EDrroR JOURNAL. The Good Tenn
plars' exhibition came off at the appointed
time, at the church, which was crowded
with eager listeners and lookera-on. A
band Of genuine imitation) Ethiopian
mi l with twotYiolins, bass yiol, bones,
tam1borine and triangle furnished the music
between scenes. I will attempt to give you
an idea Of the programme.
H. ~. j-.. PART FIRST. & .s5;.z.
Stump speech from Mr.. n. r. Ranney
which, not being on the list, was all the,
more appreciated, because unlocked for.
Mr.. Ranney has few equals as a speakist.
Opening pisce-''The Lords Prayer" +
Iableau -Addella Townshend, kneeline.
prayer chanted behind the scenes by Ell.
Woodwork. This piece was excellent
and the wordswere very distinctly enunciat-

Temperance Dialogue The
performers were Alb. and Charlie Smell,
Ella Woodwork, Lizzie Blackburn,
Harry Locke and Ferbert Howard.
Thet title of this piece explains itself,
and the acting was superb, except a
slight break in the last scene. .s.-
song-'The Drunkard's child" by Liz.
zie Blackburn, in character dress. This
was plaintive song, addressed to ! gentle
man on the stage personating the father,
and the singer, was iust enough embarrassed
g give effect to the song. 1t world have
taken great deal Of training to enable one
80 young to act the involuntary hesitation.
song-;The Little Colleen" by May
Fuller. This was not ezcelled, if. it was
equaled, by any piece on the programme.
One would think she. was a veritable
Daughter of Erin" y,
The Rainbow"-I cannot do justice to
this piece. 1t must be seen and heard 10 he
appreciated at its full value. Seven little
girls, Fiorry Garvin, Alice Benson, Bertha
Sanborn, Maud Porter, Lizzie Blackburn,
Ida s1elding and Bertha Austin, dressed
in WIKI with colored aprons and bows of
the seven principal .colors, arranged in
Rainbow order, stood in the form of an
arc Of q circle, and sang several songs, re-
peated the Cords Prayer s'The Beati-
tudes," and other Scripture Rotations in
concert, and in such exact time that it was
as'one voice, and 80 distinctly as to be un-
derstood in every part of the room. 1t is
evi evident that MI. Garvin gave considerable
time to their training. j.
song-"Silver Threads among the Gold"
by Ella Woodwork, assisted on the cho-
rus by Adella Townsend and the Howa I'd

: HThe Girls at the springs."-The part
OF GRANDMOTHER Garrulous' was well sus-
tanned by Aggie Mulholland, who had the
greater part of the work. If we had more
such sensible grand mothers in real life
to criticise false foreign counts and FASH
ionable "Flora McFllmseys,,' it would m
prove society. .......-
