PRESENTED WITH BASKETS OF FLOWERS. DotVolf Supper sun! Kilwin Knuwles Compliment (lie Columbia. A pleasant diversion from tho usual course of events took place last nicht at tho Columbia theater, whon Mayor Boody, on behalf of the committee of women having charge of tho Children's Christmas festival which took, place at the theater Monday morning, presented DoWolf Hooper, tlio actor, and Eriwin Knewles, proprietor of the theater, each with handsome basket of Iiowers. The original idea was to hold the festival at the Clermont avenue riak, but at the last minute ihis plan had to ba abandoned, and Mr. Kuowies helped tho com mittoe out ot a disagreeable position by offering tlio use of his theater.

DeWolf Hopper consented to act Hauta Claus. For this thoy, wero last night publicly rewarded. After tho ilrst act of "Panjandrum'' the en tiro company was aabomblod on the stage, and Mayor Boody, who. with nis party occupier! a box on the loft of the stage, made the presentation in a neat little speech. Mr.

Boody said: "Pedro just said a minute aco to Luiz after bis entrance on the horns of th i bull: 'If thero is any more of me out there, will yon bavo tho kindnessto bringit So say we all. If there is any more of Mr. Hopper and his associates outside as we saw them Monday morning, let sonio one go out and bring them in. You have all hoard ot the good things done hore on Christmas morning and the diffli ulties undor whieh the festival was carried. Nevertheless, several thousand children wore made liappy.

An invisible curtain went up rovealing to many young hearts now conditions and now hopes, and that curtain will never go down. In expressing thanks to tho proprietor ami Mr. Hopper. I do so on behalf of tho ladies who gave so unsparingly of their timo and labor and whoso names I would like to mention, hut a llnser has beon placed on my lips at this point and I will bavo to remain silent. But no seal has been placed on the lips or the young children who wero with us Christmas morning and their rejoicings will be hoard for many years.

I now tender to Mr. KnowleH and to Mr. Ho poor tho thanks ot tho ladies kindly expressed iu thosa iiowers. Mr. Hopper responded in nn earnest speech.

disclaiming any credit for his share in the work, and saying that his conscience amply rewarded him for his trouble. "I really do not deserve this great honor," continued Mr. Hopper, "but the good ladies who receive no reward but tho reward of thoir own conscience should be thus publicly honored. I assure vou. it is the greatest honor over conferred upon mo In all my professional career.

In my profession. whore life is seldom taken seriously, a man's conscience rewards him for unv little act of kindness he may do." DANCED AT THE POL'CII GAfjLEflY. Xlie first thu CJill i.scmlijids a.
