It was great day in the driving

display of wealth on wheels seen in
that locality, and a man had come out
to see what it all meant. It was
plain he had never seen a carriage
parade before. After bit he turned
to ono of the great mass of specta-

.'What is it?" he inquired. nodding
toward n gorgeous pageant
Its n carriage parade Of our most
fashionable classes" was the reply.

not lost the confidence OF the South American
republics, has been fifty rebuked in the Hawai-
ian matter; a revenue measure in accordance
with the orders Of the people has passed the
house and is before the senate months earlier
than tariff bill has ever before been presented
to that body: the appropriation bills have been
well advanced. unwise measures initiating the
currency have been prevented ana the treas
ury has been made secure in its ability to re-
deem the paper OF the government The same
contingency In Mr. Harrisons time was met by
the Sherman act, which shook our credit and
intensified the panic of last summer.
Let partisan critics look back into the hts
tory Of our government from the beginning and
see II at any time there has been a more rapid
response to the will of the people, or more fear
less and vigorous action upon the part OF an ad-
ministration It is a matter Of deep regret /
doubt not to every man here, that there has
been opposition In the senate, which has ex-
posed our party to censure, and which has been
resented by the country. The house. coming
directly from the people and responsible to
them, has acted promptly, but the senate has
sorely tried the patience OF the country.
II am not here to tmpeach the loyalty OF any
democrat to our administration, but faithfa!
support OF party, when charged with the re-
sponsibility of government. is true patriotism:
1t Is loyalty to our country.
"In this view do not understand the oppost
ton 10 legislation in the senate, when we are
under the imperative orders of the people to
act In their behalf
Failure to act. or half hearted action, may be
dictated by local interests or may accomplish
individual revenge but 1t will be punished by
the voters.

AN ENJOYABLE ENTERTAINMENT

Second Annual Commencement of st.
Andrews ParOchial School at tho Old
Opera House.
The Old Opera House was we'll filled
last night by that kind of an audience
whose incentive to be present and suffer
the heat OF an illy-ventilated room gives
u6lcient voucher that what was and did
take place was something Of more than
passing interest. 1t was the occasion Of
the second annual commencement OF
st Andrews parochial school.
Alter the entrance march upon the
stage of the entire school to the music
OF the orchestra, there was pnntomi1ne
drill by the young ladies, followed by q
song, The Band" by the boys and girls
Then came two reoitations, in hich the
participants acquitted themselves in q
most creditable manner. The song,
What Will You Take for Ne, Papa?"
rendered by Misses Christina Groves
and Mamie Welsh, was loudly ap-
plauded, and the good humor OF the
audience was enhanced when the little
girls OF the school, in their snow-white
costumes, filed upon the stage and sang
Come to Me in Cherry Time"
The recitation THE Drum" and the
tie boys were we'll worth listening to
and would have been Sufficient to have
satisfied the spectators, but little Annie
Sexton, Catharine Muliin and Agnes
Nc Donald took their places and rem
dered piano trio that was not only a
credit to the youthful performers and
the good sisters who trained them, but
was treat to their auditors. After the
amusing recitation, Somebody" by the
little boys. there was pantomime drill
by the boys.
A piano duo with chorus, Southern
Jollifcation." by Misses Lizzie Toland
and Ella Sexton, was music II treat
and the applause only died out when
four other young ladies appeared in a
quartette, "Peacs on the Deep" The
Sounds from the Ohio" solo by Miss
Ella Sexton, was another much appre-
ciated selection.
The dramatic dialogue, Train to
Muro," by the little boys and girls
showed great tact in their training
and was very amusing, but was soon
forgotten when the little lads in unifor m
were marched upon the stage for the
military drill under Lieut. Harry
Howell, of the Roanoke Machine Works
Guards. This was the feature of the
whole affair.
"Coaina. or tho Indian Rose" de-
lightful little drama by the large girls,
was more than usually interesting and
the songs and choruses, piano and guitar
solo that closed this interesting pro.
gramme were broad hint to the audi
ence to come again next year.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
the sisters who have trained these
youths and the entertainment last night
is guarantee that they must meet with
success.

why Beer Kegs Are Made So Thick.

1t takes long while for beer key to
wear out. 1t has tough constitution
and is protected from internal decay by
coat of puro and hard pitch. The pitch
used on the modern keg is much superior
to that formerly used. 1t is clear, taste
less and tough. An empty beer keg will
stand great many hard knocks before
tho pitch scales off.
Tho kegs wear out, when they do
wear, externally. They are wet and dry
alternately, and this promotes decay.
Then they get great deal of unneccs-
sary banging around between tho time
they leave the brewery and are brought
back again. Everybody, from the driver
and railroad and steamboat hands down
to the barkcepers, seems to think the
kegs arc indestructible. A whole car
load of empty kegs is frequently thrown
from the car down to the ground. A
single empty keg is often thrown s feet
1t really isn't necessary to make the
kegs as heavy, SO far rs the keeping of
the beer is concerned. They began by
being made heavy in the old days. The
brewers then deemed it absolutely req
uisite to make them that way to with
stand the pressure Of tho beer. The very
fact that they were made heavy and
clumsy subjected them to rough ham
ding. Now they have to be made heavy
and extra material has to be put into
the heads and slaves simply because Of
this handling and not from any danger
on account of the internal pressure of
the beer. Tribune.
