much interest the influence of the sa-
cred book. Rev. l.. B. Bullock spoke
of the Bible as a statute book of both

Beloit College GIee and Banjo Clubs.

The Cambrian club has secured as an
Easter holiday attraction the Beloit
College Glee and Banjo clubs, who will
give a concert at Concordia Opera
house, Wednesday evening, April /.
The entertainment given by these
clubs is decided novelty, and will be
on an order never before attempted
here. The Glee club is composed of
sixteen members, and in the Banjo
club there are nine pieces-fve banjos,
three guitars and one mandolin. Last
year the Beloit college boys made a
most successful tour, receiving many
fattering press notices, among which
was the following from The Chicago
Herald:
The Beloit College Glee and Banjo
clubs entertained q large number of
their friends last evening in the Union
Park Congregational church, the main
audience room being nearly full despite
the unfavorable weather. Each number
was enthusiastically received, and had
all the encores been responded to they
would probably be singing yet. The
work of the Banjo club was very at
tractive, some Of the numbers, notably
"rhe British PATROL being worthy a
place on any popular program.

a CARD.

For the information of those who de-
sire to know how I stand upon the
question of Water-works in this city,
desire to say that my former views have
undergone some modification. I am
now clearly of the opinion that when
it shall appear that the financial condi-
ton of the city will justify this improve
ment, the sam, should be undertaken
by the city, and the works should be
owned and controlled by the city, so
that whatever profit there is derived
from the enterprise may be for the
benefit of the taxpayers. Information
obtained from residents of other cities
where Water-works are maintained
lead me to believe that this is better
than to have the franchise owned by
outside parties. GEO. J. WEBER.
