The mild weather has been favorable for the unemployed workmen. Provisions and fuel have been cheap. A little money goes good ways if properly spent.

THEY WILL NOT BE SNOW D UNDER


 If regular blizz lrd should come on that day, or the day before February Is, will the Wesleyan University Giee and
 Mandolin Club get here to give their concert in the Town Hall, some one may ask. They will get here if any train runs on any railroad that day, or, if their train becomes stalled and tLe walk ing is still good, they may still be ex- pected. The following notice of a con- cert from the Washington CD. @ Post
 will prove this:
 "Last night was enough to discourage al most any entertainers excepting college boy S. who rise superior to the weather and all other vissitudes of 8 concert tour. Further more, thoy seemed to be favored with sort of blind luck. which always comes to their rescue when circumstances are most un. favorable. Therefore, when the Wesleyan Glee and Mandolin Association declined to be showed under, and pluckily made their ap pearancca nt Metzcrotts last evening, they were surprised to find a g0odly audience waiting them. 50 they turned loose and gavv a right lively entertainment. It is true that the trapped frog has evidently affected the voices of the singers, but then nobody ex- poets oporatic voIcaliZatiOn from college boys. What the friendly auditors expected, and what they received last night, were lively butTO ballads and choruses, with quaint conccits and catchy retrains wherein the efIcrvesCent student spirit finds it's fullest eX- pression Thus the Interrupted Serenade, ; by Mir Tower, with an imitation feline ac- compartments the venerable but hilarious song of Johnnie Schnok"r,' and Dried Apple Pics,' were the hits of the evening. The audience was thoroughly enrspport 1 with the entertainers, and applaudcd every
 number to the echo, encOres being. frequent
