THE LAST ACT


Speaker Randall Lays Down the Gavel.
In the House at Washington on Friday
Mr.. Conger said that it was with pleasure
he was permitted to offer the following
resolution "That the thanks Of the
House are due and rendered the Hon.
Samuel J. Randall. the speaker, for the
ability, fairness and courtesy with which he
has presided over its deliberations during
the Forty sixth Congress" This resolu-
was adopted, the only negative being cast
by Mr.. Young.
Mr.. Randall. at high noon, said !: ''The
work OF the Forty-sixth Congress is done.

SATURDAY EVENINGS SHOW.
a Very Good Minstrel and Variety Entc
fafNlnent.

tainment.
On Saturday 4 minstrel and specially
entertainment was given in the oper;,
house. Nearly all of the talent in the city
appeared and they gave a first-class show
The audience was small. In the first
part George Myers. Charley Shay, John
Retallick and Dan. Clemmens appeared on
the ends, attired in bran new suits each
sang a song in good style and kept the
audience laughing at their new Jokes.
George w. POntz and J. \. Troyer each
sang a ballad.
The second act of the performance began
with Coleman and GoOdman's song and
dance, which would have done credit to
professionals. Jack COnner's Dutch lecture
Oh politics was certainly very funny and he
received lots of applause. Wilmer and
Fingers bar act was very creditable and
later in the evening they, together with
Barnhart, gave an excellent exhibition of
tumbling. The musical act of Clemmens
and Retallick as usual was very fine, the
former doing his drum solo in good STYLE
Retallick afterwards appeared with his
banjo, which he knows how to play, and
he entertained the audience we'll for a
time. Shay, Myers and Daily appear
cd in Il laughablc sketch entitled "The
Stage Struck Heroes" and the two for-
mer sang medley, composed of eleven
different songs, in inimitable style. The
sketch of "Thc Men of Nerve was very
we'll acted by Tom Daily and George W.
GOOdhart, and there was some lively spar
ring in it. Tommy Mack appeared in his
popular Irish act, making a change from
rough to neat, and as usual he made hit.
Coulman and Templeton's clog was very
neat. The show closed with a very funny
sketch entitled Scenes in Marietta or,
How We Got Left.''

low the knee, from the effects o! which he

Those Resolutions.

We have plainly declared our opinion
of the folly of DR.. Brooks; but we are
bound to declare that it is quite Outdone
by that of the board of trustees of the
Millersville normal school. These gen.
tiemen enjoy in the community the repu-
taticn of being sensible men: and
we would not venture to express
our conviction that they had not
so acted in this matter if we
thought there could be the slightest
doubt of it. We would still refrain from
criticism if we thought their action
would escape the derisiOn Of the public
but it is so conspicuously absurd that
there is no hope at all that universal
guffaw will not arise from every one who
reads their remarkable resolution and
takes interest enough in the subject to
give it the slightest thought.
The board of trustees reiIEtstc Lam
gan "by The advice and ut the request
Of DR.. Brooks, who prefers that his ac-
tion should be reversed by the board of
| trustees. rather than have it thought
that he would do injustice to one OF the
students Why did not nl. Brooks
himself, then, reverse his action {:
Did he want the trustees TO express their
''Opinion'' that injustice had been done to
LaAgan'? Then did they not express it
in reinStat!ng him If SO, why do they
require from him a public apology
9 for not complying with his request and
for using disrespectful language towards
him -
And why do they call il q request >
when the evidence shows it was com
mand and when their second resolu-
ton atlirms that - the principal has
and shall exercise authority over bis
pupils not only at the school but outside
Of it," The whole case between DIR.
Brooks and Mr.. Langan hinges on the
authority of the principal TO command
a student on the streets OF Lancaster
to get ouj of IL street car. III DR.. Brooks
has authority at his own sweet will and
pleasure 10 order around the students

the trustees could give it to him, TO or

Rev. st. John ut Salem Church.

In accordance with announcement, Rev.
John G. st. John, of Brooklyn. N. V,
preached ut Salem church yesterday mOrr-
ing and evening. The preacher appears to
be less than 20 years Of age, but is pol
ished clOcutionist and :. scholar of high
attainmcnts. He is man of fine presence.
about six feet in height, very graceful, has
Il fine delivery and speaks with earnest
ness. His audience in the morning was
larger than is usually seen at Salem, and
in the evening was greatly increased in
numbers. The reverend orators text in
the morning was the first clause Of the
3lst verse and the 25th chapter of st.
Matthew, and his evenin. text was the
second clause Of the same verse, the whole
Verse being, - When the son Of man shall
come in Lis glory and all the holy angels
with him-then shall he sit upon the
throne of his glory" The theme, the last
judgment, afforded fine scope for the i'm
asination Of the orator, who presented it
i'll colors awfully sublime and realistic. So
well pleased with the preacher were the
members of Salem church, that efforts
will be made to secure him as their pastor.
However these efforts may result Rev. St.
John will preach for them next Sunday.
