednesday morning was not
followed out according to programme, the going of C. D. Meigs to
Valparaiso, Ind., causing several slight changes. Rev. J.
W. Walker, however, made an address, "Sunday School Lessons
from Palestine," in a very interesting manner and received
the closest attention by his audience. Mr. D. W. Thomas
also made an able address. The election of officers
resulted as follows: Vice-president, David Augustine;
secretary, W. S. T. Bassett; assistant secretary, Miss Edith
Ullery; treasurer, Noah Platz; superintendent home department, D.
N. Dressler; assistant, Mrs. E. B. Harris. The election of
president was left to the officers elected. Wednesday
afternonn a conference of county and township officers led by
Mrs. D. W. Thomas, was held. The meeting of 1900 will take
place at Walkerton.

LOCAL DELEGATES RETURN.
W. C. T. U. Pleased Over the
Largest State Convention Yet Held. The South Bend delegates to
the annual convention of the Indiana W. C. T. U., held from Oct.
6 to 10 in Marion, Ind., have returned and are pleased with the
results of the meeting. This was the largest convention
ever held by the W. C. T. U. of Indiana and the First M. E.
church in Marion was crowded with delegates leaving very little
room for visitors. Throughout the building W. C. T. U.
banners decorated the walls and the stars and stripes emblazoned
with the state union's insignia were prominently shown.
Suspended by pure white bands, a likeness of Miss Willard was in
full view of the delegates.
All the delegations were full.
Grant county reported 400 members and 100 more names were added
during the convention. The state has made an increase of
1,000 members since the last convention. The L. T. L.
numbers 200 legions in the state and Allen county took the banner
for legion work. The young woman's branch has a membership
of 445 active and 185 associate being an increase of 216 over
last year's report.
On Friday night Miss Anna Gordon, the
beloved friend of the late Frances Willard and national
superintendent of L. T. L. work, gave an address which was
received with much pleasure. On Saturday it w-----nd that
over 400 delegates were in attendance and it became necessary to
send several delegations to the choir loft.
Mrs. Amanda Whitson, state treasurer,
reported that the receipts for the year were $3,588.77. All
debts are paid and a balance of $335.92 remains in the
treasury. The election of officers Saturday afternoon
resulted in the choice of the following persons: President,
Mrs. Luella F. McWhirter, Indianapolis; vice-president, Miss Mary
Hadley, Bloomington; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Mary Balch,
Indianapolis; recording secretary, Mrs. M. O. Commack, Marion;
treasurer, Mrs. Amanda Whitson, Indianapolis. John G.
Wooley delivered his address Saturday evening to a crowded house.
The event of the convention was the
sermon Sunday afternoon by the national president, Mrs. L. M. N.
Stephens. Mrs. Stephens, the personal friend of Miss
Willard for so many years, has taken up the work where Miss
Willard laid it down. She does not pose as an orator, but
her manner is most charming and she was heard with much pleasure.
South Bend is again represented in the
list of state superintendents, the same two who were appointed
last year being again appointed. Mrs. Katie Wert Holler is
superintendent of Sabbath observance and reported 112
superintendents and 107,232 pages of literature
distributed. She wrote 605 letters and cards during the
year and sent 26 items to the public press. Ninety prayer
meetings were held, 285 sermons preached, 54 Sunday schools
addressed, 1,150 Sabbath pledges signed and 300 signatures
secured to the Sunday rest petitions. At the close of her
report Mrs Holler was presented with a beautiful bouquet of roses
by her superintendents.
Mrs. Almira Staples is state
superintendent of christian citizenship. Her report shows
that 85 sermons were preached, 4,320 pages of literature
distributed, 55 house visits and 464 petitions have been
circulated.
The place of meeting for next year has
not been determined. The rapid growth of the organization
will necessitate its going where large churches can be
secured. These can be found in South Bend.
Relic of Early Days.
Mr. A. D. Johnson, proprietor of
the gravel pit formerly owned by Prof. Schroeder, east of the
city, unearthed a hand made but very heavy iron pump handle
recently while making excavations. The relic was several
feet below the surface and the well in which it was found had
been filled up and sodded over. Nobody appears to know what
particular early settler used the article.
Conferred the Royal Arch Degree.
Mayor M. M. Fisher, of Mishawaka,
grand high priest in Indiana of the Royal Arch Masons, conferred
the Royal Arch degree on three candidates in South Bend lodge,
No. 29, on Tuesday evening. After the work had been
exemplified Mr. Fisher gave a very entertaining talk.
