The school entertainment at the opera
house neXt Friday night, a program of
which appears in this issue, promises TO
exceed in interest. and excel in its
pleasing and entertaining features, all
former attempts in this direction, and
should be greeted by q large audience.
The proceeds, as stated, are to be APP
piled to a good purpose, and the price
OF admission is easily within the reach
of all. Let everybody who possibly can,
turn out and give the worthy school
children an audience that will f"ttingly
express the degree Of public apprecia
ton they so richly deserve for the long
hours they have devoted in perfecting
themselves in the various parts consti.

t~ertainmcnt. Curtain rises promptly at

The social dance given under the nus.
pieces OF the ladies ofthe Catholic church,
at the opera house on Tuesday hight, was
a most pronounced social and financial
success. The management was fairly
perfect, the music fult!ess, and the flow
OF social enjoyment unceasing. 1t is not
out Of place to say, and say it out loud,
that the music was superb. 1t was local
and that accounts for its excellence. Ii
was free as the mountain air, being
donated by the musicians for this special
occasion, which would not have been
case had it not been local. The
ladies found ready purchasers for their
cake and ice cream which dis
appeared like the morning dew under
the burning rays of a summer sum-, and
the result was a forty dollar clean up to
swell a possibly somewhat depleted
church exchecquer. The ladies are de-
serving Of much credit for their efficient
management Of their entertainment,
which gave to all participants an open
opportunity to pitch in and enjoy them
selves to their happy hearts content,
which they accordingly did.

Chicago, Oct. G.-Eugene Hirschfcld
left his dry goods store IL Raymond,
Mimi. in the care Of clerks last week
and aMe to Chicago to marry Esther
Schwartz. But Esther al away with
an Old lover. and Eugene, OF the
principle that second choice is first
choice when first choice is Impossible,
married Johanna HirXchfeld OF DiXon
md t,ck Ter home to Minnesota.
Esther Schwartz had long loved
Maurice StprnlCrg, but he was only i
clerk and was Door. One day last
week, however. he met Miss Schwartz
and the unsuspecting Mr.. Hirschheld
at Philip Blumc's house. on West
Twelfth street. and while helping her
fold and address $50 invitations To the
Hirschtield-Schwartz wedding, quietly
proposed and was accepted. The next
day Maurice Sternberg and Esther
Schwartz met down town, went to
Milwaukee and were married.
When this became known 1t was too
late TO recall the invitations for the
wedding set for last Sunday. Guests
were already on the way from various
points in the state. Then mp spoke J.
:. EdclStein of Belvidere, HirSchleld's
cousin, and suggested that they have
"A wedding anyhow. Johanna llirsch-
field OF Olson loved her cousin Eugene
Of Minnesota he knew, so on Sunday,
the day he was to have married Esther
Schwartz. he took Johanna to Milwau-
kec and made her his wife. That night
most of the guests hidden to the in
terruptcd MISUNDERSTANDING nup-
tails assembled at Philip Blum's house
and celebrated the Hirschtield-lirsch-
field nuptials. HirSchtield spent $50
for champagne.
Monday night Maurice ~Sternberg
and his wife returned and were re
married by Rabbi Brandy. At the
same time Max Sternberg, Matrices
brother. and his wife, who were mar
ried by Il justice ten years ago, were
also remarked. Then Philip Blum
threw open his house again for Mr..
and Mrs. Maurice Sternberg. All the
parties concerned have now forgotten
their temporary heartaches and are

The Farm, Field and Fireside, Chicago,
is doing a most excellent work ia helping
those who want TO better their condition TO
secure homes in a more congenEl climate,
or where the opportunities for getting a
start in life are better. Its colony plan Is

secure a chunk OF excellent land at almost
half the usual price. For its Oct. ID ex-
cursion to Green Cove Springs, Florida, the
lowest rates ever given to that state have
been secured. A splendid train will be run
from Chicago with special cars from Oma-
ha. Kansas City, st. Paul and Cleveland,
and a steamer from New York. The train
will be composed mainly OF sleeping cars,
which will be used for beds throughout the
trip. Fifty-six thousand acres Of the best
land in the state has been secured, the
greater part of which will be sold at $500

American machinery I'm Japan.

