from nine to thirteen years old. but
they succeeded In packing the hall, and
more than a hundred people had to be
turned away at the doors.
The admission was only Is cents for
''grown-uppers' and 10 cents for chill
dren. but seso5 was taken In even at
who Is Just four years old, handed in an
making in all s7io5.
To the children whose names appear
on the programme below must all credit
be given for the entertainment, but they
were ably assisted by Mrs. l.. A. Stahl
and Miss Alice Lazarus. who have de-
voted time and energy to making the
affair a complete success.
After the opening chorus. Fred Klus-
ing piano solo, and he was followed by
comb Riley's "Goblins" and 'Im Some
thing Of a Sporting Man." the latter
panied by a jig. Later on the same

body went home. feeling that they had

put on his bathing suit and go into the
surf.
When he was taking his bath an in
vestigation of his house showed that he
had bored holes on three sides of the
place, with a s-s inch auger. which was
found In a pocket OF his clothing.

for several days been perforating the
partitions OF lighthouses.
Founder Bradley, after giving the
culprit a lecture. ordered his release
The man was good looking and about
twenty-seven years old. He was we'll

Congressman Boutelle Finds a Man
Who Fought Him.

Mr. John w. Reynolds OF 1881 Edmondson

letters from Congressman Charles A. BoueIe
OF Maine regarding the desperate naval engage
ment In Albemarle Sound, N. c.. ON May 5.
1864. Mr.. Reynolds was master alarms OF the
Confederate ram Albemarle, and Mr.. Boutele
was navigator of The Sassacus, which led The
Federal fleet, and handled her during The Conn.,
bat. il was Mr. Boutele who conceived and
directed the daring head-on rush of the Sassa-
Gus. which disabled tho Albemarle aud put her
finally out Of the fight. Ever since the war MIR.
Boutele has been searching for some one who
was on board The Albemarle during tile fight,
bur, siDgularly enough, failed TO hear OF any one
until last summer, when Lieutenant John w.
Sayille principal OF the Baltimore Poly
technic Institute. who was himself engaged
on The Federal naval expedition In those
waters. told him OF MIR. Reynolds. Mr.. Bouele
at once wrote TO Mr.. Reynolds. and the latter
wrote out description of the fight as witnessed
from the Albemare's decks, and It was pub

But Ill spite of absurdiiieS OF this kind
probably no Croy or Moysin ever descended

that in Spain the Moorish invasion drove tbe
