A Town Hall In Sight.

We feel inclined to make one more
proposition.
We believe town hall is now with
in easy reach 1t has never been i'm
possible or impracticable. A lack of
leadership is all that has defeated it.
But we now propose a plan that
may almost dispense with leadership
or ready capital.
A Building Association is just
starting-why may not dozen men
organize a company, take one share
each of stock, put up the hall at once,
and take seven or eight years to pay
fc7it?
r Or, let the company borrow the
stock as a company, and such assess
ments be levied from time to time as
are necessary to pay the dues.
Are there not a dozen men in town
who would be glad to go into such a
scheme2
Are there not forty?
Is it not privilege to get into
such an enterprise?
We venture that the income of the
hall will in seven OF eight years near
ly balance the cost of the hail. But
to this ought to be added the privi-
leges which stock holder might
have in the matter of free tickets.
At the end of seven or eight years
then stock holders would have paid
for the hall without missing the
money and would own building
that would probably sell for more
than it cost.
We think we could name dozen
men who will take stock in this
proposition. We think we could
name dozen more who would be sor-
ry to be shut out. We only want a list
of names so as to determine the
| priority Of the applications, and we
venture to name G. M..John as the
man who shall receive the names,
determine their priority, and call
them together for organization when
not less than dozen are on the list.
The simple proposition is, will you
be one of company to borrow money
from the Building Association to
build town hall? The amount the
character, and location of the hall,
and all other details are to be de-
termined after the company is organ
| lied.

The NJ. 4. Sunday school orches-
ira was organized for the purpose
that the name implies, but Of late
months it's services have been en-
gagged on various occasions outside
the original role. 1t is right to have
a Sunday school orchestra, but never
theless great many persons will be
much disappointed to learn that by
late edict of that organization nc
music will be forthcoming from il
but where it was first intended to be,
namely, in the Sunday school. The
orchestra is the best ever in Morgan

The Red Tape Nuisance

There is lady living on the North
Side who, rightly or wrongley, is full of
Indignation at certain express com
pany. A month ago she received a pos
tai card, stating that there was a package
in the office addressed to her. Anticipa-
ting testimonial benefit from some
thoughtful friend, she called for the
package and presented the card. But the
agent wasn't ready TO give it up until he
learr d some OF the particulars.
Were you expecting package?' he
asked, in the usual stereotyped way.
The lady admitted she held herself to
such occurrences.
From where V ere you expecting one?"
asked the agent.

Dancing at Eigh:y-Five.

The island of Nantucket is off the
track of the moderh world. The people
and their customs are very unlike those
in any other part of the world-the "off-
island part as the Nantucketers are
wont to call it.
Old fashioned customs and habits
prevail. They know but little about the
new-tangled manners and methods Of
modern social life. They follow the
beaten paths of century ago, live sim
pie, thrifty, laborious lives, and furnish
little business for the doctors
They thrive financially and physically.
A visitor at an evening gathering on
the island, not long since. tells how one
lady, aged plnety-one, presided at the
piano, and another, aged eighty-tive.

might judge from the lady's swapping

the apothecary lead to early physical
decay.

CONDITION OF THE HARBOR.

Have Been Wrecked.

A Ring of Coral Reefs on Which Many Ships
Have Been Wrecked
WARRINGTON, March 3O.-Like all of the
Pacific islaud harbors, that of Apia is
formed by coral reef encircling the is
land at a short distance from the shore.
The anchorage space available for war
ships is contracted being about 1000 feet
wide at the mouth of the harbor. The
bottom is sandy, affording slight hold for
an anchor, and the ba Dor is exposed on
the north. On each side of the entrance
to the harbor are coral reefs, which
are awash at high water, and
are surrounded by shoals. The depth of
the water ranges from four to eight
fathoms, pretty deep water being found
close in shore, which would enable ship
to get close in. Hurricanes or cyclones
at Apis are usually from the southwest,
and revolving in the harboIs tend to
force vessels on the rugged reefs or rough
shores. The last hurricane occurred at
Apis just six years ago. Fortunately no
men ofwar were in the harbor, but every
merchantmen was driven ashore or
wrecked, houses were destroyed, and
palm trees uprooted.

INTENSE EXCITEMENT

Caused.at San Francisco over the Loss OF the
War Ships
SAN Francisco, March 30.-The news
from Samoa of the wrscking of the
American and German men-of-war, caus-
ed intense excitement. The escape of
the English man of war Cslliope Is &C
counted for in shipping circled in two
wsys: Either she vas lying in the outer

to get up steam and leave the hsrbor or
that having more experience with these
storms, the British commander got up
steam SIS soon IS he saw the storm gather
ing and put to sea before the storm
reached the harbor. From accounts
received from vessels arriving during the
past two weeks, it would seem that wind
and rain storms In the South Pacific
ocean have b>en exceptionally severe and
