THE EPwoRTH LEAGUE ANNIvER-
SARY.

The third anniversary of the formation
of tbe Fpwortb league was celebrated last
Sunday evening at the Methodist church.
by a uuion service of the two Christian
Endeavor societies and the Epworth league,
and was particularly pleasant and enjoy
able meeting throughout, expressing as It
did. interest and unity of feeling, instead
of rivalry in the same work. between two
great societies. The musical part of the
program. which consisted of solo, with
cornet Obligato. bv Miss Jessie OrtOn and
Mr.. Sewall Morse, selections by mixed
and male quartet, together with singing by
a chorus choir. added much to the enjoy
ment of the service.
Mrs. ID. y. Bartletts report of work
done by the league during the past year
was read by Mrs. w. W. NewcOmb, and
showed remarkable amount of work con-
sidering the disadvantages under which it
has labored not the least of which has
been the removal of % active members
from its ranks. two Of whom were presi-
dents at the time of their removal. The
interest in the spiritual, Intellectual, and
social branches of work had never been
greater, and its financial standing was
better than last year.
Guy LamsOn, as a representative OF the
BaDIlSI ilTlSlldn EIutdNOI sOtltt1s 5pOht
very ably and interestingly on the subject
of work for Young Christians" He did
not attempt to lay out any set plan for
work, but expressed the thought that
Christians should not plan but should exc
cute Gods plan of work to the best of their
ability. Every opportunity of doing good
that we see, especially those Opportuni-
ties most commonly neglected by Chris
tians. are our opportunities and should be
so considered 1t was an earnest appeal
throughout for more personal work, and
showed breadth of thought and feeling
that did credit to the young man.
Rev. Mr.. Webb spoke in behalf Of the
Epworth league, telling of its formation
three years ago in a church in Cleveland
Ohio and of its growth since then, at the
present time numbering 5000 chapters, and
500. 600 members. He spoke of the great
work that had been accomplished by the
league all over our land, of its influence in
the Methodist church, and especially of
the work done by the Brattleboro chapter,
stating that this league had sent out two
ministers, two workers in city missions,
several consecrated Christian workers to
the North, South and West and now as a
last sacrifice, was about to send out
young man into the Y NJ. c. A. work.
1t is hoped that many more union gath
erings will claim the attention and interest
of our young people in the years TO come
and draw them still closer together in
Christian sympathy and influence.

RUSTICANA

The Rustic was amused on Monday
evening to hear people discussing all sorts
o. things while the incest possible music
was to be heard. Instead of listening at
all to that, beyond distinguishing between
a soloist and a full orchestra, such things
as "Why, you've got some new jewelry"'
80, what love of a bonnet In the
midst of a soft passage-slam. went a door.
Soon after. slam went another at the 9TH
er end of the hall. In the midst of beau
tiful ballads men (?) were heard talking
very busily at the back end of the hall.
Well, the Rustic supposes that either they
don't know any better, or else they bought
a ticket and felt that it entitled them to do
as they pleased. Why should the man
with one small boy and two squeaky boots
number twelves-wait until a soft pas
sage in the andante before getting up and
tramping the length of the hall? Good
manners 20 far, my boy-our friend the
Rustic thinks so.

LADIES' NIGHT AT THE PROFESS
SIGNAL CLUB.


The closing meeting of the Professional
club for the present season was held at the
Brooks House on Tuesday evening. when
the annual Ladies Night was celebrated.
\ pleasant and animated company of about
70 members and guests was present. The
paper was by DR.. William b. Clark of Johns
Hopkins University son certain aspects of
local geology" The distinguishing char
acteristic of the address, was the simple.
clear, and fascinating way i'm which it
treated a subject which is often made only
dry and abstrusc. In a comprehensive
and scholarly way it described how the diff
ferent strata of the earth's crust were
formed. the processes by which our pictur-
esque local topography as seen today has
been established, and the changes which
are still going on. The paper was illus
trated with charts drawn for the occasion.
and by models. As matter OF local in
terest and information the address is print
ed in full on the seventh page of this pa
per, and abundantly deserves the promi-
hence thus accorded it,
Supper was served immediately following
the paper. 1t was an elegant and ahund-
ant repast, admirably served. and was rec
ognized 10y the club and its guests as COM
pliment from the hotel management which
was fully appreciated. After the supper
there was an hour of informal discussion.
during which the essayist answered many
questions which his paper had suggested.
AT suitable point a vote of thanks to DR..
Clark for his kindness in preparing the
paper and making the journey to his old
home in Brattleboro to deliver ii was unan-
imously passed by a rising vote
The officers elected for the ensuing term
were: President, G. A Hines; secretary
and treasurer, O. l.. French: executive
committee, II. d. Holton, A. d. Brown, J.

BRATTLEBORO ART.
[From M Collector. Man ~

On April IL last the American Art Journal sig
nalzed its 3Oth anniversary by the issue of an ex-
ceptiOnally voluminous number. with a new and
elaborate cover The leading article and one of
great interest To musical people, was devoted to
Handel and bore the signature Of DR.. James
Pech of New college, oxford. a charming full
page portrait of Miss Mary Howe followed the
Handel article Although reproduced from a
photograph, the pose and lighting of this likeness
are so happy that ii has quite the quality of a
picture worthy of this gifted and beautiful gen
tlewoman and artist herself. whose recent sue
cesses have justified even the Art Journals title
for her Of the American concert prima donna
This is not only handsome compliment
to Miss Howe, but is deserved recogni-
ton of the excellent portrait work done bv
her brother, Mr.. J. c. Howe, whose pic
lures of Miss Howe have been so much
sought after and so warmly praised wher-
ever she has sung.
