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 ... (Sorry.  This portion of the paragraph is too dark and out of focus to read.) ... Chapel of Lorreto.  At 7:30 o'clock, Father (Tighe?), of Chicago, delivered an address in St. Angela's hall.  This was directed particularly to the members of the association.

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 Chicago; Mrs. Samuel Tonge and daughter, of New York; Mr. and Mrs. John G.

D., pastor of Grace Methodist church, said the words that made Rose Adele Ream the wife of Charles Edric Huse.  After congratulations a reception was tendered the guests and a sumptuous wedding supper served by the young lady ushers.

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.

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 Beczkiewicz

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.

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.

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.
