A Pleasing Entertainment.

Correspondence OF the DEsEREr NEws,I
For weeks past number OF our
young ladies, under the direction OF
president Sister NJ. Snow, have been
working away for an entertainment
to be given to the old folks, widows,
and orphans, irrespective Of creed
or caste, and last Friday, the
27tb, was the day. Some OF
our citizens had volunteered 10 convey
those who lived farthest from
the Opera House, and shortly before
two O'Clock, wagon load after wagon
load Of humanity was driven up to
the entrance. This house was crowded.
A good band was In attendance.
When the curtain went up the eye WAS
fascinated with the sight OF sixty
children OF all ages dressed in white,
placed In order, each provided with a
national flag. Led by Sister NJ. Snow.
their young voices rang out clear and
sweetly with the "Anvil Chorus"
At the commencement OF tho chorus
the flags were raised aud waved to
keep time with the music.
When the curtain again went up the
interior OF cell In an insane asylum
was presented, while leaning against
the cold, gray walls, which seemed to
reek with moisture, stood n "male"Hg-
ure with streaming, disheveled hair,
chained and In tattcred garments.
This was sister Ray Evans, who with
dramatic pathos recited "rhe Maniac"
Then came n character sketch by two lit
tie z rls, one In boy's attire. While the
latter pathetically sang, "Dost Thou
Love me Sister RUTH" the other
turned with charming modesty to hide
her confusion. A plano duet was next
rendered by Misses Amelia Grauhl
aud Minta PETIT. The tsbleaux,
"Mistletoe Bough," In four acts, aud
"rhe Old Woman Who Lived In "a
Shoe" did great credit TO the two
ladies' who had arranged them. A
quartette, "Moonlight VIII Come
Again." was finely rendered by Mrs.
NJ. Snow, Miss Hattie Nichols, Mrs.
Frank Tishburn and Fred. Peterson.
The programme concluded with the
pretty extravaganza, "'The Sleeping
Beauty" The parts were capitslly
sustained, and the entertainment as
whole was an immense success. s.

THE SINGLE TAX.

The Philadelphia Press does not agree
with those who favor Henry Georges
principle Of taxing land values exclusive
OF the improvements thereon. The argu-
ment urged for the single tax in Washing
ton City Is that the tax on land values
would make 1t improbable to hold uninn-
proved real estate: and the multiplication
Of buildings constructed in order to get
revenue enough from the real estate 10
pay the taxes On it would make house
rents and boarding cheaper.
The Press replies that the single-tax
theory which forbids taxes on improve
ments does not seem TO take into account
the new rage for fifteen and twenty
story buildings. The owner of lot of
ground where this single tax prevails can
increase the rental value of his realty by
adding story to story without increasing
his taxes. The owner of piece Of ground
occupied by rolling mill, for instance.
which must necessarily be low, and the
owner of a similar piece of ground occu-
pied by many-storied Office building or
tenement house, must pay about the same
tax, as the ground without improvements
would be about the same value though
the value of the buildings thereon would
differ enormously.

THE FUTURE OF CANADA.

The projected construction of man,
moth ship railway from Lake Ontario to
Georgian bay concerns not only the inter-
ests Of Canada aud OF our Northwestern
states, but also those Of the city OF New
York. Its execution will aSsuredlv be ad-
vantaeeous TO Canadian commercial in
tere<ts in shortening the distance between
the Western lakes and the Atlantic ocean
by way of the 81. Lawrence, thus increas-
ing the amount of the produce of our
Western states carried by that route to
foreign markets. Preliminary surveys
have shown that the project is feasible; an
eminent engineer is ready TO take hold OF
il; Canadian company has been organ
ICED 10 carry it cut, and the requisite capi-
tai. which is estimated AZ about $1,000
90, is to be procured in London. The
width of the neck Of land lying between
the two bodies Of water is only sixty-six
miles; the roadbei, fifty feet in width, is
20 have six parallel steel tracks, and it Will
BE- possible TO move vessels Of 5000 tons
burden over the line.
When this railway IS built it Will be
strong, practical argument with the United
States for the annexation OF Canada, for
this railway would surely divert the trade
Of the West from the Erie canal and the
great railways OF New York.
