The large audience which greeted the Euterpe
Glee Club at its performance for the benefit OF
the Takoma Chapel was fattering testimo.
NAL to the organization. The performance
took place at the chapel and was directed by
Prof. Henry T. Statham, the efficient leader OF
the club.
The numbers, fifteen in all, solos. duets and
choruses, were well rendered, several receiving
an encore, among which was finely executed
violin solo by Miss Minna Heinrich. MT. II. F.
Hildebrand, with his exhibition of ventrilo-
quism, kept the audience in a roar Of laughter.
On behalf of the residents and members of the
church Rev. Arthur Little rendered the club

The parents and friends Of teachers and pu-
pills Of the pubic schools here gathered in large
numbers to witness the closing exercises. The
program. consisting Of songs and recitations by
the pupils, was followed by q peep at fairy land.
The platform, with its decoration Of flowers and
ferns, ripping water and fower-decked throne,
which latter was occupied alternately by the
rival queens, Miss Florence Smith and Miss
Maud Watkins who ruled their subjects with
golden wands. was fine representation and re-
iected much credit upon those who labored SO
earnestly for its success, and the happy little
mortals in their gauze and spangles were YER
liable fairies. Mr.. j. B. Kinnear asked that a
vote Of thanks be rendered Mrs. Nourse for her
untiring efforts to bring her school to high
standard, with its very gratifying results, and
the thanks were rendered unanimously.

Much indignation is expressed at the action
OF the gas company in removing the force and
delaying the work when the pipes had almost
reached Takoma.
1t is suggested that the electric railway pro-
vide extra cars for excursions, &C., from Silver
Spring, and not use the two cars that are sup
posed to meet each Takoma car at the junction
thereby compelling passengers to walk from
District line to junction.
