ENJOYMENT of the band concert last
evening was seriously marred by the noisy
demonstrations of large number of boys.
This became great nuisance last summer,
and the proper authorities should see that
good order is preserved while the band is
playing.
PRINCIPAL DEBoER's Memorial day ora
tion was one of the best in all respects to
which it has been our privilege to listen.
The exercises of the afternoon at Capital
Hall were made enjoyable also by the vocal
music of the Unitarian choir and the in
strumental music of the band.

cred sufficiently to be taken to her home.

THE firm of Putnam & Marvin is no more
| Mr.. Putnam has wisely concluded to retire
from active business life and enjoy the rest
which he has so we'll earned Marvin &
Sherburne will be the successors to that
widely-known firm, and worthy successors
we believe, they will prove The Marvin -
of the new firm is he who has been SO long
associated in business with Mr.. Putnam
and the "Sherburne " is Frank A., who
has been the head clerk in the store fol
! several years and whose experience as
such should amply qualify him for the re-
sponsibility which will come to him as
junior partner.
THE services in the Church of the Mes
siah last Sunday morning were keyed
throughout to the note of sorrow for the
death of Mrs. Loomis. Prayer sermon
hymns, anthems-all conveyed suggestions
of the departure of one whose life-worlk had
been peculiarly bound up with the life OF
the church. The floral decorations, chiefly
! composed of panses and lilies of the val.
ley, Were prepared by those who loved her
and in their arrangement were reminders OF
! her own fine taste and decorative skill
| Many of her friends from other churches
were in the congregation. At the more
| private communion service in the after
noon the pastor spoke very feelngly and
gratefully of the services rendered to the
church by Mrs. Looms from the time of its
first meetings down almost to the day OF
her death.
