Show : anaconda. ; t -f 4 4- 4- (Correspondence Intermountain Catholic.) Ladies' night at the Catholic club was largely attended and all present passed a very pleasant evening. Fully 150 ladies la-dies were present and the young gentlemen gen-tlemen of the club saw to it that they were well entertained. The early part of the evening was given up to cards. A very lively debate on the following interesting subject followed: "Resolved, "Resolv-ed, That in this part of the world, under un-der present circumstances, it is better for a man to remain single and die a bachelor than to enter the matrimonial matrimon-ial state." The affirmative side of the question was upheld by Rev. C. G. Follet and D. H. Morgan. Both speakers confessed that they reluctantly assumed that side of the question, but it is only right to say that they sustained their side of the argument -with considerable skill and marked ability. The remarks and witticisms wit-ticisms of Father Follet in particular were immensely enjoyed by the audience, audi-ence, and evoked considerable laughter and well merited applause. The negative nega-tive side of the question was ably supported sup-ported by Messrs. McCaffery, T. J. Murphy, Mur-phy, Vincent McMullen, Mrs. James P. Foley, Mrs. T. J. Fleming, Miss Mary A. McLaughlin and Miss Nellie Shea, ,They drew a delightful picture of the pleasures of matrimonial slife, the unspeakable un-speakable beatitude of wedded lives. I and that unalloyed happiness which i only belongs to the union of two loving j young hearts. One young lady orator j in particular aroused considerable enthusiasm en-thusiasm and literally brought down the house by the graphic description she gave of the sad and forlorn condition condi-tion of Adam in the garden of Eden during his bachelor days. As Bhe told of the trying ordeal of poor Adam being obliged to get up in the early morn to prepare his frugal meal it was noticed that several confirmed con-firmed old bachelors in the audience were seen to bow their heads and brush away a sympathetic tear at the thought of the great progenitor of the human race being obliged to cook slapjacks slap-jacks for his breakfast. The spectacle was indeed most pathetic pa-thetic and forcibly brought to. the minds of several that memorable scene described in the writings of Mark Twain, where he shed tears over the tomb of Adam. The debate was finally decided by nearly unanimous vote in favor of the negative side of the question. ques-tion.
