HIRAM,

The Hesperian Society gave a free public
entertainment week ago last evening, to large
and appreciative audience. An excellent pro-
gram was presented, and in such faultless man
ner as to win the appreciation of the entire au-
dience. and maintain its well earned reputation
of presenting first class entertainments.
The "Old Folks Concert" given by the Y.
M. C. A. last week Wednesday evening, was
one of those rich, rare, elevating, and soul-in-
spring occasions, seldom enjoyed by the most
favored communities. There were twenty-five
singers, all well trained and cultivated voices,
and with a carefully selected program, the result
was perfect success, 1t is an injustice to make
none that exceled, but some were assigned es-
pecial parts. and were made more prominent
" The Old Folks at Home" by Miss Blanch
Squire, with the chorus by the whole company,
was charmingly presented. "John Anderson,
my Joe, by Mrs Bartlett, was heartily encored.
" Peter Gray" or Lizzie-Anna Querl, by Mr..
Traum, was an old time, humorous piece, and
SO well done that the audience imagined the
performer was in dead earnest. "Singin Skewl
by Mr., Cook and the company was exceedingly
well done. Going from the Cotton Fields a
most pathetic piece, and most pathetically rem
dered, and Old Kentucky Home by Mr.. E
Adams, could not have been improved upon.
Miss Hague most beautifully presented Grand

splendid impression in "Speak Piece" in which
she most graphically described the cotllion and
monnie musk, with piano accompaniment, a
very difficult feat. The. Greek Song, by Prof
Peckham and his class in Greek, in costume,
was an unique and pleasing feature of the occa-
sion. Miss Miller is an easy and beautiful sing

Levi Bishop died very suddenly and unex-

been sick about six weeks with grippe and pneu-

failure, of which he had complained for year
or more. He was o5 years of age, and had re-

The Ice Men.

The wholesale dealers in ice are again
worried, as they have been off and on
for the past ten years. Their experience
of two years ago has taught them that
II ice does not make in the Hudson by
the 1st of January it is not likely to
make at all during the season. The
agents of these companies are securing
the entire country to the far north of
New York and New England and have
contracted for ice privileges on Sara
toga, Lake Champlain and Lake George,
and have been compelled to pay pretty
stiff prices therefor.
Meanwhile the making of artificial ice
hourishes. and ut the great hotels and
offices of the railroad companies, which
are beginning to use it, it is giving
greater satisfaction than natural ice.
partly because there is less wastage.
partly because is comes in blocks of as
certained weight and partly because it
is made of distilled water. Some of the
natural ice dealers are of the opinion
that it will ultimately supplant natural
ice harvesting. and it is sure to do SO if
the climatic change toward lnildness of
season is to be regarded as permanent.

The Development of s;a,n,

The Siamese sovereigns have usually
been men of considerable ability and in
energy and enlightenment are superior
to most Asiatic potentates. The late
king of Siam and his successor have
done what they could to introduce the
forms of western civilization. Bangkok.
the capital, has the electric light, tram
cars and government offices of European
architecture. and the present king has
also shown himself a reformer of abuses,
especially of the worst of Siamese social
evils. the universally of serfdom and
the prevalence of slavery.
Further and much needed reforms are
expected from him, but even were the
political and fiscal administration of the
kingdom very much better than it is the
Siamese, lighthearted nation of Bud
dhists, fond of amusement and accus-
toned to frequent holidays. are little
fitted to develop the great resources of
their country.
The internal trade is chiefly in the
hands of Cinnamon, who. with the
Malays, add some millions more to the
estimated population of 5000 900. Rail
ways are being constructed and Euro
peans have been encouraged by the
policy of Siamese royalty to settle at
Bangkok and to develop the external
trade of Siam.-St. Louis Pos. st.Dispatch.

4 UNIQUE social Organization.

The latest departure in clubdom is the
formation of the Annie Lynch Botta
Conversation club, a purely social or
ganization of literary and artistic men
and women, founded in memory of Mrs.
Botta's famous Sunday evenings. The
topic of the evenings conversation is
known only to one person, who selects
1T but does not announce it until after the
company has assembled, which pre-
cludes all possibility of preparation and
secures the charm of spontaneity to the
talk.
The person who selects the topic is
called the director" and leads the con-
versation. This Office is not held by the
same person on consecutive evenings
Membership to the club is obtained only
through the medium of friendship with
those already admitted to its privileges.

Methods of London rhieves.

At the next assizes in London the trial
of new kind of thieves promises to be
interesting. Their method was to visit
unoccupied houses in. the outskirts of
the city in the daytime. They drove up
in an elegant carriage. and when they
found nobody at home the house was
marked. In the night they came in a
wagon, broke into the house and carted
off their booty. When it turned out that
they were mistaken and that parties
were in the house they simply offered to
sell photographs and albums One of
the members rode bicycle and took his
notes of the houses that were good for
robbing. Mr. and Mrs. Clarke were the
leaders of. the gang. They lived III one
of the suburbs. were highly respected
by all their neighbors and were exten.
sively invited to tea parties. dinners, ETC..

Explosives I'm Mines.

1t has been claimed that the use of
modern explosives in mines leads to the
production of such poisonous fumes that
a grave danger to the work1nen is thus
incurred. A short time ago a commit
tee was appointed by the Durham Coal
Owners association, consisting of repre-
sentatives of both masters and men. to
consider this important question. Care
ful experiments having been made, the
committee. came to the conclusion that
the fumes produced are not more dan
gerous than those from gunpowder;
that carbon monoxide-the irrespirable
gas which is produced by the combus-
ton of charcoal, and which has led to
so many deaths-is present only in
traces; that an interval. of five minutes
should be allowed to elapse before the
men re-enter the gallery in which the
charge has been fired: and that as they
find portion of the deleterious gases
are due to the fuse employed, the charges
should be invariably fired by electricity.
