THE entertainment given in the opera
house last Thursday evening by Frank G.
Reynolds and Dudley II. Prescott, for the
benefit of the hospital fund of the Kings
Daughters, attracted fair audience and
was very pleasing throughout. Mr.. Pres
colt has marvellous powers of voice, both as
ven triloquist and in initiating almost any
kind of musical instrument, while Mr.. Rey-
nolds, in his monologues songs and recita-
tions, was an excellent exponent of refined
humor. The ladies did not net large sum

The streets of Montpelier present as tidy
and well-kept an appearance as the drives
in well-ordered private grounds. This APP
pearance extends to all the streets, not to
the main thoroughfares merely Commits
sioner Roberts is no respecter of localities.
The streets on which the smaller taxpayers
reside, as well as the living places OF the
well-to-do, are neat and tidy and properly
supplied with sidewalks and crossings.
The city's highways will stand the closest
inspection. There is apparent no unneces-
sary or extravagant expenditure, but a de-
cent regard for comfort and cleanliness
IT is not generally understood by the citi-
zens of Montpelier that there is city ordi.
nance prohibiting buryng the remains of
deceased person within the city limits
without permit from the health officer,
DR.. D. G. Kemp. The sections of the Cath
instructed to comply with the ordinance,
and it will be rigidly enforced. 1t is a
simple thing to do to obtain such a permit,
and by complying with this requirement the
friends of deceased persons will prevent
repetition of such painful and humiliating
delays at the hour appointed for burial as
have twice occurred Of late.

The Junior and Senior members of tn
Epworth League gave a Frost Social " IL
Trinity Church vestry, last Friday evening
that was unique in character. The vesti
bue in which ice-cream tableslwere placed
was decorated with evergreen trees, thickl.

rounded by ferns and flowers. During tn
evening short programme was rendered
which included repetition of the Good
Night Drill" by sixteen little girls, song
by Misses Carrie Wiley and Mabel Wheel

who visited the place for the first time yes
