son Hall last Monday evening Much
praise is due the instructor for his untir-
ing zeal in making the preparations and
drilling his class to such good work.
This entertainment was a rare treat for

tainment was ever given in such fine taste
and manner as this one. The hall was
tastefully decorated and gloriously
beautiful evening brought a large and
appreciative audience. Prof. Holmes as
King" did his part right royalty and to
perfection. His physique and voice were

ion, winning all with her grace and ad-
mirable voice so we'll suited to her role.
Zeresh did her part with the same grace
and expression. Her singing and action
was of high order. Hannah more than
met the expectations OF the people. The
part was we'll executed by John John
ston. Mordecai was represented by Mr.
Paquette. Indeed, those who took the
leading roles covered themselves with
horor, and all sang with good enuncia-
ton and clear expression. The chorus
work was no less effective in execution
and their singing was prompt and up to
the mark. All the costumes were neat
and attractive and the one great beauty
OF tic cnntata was the triumphal march
by the little girls which could not fail to
be admired. Miss Fannie W ebber as the
accompanist did her part faithfully and
we'll She evinced in every sound from
the organ her complete mastery OF it as Il
musician. Mr.. Duchdrme accompanied
with the cornet. The whole reflected
great credit on Prof Holmes as leader
1t is all the more gratifying to the people

Under the above caption an article APP
pcared in the Portland, (Mc.) Press last
week, and we commend the suggestion
therein made to the earnest and thought
full consideration of our readers. We have
had warnings enough, and may yet have
to pay dearly for our indifference and
neglect in not having suitable apparatus
Tor coping with the fire hend. The fol-
lowing is the article;

tive fire at North Stratiord. last Friday.
may result in an improved and effective
fire service for the exposed lumber villages
within easy reach of this place. Island
Pond itselfis provided only with hand
engines, and while the one sent to North
Stratford proved very effective, it is
thought that something may be done in
the way of providing n much better sys-
tenn Even here it is felt that there should
be steam fire engines of improved con-
struction, such as the place is not able, it
is felt to provide.
This place, as a railroad center, is pro-
vided at all times with engines, and
special train could be sent out at n few
moments notice. There re at least fifty
men here who would be competent to act
as an engineer, in case steam fireeng'ne
could be obtained, and volunteer hre
department could be organized able to
cope with any fire that could possibly be
started within the limits of the proposed
service by railroad.
1t is thought that it might be possible
for the villages of West Milan, Percy
Croyeton, Stratford Hollow, North
Stratford and Norton Mills, at present
without the slightest means for putting
out n fire, to unite with Island Pond IN
the purchase OF modern fire engines, to be
kept at this place, providing Island Pond
ia able. as would be the case, to provide
q suitable volunteer fire department.
All the above named villages are places
ofiocal importance, and are the centers
of a great lumber business. It'll believed
that the lowering OF the insurance rate
would more than make good the cost OF
the plant. 1t is argued that something
of tho sort must be done, If there is to be
any marked increase in the number OF
small local manufactures. and that nc
large plant is likely to be started at any
If the points named, without decided
change in the system of fighting fires 1t
is thought that the lumber companies
