 The Choral Union gave their first concert on Tuesday evening of last week to a large and appreciative audi ence. The programme, consisting chiefly of choruses, was a pleasing one, and the efficient manner 1n which each number was rendered showed thorough preparation on the part of the perfor mers. One of the pleasing features of the entertainment was the bass solos sung by Mir D. H. Chapin, of Brooklyn, who was encored repeatedly. Much credit is due to Prof l.. w. Harvey, conductor, for the excellent instruction which the members have evidently received. The gross receipts of the concer which was given for the bene- fit of the Village Improvement Associa- tion, were over S57.

LAKEvILLE.

Those who failed to be present at the district school house, upper room, Monday evening, May 13, missed a very interesting entertainment. It was the occasion of awarding medal for the best recitation, among seven competi- tors. Besides the recitations, which were all temperance selections, the programme consisted of several violin solos by Master Reynolds, of Falls Village, and number Of appropriate songs by the following quartette 1: Misses May Phillips and Emily Miller, Messrs Norton and Wilson. The medal, given by MT Fred Egglestons of Falls Village, was awarded by the judges to Miss Alice Eastman. . We are pleased to state that Wm.

Last, but not least, among our news items we would mention the centennial fair and loan exhibition, which was held by the young people of the M. E. church in Academy hall last Friday afternoon and evening. The affair should have taken place April 30, but was postponed on account of sickness in the communi- ty. The hall was tastefully decorated with flags and various other displays of the national colors; pictures of Wash ington and of five others of our presi- dents hung about the walls: a centen- nial banner bearing pictures of Wash ington and Harrison, with the dates 17S9-1999, was among the decorations. The loan exhibit table proved great attraction, Time and space are too Him. tied to admit mention of half the curi- ous and antique articles on exhibition, but here are few: An autograph of John Wesley; books and papers printed in the last century; piece of the first steamboat; bit of bark from 8 pear tree planted by George Washington; china and pewter ware over one hundred years old, and number of articles of Chinese workmanship. A large number of useful and ornamental articles were on sale at the fair tables, and the lunch and ice cream served by the young la- dies and gentlemen, in antique and fan ciful costume, formed not the least en- tertaining feature of the occasion. The receipts of the evening amounted to be- tween $50 and $9O.

A LOGICAL ARGUMENT,

If man who becomes possessed of a
thousand dollars could only be made
realize how much farther the money
would go by exercising care, and look
ing around little, he would certainly
profit by it. There are in all cities
CT the size of San Antonio, many
enticing ways to spend your
money. Beautiful show windows in
which all manner of merchandise is
tastefully exhibited in order to catch
the eye of the passer-by, and induce
him to part with the precious dollar.
In no class Of goods are the uninitia-
ted liable to spend their money fool
ishly as in Jewelry. You may get
good article and yet pay so per cent
too much for It. Suppose a person
goes to a first-class jewelry establish
ment and purchases from first hands
watch costing 500, he wears said
watch three months and through
misfortune he is compelled to pledge
for $40; the man with whom the watch
is pledged can sell it for $50 and make
a good profit, and yet save the buyer
100 per cent. Now this is just what
Emerson & Co. on Soledad street can
frequently do for you. The watch
having been carried only short time
is in reality worth just as much as
ever, and the purchaser saves $50.
E. q Co. also loans money on collat-
teral, and when short they help the
boys over the bridge.

THE Houston Age is endeavoring TO
instruct the misguided democracy in
the principles pure and undefiled
which were laid down by Jefferron
and Muhroe and Adams, and includes
among these "a federal taxation or
tariff upon imported commodities
adjusted with careful regard for the
promotion of Home Enterprise and
the encouragement of Home In
dustry." Rebuking the Birmingham
Times for saying that it stands square
ly upon the democratic platform of
1883, the Age remarks:
1.-THE platform of 1888 was disas-
trous mistake. 1t came near wrecking
the party. The Times had better get
itself squarely on the Age platform
that embraces the essence % pure
Jeffersonian democracy. Just look at
it. Inspect it closely. Every plank
in it is sound"
The Age may be right, but it is not
the democracy of Jefferson and
Adams, but the democracy of Mills
and Cleveland for which the party is
now hungering and thirsting.

AS announced in yesterdays dis
patches VIM. Walter Phelps the
United States diplomat who won
such distinguished honor as Samoan
commissioner at Berlin has been ar-
pointed minister to Germany. This
is meet recognition of Mr.. Phelps
services and was so stated by the
President when he handed him his
commission in person. William Wal
ter has long been the theme of demo-
cratic pleasantries and has been re-
garded as kind of republican Jim
dandy, politician of the Miss Nancy
sort. He has shown what stuff is in
him, and has now an opportunity to
demonstrate the difference between
himself and his namesake, the late
democratic toady at the court of st.
James. VIM. Walter Phelps is an
American, of that fact there is no
manner of doubt.
