RADIANT ORPHANS.
A Charming Entertainment Last Ey-
ening at the Territorial Manual
Training School.

The Territorial Manual Training School
for Orphans, conducted by the Sisters of
Charity, gave Christmas entertainment
between and 9 o'clock last evening.
The assembly room in the noble brick
structure which good Father Hays pre-
sented to the Sisters was the scene of the
festivity, and sixty bright and interesting
children from 3 to IA years old, were the
radiant and happy participants. Aside
from the Sisters of the st. Vincent in
stitutions, a dozen or fifteen citizens
were present by invitation as spectators.
The entertainment was extremely enjoy
able. The vocal and instrumental music,
the Rotations, dialogues, marches and
calesthenic exercises were rendered with
admirable grace, composure and intelli-
gence, and about the whole affair there
was blending sweetness and light" and
purity that only conscientious training
can produce in child.
But for the Sisters these homeless,
parentless waits would be a serious bur-
den upon New Mexico communities, but
here they are trained in all the useful
occupations and given an education that
fits them in every respect to become
useful men and women.
On the part of the handful of spectators
it was matter of general regret that the
general public, which. has at best only a
very crude idea of the noble work of the
Sisters of Charity, could not witness these
exercises, and many have urged Sister
Victoria and her associates to permit a
REPETITION of the entertainment in some
public hall. This is the program that
was so admirably carried out:
