VERY MERRY TIME
Christmas Tree at St. An.
drew's Cathedral.
Sunday School Children of Second
Congregation Enjoy Them
selves.

The pupils of the Sunday School of
the second congregation of st. An
drew's Cathedral had a merry time
last evening in the Sunday School
room, the occasion being the annual
Christmas tree. The affair took place
at $50 o'clock, at which time the
Christmas tree, towering up in the cen
ter of the room, was lighted with nu-
merous little candles. Strings of pop
corn were hung around, and, with nu-
merous ornaments, the effect was very
pretty. The presents for the children
were laid on tables, placed around the
tree. The school room was further
Illuminated with number of colored
lanterns. The children gathered in an
ante room, and, at a given signal, they
marched into the main room and
around the tree, while Wray Taylor,
the organist, played march. When
all had taken their places, carol,
Gather Around the Christmas Tree, -
was sung.
At the close bugle was heard in
the distance announcing the arrival Of
Santa Claus, excellently personated by
Harry NJ. Won Holt. Then the distri-
button of presents took place, after
which the children were regaled with
candy, buns, oranges, etc.
Three cheers were given for Santa
Claus.
The Rev. Alex. Macintosh, Mr.. and
Mrs. T. R. Walker, Mrs. T. May, Mr.
and Mrs. Dodge and the teachers did all
they could to make it pleasant occa-
sion, and they succeeded admirably.
Many of the parents of the children
were present; also, the Sisters and pu-
pills of st. Andrews Priory. A delight
full evening was brought to close by
the hearty singing of the doxology.

CENTRAL FIRE STATION.
Tenders For the New Building
Opened Yesterday.

The tenders for building the Central
Fire Station, at the corner of Fort
and Beretania streets, have at last been
opened, and is probable, even though
the foundation walls are covered with
grass, that work on the new station
will begin very shortly. Following are
the tenders as presented:

IR, BECKwITH's SUCCESS.
cts With Favor at Recent
Vocal Recital.


Maurice G. Beckwith, one of the ISL
and boys, is at present connected with
the Southwest Virginia Institute of
Bristol, Virginia-Te as vocal
instructor On Thursday evening d
vocal recital was given by Mr.. Beck
with, to whom a local paper gives the
following pleasant notice:
This was Mr.. Beckwith's first re-
cital before a Bristol audience, and
that they were not disappointed was
proved by the long and spontaneous
applause after each number. He has a
smooth, sweet, flexible voice, with a
magnificent control over it. His rem
dition of 'Genevieve' was beautiful,
and those who stayed away missed a
rare treat; this piece alone would have
paid you we'll to come.
Prof. Jones is to be congratulated
on his securing Mr.. Beckwith as vocal
instructor. With Mr.. Wall as musical
director, and Mr.. Beckwith as vocal in
structor, the music department of
Southwest Virginia Institute is second
to none in the country.
AT the close of the exercises Mr..
Beckwith's pupils presented him with
a beautiful and costly harp of flowers. y

they preferred Japanese, because they
thought that the latter would not want
the suffrage, and would enable them to
maintain their oligarchy with the least
amount of political friction. 1t is in
the nature of poetic justice that the
Japanese are now demanding equality
and keeping the planters awake o
nights with the noise of their fulmina-
tions. Though it will be the duty of
the United States to see that Japan
does not coerce Hawaii, there will be
small sympathy for the sugar barons
in the plight which an attempt to freeze
out independent white men has in
volved them.-San Francisco Chron-

The rapid growth or the River falls
Public School in efficiency and equip
ment during the past two or three
years, is matter of congratulation
and pride to every public spirited citi-
zen Of the city. This year it is in a
condition to be superior TO any preyi-
Gus year, and to be in reality potent
factor in the educational fdirs OF the
community.
The educational advantages OF River
Falls are the pride of her citizens, and
now that the Public School stands
upon a sound educational basis, all
young persons in the community can
obtain free of cost the mental disci-
pine and general information neces-
sary TO a preparation for business,
civic duties, social intercourse, and
entrance to the university.
II is believed that superior corps
of teachers has been selected. All of
thc old teachers have proved their
fitnC IS for the positions which they
occupy, and the new teachers who
begin work for the first time in our
Public School have had special train
ing and have proved their ability to
teach by several years of successful
experience in other city schools. Not
one of the Public School teachers is
inexperienced and without special
training
Many improvements have been
made on the school building, and valu-
able supplies have been added. City
water has been put into the building
on every floor from the basement to
the laboratory.
a room has been fitted up on the
third floor for laboratory purposes. 1t
is large and well lighted, and the ac-
cess to it from the High School room
is easy. On the north side of this
room is a large closet provided with
shelves for apparatus, and into which
the city water comes.
A new blackboard has been put
into every room of the High School
department, and new library case
has been put into the Office to accom-
modate the growing demands of the
library.
GJThe public library of the city which
consisted of about l55 volumes, has
been generously donated to the school
and transferred TO the Public School
Library.
A foundation has been laid to a
reference library of history. The
standard works on Greek, Roman, and
English history have been purchased,
and it is the purpose of the school
authorities to build up this library as
rapidly as the finances of the school
will allow.
More supplementary readers have
been added, and Avery's School Phys
les aud Bergen's Botany have been
substituted for Avery's Elements of
Natural Philosophy, and Gray's Les
sons in Botany.
Two Leitz compound microscopes
have been purchased for the work in
Botany, making three compound mi
croscopes owned by the school.
About eighty dollars have been eX-
pended upon physical apparatus.
Among the most important and ex-
pensiye pieces are, dynamo, yoltaic
battery, resistance box, thermo-
electric pile, ampere-meter, volt
meter Wheatstone side-bridge d a
porte-lumiiere.