Advices from Japan, in treating of
the omnipresenee OF electrical devices
in that country, make special note of
the extent to which American ma
chirery is in favor. At the electric
generating station of the Lake Biwa-
Eioto canal twenty l20 horsepower
peIton water wheels are installed.
These wheels are betted with Edison,
Thompson-IIouStou and Brush dyna-
mos. with counterShafts between
them. Lately a three-phase dynamo
Of SiemenS * Ilalske has been added.
The work of this plant is extremely
interesting, and the installation shows
how Eecnly alive the japanese are TO
the possibilities OF electricity. The
canal, which provides the water power
for the generating station. is crossed
'by several bridges. Near the water
power station is an incline. along
which boats with largo are moved up
and down on wheeled cradles. The
cradles are hauled by steel ropes PASS
ing around a drum, which is worked
by electricity from the power house.
This peculiar adaptation is made nee
essary by the descent of the canal at
this point, rs feet in 1915 feet. to the
level Of the city. The gradient of the
canal incline is l in II. Double lines
Of railways, consisting of fiat bot
toned steel rails, are laid on wooden
sleepers. The gauge is 8 feet 3 inches.
Two cradles, each with eight wheels,
are so arranged that ont goes up while
another is descending. The width of
the boat is I feet and the length -
feet. The weight of the cargo is from
10 to ID tons, and the time of the pass
age of the cradle is about T. minutes.
Not only are the cradles moved uD
and down the canal incline by the cleo
trio motor, but the electric power is
used for spinning, weaving. in the
manufacture of clocks ANA watches,
needles. oil, lemonade, ice, soda water
factories. rolling mills rice mills and
for pumping water for the innumera-
BILE bath he uses which are situated
within a radius of two miles from the
power station Besides these the sta
ton supplies electricity in the day
time TO the Kioto Electric Railway
company and at night to the kiOto
Electric Light company. The cos of
the power ranges from $40 TO $50 per
horsepower per year for daily rates
of twelve hours; for eighteen hours
the increase is 30 per cent and for
tw~enty-four hours ii is 80 per cent. If
any one has the idea that the Jap
anese are children in the field of in
dustry he may safely be said to be in
error.

We seem now to have added a new
terror to life in histories of the living.
Are these biographies and bibliogra-
phies of eminent men subtle hints to
them that it is time TO go? At a GER
tain university, when a professor or
head Of a college hung on unconscion-
ably long, Prof. Herkomer was called
in to paint his portrait. The treatment
was generally successful. SO with
these histories Of the living. A life Of
Stambouloff was in the press when he
was murdered, and several eminent
men of letters have recently commit
ted suicide by autobiography. 1t is a
proof Of her majesty's excellent consti-
tuition that she survived all the Jubi-
lee histories. We must beware Of a re-
lapse in 1897, when she will break
George Ills record for reigning.

Report Showing They Have Been

published to-day, says that n Of the
foreign delegates Of the international
commission of inquiry says that its
report will show that the total number
of inhabitants of the Sassoun valley
did not exceed 1000. and that the nIm-
Der of Armenians killed in the capture
Of the villages of Semal, Shemak and
Gheliguzan and In the taking Of An
tokhdagh Pass was at the most 300 to
500. 1t is also claimed that the re-
port will demonstrate that there is no
evidence that any one was killed in
cold blood or that there were any
mutilatiOns of women or children.
Finally, it is asserted by the delegate,
according to the correspondent of the
Pail Mall Gazette, that about forty
persons were buried in the death pit
at G~heliguZan and that the statement
that a number of women threw them
selves over a cliff In order to avoid dis
honor is also false.
