The wise men came out OF the east.
Following thc beautiful STAR.
And the camels they rode
We're weighed down with their load
or spices ami gold from affair.
They came 20 Jerusalem's gate.
And "A message 10 Herod dispatched
Saying, "Tell us the news
OF the King OF the Jews,
Whose wonderful birth star we've watched. y
King Herod sprang up I'm alarm.
And the seventy summoned at morn,
And demanded OF them.
40 King. Bethlehem"
They replied, sis where Christ shall be born. y
So the wise men TO Bethlehem came,
Still following the beautiful star,
And they laid at the feet
OF the Christ Child sweet
Their spices and gold from affair.
Then they rev 'rently worshiped him there,
Though q rude manger Graded the boy.
And gave thanks TO the Lord
For fulfilling his word,
And returned to their country with Joy.
And the low bending heavens rang out
While the thrilling, seraphic refrain
Filled the earth like flood
"(ilory be unto God,
And on earth peace good will unto menu

vote in the future on the money ques-
ton as he has in the past,
But how do you reconcile Mr.. pritch-
ards campaign speeches and his ardent
support of Mckinley and other goldbugs
with your statement that he is a silver
man?"
From Republican standpoint the
tariff question overshadows all others.
4 can see no inconsistency in a man en-
dorsing the main leading features
Of n platform and at the same time not
fully concurring in some other, and what
may be considered a less important
plank. There are thousands of Republi-
cans who did this, in my judgment. The
Republicans honestly believe that proper
protection will bring prosperity to the
country and believing this they could
not cooperate with the Democratic par
ty with its well-known free trade ten
dency."
do you think a new tariff bin viii be
passed by the next Congress- ~
II confidently believe that if the Re
publicans control the next Senate tariff
| bill will certainly be passed also think
that silver will be given its proper place
in the monetary system"
All this means, il it means anything,
that the Republicans see that there is no
| danger of a silver bill becoming a law
as long as Mckinley is President, but
| that they are going to make a desperate
attempt to saddle another Mckinley tar
| iff uInp the country. They want Pritch-
| ards vote to help them get this high tar
| if and they are willing to have him
| pledged for silver in order to get it.
Hanna and the trusts are determined

| campaign. The easiest way to get it is
| by a robber tariff. To get such a tariff

VOICE RECITAL AT PEACE.
1t Would Have Done Credit to Gem

The recital given last evening at

pany of professionals, Of long standing,
for every number on the program vas
exceedingly well rendered.
The opening trio by Misses McIAlmn.soh,
B. Dinwiddie and Bush, with soprano
obligato by M. Dinwiddie was ave

and was much appreciated The v9cal
numbers given by Misses Anne
Mitchell and Sallie Lee, We're well ZEN
dereti, and their voices show promise ahe
solo Noel" by "Gounod," sung by MISS
Gertrude Bush, accompanied by MISS
Ethel Bagley with violin obligato, was al
most perfect in its renderings The greet
ing accorded both Miss Bette and MISS
Nanny Dinwiddie plainly proved they
were favorites with the audience. IL
may be questioned whether 1t rs wise TO
attempt operate airs in concert by pupils
unprepared by previous dramatic work,
but the numbers were we'll given. AS
whole the vocal pupils at Peace are DO
ing good work, but more attennoe TO
distinct enunciation and more traiIsing
in facial expression should be given. With
these. the school will rank high up in
musical circles-and under the excellent
training of Miss Smith,, these will no
doubt be obtained.
The pupils in Elocution certainly :dld
well. for their pieces were long and siif-
icult, and many words Of praise We're
hearAe The selections of Misses Annie
Mitchell, Ella McGee and Edith lEut-
Ter were executed with much grace, but
the work of Miss Byrd Lawrence hnd
Miss Eva Johns, was above the average
amateur. The first lady possessed Nell
modulated voice just suited for her work,
and every word was distinctly spoken
|swhile the facial expression of Miss
Johns was perfect.
Miss Casrira comes in for good STARE
of praise for her training. The element
of stage fright was missing and the
earnest effort of each student gives rise
to the thought that at any time ehey
NAV be called on for a public heas slng
they will be found ready.
Perhaps an explanation should be nSade
TO the public, as to why the Elocusion
-elections were all Of the same style, It is
that they were all prepared for another
occasion of a different nature, without
having the necessary time for further
preparation. Let us have more recftals
Of such musical and literary value; as