The Normal Onens.

On Tuesday the pleasant activities
incident to the first week of school
began at the State Normal, and the
regular routine of assigning new
students to their proper grades and
approving he courses selected by old
students, has been highly seasoned
with the greetings OF old friends and
the meetings OF new. The ordinary
number of new students were at
hand on the opening day and a few
others, trifie belated, are still arriv-
ing. Pres. Parker's very pertinent
words of welcome awakened wave of
genuine interest which seems not in
the least to have spent itself during
the week. On theewhole If the spirit
ed life of these first few days is safe
index to the year work it promises
to run most profitable course.
The new teachers who have lately
been elected and who call their classes
for the first time this week are, of
course, objects of special interest.
Prof. ]. f. Sims who has charge of
the classes in Geography ard also
teaches Arithmetic and other
branches, peculiarly qualified for the
duties which he undertakes. He was
lately Superintendent of schools at
Onalaska, Wis, and has been principal
of several first grade High Schools in
the state. He holds a state life
certificate obtained several years ago
through the proper examinations:
and has done extensive institute work
under the direction of the board of
Regents.
Miss Florence Elizabeth Fleming
who assumes the instruction of the
grammar and model grades is also a
teacher of experience and superlative
excellence. She comes into the
Normal faculty after several successive
years of work in the Duluth Public
Schools, where, through the influence
of her forceful personality and in
diyidual methods of work, she made a
marked impression.
Mrs. j. Lorraine Truesdell succeeds
Miss Sheridan in the direction of the
department of Physical Culture, a
field demanding not only special train
ing but peculiar talents. She is a
graduate of the Cumnock School of
Oratory at Evanston, H., has taught
in the graded schools of Minnesota,
and is otherwise singularly adapted
for the position she holds.
One vacancy in the faculty remains
to be filed; in other respects the
machinery is complete and is already
gracefully in motion. The Lyceum
society will reorganize as usual Fri
day night, and the Normal Badger
promises to reapnear by Sept. 18th.

The Aupusf Moon.

These are the nights when the
August moon, so famous in song and
story, keeps majestic carnival in the
sky, making sweet havoc Of young
hearts terrestrial. Not even the long
evenings of June are more beautiful
than the cool nights of late August,
when the moon swlms in her sea of
sapphire. With such = big, ripe
hearted orb TO foster his plea, it is a
weak swain who cannot win in love
suit. The fellow whose girl refuses
him contemptuously at high noon-
If he is stupid enough to ply her at
such a time-is likely, If he renews
his suit under romantic moon, to
come capering home with his heart
and his arms full. For where is the
lad, no matter how rugged and
sunburned, who does not look, with
the night wind tanning his face and
the moon emphasizing his smallest
claim to valor, Ike a conquering
prince; and where, too, will you find
me young girl, having the least sug-
gestion of beauty, who, with the moon
frosting her summer finery, would not
pass for the sweetest of Arabian fair
les? And it has never yet been mar
veled at, that princes and flares should
fall III love.
1t is interesting TO note what the
poets have thought and said about the
moon. The attributes of personality
are often ascribed to her; and she has
awakened bursts of sentiment second
only in sweetness and dignity TO those
aroused by the sun Shakespeare in
his many references to the moon
clothed her with mysterious glamor
and often made her symbol of in
constancy. To the ardent Romeo who
in the garden exclaims,
Lady, by yonder blessed moon / swear
That tips with silver ali these fruit-tree tops
Juliet gives the restraining word:
o, swear not by tile moon, tn inconstant moon,
That monthly CT anges in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
Othello exclaims TO Iago:
Think st thou I'd make life OF jealousy
10 follow still the changes OF the moon
with fresh suspicious?
In another play Shakespeare makes
one of his characters say:
The moons an arrant thief
And her pale fire she snatches from the sun.
Shelley speaks Of the moon as
That orbed maiden with white fire laden,
Whom mortals call the moon;
and Milton makes pretty reference to
her in these lines from III PenserOso:
To behold the wandering moon,
Riding near her highest noon,
Like one that had been led aStray
Through the heavens wide painless way;
And oft. as if her head she bowed,
STOPPING through fieecy cloud.
A pretty verse about her by Addison
is this:
Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story Of her birth;
while the oft-quosed line from Nickles
Oumnor Hall is contained in the stan
zas following:
The dews of summer nights did fall
The moon, sweet regent of the sky,
Slvered the walls of Gunner Hall
And many an oak that grew thereby.
But in spite of these pretty para
graphs by the poets we have all learned
from Buffers Hudibras chat 1.-THE
moon is made of green cheese"
