From tho New York Sun.
The carriage drew up before a business
establishment in Lafayette place with a
clang of sllver-piated harness and a clat-
ter Of the sleek horses hoofs. The foot
man jumped down and ran to the carriage
door to help the ladies alight, while the
coachman, as sleek as the horses, sat bolt
upright on the box and stared at the statue
of Sunset Cox. Then dirty, shutting,
ragged tramp came along, holding himself
and his clothes together, and stopped beside
the carriage.

AT THE REFORM SCHOOLS.
The Day Was Enjoyed by the Boys
aud Girls.

The Day W0s Enjoyed ny inc DOys
aud Girls.
While the day at the boys reform school
was but a repetition OF the many previous
celebrations OF the day at the school. still
to the two hundred boys there 1t seemed
more delightful than ever before. All
work, save that which was absolutely
necessary to be done. was put aside and
the day given over to a real, old-fashioped
holiday. 1t was a complete reversal OF the
old saw, which was to the effect that all
work and no play makes Jack dull boy,
and tomorrow and for many days to come
the boys at the school will be very bright
ones indeed. Every game which brings
JOY to a boys heart was participated In,
and the delightful weather was taken ad-
vantage OF by two well-balanced mines,
who played great game OF base ball. Al
1870 the boys sat down to tables which
fairly staggered under the many good
things which had been placed thereon. In
Guiding. OF course. the toothsome turkey,
vegetables, cranberries, fruit and many
other good things which tickle boys APP
petite. or course. when the boys left the
table precious little remained on 1t. Many
visitors interested In the school called dur
ing the day, and Mr.. A. j. Falls of the
board OF trustees made them a very pleas
ant address. Dinner over, the boys again
gave themselves up to the enjoyment OF
games, ana an Inspection OF the TeHeiI1-
brances which relatives and friends had
sent out to them. This evening, after they
have enjoyed q fine supper the boys will
assemble in the main hall OF the school,
where the small boys will be given a reg
ular, old-fashioned treat, in the shape of
an immense Christmas tree from which
the presents for the boys will be taken.
There will also be singing by the boys,
recitations and a general good time. such
as only two hundred youngsters. full of
life and spirits, can have. Following q
custom OF tn, school, every boy was pre-
scented today with a pound Of candy.

The many young ones at the Colored
Orphans Home, on Sth street extended.
we're entertained this afternoon by the
managers Of the home In u way which the
little ones will not soon forget. They were.
of course, given such a dinner as sorely
taxed the capacities Of their little stom-
achs, and then, as II that were not enough
enjoyment for one day, the little ones
were presented with Christmas reInem-
brances, which makes the day the day Of
all others to them. Games were played
and everything else done which could In
any way tempt the youngsters to a still
greater day of pleasure.

st. AIMS In fmnt Asylum.

The sisters i'm charge Of st. AIMS Infant
Asylum had hard work this morning to
calm the youngsters in their charge to
degree which would enable them to attend
mass In the chapel before the days fes-
tivities began. While 1t was yet dark the
children in the upper dormitory set up u
chatter and a tumult which soon extended
to the toddlers in the lower dormitory,
who. while not old enough to take 1t all IN.
We're yet aware that something exciting was
TRANSPORTING, and were infected by the rest
less spirit of their elders. Finally. how
ever, all hands were Quieted down and the
hundred or more children assembled In
the chapel to attend mass
After mass came breakfast and after
breakfaSt-well, 1t Is hard to say what did
come. The nearest approach to descrip-
ton would be to say that 1t was babel of
delighted whoops and shrieks, blast OF
trumpets and horns, the roll OF drums and
once in u while wall as some luckless
youngster went down in the scramble. The
cause of 1t all was big Christmas tree
which had been set up in a room. The tree
was hung with all kinds of toys and pres
erts to the children. some from the rela-
tives ard friends of the little ones and
sc me donated by kindly-disposed persons
In a few moments each child had toy Of
some kind: dolls for the girls and the reg
ulation noise-Takers for the boys. And
then the fun commenced.
In another room upstairs was a second
Christmas tree. this one devoted to the
very young children, those that could Just
toddle about and make their appreciation
known in delighted gurgles and sQueals
Little chairs and leather dolls prevailed
here, and with a tiny rocker in one hand
and dragging n doll head downwards by
the leg with the other. the toddlers moved
around and file d the room with their mer-
riment.
During the day the friends and relatives
of the little inmates called to see them and
thus added to the pleasures Of the holi-
day.

The Show.

At an early hour the peoplecommenced
to assemble from ell directions to see the
show, and by the time the paradeformed
the streets We're lined with one Of the
largest crowds ever in Webster. The
parade was exceptionally good, though
not quite so extensive as advertised gave
very general satisfaction, and the people
looked forward to a good performance.
There was the usual free exhibition at
the grounds, the side show, the pink
lemonade, and various little games where
the experience that it is not profitable to
invest on another mans game could be
procured in quantities at your own price.
BY two o'clock, the hour for the opening
OF the performance in the big ltent, it is
estimated that from 5000 to 5000 peo-
pie We're present. The wind had risen
and was blowing as only a Dakota wind
can, almost Il hurricane. The manage
ment became alarmed for the safety of
the people and abbreviated the program
at both ends. Instead Of a three hour
entertainment as advertised they gave
one OF about fOrty-fve minutes and re
quested the people to return to the side
show for the concert. Here again the
wind got in its work and the concert was
a failure. What of theperformance given
was very acceptable and gave the i'm

Vote for the Bonds.

There seems to be an undercur-
rent of feeling among some of the
taxpayers of Webster school district
adverse to the proposed bond issue.
Just why, 1T is hard to say, unless
it is owing to the stringency of the
times. That the present school
building is inadequate is apparent
to the casual observer and unless
something is done toward relief the
school children will have to be
taught one half in the forenoon
and the other half in the afternoon.
Another thing, the present school
building was built N 1884, when
the town Was only three years old,
and owing to it's age is cold and
poorly heated in winter. The an
nual cost for fuel is very great,
about 800 tons of hard coal being
consumed, and still school had to
be dismissed several days last win
ter owing to inability to heat the
rooms.
The present Indebtedness is very
little, the orders are all paid and
everything in shape except about
$4,000. 90 bonds against the old civil
township, which took in a part OF
Racine, Morton, all of Rusk and the
present Webster township and
which boEds have never been ap'
portloned yet.
The present plans for improve
ment contemplate the building of
basement 44x70, removing the pres
ent building on to the same ant
building an addition 30x44. Th'
REPoRTER's advice to voters is t.
investigate this matter thorough.
and remember that the publ
school is one of, if not the mos
potent factor III civilization. Tn
present school board is n that i
thoroughly alive to our edueationa
needs aud WILL gladly aeeomodat'
all inquiring.
Our schools are the pride Of on
