The home concert by the ST. Cecilia club
last Thursday evening, at Mrs Uri l..
Lamprey's for the benefit of the poor.
was one of the pleasantest musical eve
nings ever yet given by the club. The
pleasure of dong good is one that never
wears out, and that fact may have had
something to do with the clubs happy

use of all knowledge is this, that we
should dedicate that reason or gift which
was given us by God to the use and I'D
vantage of man"
The selections for the different instru-
ments were very fine, the solos on the

rather slow work, I determined to 90 on the

This afternoon, from half past to 6
O'Clock, Unity church club room will be
open to all who may desire the pleasure
of spending an hour or two in reading
the current magazines and representative
newspapers of the day. This is the out
growth of discussion as to what the
church could do, outside of their Sunday
services, in the direction of the city help
side, in the use of their new building.
There is hope in this movement, to ex-
tend its influence so as eventually to Sc
cure the opening of the City library, and
perhaps other organizations, to provide
places where Sunday afternoon can be
spent profitably and entertainingly, by
those whose surroundings and clrcum-
stances give them no other opportunity
of reading. There have been secured for
the opening to-day about sixty of the
latest magazines and representative news
papers, and the number will be increased
as occasion may require. The room will
be open every Sunday afternoon at the
time designated; free to all who can OBJ
serve the few simple rules requisite to
give quiet and proper department, so
that the privileges of the room may be
enjoyed. The reading room is in the

DEBATING CLUB.

Interesting Exercises at the High School
Capital Punishment.
One of the most pleasant, and at the
same time instructive and commendable
features connected with the system of
public instruction in st. Paul, IS the de-
batting club of the high school, which is
fulfilling splendid mission in training
the minds and crystalizing into harmon
ious order the ideas Of the pupils con-
nected Herewith.
To Prof. Campbell and his staff of eff
Gent assistants is to be attributed the en-
enlargement and fourishing condition
of the club and the deep interest mani
tested in the proceedings by the pupils.
The sessions of the club are held once
q month, the noon hour being set aside
on stated days for the meeting.
One of these interesting meetings was
held last Friday, and by special invitation
a GLOBE reporter was accorded seat
among the elect, and right well did he
enjoy the proceedings.
The meeting was presided oyer by Mr..
John Blakely, the president, and the adj
mirable manner IN which he discharged
the duties of the chair would have put
many more august assembly Of older
heads to the blush.
The strictest order was maintained and
the rulings we're perfectly impartial and
marked by knowledge of parliamentary
lore that was really surprising.
This feature was alike notable through
out the debate, all the pupils being well
up In tactics
The subject on Friday was "Capital
Punishment Addresses were made
pro and con by designated leaders and
general discussion followed. The leaders
were Mr.. A. Frizell, leader, and Mr.. Ben
Knauft, first speaker, for the affirmative
and Mr.. Louis Lathmesen and Ed Parish
for the negative.
In dealing with the subject the speak
ers showed grasp and research very
thorough and admirable. The discussion
was participated in by the club at large,
and the speeches would have reflected
credit upon any assembly. The question
of settlement was left to the club at large.
and. by rising vote, it was decided in
favor of the extreme penalty. After the
discussion, musical selections were given
by Miss Griggs and Miss Conley, and a
violin solo was performed by Mr.. Ed.
Fink. The debates are very interesting
and should be encouraged.
