Through arlisapprehension VIC advertised
In our last issue that the price of admission
to the Cofeld Guards entertainment would
be so cents, whereas the figure decided
upon by the committee Of arrangements is
ST. It was considered essential that the
latter price should be charged lis the ex-
penses incurred in preparing the tableaux
and other features of the affair are unusu-
ally heavy and it is feared that if tickets
were sold at 10 cents each the proceeds
would leave the Guards little if any margin
OF profit. Considering this fact and that
the full worth Of the admission fee will be
afforded by the extraordinary attractions to
be presented, we think the public should
reward the efforts of tho Guards to please
by giving them full house. There will be
a mystic drill, beautiful tableaux virant,
vocal and instrumental music, screaming
military farce that is OVERLOOKING with roll
licking fun, and brilliant military ball or
soif6e dd'asante to conclude the evenings
entertainment. No heavy supper will be
prepared, but the lady friends of the Guards
will dispense ice cream, cakes, lemonade,
punches, coffee and snch light refreshments
at very reasonable prices. Surely dollar
can not be considered a heavy charge for
admission under the circumstances.

OUR VILLAGE BABCOOKS,

The members of Ascension Hook and
Ladder Company are naturally delighted
with the achievement of their Babcock ex-
tinguishers at the fire of Saturday last.
This Was the first opportunity afforded for
practical display of the efficacy OF the two
machines, and the result has met the most
sangpine expectations. As we said last
week, it is generally conceded that the Bah
cocks were the means of saving the Naza-
rene Church from destruction, and had this
structure fallen prey to the flames, other
buildings in the vicinity would almost I'M
doubtedly have shared the same fate, as the
church is two stories high and would have
burned like & Undertook.
The e1tinguishers are of the pattern
known as Village Babcocks, holding sixty
gallons each, and throwing a stream to a
height of about forty feet during the space
of from seven to ten minutes. They can
be readily recharged when elnptied and an
extra bottle Of acid is always carried With
each apparatus. Of course they are mainly
useful at the outbreak of a fire or in pro-
tecting Threatened buildings, and it is
always an object to have them on hand at
the scene OF danger at the earliest possible
moment. Persons who wish to render as
slstance at fires can do SO most effectuaily
by repairing to the truck house when an
alarm is sounded and assisting the men,
bers OF the Hook and Ladder Company In
getting their Babcochs and truck promptly
i'll position at the threatened point. With
such defective water supply as that our
town possesses at present, the steam fire
engine must be classed as secondary con-
slderation and is deprived of the opportu
mites for the effective service of which it
is capable when it has plenty of water to
work with. After a while, when Donaldson
vile IS iloney-conhed with fire wells Or.
better still, provided with water-works, we
will be in an admirable position to cope
with the fiery element and shall confidently
look for handsome work from the Phoenix
steamer, but under existing conditions our
mann reliance is in the Babcocks, the
bucket companies and the implements OF
tho Hook and Ladder Company.
The work done by the Village Babcoclzs
last Saturday has well repaid the conmu-
nifty for tho cost Of the machines and has
demonstrated the good judgment of the
men and the organization whose efforts
were instrumental in providing the town
With these useful aIparatuses.

marble pillars intended for the Church OF
the Sacred Heart of Jesus OF this town.
The group consists of sixteen; single and
four double columns, wrought in the cc1n-
posite style Of architecture, the pedestal
being of massive light gray granite termed
Lossodt Trieste, the shafts are of beautiful
marble Of the style and similar to the red
Of Verona of Italy, resembling the Yer
mont granite of the steps of the National
Capitol in Washington, D. C. The caps,
though corresponding with The original
style, have wrought on them different
varieties of foliage and fruit, Two kinds of
each, such as the olive, fig, grape, oak,
myrtle, laurel, etc, with their respective
fruit and flowers: some are adorned with
sculptures of eagles, approaching thereby
the composite renaissance style, mixing it in
all one of the prettiest works that has ever

draws the following amusing, but apt com.
parlson between DR.. c. AeLaae's Hn"itlgs,
prepared by Fleming Bros, of Pittsburgh,
Pa, and ferret.
"a ferret when placed at the entrance ofa
rat hole, enters the aperture, travels along
the passage, seizes upon the rat, extermin-
ates his existence and draws the animals
deflnct carcass to the light. And In like
manner have found DR.. o. NeLdHs's Vermt,
h0e to operate upon worms, those dreadful
and dangerousto rmentors OF children. This
remedy, like the ferret, enters the. aperture
Of the mouth, travels down the gillet, hunts
round the stomach and lays hold OF the
sweeps clean their den, and carries their
carcasses clear out Of the system. This,
at least, has been the effect OF the Vermi-
fuge upon my children"
