Mrs. w. X. Trigg's vocal class of lit
tie children gave an entertainment at
the guild room of the Episcopal church
on Thursday night. The room was
crowded with those who desired to hear
the little folks, and many stood
outside. The concert was given prin-
cipally to show the patrons the advance
ment made by the children. Mrs. Trigg
is music teacher well adapted to teach
little children, as she is patient and
painstaking. The little ones did well
and it is hard-harted person who does
not enjoy their little songs and cunning
ways. Mrs. Rochester favored the au-
dience with a solo, when l was a
Child" The audience would not keep
quiet till it was announced that she
would sing again. At the close of the
entertainment she sang Marguerite, -
and, as an encore, gave 81 am Merry

ing carried us back to the time when she
taught at +. A. S., and when she was
one of the chief vocal artists of our
city. Her voice is as clear as bell, and
its range is great. Mrs. Trigg and Miss
Holland each favored the audience with
solo, and both were highly apprecia-
ted. Mr.. Tillard Hays was called on
for recitation, and gave Mark Anto-
ny's Grafton over the death of Caesar

How Young Lady was Miraeulously Saw

Haven, Conn, told the following
romantic story about Mr.. J. Fox,
now an actor in the Hyde Comedy
Company:
"Cadavers { better known asstiffs)
or subjects for the dissecting table
in the olden times were not secured
from hospitals or morgues, as at
present, but were stolen from near
by burial places by the students.
The watchers, who usually kept
watch at the different burials, hav-
ing reported an interment in the
country a short distance from the
college, secret meeting of the class
was called and lots cast to decide
who should secure the body. The
choice having fallen on Mr.. Fox,
bets were freely offered and taken
that he would not dare to under
take SO dangerous mission, rumors
having reached the college that the
authorities were on the alert and a
strict watch was to be kept on the
cemetery. Fox, however, declared
he would go unattended, SO as not
to arouse suspicion, secure the sub
ject and place it in his room.
"The next morning, Fox not ap-
pearing at the lectures, a committee
of students repaired to his room to
find out, if possible, what had be-
come of him. Judge of their sur
