JUNIORS OF NOTRe DAME.
A Delightful Exhibition in the Convent
 Hall Last Night.

A DcI1Sntnu1 ENhtD1t1On 1n the Convent
 Hall Last Night.
 A large audience attended the entertain ment given by the junior pupils of the Convent of NOtre Dame. in the convent hall last night. The hall was handsomely decorated and the pupils acquitted them selves in a manner which showed that they had been we'll drilled by master hands.
 The exercises opened with a trio by forty-two hands upon organs and pianos. in which the little ones showed wonderful skill as -nuslcians. This was followed by a welcome song ny a chorus of the junior classes. Miss Ar nie Finn delivered the salutatory in a graceful dignided manner which Won the admiration Of all. dia- logue entitled The Rights of the Little Ones" vas rendered in a most acceptable manner by thirty children of the junior department, under the direction of the Misses Margaret Guilfoile and Helen Mona gan of the senior department. The suc- cessful rendering of the dialogue and the movements of the artists elicit sd much ap- plause. Recltations were given by the Misses L. Mahoney, Margaret Sweeney and Master Peters. The closing address by Miss Jennie O'Hara was an interesting number. Fifty children of the primary depal tment executed a wand drill and Miss Louise Martin sang song The Misses A. Byrnes. A. BlAnchette. NJ Russell and c. Herringer rendered some excellent musical selections on the mandolin.
 Vicar General Mulcahy award the prizes, and delivered an interesting ad- dress. After the entertainment a large number called up stairs to witness the art display of the pupils, which consisted of some fine specimens of needIework and paintings. The workmanship was superb and reflected great credit on the pupils and their tutors. Most of the local clergy were in attendance and Rev J. H.

PARK CAFE STRIPPED.
The Fixtures Which Were Not Paid For, Removed 4. This Afternoon by Sheriff CarmOdy.

The Fixtures Which Were Not Paid
 For, Removed 4. This Afternoon by
 Sheriff CarmOdy.
 There is the biggest sort of a rumpus going on at G. F. Goold's Park cafe in Exchange, place, this afternoon. While the proprietor is busy passing out cool drinks to thirty customers force of men in commend of Sheriff Carmody is taking down the fixtures and if the work continues the place will be cleaned out before six o'clock.
 It is peculiar case. When M. F. Con- nelly started the Park cafe he bought the fixtures from G. R. Rothchilds Sons & Go of New York for $2.0O0. It is stated that the stock was not what Mir Connolly bar gained for. The mirrors were stained and there were several imperfections in the wood work. The company promised to replace them, but for some reason the change never was made
 A few months ago G. F. Goold bought out Connolly's interest in the cafe and. it is said, went to New York and entered in- to an agreement with the firm u buy the fixtures for $1 .000. provided that the stained mirrors and other defective arti- cles would be replaced with good stock. The new proprietor was to pay for the fix lures on instsllments of $75 R month, When the collector called Mir Goold re- fused to make any payments on the con- tract until the company tsent on the new mirrors. Matters stood this way until this afternoon when an agent of the house came along and handed Sheriff Csrmody paper to sei2s fixtures at the Park cafe to the value of g 900. Soon one of R. N. Blakeslees tEucks was backed up in front of the door and four oI five stalwart men invaded the place, | When tLe agent went in he walked over to Mir Goold and said: 'I am just after getting word from New York to allow you to keeI those fixtures if you want to pay for them
 Il want to say" replied Mir Goold "and I call on all those who are now listening to me 10 witness my statement ''that when you comply with your part o the contract, shall be prepered to live uK to mine. I am able to pay my debts, bu inasmuch as these are not the goods agreed to pay for refuse to make q pay ment on them"
 ''Oh, shaw" said the fussy little agent "take them out." turning to Mir Carmody and then the mr n went to work and com menced at the big mirror behind the luncl counter.

She Wants tO Seize an Island or VenezuelG
 For n Naval Station.
 WASHINGT0N, June lS.-Thcrc is reason {" Ht'ii, vc hat the United States govern mont will have uCCISiOn at no distant day |" give smother interpretation of the Mon r"" doctrine aS applicable to tho acquisi tOn of an island of the coast of Venezuela L" hr used by Germany fora naval station The attention of the officials recently ha. been directed tO the interests of Germany in that locality, and there k apprehension that tn" uhjCct may assume quite nS for midah'r an aspect as that of British az Gr,'S>lun on Venezuelan soil.
 It is said to hC because of the German interests in Venezuela that the German government k inclined to regard with fa N0r the acquisition of an island of the NCnCzuClan coast to be used as a nava station and aS a sort of base of operations The guarantee of Venezuela to the Ger man syndicate is of a private character, the German government having no inter, est in the matter, but it is looked upon a< atfnrding convenient means by which the government, in giving protection tC its citizens, could also carry out it's desires for the acquisition of a naval station.
 The circumstances are such as to lead tC the belief that the United States will bt called upon again to define to what extent the acquisition of territory by foreign powers on South American soil is com. patible with the Monroe doctrine.

Some time ago the Commissioners had

South Washington aud had substituted
for them oil lamps, and last night cue OF
these exploded with considerable violence.
scattering the burning fluid over the
doorstep of a house opposite the lamp.
Policemen Roberts ami Kenny OF the
Fourth precinct were standing at the corner
OF Second ard NJ streets southwest and
noticed that enc OF the lamps aboutin dway
the saCare was asitated. 1t was flashing
up IN a bright red iiame ard thea burning
with a dim blue blaze. 1t was an inter-
estiDg eXnIDition. but the police had never
known one OF those lamps to put ON such
antics before.
In Just about one minute from the time
that it began to blow up it blew I'D and
all around the pavement and on u doorstep
little patches of oil burned with a lur- d
light that soon died out. The police say
that the explosion might have started j lire
had the iates been willing.
