Y. NJ. C. A. CARNIVAL.
Closing Night the Best Of AII-Rev. c. S.
Cummings Gives Bright Talk

Thursday. the closing night of the Y.
NJ. G. A. carnival, was the most success
full of any, and was very well attended.
The attractive booths have been we'll
patronized, especially Thursday evening
The talk by Rev. c. S. Cummings was
most entertaining In his characteristic
way, he gave many stories, and during
his half hours speech, kept the audience
at the very highest pitch Of attention and
amusement The subject of his talk was
Why People Should Laugh
Miss Cassie Holmes gave some reeita-
tions with much success, and was warmly
received.
The carnival has been, besides very
pretty fair, a most enjoyable one, and The
young ladies of the Women's Auxiliary,
and of the several churches, who offered
their services, deserve special credit.
They have done much to make the
visitors enjoy themselves, and the Y. NJ
"a carnival now closed, may be expected
to open again, when the time comes
around.

when AT its maximum velocity, there was
a sudden prolonged grittipg sound, and
the entire bob suddenly stopped. and was
deprived Of Its dozen passengers
There was. strange to relate, no serious
injuries. Miss Mary Cloutier had a hand
scraped. and some Of her clothing torn
and Miss Annie Duby had her leg slightly
injured, One Of the men had an overcoat
mined, and all were covered from head
to foot with dirt and bruises.
Franklin street is said to offer the best
coast in the city, with the road in suit
able condition, but there will undoubred-
ly be suspension of the invigorating
coasting until by some means that dirt
spot is covered up.

that the White House is a great Mecca Of
American patriotism, which every good

its readers fine picfure of the historical
home of tie presidents and its beautiful
grounds on free art supplement-, which

manent ornament of the household
This beautiful souvenir can easily be set
up on the stage Of The Sunday Globe
theater, which was recently given to
Globe readers. Any reader who may not
have this stage in his home should secure
before Sunday, an ordinary paper box
cover. or a piece of cardboard, 10xll
inches in size, and on this he can readily
set up the White House. The increasing
popularity of The Sunday Globe is dem
onstrated by an increase of 100, 900 in the

$50, which was double the circulation of
any other New England newspaper.
