ST.. PAULss III. E. SUNDAY SCHOOL AT
WILLIAMS HA1L.-The entertainment t
of the st. Paul's NJ E. Sunday School
on Thursday evening Of last week was
favored with a crowded house. The
Programme was as follows: Prayer;
Chorua-s'The Day is Done, Let Night
be Gay Could orchestra-se M'Anri
Ancor- VerRl; Tableaux-Day and
Night, Guardian Angel; Chorus-Ho-
sanna, from Fresh Leaves; Tableaux-
Paganism, Christianity; Chorus
Nights Shade No Longer,-Rossiaf
Tableaux- Waiting for Father, The
Seamstress; Semi-chorus-Feed my
Lambs; TabIeaux-Spirit of the Times
"a burlesque of the Womanis Rights
moyement); Duett and Choruss Tab
'Ieaux-The Valentine; Orchestra
MarseilIaise; Chorus, from Fra DiarolO;
TabIeaux-Hand Writing on the Wall;
ACherus, Semi-chorus and Solo-The
SSIfin Call; Pantomime and Grand FL
E2ale-Power Of the Flag; an Ameri-
can citizen about to be executed by
Spanish authorities in Cuba, is saved by
the timely interposition Of the United
States Consul who throws over the con-
demned the American flag upon which
the troops appointed to do the work Of
execution dare not fire.
An important addition to the musi- |
cal part of the entertainment was
made by Messrs. o'Kane, Donavin,
Hyatt and Jennings who volunteered, |
by request, two comic songs which re-
ceived the enthusiastic plaudits of the |
audience. These voluntaries-''CaIl |
Johnp and New England Farmer
were capitally rendered, and in their
execution gave indications Of rare ca
pacity Tor vocal entertainment. It is |
evident that this ''quartette," with |
such acquisitions as it might command /
could make some valuable additions /
to the musical entertainments of the /
winter if it were so disposed.
The tab1eaux were finely prepared
but owing to the imperfect illumina-
5ion were not brought out with suff-
eient distiDctness. On the second
evening the light was better and the
much finer. The en-
tainment was repeated on Friday eve
ming when, notwithstanding the disa-
greeable weather, the hall was again
filled. The programme was almost
wholly changed and gave great satis-
faction.

THE SToRM.-One of the most violent
rain storms experienced in this vicini-
lty for many years occurred on Sunday
night last. The rain was accompanied
by lightning and thunder, and for
hours the skies seemed dissolvingin q
second de1uge. The storm seems to
have ranged over a wide extent of
country and from the accounts which
have reached us we should judge that
q large amount OF damage had been
done. The railways especially have
suffered to a great extent, the tracks
being submerged and the embank-
M ents and bridges washed away ,caus-
ing serious interruptions of travel and
communication. Up to this writing
"wednesday afternoon) no mail has
been received from Cincinnati since
Saturday last.
The creeks and rivers ofthis county,
already bank full from the effects ofthe
late rains, were swollen almost beyond
precedent. A great deal offencing has
been swept away but we hear of no
graver Instances of d damage.
SIngular1y enough, as sequel to this
violent freak of the elements, we are
to-day Wednesday, having delightful
weather.

THE OPERA HoUsE.-The vast diff
ference between Judge Williams new
hall and the audienee-rOom accommo-
tions to which. Delaware has been ae-
customed, has not yet ceased to be an
agreeable novelty. The hall is a real
luxury to the amusement-going pub
lie, and an addition to the improve
ments of Delaware which cannot be too
highly appreciated. We know of no
town in the State, of the same size,
provided with a hall so commodious,
beautiful and comfortable. 1t Is a
matter Of public pride that we can now
offer attractions 50 superior in this
respect as TO deserve the highest class
of entertainments, and we predict that
those which viii hereafter fall to us,
especially in the way ofemusic and the
drama, viii be much superior, both in
merit and patronage, TO what we have
been accustomed to.
The new hall will hereafter be known
as the Opera House, a designation for
which it was originally planned and
one appropriate to its style and pur-
poses.

A NEW RArtRoAD.-rhe Columbus

A NEW RAILRoAD.-The Columbus
Journal of Wednesday says:
Mr.. Jesse r. Straughan, Civil Engi-
neer, was in the city yesterday, full of
railroad plans and propositions as usu-
al. He has completed the survey of
the proposed line of railroad from
Toledo to Crestiine, and states that
the required capital stock is subscrib-
ed. The question now under consid-
Grafton is how to reach the Holmes
county coal region, and the object of
Mr.. Straughanis present tour is to eff
feet some combination by which the
connection may be made. Running
down the Cleveland road from Crestline
to Delaware, the new road from Della
ware to Millersburg, in Homles Coun-
ty, ViG Mount Vernon, can be used as
a link.
This road, it is said will be completed
within a year.

Treasury experts themselves to detect them.
They are Ofthe same size as the genuine, are
printed on first class paper, are correctly
numbered, and are so Exceedingly well ex-
ecuted In every respect that they cannot
possibly be detected even BY the aid Of a
powerful microscope. We have them put
up In packages of $500 each. We will sell
yOu $500 OF the 81 or s. bills for 500: 81 600 for
$3.50 We shall charge you 500 per 81 200 on
the So bills as the engraving Of the plate

than so at time in place. You can well
afford to remit the balance in two hours,
but we VIII give you plenty of time You
may form some idea about the quality Of
toek by reading the 1ncloSed cut from the

THE BLIND GoDDEss.-The Goddess
of Justice, intended for the cupo1a of
the new Court House, now occupies
private apartments in that building,
where we had the pleasure recently Of
paying our respects to her majesty
The figure is a very graceful one, and
something of novelty Of its kind. It
is ~ feet in height, exclusive of the
pedestal, large gilt ball two feet in
diameter. It is made Of sheet copper,
finished in stone color, and is said to
be the only one Of the kind in the
Union. The figure grasps a sword in
the right hand, and eIevates a pair Of
emblematic balances in the left. The
sword and balances. are finished In gilt,
the rest Of the figure, as we have said,
in stone. The drapery and attitude are
graceful, and we think win stand the
test of criticism, The perfect test of
its finish and appropriateness will be
its appearance from the pinnacle it is
destined to occupy, and to which, we
understand, ie will be shortly ele-
waited. The statue was manufactured
by an eastern firm, of which Mr.. B. Fl.
Willis, of Delaware, is agent for
the Western States. It's cost was 1920.
