JE FEATURES LAST NIGHT
MIG HTS PROG RAM

rOF OIL night, last evening al tHe
Teachers Bazaar was rather satisfactory,
to say the least 1t had been assigned to
10 particular division, but a special invita-
ton was extended to the third, or that por-
| ton of it who had been unable to gain ad-
| mittance on the regular night, week be-
fore. There was no apparent falling off
in the attendance, for as early as 1880
o'clock open spaces on the floor were at a
big premium, and the crowd did not di-
minish in size until late hour. 1t was a
welcome throng, too, for cash was dis
pensed by the visitors freely at all the
booths.
The administration booth was once more
| in charge of Mrs. A. T. Stuart, who, by her
courteous treatment and kindly manner has
endeared herself to all connected with the
| bazaar. She was assisted by Mrs. l. S.
Lyon, Mrs. John T. Freeman and Mrs. II.
b. Springer, all eX-teachers. The special
program on the stage opened with gypsy
drill under the leadership of Miss Avis Ma
gee, and it was followed by an artistically
executed piano solo by Miss Daisy Louise
Fox. Later in the evening the Washington
Saengerbund, under the direction of Prof.
VIM. Waldecker, gave several selections,
which were appreciated. The Saengerbund
was then escorted around the hall by
Donchs Band.
Another procession entered about $50
o'clock. 1t was made up of the National
Guard Drum Corps and the fourth batta-
lion, u. c. n. G., Maj. E. R. Campbell. The
companies were the Emmett Guard, Capt
Harry Walsh; the Campbell Light Infantry,
Capt. A. S. Odell, and the Ordway Rifles,
Capt. ]. NJ. Williams, and they all turned
out with full ranks and pocketbooks.
A sewing lesson in third grade work was
given by Miss NJ. c.. Henry, while Miss L.
A. Jacobs presided over class of young
ladies' who prepared cannelon of beef, to-
mato sauce and corn mullins at the cookery
hi haf into tod nf Sne
tators. The regular manual training lesson
was given by Mr.. E. Baldwin.
Some Features.
While last evening was assigned to no
particular school or division, the Western
High School, with its accustomed energy,
placed itself in evidence all over the hall,
and the attention of visitors was politely
| called to a superior line of embroidery and
| fancy work, where We're shown the dam
test of doilies, centerpieces, tray cloths
| and table cloths, ranging in size from Sill
yer dollar to something less than a ten
acre lot, with all sorts of prices attached
| The embroideries are carefully mounted on
| cardboard, covered with tissue paper IN
| delicate colorS, thus bringing out the
beauty of the work, and at the same time
permitting an examination of the work
| without injury. The Western also sells
| photograph frames of worked linen, crepe
paper and birch bark, and sachet bags,
cushions, lamp and candle shades, crochet
work and a variety of trifles. In addition
to the usual attractions, pretty girls and
bon-bonS, the Western offers at the canuy
booth booklets containing tried recipes Tor
! candy that may be made at home.
The foregoing are characterized as the
stationary evidences of the Western at
| the great bazaar, the movable attractions
| being the now renowned camel, Nellie BLY,,
and her attending troupe of more or less
genuine Arabs. The only drawback that
has been developed in the faithful camel IS
oh, 01Nc fipa fo1I- n
command, and therefore riders must
| mount from platform, instead OF in the
| customary eastern fashion. Another fea-
| ture representing the oriental tendencies OF
the Western is a band of Turks, who pro-
pei sedan chairs with the utmost ease,
and last, but not least, the kamptoWn
Soshul Klub makes its presence felt. The
members, in their original costumes of
red, white and green, offer for inspec ton
a choice assortment of military hat pins,
stick pins. sleeve links, Western badges
and the bazaar souvenir, pretty poem,
tastefully bound. The Klub also sings its
characteristic songs each evening.
Art Loan.
The art loan exhibit, under the gallery,
is attracting almost as much attention, in
proportion, as the bazaar proper, and the
costly works are daily and nightly viewed
| by critical and admring visitors. The art
department and public school exhibit. in
the southwest corner of the hall, is also
drawing SPOT. The general effect is very
pleasing, the entire corner being draped IN
maroon, forming a suitable background
| for the fine collection of pictures contrib
| uted by friends of the bazaar. They are
| displayed ON the three walls of the large
space, and together with the articles ard
| smaller pictures arranged on the counters
and tables in front, constitute the art
sales department. The drawings are
| framed in oak fly-frames hanging on three
stands. The first represents the first, sec
| ond, third, fourth and fifth school years;
| the second stand, the sixth, seventh and
eighth years. and the third stand. the
| High and Normal Schools. Modelling in
| clay, from the first to the eighth grade,
| inclusive, and from the Normal School, is
also shown. The works include specimens
| by the leading local artists.
Everybody Busy.
All the officials connected with the bazaar
are continuing their duties with untiring
energy Mr.. Stuart was on hand last even
| ing, the only evidence Of the accident to
| him Sunday being slight limp. One of
| the hardest workers connected with the
affair is Mr.. Gage the efficient supervising
principal of second division A, whose labors
| for the success of the enterprise have been
many in spite of his dignified appearance
and well-known reputation for strict and
constant attention to his school duties.
A new use for the administration booth
developed last evening when it was pressed
into service as lost child bureau. A
little girl became separated from her moth
er in the throng and was weeping bitterly
when discovered by a big polio eman, who
pioted her to the booth. There Mrs. Stuart
stopped the flow of tears in a moment and
the anxious mother soon found the little
one.
The afternoon sessions have grown Tery
popular and the attendance is increasing
steadily. The doors are thrown open at /
o'clock and thus an excellent opportunity
is given those who desire to purchase arti-
cles at their leisure The impression that
the prices charged at the bazaar are eX-
orbitant is declared to be erroneous, ard
the management desires to state that
everything offered for sale is at a price
below what is ordinarily charged.
Medal Contest.
The contest for the gold medal among the
eighth grade boys of the fourth division is
| to be decided this evening. The Jefferson
school is represented by John Downey, the
| Sma llwood by Charles Price and the Bradley
| by Charles Jesse. The pupils of the schools
are warmly interested in the success of their
respective candidates, and the close of the
| contest is expected to be leading feature
| of the evening.
