THE YEARS WORK AT STJoHN'S
Rev. T. c. Hudson Gives Quantity
of interesting Statistics In Con-
nection With His Annual
Sermon.

In his annual sermon Sunday the
Rev. T. c. Hudson reported 100 public
services held, and 81 sermons and adj
dresses delivered. During the year be
has baptized ii persons, presented 9 for
confirmation, buried q and married )
couples.
The Church Aid Society have taken in
during the year S399.1S. They have con-
tributed to the furnishings of the rectorv
and have added a storm porch to the
church entrance besides contributing
toward the rector's salary. Their work
is the more commendable from the fact
they have eschewed all questionable
methods of raising money for church
purposes.
To. st. Agnes Guild much credit was
given for the faithfulness with which
they have labored. They have received
from their various enterprises $751;
and have contributed the salary of the
organist, and toward furnishing the
Prophets chamber" in the new rect
DRY. The rector also paid the choir a
high compliment for their efforts in
maintaining an excellent standard OF
church music.
The completion and occupation of the
new rectory was reported. This enter
prise involved preliminary expendi-
ture of $3.50, and though the building IT.
self cost less than 81 600, it represents,
with its fixtures and the improvements
in the church property permanent in
vestment of over 81 200.
A supplementary record for the five
years of the present rectorship includes
70 baptisms, As combinations, % burials,
end SO marriages.
Although not mentioned in his annual
sermon the completion of the parsonage,
as reported, would look as if st. Johns

two brothers, Evan Berry, an attorney
living in Montana, and Harry Berry, of

NORMAL NOTES.

The literary society was not as well
attended last evening as usual. The So
ciety was opened by a Duet by Mr.
Parry and Miss Branham, which was en-
joyed by all. Next was the debate on
the subject SIS it advisable to annex
Canada" Mr.. Stockley and Mr.. Chas.
Shellback spoke for the affirmative; Mr..
KEENAN, and Mr.. Young took the mega
tive side. Both sides made number of
good points. After recess We listened
to a fine instrumental piece by Miss
Maidie Cleveland. The next was read
ing by Miss Fannie Johnson, after which
was an essay on the holidays, by Mr..
Wickershiem, which showed careful
study and was we'll read. Something
original" by Mr.. Geddes was fair. The
critics report was the next on the pro-
gam, and to our mind was the best of
the evening, especially when he refer
red to those making noise. The young
gentlemen who attend and make the
disturbance are old and large enough to
know better, and should try and do bet
ter next time. As one who is not inter-
ested, we would also suggest that the
executive committee make the programs
more interesting in the future than they
have been in the past. Itwould greatly
please the audience and be a means of
making the society better attended.
There is always chance to improve.
1t was with regret Yesterday that We
learned that Mr.. +. ]. Scott has resign
ed his position as business manager of
the Student. Mr.. Scott did great deal
in starting the Student, and was always
looking out for the interest of the paper.
We have not learned who is to be his
successor, but hope it will be one that
will take as much interest in the paper
as he did.
The literary exercises last Monday
morning were very interesting. AS it
was Whittier's birthday Miss Jorgensen
read an excellent essay on Whittier. A.
FL. True had a recitation from Whittier.
Prof. McCleary spoke of the visit he had
with him, and of his home, the old
homestead, etc. He also exhibited a
letter that he received from the poet
some three years old. 1t was curiosity
to see, and al the students should avail
themselves of the opportunity to see
this valuable letter.
Miss Hunt, one of the young lady
teachers of the high school, attended
devotional exercises Wednesday morn
ing.
The Student made it's appearance this
week. 1t is as spicy and newsy as ever.
Miss Shaver enjoyed visit from her
sister to-day.
Miss Pendergast went home today.

"She's Much Older Than Her Hus-

We heard young girl make the above
remark the other day about lady with
whom we are slightly acquainted. 1t was
not true, yet the lady in question actual
lv does look five years older than her
husband, although she is really several
years his junior. She Is prematurely
aged, and functional arrangement is the
cause. DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton would cure her, and should be re-
commended to her, and Ito all others
who are in the same condition. If the
reader of this chances to be similar suf-
ferer, let her get the Prescription" 1t

ing symptoms which have made life a

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
JANEsyILLE, Dec,

JANEsvILLE, Dec. Is.
A very bad break down took place in
Jennison Bros. d Co.'S Banner Mill yes
terday about 2 p. M, which will shut the
mill down for a month or more and ne
cessitate the purchase of nearly new
engine. The accident was caused by
the breaking OF the connecting bolt in
the cross head. This giving draw let
the follower in the cylinder, with 100
pound steam behind it, come against
the head of the cylinder with such force
that it smashed through the cylinder,
and breaking other parts of the engine.
The loss will be not less than $500 on the
engine. Messrs. Jennison Bros. will
start their other mill now, which had
been shut down for the season.
