Thirty -fourth Annual Sociable and Ball Under Auspices of the Hibernian -Benevolent Society. The thirty-fourth annual sociable, and ball giveu under the auspices of the Hibernian Benevolent Society last night was attended with a large meas ure of success and in many points it excelled in brilliancy and pleasure giving all similar events in former years- I The hall on the third floor of the building j occupied by the Hibernian Society was tastefully and profusely decorated with bamboo, ferns, Ameri can and Irish colors, flags and banners and upon the tables in front of the hall, where seasonable . and delight ful refreshments were served, there were many potted plants and Easter lilies, which made , the apart ment both pretty and refreshing. The hall was well lighted and there was ample floor space for dancing, which was participated in by about seventy -five couples. The music was furnished by the Italian band of the city and the couples were led through the mazes of the dance until well nigh 2 o'clock this morning. Messrs. Wm. Sheehan, Jr., and Dr.T. B. Carroll were the floor managers and to their competency in this capaity is due much of the success of the dance. An account of the sociable would be incomplete without a reference to the capable and efficient management of the refreshment committee, which was composed of ladies, as follows, Mrs. M. O'Brien (chairman), Mrs. James Mad den,' Mrs. Timothy Donlan, Mrs. Win. Flanagan, Mrs. John Meier, Mrs. Walter G. Furlong, Mrs: Thos. Quin livan. Miss Mary C. Darby, Miss Ellen Sheehan and Miss Alice Torpy. Each one vied with another in making it pleasant for their guests and them selves and a delightful affair it was in their apartment. The gentlemen composing the ar rangement committee have already been published and then there were various sub-committees, each of which admirably performed the duties as signed. The annual sociable and dance of 1900 will go down in the.memories of those in attendance as one of the most eminently successful in years. FRED H0WLAND PARDONED.

Wilmington is Pushing Wrights ville's Advantages as Ideal Location for Camp. COMMITTEE VISITED BEACH. Chsmber of CommerceMembers, Property Owners and the Captain of W. L. I. FoundTbree Suitable Places on tbe Beach and Sound. The Chamber of Commerce and other commercial bodies of ; the city, the military organizations and citizens generally are going to put forward every effort to have the State Guard encampment at Wrightsville this year and preparations to this end have begun in a substantial way. Star readers will remember that at a recent meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce, President W. E. Worth brought the matter to the attention of members and the idea of having the "soldiers" with us this Summer met with enthusiastic favor from the very beginning and Mr. Worth was instructed to address a communication to Col. Francis A Macon, Quartermaster General of tha N. C. State Guard, inviting him' to Wilmington to look the situation over. Mr. Worth has been in corres pondence with Col. Macon and it is very probable that he will be here in a very short time to investigate Wil mington's claim for having- the en campment at Wrightsville. That everything should be in defi nite shape and that Col. Macon upon his arrival here may be presented with the facts in a convincing manner, a committee consisting of Mr. W. E.' Worth, Col. W. A. Johnson, Col. Walker Taylor, Mr. W. A. Wright, Mr. George R. French and Capt. C.H. White, of the Wilmington Light In fantry, yesterday visited the beach and sound and inspected a number of ideal locations for the camp and talked the matter over among themselves. The first spot inspected was the open plain at the extreme southern end of the beach. Then, too, the old camp grounds about the "hammocks" were gone over and both were found admir ably adapted for camp purposes, drill grounds, etc The party next went back to the sound and examined a location on Mr. W. A. Wright's place. Each of the grounds visited was found to be' in excellent condition and it is believed that upon the occasion of Col. Macon's visit here he will unhesi tatingly decided to bring the Guard to Wrightsville. Wilmington is anxious to entertain "the boys" and it is balieved in turn that they are anxious to come here. BUTLER TALKING "ROT." Says the Rep.Pop. Conference Could Not Af ree on Fusion in North Carolina. There Will Be Only One Ticket. Special Star Telegram. WASHUfaTOir, D. C, April 16. Al though the conference of Republicans and Populists, held in this city, could not agree to a fusion, it is very proba ble tbat there will be but one ticket nominated. Senator Butler to-day, in speaking of the conference, said he was very sorry they had not reached an agree ment. He saidjthat the Populists pre sented the name of Cyrus Thompson for Governor, but that Senator Pritch ard and his friends wished Congress man Linney nominated, and in sup port of their claim set up the fact that they polled the largest vote and were entitled, to the head of the ticket The Senator said this point kept them in session two days; that he. tried to impress upon the Republicans that without fusion the Democrats were sure to win, but that his argu ment was of no avail. That ' there were other minor disagreements, but none that couldnot have been readily adjusted proyided they could have agreed on the governorship. He said further.that the Populists would nomi nate Dr. Cyrus Thompson at their con vention and ask the Republicans to endorse his nomination and divide the rest of the ticket. Prominent Democrats here do not take any stock in the above statement given out by Senator Butler or in the similar one given out to by EL C. Dockery, but say that this is merely given out to divert attention and gain certain votes that they would other wise lose. A member' of the N. C. delegation today said: 'This all sounds very nice, but it is the rankest kind of rot They have no . possible chance without fusion and are fully aware of the fact Then with fusion I do not think that any of them are over zealous to make the ' sacrifice. Senator Butler had better smoke up." Naval Reserves Ball Game. A meeting of the base ball contin gent of the Wilmington Division Na val Reserves will he held in the armory this evening after boat drill. It is pro posed to elect a captain, manager and other officers of the team and to make arrangements for the game withthe Atlantic Coast Line team, a reference to theorganization of which was made in these columns Sunday morning.
