Its Guests Were 140 Massillon Newsboys.FEAST AT THE HOTEL SAILER.Mayor Bel! Presided and the Rev. George B. Darsie, of the Christian Church, Talked to the Boys — Afterwards the Guests Attended a Matinee Performance at the Armory.) Perhaps it was owing- to the presence of Mayor Bell, chief city magistrate, hut he this as it may, The Independent’s tenth annual newsboys' dinner given at the Hotel Sailer on Monday at 1 o'clock was what might he called “the best behaved dinner of any so far given. There were one hundred and forty guests. They marched to their seats to the music of Howald's orchestra as quietlt;y as though they were about to dine with the President. As the benediction was pronounced the silence was so intense that you could have heard a pin drop, and during the subsequent address delivered by the Rev. George B. Darsie, pastor of the Christian church, every boy was quiet and attentive. Mayor Bell, Mr. Darsie, the latter’s brother, Burns Darsie, of Pittsburg, and members of The Independent’s business and reportorial staffs, dined with the boys. After the dinner the diners repaired to the Armory where they were The Independent’s guests at a matinee performance of “The Denver Express.It was just 5) o’clock when the first guest arrived at The Independent office in North Erie street. His face shone, his hair was parted straight as a die and he wore a new necktie. “How soon will it be time for dinner?” he asked, and was cheered by the intelligence that he had only four hours to wait. By 10 o’clock the rest of the party began to arrive by twos and threes, and at 10:00 they began to register. Each boy wrote his own name and age with a soft pencil. Conrad Keefer, aged 0, couldn’t write but he could print and his signature was easier to read than any of the others. The letters were an inch long. Roland Humphrey, W years old, put himself down as aged . Later lie returned and explained that the figures represented the number of his residence.A A. 1 Ll . lt;i L A -T M1 ■ ...... iready put savings to the amount of $200 in the bank, and of a boy in Pittsburg: who every day deposits seventy-five cents out of his earnings. The address was in plain, simple language which the boys could understand, and was full of wholesome truths.
