A NOTED FACT.

For the meeting of the National
Educational Association at Denver in
1895 the excellent service given by the
Union Pacific was commented on by all
those who had the pleasure of using
that line. This year our educational
friends meet in Buffalo, n. Y, July Bird
to 10th, and members of the association
and others from points west of the Mis-
souri, River, should by all means use
the Union Pacific. for it is a noted fact
its service is superior to that OF any
other line in the west. For a number of
years this line has run Chair Cars, Pul-
ma Sleepers and Dining Cars through
to Chicago from the Pacific coast and
intermediate points, and they have re-

SUCCESS OF THE STUDENTS.

New Dramatic Talent Developed in Pre-
senting 1.-THE Yankee Detective
A large crowd assembled in Armory
hall last Friday evening to witness
The Yankee Detective as given by
our high school. The play was a de-
cided success and much credit is due
Prof. Hall, under whose management
the play was given. Mr.. Halls efforts
during his three years principalship
to do all in his power for the welfare of
our schools, has been untiring and we
believe that every patron OF the school
regrets to see him go. yet we must con-
graduate him on his departure from
pedagogy and his entrance to the school
of Blackstone.
The young ladies of the play, Miss
May Gilbert as the charming young
widow, Miss Bessie Gilbert as the
abandoned wife and Miss Flora Davis
as Granny While, not only acted their
parts to perfection, but assumed the
appearance of their respective charac-
tiers a la bonne heure. Matthew Nelson
in the role of the Yankee Detective
was par-excellence. The character,
Sam, the colored gemmen from Ten
nessee, was taken by Stewart Cham
pion, and to him we think must be
awarded the honors. The audience,
with n accord, thought there was "a
new coon in town." for the jigs, the
songs, the dialect were so perfectly im-
itative of a southern gemmen that it
was hard to realize that it was Stewart
in disguise.
The other characters taken by Clyde
Morris, Richard Vickers, Arthur Fen
ner, Walter Curteman, Edmund Gala
way, Albert Cole, Norman Nels on,
Maurice Wiles and Preston Morris
were remarkably we'll sustained and we
only regret that we have not space to
give them separate mention.
The net proceeds were about $50

$12, 900, 900. Those were the flush times
in Rome, and England no doubt was
greatly benefited thereby; but, alas!
"money matters became scarce, and the
poor Briton was forced to associate with
the delirium tremens and massive diges-
ton of the Saxon, who f1oated in a vast
ocean Of lard and wassail during his
waking hours and slept with the cum
ming little piglets at night. His earthen
floors were carpeted with straw and
frescoed with bones.
Let us not swell with pride as we re-
fer to cur ancestors, whose lives were
marked by an eternal combat between
malignant alcoholism and trichinosis.
Many a Saxon would have filed a
drunkard's grave, but wabbled SO in his
gait that he walked past it and missed
it.
To drink from the skulls of their dead
enemies was a part Of their religion,
and there were no heretics among them.
Christianity was introduced into Brit
ain during the second century, and later,
under Diocletian, the Christians We're
greatly prosecuted. Christianity did not
come from Rome, it is said, but from
Gaul. Among the martyrs in those early
days was st. Alban, who had been con
verified by a fugitive priest. The story
Of his life and death is familiar.
The Bible had been translated, and
in 314 A. D. Britain had three bishops

Agricola no doubt made the Roman
yoke easier upon the necks of the con-
quered people and suggested the rotation
of crops. He also invaded Caledonia and
captured quite a number of Scotchmen,
whom he took home and domesticated.
Afterward, in 121 A. D., the Emper-
or Hadrian was compelled to build a
wall to keep out the still unconquered
Caledonians. This is called the "Picts'
WALL" and a portion of it still exists.
Later, in 2OS A. D., Severus built a
solid wall of stone along this line, and
for 70 years there was peace between
the two nations. y
Toward the end of the third century
Carausius, who was appointed to the
thankless task of destroying the Saxon
pirates, shook off his allegiance to the
Emperor Diocletian, joined the pirates
and turned out Diocletian, usurping the
